Unfinished Business with You novel

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?"

Albert replied, "That's right. It belongs to my half-sister Zoey."

Olivia understood what he meant. Eurosia was traditionally ruled by women, but for the sake of the quality of their offspring, they would probably sleep with different men in a way similar to how ancient kings used to have concubines to choose from. Since they don't share the same father, it's only natural for conflicts to arise.

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 of giving Beatrix anything to
