Terranova’s queen was high in position but not in power. The police chief believed she would choose


    not to protect the foreigners if she had time to weigh the pros and cons.


    “Your people?”


    Cami scoffed. “The man my siblings hold in custody isn’t from Terranova. He’s one of our own. We


    have not established a treaty between our countries, so our police force can’t extradite him. It is my


    understanding that those who were gunned down weren’t innocent civilians. They are criminals with


    blood on their hands. Protected by the arms dealers, they set up a base in South Ind andmitted


    all sorts of crimes. Not only did you fail to arrest them and bring them to justice, but you also gave them


    protection. Ha! You have the nerve to collude with the criminals in the queen’s presence.”


    Fred had nothing to say.


    These acts weremon in Terranova, but Fred was terrified dark side of humanity would be made


    public.


    The air was thick with tension.


    The queen fell into contemtion for a while before uttering, “Chi Carson, I order you to apologize to


    the firstdy’s family on your knees. You should offer them all assistance to bring the perpetrator back


    to their homnd.”


    With her eyes sparkling, Be exchanged nces with Cami in relief.


    “Heh. The queen is a solid woman.”


    Ryan touched his chin infort. “Cami’s best friend is such a kindred spirit.”Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    “Hey! That’s the First Lady for you. You guys are not so close as to being on a first-name basis,” Drew


    whined. Snapping at Ryan has be quite a thing for him now.


    Ryan gnashed his teeth. “Be is like family to me, and I’m extending the same respect and attention to


    her sister. Is there a problem?”


    Winston panicked, and his face flushed.


    “Your Highness, I’m just a police chief, but I was only acting on orders.”


    Fred discolored in rage. He refused to back down. “Your Highness, think you should keep out of the


    country’s affairs. The secretary can deliver the message to His Highness the King to make a decision.


    “Acting on orders? Whose orders?” The Queen raised a brow. Fred was lost for words.


    Amid the dy, a voice came in. “Your Highness.”


    Everybody turned to the source of the voice. A man dressed in


    Terranova’s court attire saluted the queen.


    “And he is…” Be blinked curiously.


    “He’s the King’s chief secretary, on-call 24/7 to attend to the King. He conveys the King’s messages.


    Despite his position, he holds high authority,” Cami whispered in her ear.


    “Got it. Basically, he’s like the King’s mistress but not the mistress.”


    “Shh…” Cami put her index finger against her lips while Be stuck out her tongue cheekily.


    “Are you here with a message from the King?” The Queen asked with a faint smile.


    “Yes, Your Highness,” the chief secretary responded with respect.


    Fred let out a sinister smile.


    He believed the king would know better than to break the bnce between the century-old ties


    between politics and the military.


    The chief secretary smiled pretentiously and said solemnly, “I hereby convey His Majesty the King’s


    order.”


    The citizens of Terranova got down on one knee and kept their heads down for the royal decree.


    However, Be and her group did not observe the same they were foreigners.
