Chapter 766: Chapter 302 Everyone Has Strengths, Except for the Franks

Buckingham Palace.

The newly appointed Royal Guard Commander, Baron Kimo, handed a document to Queen Sophia.

After declaring war on Prussia, while Windsor’s slogans resounded powerfully, their actual actions were insufficient; it was only a roar when facing injustice, followed by continuing forward as if nothing happened.

On the surface, Windsor remained detached as always, continuing their tradition of inaction.

In the shadows, Queen Sophia consolidated power scattered in the hands of the Tulip Family by declaring war externally.

She acted swiftly and decisively, targeting the military-political system that surrounded the Royal Family, such as the Royal Guard, subtly demoting members of the Tulip Family, distancing these spies from Buckingham Palace, and then inserting the elite backbone covertly nurtured by the Royal Family.

Such as the mysteriously originated Baron Kimo, and the two parachuted Magic Department Vice Ministers, Queen Sophia wielded the pruning shears in her own garden, warning the arbitrarily growing flora.

The growth of plants cannot be left to nature; while sunlight is desirable, the scissors are in the hands of the owner. If you grow wildly against the owner’s wishes, the scissors will inevitably come down on you.

Clip!

Your head is gone!

Those who often rebel know that while the owner’s scissors are quick and ruthless, the complex entanglements of old roots are not so easily dealt with; it’s not just a matter of cutting as the owner pleases.

A skillful gardener adapts their pruning technique according to the particular species and its growth condition, taking different approaches for different situations.

Only then can the bonsai be considered an art form, fetching a high price, and bringing the greatest profit value to the owner.

If one prunes rashly, it will not only fail to fetch a good price, but the scissors might even break.

Clip!

Your scissors are now notched!

As Austin put it, the Tulip Family outwardly submitted to the Queen’s butcher knife but struck back in the shadows, sticking to the narrative of loyalty and patriotism.

In these days, Sophia received quite a few documents; today’s came from a branch of the Randao Family, the Bancer Lineage.

The document exaggeratedly described Austin’s arrogance and ambition, lamenting his wolfish ambitions, including but not limited to the Randao Family’s alliance with the Moonlight Church and deliberately creating scandals for the Royal Family, and so on.

Summarizing the document, Austin disrespected the Monarch, the Randao Family’s power was immense, and although Bancer had a heart full of sincere patriotism, they feared they were unable to complete the tasks given by the Queen due to lack of troops and provisions.

Sophia disappointedly set the document aside, seeing Baron Kimo beside her, also known as the incognito Prince Douglas, pick up the document and browsed through it, her brow slightly furrowed, wanting to stop him.

The document mentioned rumors of her and Austin, and she thought it better not to let her husband see it; although the innocent are clear of accusation, avoiding suspicion is never wrong, especially because...

Her husband and ex-boyfriend did bear some resemblance to each other, and though he said nothing, she knew it troubled him.

In the end, Sophia did not stop him; deliberately avoiding it seemed more like covering up the truth, which would only create misunderstandings and solve nothing.

Moreover, the little tricks to suppress the Tulip Family, such as distancing the Bancer family from Lundan, had always been silently controlled by Douglas. If Douglas wanted to know the contents of the document, he could directly ask Bancer.

By then, Bancer’s exaggerations would only be more absurd than the document itself.

"The Randao Family and the Moonlight Church..."

Douglas put down the document, his brow furrowed as he looked at Sophia, "Your Majesty, do you know about this?"

"It’s no secret, the upper echelons of the Magic Department are all somewhat aware, but I hadn’t expected Wayne to perform so exceptionally," Sophia replied, slightly shaking her head.

Wayne, as the Brand Ambassador of the Magic Department, used his good looks to get close to the High Priest of the Moonlight Church, Philomena, following Vice Minister Ivette’s idea, which Sophia approved before it was officially executed.

The intention was to appease Philomena. However, after the traitor Ob was exposed, the Magic Department did not insist on Wayne to continue the scheme.

Nobody expected that he would actually win over Philomena.

"One can only say that plans can’t keep up with changes. At that time, the Randao Family was very loyal, and handing over the task to Wayne, I was very reassured..."

Sophia smiled, "Of course, I still trust the Randao Family now, and Austin has given me a reason to win him over, hasn’t he?"

"Are you sure this isn’t a threat?" Douglas said, annoyed.

My dear Prince, your prejudice against Austin somewhat involves personal grievances.

Sophia knew this, but did not highlight the conflict, which would only worsen it, leading to irreparable consequences. She continued professionally, "I’m aware of the Randao Family’s connections with the Moonlight Church, and not just that, but also their excellent relations with the Naturalism Church. Austin making it public isn’t a threat; it’s a response to me. It’s just that this move is rather bold, not in line with his usual style."

You know him so well!

Douglas was irritated internally.

It’s understandable. Anyone who regularly hears about his wife’s unresolved past with her ex-boyfriend would want to show the ex a thing or two, especially when you can’t publicly clear things up.

Yet you can’t, for Windsor belongs to the Queen, and Douglas is but a Prince, not the King.

As for the spouse of the Queen’s right of succession, it might exist, or it might not, depending on the Queen’s disposition.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Austin has responded to me, and now it’s my turn," Sophia mused. "I’m quite certain that this trump card doesn’t suit Austin’s style of conduct, it’s too blunt and forceful. It’s more likely to represent Wayne’s loyalty as the next head of the Randao Family..."
