Chapter 1411 Subtle Challenges

"I'm tired today."

"Do you want to offend me then?"

Olivia chuckled. "Your Highness, with your stature, I don't think I could offend you with such a small matter, could I?"

Beatrix knew that Olivia was not speaking sincerely. She snorted and said, "Spare me the flattery. Albert must have paid you handsomely for this consultation. Remember, whether you'll receive that fee depends solely on my word!"

Olivia smiled with a hint of resignation. Perhaps such a threat might work on other doctors, but can it indeed intimidate me?

She casually glanced around and then pointed her finger toward the window. "Do you think that bird on that branch is feeling afraid?"

Beatrix had never heard of such a philosophical story from Criecia.

She didn't understand what Olivia meant and followed the direction of her pointing finger to look outside.

On a tree outside, a bird was perched on a thin branch, swaying as if it could fall at any moment.

She frowned. What did Olivia mean?

Wasn't I just threatening her? What does it have to do with this bird?

Observing Beatrix's puzzled expression, Olivia decided not to wait for understanding to dawn. She explained, "It isn't afraid because its reliance isn't on the branch beneath its feet but on its wings!"


Beatrix still appeared perplexed as she stared at the bird outside, still not understanding.

Olivia didn't wait for her to understand and politely said, "Your Highness, please excuse us. We're truly exhausted and in need of some rest."

After speaking, she went upstairs with Eugene.

The two guards looked at each other, unsure whether they should stop them.

Seeing that Beatrix remained silent, they hesitated, ultimately opting not to intervene.

In the meantime, Beatrix was gradually connecting the dots. Moments ago, she had threatened Olivia that unless she allowed Olivia to treat her, Olivia wouldn't be able to earn the substantial consultation fee they had provided. Then, Olivia mentioned that the bird relied not on the branch but on its wings.

Olivia was implying that she wasn't afraid of her threats because she relied on her own abilities!

After understanding this, Beatrix felt even more embarrassed.

Olivia was subtly challenging me!

D*mn it.

How despicable!

Does Olivia think I can't do anything to her?

Just a doctor who thinks highly of herself. I must take action so she knows her place.

Thinking of this, she angrily stood up from the couch and coincidentally met Albert at the door, who had just returned.

He walked quickly, seemingly in a rush.

In just a few steps, he reached her and said, "Beatrix."

"Where did you find the doctor?"

Albert smiled. "In Criecia. What's wrong?"

As he spoke, he glanced inside and didn't see Olivia and the others.
