"My royal family's administrative badge has been stolen, and there is nowhere to stop her." Isabella found out about it.
"Why did she do this? Didn't you say that she has always been very well-behaved?" Elizabeth said with a serious expression.
"My stupid sister, being well-behaved is just superficial. When you and I were at Michelle's age, didn't you tell a lot of lies?" Isabella satirized Elizabeth meaningfully.
"Hmm..." Elizabeth lowered her head and stopped talking, feeling a little worried about Michelle's safety.
"Maybe Michelle has discovered my secret. Half a month ago, she sneaked into my room, playing with the relic left to us by my father, which is the sapphire pendant." Isabella did not hide it, He directly stated his speculation.
Elizabeth's eyes widened. Based on her understanding of her daughter Michelle, she should be able to easily detect something suspicious.
But Isabella has always been ruthless, Michelle knew the secret, how could she still be able to keep her alive? !
Elizabeth's face turned pale, and she looked at Isabella warily.
"Maybe... maybe Michelle didn't see anything? Just went out to relax."
"At this time, you still want to lie to me. If Michelle didn't see anything, why did you leave the capital all of a sudden? I'm not a fool. Do you want to deceive me with such a lame excuse to relax? ?” Isabella’s tone was tinged with anger.
"No... no, Michelle is still a child, so she may not know much. I hope you don't attack her." Elizabeth pleaded.
"Are you begging me?" Isabella had a smile on her face.
Elizabeth lowered her head, her lips moved but she couldn't say a word.
"It's a pity my sister, when it comes to rights issues, there won't be any family affection, as if I imprisoned you here." Isabella said coldly.
"What do you want to do? Michelle is just a child..." Elizabeth became emotional.
"So what?" Isabella paused, her eyes were cold, and she said expressionlessly
"Since Michelle knows my secret, it is impossible for me to let her live."
"I will kill her with my own hands, if you want to accompany your daughter to hell?"
"I will respect your choice and will not obstruct..."
Chapter 24: Monthly Ticket Addition
a few days later.
The Qiangwei family's private army of 5 people marched into England.
They did not follow the Queen's instructions to support England's northern defense against the restless Oferley family.
Instead, he listened to Duke Qiangwei's voice, and quickly went directly to the capital, where he was stationed under the high city wall for preparations.
Several towering siege machines were almost higher than the city gate.
The Duke of Rose naturally came prepared, and the private army of 5 people is a good deterrent, which can make Isabella feel uneasy.
If one's fists were not strong enough, there would be no chance of negotiating with that iron-fisted queen.
In fact, in normal times, the 5 private army of Duke Qiangwei is nothing, and it is difficult to pose any threat.
Because under normal circumstances, the garrison strength of the capital is about [-], and each of them is an elite soldier.
But now is an extraordinary period, and most of the defenders of the royal capital have been sent to the northern defense line of England to resist the upcoming rebellion.
So now there are only [-] royal guards left in the capital. Under the Qiangwei family's [-] elite army, I am afraid that they can only tremble. The dark trebuchet makes people feel panic.
The Qiangwei family's private army stationed outside the capital, forming a siege, and the entire capital fell into a terrible situation of isolation and helplessness.
It was like pushing Isabella directly to the guillotine, as if the sharp knife would fall down at any moment and cut off her head.
This sudden move made Isabella restless. Even if the Royal Army was transferred back from the north, it would probably take seven days.
Now it seems that negotiation is the last straw, and Isabella has to accept it.
The Duke of Rose intends to use three questions to judge whether the current queen is real or not. They are all things he and the queen have experienced. As long as the current Elizabeth is real, then it is easy to answer, proving that everything is Princess Michelle one-sided words.
But if the queen can't answer, then Duke Rose intends to lead the army directly into the capital, maintain the orthodoxy of the royal family, and elect Michelle to the throne, becoming the biggest beneficiary.
Duke Rose's audience was allowed without any hindrance.
And a temporary Duke's Mansion has been arranged in the capital, which is a signal of Isabella's goodwill.
For the time being, Duke Rose didn't say clearly that Michelle was by his side, but let her enter the capital in disguise, and let her stay in the temporary Duke's mansion for the time being.
Merlin and Alice are serving as guards, so they also rest here temporarily.
Before leaving, the Duke of Rose asked his knight captain Myron to keep a close eye on Michelle and not allow her to move around at will, and then went to the palace alone to meet Her Majesty the Queen...
◇
evening.
The palace was lit up, and the colorful colors shone around.
In the main hall, Isabella sat on the throne.
Below are the four Thorn Knights, Catherine, Hamil, Dexter, and Emanuel.
Wearing a gorgeous red dress, Duke Rose walked slowly into the hall, his leather boots making a rattling sound as they stepped on the red carpet.
When he came to the center, he did not kneel down, but bowed slightly, saluting to Isabella.
"Your Majesty, it's been a long time."
"Well, long time no see." Isabella paused, and said tactfully, "Now we are in a period of chaos in the empire. Why do you come to me in your busy schedule if you don't support the defense line in the north?"
"Just passing by, so I came to visit His Majesty." Duke Rose responded lightly.
Isabella immediately narrowed her eyes and looked at the Duke of Rose. She felt that this man was talking with his eyes open, and his face would not even turn red!
He came from Wales to visit him specially, and he led a private army of [-] behind him!
This is not a visit at all, but a naked threat to show your muscles!
Isabella couldn't see through the Duke of Rose at all, wondering what this man was thinking under his gentlemanly appearance?
"Visit me? Are you kidding me? How dare you call me a visit with [-] private troops surrounding the capital? No need to say polite words. What is the purpose of your coming here? It won't be to reach an agreement with the Offrey family. What kind of consensus is there?"
Isabella didn't have much patience, and simply asked straight to the point, wanting to know what the purpose of Duke Rose was.
"No, I don't have a deep friendship with Grand Duke Offrey, and it's impossible to reach a consensus." Duke Rose denied it calmly.
"Then what do you want to do? The mighty private army is stationed outside the capital, no matter what you think, it's something only traitors and thieves would do?" Isabella's expression became serious.
"To be honest, I've heard some rumors about His Majesty recently, so I'm very puzzled, and I can't help but want to come over and find out in person." Duke Rose said meaningfully.
"What rumor?" Isabella had a bad feeling.
"Some people say that you are a fake queen, but in fact you are the queen's sister, Isabella." Grand Duke Qiangwei said without hesitation.
As soon as this remark came out, Isabella's expression obviously became a little unnatural, but she quickly disappeared and regained her composure.
However, the four Thorn Knights below showed strange expressions, wondering where did this rumor come from?
Isabella looked down at the Duke of Rose, feeling uneasy in her heart, and felt that the rumor was not groundless.
"Why do you believe such rumors? It's simply slander!"
"Your Majesty, calm down, I'm just skeptical. Although it's hard for me to believe it, these words were all learned by your daughter, His Highness Michelle." Duke Rose moved Michelle out, and continued, "Michelle His Highness Xie Er said that the previous king gave you and Isabella two relics, but the name behind your relic is not Elizabeth, but Isabella, which is indeed very confusing."
The four thorn knights below looked weird, but they didn't dare to discuss in private, but looked at Isabella.
"Hahaha, it's interesting. Michelle is currently in a rebellious period. Because the matter of imprisoning Masefield had a disagreement with me before, so she is still quarreling, and it is understandable to say some inexplicable things." Isabella He avoided it very cleverly, using Michelle as a child as an excuse to let the matter pass.
"Then how do you explain the pendant given to you by the former king?" Duke Rose asked.
"After my sister died, I exchanged my pendant with her pendant in memory of her. Is it doubtful?" Isabella said with a smile, but she was a little panicked inside.
Duke Rose's expression became serious, thinking that Michelle was talking nonsense, right?
How could Queen Elizabeth be fake?It's so abnormal.
This is related to the inheritance of the empire, how could such a mistake occur? !
But just to be on the safe side, let's keep asking.
The Duke of Rose is still a cautious person, and he did not trust either Isabella or Michelle.
"So that's the case. It seems that His Highness Michelle is really naughty. Talking nonsense like this will cause trouble to people."
The faces of the four Thorn Knights softened slightly, and they felt that everything was a misunderstanding caused by the little princess, and it was no big deal.
"Yeah, how can a child's words be trusted, and they are all angry words. I am the orthodox of the empire. There is no need to doubt this." Isabella said calmly, seemingly not caring about it .
"Your Majesty is right. I will send His Highness Michelle back later. Please remember to teach her not to say anything suspicious." Duke Rose is now in a state of uncertainty.
"Okay, send Michelle back, I have a lot to say to her now." Isabella's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness, and she didn't intend to let Michelle go.
"I heard that His Royal Highness Michelle is studying at a seminary. Do you still remember whose suggestion this was?" Duke Rose asked tentatively.
"Eh!?" Isabella was obviously taken aback, and suddenly felt a little bit surprised, "Didn't Michelle ask for it?"
Duke Rose frowned slightly, thinking that it was my own suggestion to suggest Michelle go to the seminary. The queen didn't even know such a simple answer! ?
"Who will always remember that minister's youngest daughter?"
Isabella's expression flashed with doubts, and she showed an embarrassed smile, "It's been a long time, and I don't remember these things very clearly."
Duke Rose's face darkened, and he felt more and more weird. The name of the youngest daughter Cecilia was obtained by Elizabeth herself, and as Michelle's classmate, the queen didn't even remember the name of the youngest daughter!And I haven't heard that the Queen has symptoms of amnesia. Why is her memory so bad?
"Then His Majesty should remember the last time he went to Wales?"
Isabella already felt the danger, the Duke of Rose was not asking questions at all, but probing.
She is not Elizabeth, and the memory of Duke Rose does not exist, so it is difficult to answer.
Isabella couldn't help but start to panic, so she pretended to be tired and said lightly.
"That's enough. I'm tired. I don't want to answer these boring questions for the time being. You go back first. Tomorrow, you must go to the north of England and suppress the rebellion of the Ofrey family."
"Okay, then I will take my leave first, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
Duke Rose slightly bowed and saluted, then turned and left, walking towards the outside of the hall.
It's so strange, the queen seems to be ignorant of the past?
They were all obvious and easy-to-understand questions, yet they couldn't answer any of them.
It seems that Michelle's suspicion is not wrong, the current Queen Elizabeth has a problem...
