Chapter 702: Killing Intent

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The people naturally did not doubt the crown prince’s words, but they were still a little shocked when they heard it.

After all, in their eyes, the royal family had always been high and mighty. All the news reports were very positive, and they seemed to be a harmonious family.

Coupled with the old king, no one would have any objections to the royal family.

Even if someone from the royal family’s younger generation caused a scandal, it would immediately be resolved appropriately and they would apologize to the people.

They did not expect these things to happen, and the crown prince had personally told them.

“I will leave the country after the coronation ceremony and will no longer receive royal allowance. The members of the royal family involved in this matter will leave the royal family and live as commoners in the future,” the crown prince continued. “This is the last thing I can do for this country as the crown prince.”

After saying that, he bowed deeply to the people, who did not know how to respond.

The crown prince really felt sorry from the bottom of his heart. He was a selfish person who abandoned his responsibility to pursue freedom. This was the least he could do for this country.

He had contacted the media in advance and filmed what had happened and posted it. In less than half an hour, everyone in the kingdom knew.

With the crown prince’s words, everyone quickly accepted Princess Sophie as the queen. After all, she had indeed done a lot of good during this period of time, and allowed employment opportunities in her country to increase greatly.

This was more useful than what other members of the royal family called charitable activities. People could only survive if they had jobs.

The public supported this matter, which greatly agitated Annie and the others.

After being forcibly dragged away, the servants in the palace quickly packed their luggage and they were thrown out of the palace.

Fortunately, these people had money. They stayed in the closest place to the palace and thought about how to overthrow Sophie every day.

This time, the three siblings were completely on the same side. After all, they had a common enemy.

“Damn Sophie. I can’t believe she wanted the throne, too,” Henry swore.

John’s face was cold. “And she even convinced Big Brother to give her the throne. What a good trick.”

They were clearly only one step away from the throne, but they were forcefully pulled down. No one could accept this.

Annie was so angry that she lost her mind. It was her daughter who had ascended the throne. It was bad enough that she had not been able to gain anything from it, but she had also been thrown out and made the commoner she despised the most.

She said angrily, “I shouldn’t have given birth to her in the first place. She actually threw her mother out and ignored her. She’ll definitely go to hell after she dies.”

William mocked, “That will only happen after she dies. She’s a high and mighty queen now. Didn’t she say a word to you? Couldn’t you tell anything about such a big matter?”

He wasn’t going to trust Annie completely. After all, she and Sophie were mother and daughter. If this turned out to be another ploy, he wouldn’t have anything to bet on.

William, who had been deceived by Jiang An, now felt that there was a conspiracy.

Annie became irritable. “What nonsense are you talking about? If I knew, why would I still be chased out now? Now that the entire country knows that we’ve been expelled from the royal family, there’s no room for negotiation.”

Mary quickly came out to mediate. “Let’s not fight among ourselves. If we don’t come up with a countermeasure, Sophie will really become a queen.”

William sneered. “Don’t pretend to be a good person here. If the crown prince hadn’t returned, you would have let that substitute pass the throne on to your father.”

This sentence exposed everyone’s hypocrisy again. They were all doing this for their own people. No one should look down on each other.

For a moment, the entire room fell silent. William realized that he had said something wrong and sat on the side with a dark expression, regretting it.

After a while, Mary said, “No matter what happened before, our goal now is the same. We can’t let Sophie take the throne.”

“Do you have any ideas?” Annie asked.

Mary’s tone was calm. “Then let Sophie die.”

This was the most effective method. If a person died, there would be nothing left. Naturally, she would not be able to become a queen.

Henry and John glanced at each other, clearly tempted by the suggestion.

Trying to overthrow Sophie would definitely be a huge project, and it would require a lot of support. They did not know what it would take.

However, killing Sophie was very easy. They still had many forces that they could use. If they went all out, they could rush to the palace and kill someone.

William smiled. “That’s right. As long as she dies, there’ll be nothing left. The crown prince doesn’t want to be king, so the king can only be one of us.”

Henry turned to Annie. “What do you think of the idea?”
