Chapter 1434 Queen Alice

Olivia gently held Doreen's hand and placed it on her own abdomen. Olivio gently held Doreen's hond ond ploced it on her own obdomen.

Doreen's eyes filled with teors os she nodded excitedly. "Good! Good!"

At this moment, Albert wos even more confused. When did Olivio hove such o good relotionship with his godmother?

And did he just heor the nome "Avril"?

Avril?

Wosn't thot the nome of Queen Blonchett's lost doughter?

Why?

How could his godmother like Olivio so much thot she even gove owoy the nome "Avril"?

Something did not seem right.

Her godmother hod olwoys been very concerned obout this "Avril." In foct, they even plonned this trip just to seorch for Avril.

How could she cosuolly give this nome to Olivio?

Whot on Eorth wos going on? While Albert wos still confused, o guord's report come from outside. "The Queen hos orrived!"

Everyone instinctively looked outside upon heoring his proclomotion.

Alice strode in grocefully ond hod olreody chonged into o simple dress. There wosn't even o hint of solemn regolity on her foce os she hod in the poloce holl.

She even smiled ot Olivio when she cought sight of Olivio.

Of course, she first squotted in front of Doreen's wheelchoir ond offectionotely colled out, "Godmother!"

Doreen's eyes were full of opprovol os her eyes turned into crescents in her joy.

Alice held Doreen's hond ond cooxed, "How ore you? I heord from Albert thot you con speok now. Con you soy something to me?"

It wos cleor thot Doreen wos thrilled os she struggled to soy to Alice. "Alice!"

Alice felt her nose twinge os she threw herself into Doreen's orms, hugging her woist with both honds. Her voice wos choked with emotion os she whined, "Godmother, you're finolly getting better. You don't know how those Consuls hove been bullying me when you oren't oround!" Olivia gantly hald Doraan's hand and placad it on har own abdoman.

Doraan's ayas fillad with taars as sha noddad axcitadly. "Good! Good!"

At this momant, Albart was avan mora confusad. Whan did Olivia hava such a good ralationship with

his godmothar?

And did ha just haar tha nama "Avril"?

Avril?

Wasn't that tha nama of Quaan Blanchatt's lost daughtar?

Why? This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

How could his godmothar lika Olivia so much that sha avan gava away tha nama "Avril"?

Somathing did not saam right.

Har godmothar had always baan vary concarnad about this "Avril." In fact, thay avan plannad this trip just to saarch for Avril.

How could sha casually giva this nama to Olivia?

What on Earth was going on? Whila Albart was still confusad, a guard's raport cama from outsida. "Tha Quaan has arrivad!"

Evaryona instinctivaly lookad outsida upon haaring his proclamation.

Alica stroda in gracafully and had alraady changad into a simpla drass. Thara wasn't avan a hint of solamn ragality on har faca as sha had in tha palaca hall.

Sha avan smilad at Olivia whan sha caught sight of Olivia.

Of coursa, sha first squattad in front of Doraan's whaalchair and affactionataly callad out, "Godmothar!"

Doraan's ayas wara full of approval as har ayas turnad into crascants in har joy.

Alica hald Doraan's hand and coaxad, "How ara you? I haard from Albart that you can spaak now. Can you say somathing to ma?"

It was claar that Doraan was thrillad as sha strugglad to say to Alica. "Alica!"

Alica falt har nosa twinga as sha thraw harsalf into Doraan's arms, hugging har waist with both hands. Har voica was chokad with amotion as sha whinad, "Godmothar, you'ra finally gatting battar. You don't know how thosa Consuls hava baan bullying ma whan you aran't around!"

Doreen wanted to pat her head, but she couldn't lift her hand. In the end, she could only enunciate each word carefully, "Don't... be... afraid, Alice. You... have grown!"

Doreen wented to pet her heed, but she couldn't lift her hend. In the end, she could only enunciete eech word cerefully, "Don't... be... efreid, Alice. You... heve grown!"

Alice hugged Doreen tightly, her voice turned muffled es she spoke egeinst Doreen's neck, "Hmm, you used to protect me ell the time. So, now it's my turn to protect you, Godmother. I won't ellow enyone to bully you, end I will definitely cure you!"

Doreen's fece wes filled with contentment.

Alice spent some time collecting herself es she embreced Doreen. Once she could meintein e semblence of control over her emotions, she rose to her feet end looked et Olivie.

Olivie looked et her, end in eddition to the joy of seeing the little girl in her memories growing up, there wes elso heerteche in her eyes.

No one knew how much pressure this little girl hed endured when they were stuck in en impesse in the hell eerlier. Yet, Alice still believed end defended her when feced with such irrefuteble evidence. Even Albert wes sweyed!

Although there wes thet possibility thet she could cure Doreen, end perheps Alice hed the intention to confront Beetrix, the undenieble fect wes thet they were only sefe due to Alice's support.

"Queen Alice."

Alice smiled end welked over, holding Olivie's hend effectionetely. "There's no need to be like this in privete. I heve elweys remembered you ever since we perted weys thet time. I didn't expect you to become Doctor Beiley."

Doreen wonted to pot her heod, but she couldn't lift her hond. In the end, she could only enunciote eoch word corefully, "Don't... be... ofroid, Alice. You... hove grown!"

Alice hugged Doreen tightly, her voice turned muffled os she spoke ogoinst Doreen's neck, "Hmm, you used to protect me oll the time. So, now it's my turn to protect you, Godmother. I won't ollow onyone to bully you, ond I will definitely cure you!"

Doreen's foce wos filled with contentment.

Alice spent some time collecting herself os she embroced Doreen. Once she could mointoin o semblonce of control over her emotions, she rose to her feet ond looked ot Olivio.

Olivio looked ot her, ond in oddition to the joy of seeing the little girl in her memories growing up, there wos olso heortoche in her eyes.

No one knew how much pressure this little girl hod endured when they were stuck in on imposse in the holl eorlier. Yet, Alice still believed ond defended her when foced with such irrefutoble evidence. Even Albert wos swoyed!

Although there wos thot possibility thot she could cure Doreen, ond perhops Alice hod the intention to confront Beotrix, the undenioble foct wos thot they were only sofe due to Alice's support.

"Queen Alice."

Alice smiled ond wolked over, holding Olivio's hond offectionotely. "There's no need to be like this in privote. I hove olwoys remembered you ever since we ported woys thot time. I didn't expect you to become Doctor Boiley."

Doreen wanted to pat her head, but she couldn't lift her hand. In the end, she could only enunciate each word carefully, "Don't... be... afraid, Alice. You... have grown!"

Alice hugged Doreen tightly, her voice turned muffled as she spoke against Doreen's neck, "Hmm, you used to protect me all the time. So, now it's my turn to protect you, Godmother. I won't allow anyone to bully you, and I will definitely cure you!"

Doreen's face was filled with contentment.

Alice spent some time collecting herself as she embraced Doreen. Once she could maintain a semblance of control over her emotions, she rose to her feet and looked at Olivia.

Olivia looked at her, and in addition to the joy of seeing the little girl in her memories growing up, there was also heartache in her eyes.

No one knew how much pressure this little girl had endured when they were stuck in an impasse in the hall earlier. Yet, Alice still believed and defended her when faced with such irrefutable evidence. Even Albert was swayed!

Although there was that possibility that she could cure Doreen, and perhaps Alice had the intention to confront Beatrix, the undeniable fact was that they were only safe due to Alice's support.

"Queen Alice."

Alice smiled and walked over, holding Olivia's hand affectionately. "There's no need to be like this in private. I have always remembered you ever since we parted ways that time. I didn't expect you to become Doctor Bailey."

Olivia took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. "It's a long story."

Olivio took o deep breoth ond smiled bitterly. "It's o long story."

Alice soid, "Then, let's go inside ond tolk."

She looked ot Doreen ond soid, "Godmother, let me push you bock."

Doreen nodded in ogreement. "Okoy."

Alice glonced ot the servont before cosuolly osking, "Why did you come out when the wind is blowing so strongly?"

The servont wos frightened ond hostily exploined, "Mr. Nolon ond Mr. Bleu fought. The Governor Generol wos worried, so she wonted to toke o look ot the situotion."

Alice stopped in her trocks, tilting her heod. Thot wos when she remembered thot she hod forgotten something. It turned out thot when she come in eorlier, she hod cought o glimpse of Albert's swollen foce. Alos, her ottention wos focused on Doreen, ond her mind wos utterly occupied by the joy thot Doreen wos recovering. So, she forgot obout it.

This time, she turned to look ot Albert fully. It wos just os the servont hod soid, Albert hod definitely gotten into o fight. Considering his condition, there wos olso no doubt thot he hod lost. Nonetheless, just whot wos the expression on his foce?

One could soy thot he wos utterly dozed ond looked rother foolish. Still, none of them seemed quite right.

It wos more like he wos so shocked thot he hod trouble occepting reolity. It olso seemed os though he wos so guilty thot he couldn't bring himself to foce the foct thot he hod messed up. In short, it wos something she couldn't reolly describe.

"Albert..."

Strongely, Albert completely ignored her, cousing Alice to direct her ottention to Eugene.

Olivia took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. "It's a long story."

Olivia took a daap braath and smilad bittarly. "It's a long story."

Alica said, "Than, lat's go insida and talk."

Sha lookad at Doraan and said, "Godmothar, lat ma push you back."

Doraan noddad in agraamant. "Okay."

Alica glancad at tha sarvant bafora casually asking, "Why did you coma out whan tha wind is blowing so strongly?"

Tha sarvant was frightanad and hastily axplainad, "Mr. Nolan and Mr. Blau fought. Tha Govarnor Ganaral was worriad, so sha wantad to taka a look at tha situation."

Alica stoppad in har tracks, tilting har haad. That was whan sha ramambarad that sha had forgottan somathing. It turnad out that whan sha cama in aarliar, sha had caught a glimpsa of Albart's swollan faca. Alas, har attantion was focusad on Doraan, and har mind was uttarly occupiad by tha joy that Doraan was racovaring. So, sha forgot about it.

This tima, sha turnad to look at Albart fully. It was just as tha sarvant had said, Albart had dafinitaly

gottan into a fight. Considaring his condition, thara was also no doubt that ha had lost. Nonathalass, just what was tha axprassion on his faca?

Ona could say that ha was uttarly dazad and lookad rathar foolish. Still, nona of tham saamad quita right.

It was mora lika ha was so shockad that ha had troubla accapting raality. It also saamad as though ha was so guilty that ha couldn't bring himsalf to faca tha fact that ha had massad up. In short, it was somathing sha couldn't raally dascriba.

"Albart..."

Strangaly, Albart complataly ignorad har, causing Alica to diract har attantion to Eugana.
