Chapter 577 - Five Hundred And Seventy-seven: An Attack To Launch Tonight (2/2)

”Fine, I believe you,” The queen said and he looked at up her in gratitude.

”Thank you, your highness,” He was still expressing his gratitude when the queen added.

”However,” She said, ”We are still going to investigate this matter to appease everyone and fulfill all righteousness...” the queen said without noticing the way Lord Albert's expression shifted.

”Since you are innocent, you don't have to do anything but to comply with the investigation and I'll make sure they don't go about it in a way that disrupts your daily life nor would word around to the public about it,” the queen promised him.

”I-Of course,” Lord Albert recovered himself and bowed once more, ”You're so magnanimous, my queen,”

”You can leave now,” the queen dismissed him and he stood up.

”Thank you, your majesty,” He smiled at her, turning in the direction of the door.

The instant Lord Albert was out, the smile on his face vanished at once.

Why did he do this, she asks?

Because he wanted his child to survive. There was not a parent who wouldn't want their child to survive and he was doing just that. His days were numbered and he had to made sure his daughter was in a better place - even if it means going against the queen.

Lord Albert was roused out of his thoughts when he bumped into someone hard. He looked forward, it was a girl with unnatural platinum blonde hair and piercing amber eyes glaring up at him.

His brows couldn't help but furrow, why was she staring at him that way as if he had offended her? He doesn't even know who she is.

Almost immediately, the girl slowly lowered her eyes - the glare must not have been for him. Someone else most have offended her and she transferred her aggression to him, he thought.

But then, even after bumping into him, she was about to walk away without an apology. What impudence! Lord Albert couldn't stand the insult.

”Stop there?” he commanded with authority.

She stopped and turned, but that took almost a minute, and muttered, ”What?” in a nonchalant manner.

His anger rose to the surface, ”You bumped into an elder and yet leave without even an apology? Children of nowadays, what's this world turning into?! ” He lamented.

”An apology,” The girl scoffed and then stared him straight in the eyes as she tilted her head in a bored manner, ”Get in line for an apology because I wasn't born with one,” she said and strut away while he watched in shocked silence.

”You!” Lord Albert pointed at the retreating figure and was close to an outburst.

However, he controlled himself. That arrogant brat must be a daughter to one of the guests which was no wonder she had the impetus to speak to him in the manner.

But now wasn't a moment to get riled up, not when he had an attack to launch tonight.
