Suddenly, there was a loud bang outside the hall, and the dust from the beams rustled down.
The Queen sat up abruptly, looking at the source of the sound in horror.
Several royal attendants ran in, scrambling and shouting in panic, “Something bad has happened! Something terrible has happened! The Aegis Guards have invaded the Imperial City!”
“This is simply nonsense. How could the palace, as impregnable as it is, be breached?” the Queen said.
The royal attendant was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, his voice trembling like a sieve. “I… I don’t know…”
Before he could finish speaking, the palace door was kicked open with a bang.
Alexandra, dressed in black armor, led more than a dozen Royal Guards in.
The tip of her spear was still dripping with blood, and she exuded a murderous aura.
Seeing Alexandra barging in with people, the Queen was so frightened that she fell from the throne.
She was stunned for a moment, then shrieked, “Protect me! Protect me! Capture these traitors!”
But the guards outside the hall had already been dealt with by the Royal Guards, and no one responded after shouting for a long time.
“Stop shouting.” Alexandra approached step by step, sneering coldly, “You and Fermin challenged the throne, murdered the King, and colluded with the enemy to betray the country. Each and every one of these crimes is enough for you to be executed by slicing.”
The palace maids and royal attendants were so frightened that they scattered and fled, but only one old royal attendant stood in front of the Queen, trembling, “Alexandra, the Queen was personally appointed by His Majesty. You can’t
“So what?” Alexandra threw her spear, the tip of which flew past his ear and was nailed to the screen behind him. “The crime of treason is unforgivable!”
The royal attendant fell to the ground with a cry, urine seeping from his crotch.
He no longer dared to protect the Queen.
The Queen was also pale with fright, her mouth wide open, unable to say a word.
At this moment, she no longer resembled the Queen.
Her eyes were full of fear.
But as the Queen, she had her pride, and even if she was afraid of death, she would not bow her head to Alexandra.
Chapter 748
“I never thought I would be reduced to this.” The Queen smiled self–deprecatingly, her eyes full of loneliness.
Alexandra was too lazy to watch her act, and shouted sharply. “Come on, tie up the Queen.”
Before the words fell, two guards stepped forward and wrapped the Queen with hemp rope.
The Queen’s hairpin was askew, and her pearls and emeralds were scattered all over the ground. She screamed in terror, “How dare you! I am the Queen! My son will not let you get away with this!”
Alexandra stomped on the Queen’s diadem, crushing the Eastern Pearl. She smiled coldly, “Fermin can’t even protect himself. What makes you think he can save you?”
“No, no, my son would never lose,” the Queen shrieked.
A soldier shoved a wad of rags into her mouth, causing the Queen to pass out.
The team was like a sharp blade cutting through the waves, rushing forward along the Core Palace corridor.
