Chapter 1398 Who Is Her Father

Albert looked at her in surprise. "Yes, you're right. But my mother passed away five years ago."

"I see," replied Olivia. What he says seems to be in line with what I found out. So, if I'm Blanchett's daughter, wouldn't that make Albert my younger brother? Still, it's too early to mention these things at the moment. I'll wait until I've met Doreen. She looked at Albert, saying, "I hear that Queen Alice has done a good job of running the country."

Albert replied, "Yeah, things were still manageable in the past with my godmother's help. But now that she's ill, my sister's reign isn't that stable anymore. Countless people are looking to take advantage of our small country in my godmother's absence. However, the trickiest problem is that there is a faction within our country that is also scheming against us. Alice fears that there is collusion between them and foreign forces, so she has to be on high alert every single day!"

Olivia asked, "Is that faction also descended from your family?"

And now, Beatrix is just like Titiana was back then. Since ascending the throne, Alice has been governing our country with benevolence. So, she never took action against Beatrix, fearing that doing so would give cause for criticism. In reality, Beatrix wasn't as crazy at first as she is now, but at her father's instigation, she has been constantly eyeing Alice and rallying various forces to her side, seeking an opportunity to overthrow Alice. That's why River and I have been extremely cautious—we are afraid
