Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1463

Chapter 1463 Overly Enthusiastic Praises

Her speech was both modest and assertive, serving as a warning to the consul members, who were now all on edge.

Indeed, things were different now. The young girl had seemingly grown up instantly.

They knew better than to voice their dissent in this situation, especially those who had conspired with Lucian. Azriel and Isidore were already investigating them.

However, in hindsight, who would have expected this young girl to outmaneuver the cunning Lucian? This battle had surprised everyone, and even as bystanders, they had been terrified. No one could have anticipated the repeated plot twists.

When Lucian's men stormed into the hall, they had already prepared themselves for a change in leadership. Who could have imagined that each turn of events would be even more shocking than the last?!

Alice had long anticipated this. She forcefully suppressed Lucian's followers just like that. Without a hint of courage and strategy, she couldn't have arranged everything so seamlessly. She managed to kill her father publicly, yet no one said a thing.

Their previous practice of not taking sides and avoiding offense seemed no longer feasible. So, one by one, they stood up to pledge their loyalty.

"Your Highness, I have no objections. In fact, I have some heartfelt words to say. Although we may

have been concerned about your age before, we never doubted the correctness of your decisions. You are the queen of Eurosia, and we believe that every decision you make is in the best interests of our country. Today, you have shown wisdom, courage, and foresight in your every move. It has truly refreshed our perception of Your Highness. Your leadership is beyond admirable, and we pledge our unwavering loyalty to you."

"Yes, indeed. Your Highness has both courage and vision. You are proactive and far-sighted." Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"As expected of Your Highness. You truly have more foresight than us old folks. Your Highness is perfectly suited for this position."

Alice couldn't help but twitch her lips at the overly enthusiastic praises. Everyone loved compliments, but was it necessary to be so exaggerated?! Heavens, she didn't even realize she was so capable!

"I am indeed trying my best, but I am not as good as you all say. I hope that if I make any mistakes, the Consuls can bear with me and provide timely advice."

"Of course!" the council members replied in unison.

At that, Alice smiled and turned to Olivia. "Olivia…"

It was a look that clearly said, It's a comfortable seat, Olivia. You take it!

Olivia glared at her sternly, her voice loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear. "Don't even think about passing it to me. I absolutely refuse to sit on that throne!"

People were taken aback by her vehement refusal. Was it impossible to relinquish the throne after all?

Look at the father and daughter who had fought to the death over it earlier. In comparison, it was clear who was the better choice.

While the position came with immense power, it also carried tremendous pressure. Those without ambition naturally saw it as a burden.

Seeing everyone's attention on her, Olivia awkwardly explained, "Please don't make it difficult for me. I'm not cut out to be a queen. My life's aspirations are rather shallow; I simply want to live a quiet life with my husband and children. Besides, Mother also said she respects my opinions. My opinion is that you should sit in this position. However, if you ever need my assistance, I'll do my best to assist you."
