CHAPTER 462: CHAPTER 462 SHE, YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO OFFEND EVEN MORE

Theresa’s face was deathly pale as she muttered something incomprehensible.

"No one has wanted to be loyal to the Royal Family since your father’s bloody coup ten years ago. Your father is dead, do you really believe he died of illness? How old was he? Prince Clive, your uncle, is still living well, yet he died."

Xia Huangyu approached step by step, "I’ll tell you, your father committed suicide, he was driven to his death. If he hadn’t died, the Galaxy Empire would have erupted into flames, and it would have instantly fragmented, with the Mecklenburg Family’s decrees never leaving the Capital Star. So he had to pay for his crimes with his life, just like the Old Marshal did. And you’re still living in a dream!"

"You, you, you..." Theresa could no longer articulate a complete sentence.

"What kind of damn princess are you? The scene of you kneeling at Princess Freya’s feet ten years ago, begging her to take you as a companion reader, is still fresh in everyone’s memory. You may have forgotten, but we certainly haven’t."

That remark was truly venomous.

Theresa felt darkness before her eyes and almost fainted.

The corridor was silent enough to hear a pin drop.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The sound of special combat boots walking rose, and everyone turned their heads as if by some agreement, only to see Clive walking past with Jon from the bridge, while the automatic doors in front of them opened, waiting for everyone to disembark from the spacecraft.

Everyone held their breath.

Xia Huangyu somewhat regretted his impulsive action just now. Rebuking Theresa felt satisfying, but he had inadvertently targeted Prince Clive at the same time.

His and Lin Fu’s lives were in his hands!

Clive had heard Xia Huangyu’s words from afar and only noticed Lin Fu’s hair color when he got closer, his expression becoming subtly odd.

Jon, who was with him, also noticed and showed a look that seemed to say "as expected."

"Grandfather." As soon as Theresa saw Clive, she ran to him as if she had seen her savior, with teary eyes, she said, "Grandfather, Xia Huangyu has committed great treason, he’s a traitor."

A label of treason was slammed down, which for nobles, was a heinous crime.

Xia Huangyu’s complexion changed.

But if one were to seriously pursue the matter, his words just now were indeed tantamount to great treason, and labeling them as traitorous was not wrong.

Who knew Clive would simply cast a cold glance at Theresa and ask indifferently, "By what authority do you accuse him of treason?"

"I am the Empire Princess."

"You are not," Clive shook his head, his gaze ice-cold, "Without supporters, away from the Capital Star, you are nothing. Your brother hasn’t even bothered to check where you’ve gone, not even once."

Those words were too cruel, even crueler than what Xia Huangyu had just said, making Theresa nearly lose her footing.

Clive seemed to think that wasn’t enough, pointing at Xia Huangyu, he said, "His grandfather is not only the Guardian Duke but now also the Imperial Marshal, truly second only to one and above millions. Even the newly crowned Hughes must show him some respect."

Then, pointing at Lin Fu, his eyes complex, he added, "Her, you can’t afford to offend even more."

In a hysterical scream, Theresa yelled, "Isn’t she just relying on a man? Without Fu Xing, she’s nothing!"

"Do you still think she’s relying on Fu Xing?" Clive took a step forward, gently lifting Lin Fu’s long hair, taunting, "Do you see? Her hair color is purer than yours. How can you still not recognize her true identity?"

Xia Huangyu looked up in shock at Lin Fu.

"What... what do you mean?" Panic flashed across Theresa’s face, but deep down she was still unwilling to believe it. She couldn’t stop herself from retreating a few steps. "You’re joking, right? You’re lying to me, aren’t you?"
