Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 659: If the treasure is removed, Whitehill will face the calamity of national extinction...
They knelt at Melody Parker’s feet, pleading with a change of address: "King, our new king, you can’t act on impulse and ignore the entire Whitehill!"
Melody Parker’s cold and sinister eyes flashed with a hint of complacency.
She did not put the crown back on, but looked at the crowd and said, "As a daughter, I could not protect my father’s peace after death. As a king, I could not make my ministers convinced. What use is such a king to you? To stay here and be a puppet?"
Upon hearing Melody Parker’s words, the kneeling aristocrats and ministers immediately expressed their loyalty, saying: "We pledge allegiance to the new king, and we shall only follow the new king’s command!"
Melody Parker finally was satisfied and put on the crown, sitting back on the throne.
She looked at the crowd and kindly said, "You may rise."
Once everyone stood up, Melody Parker, with the dignity of a nation’s king, slowly said, "From today on, there shall be no more talk of opening the coffin for investigation, or death is the penalty!"
Saying this, she cast a killing glance at Ralph Carter, standing below, mercifully saying, "Ralph Carter, considering your loyalty to my father for over twenty years, I can spare you from the death penalty this time. However, while the death penalty can be spared, a living punishment is unavoidable!"
With that, Melody Parker pronounced, "Ralph Carter, for spreading rumors and disrupting the court, you shall be taken out and flogged fifty times!"
Just as Melody Parker’s voice fell, a voice from Kuhn, not loud but clear enough for the entire court to hear, spoke up again, "Princess, fifty lashes are no different from ending Ralph Carter’s life!"
"Even though we are still a traditional monarchy, there is no saying of flogging! Please, Princess, show your wisdom!"
Without waiting for Melody Parker to speak, Kuhn continued, "Even if Ralph Carter has committed great disrespect, consider his loyalty to the king, the princess cannot impose such a severe punishment on him!"
Melody Parker was furious.
She had already conceded a step, yet this person was still unwilling to relent.
Moreover, he was still calling her ’Princess’—completely oblivious!
Melody Parker looked at Kuhn, eyes dark as storms brewing.
She wanted to kill the frail young man before her, yet his gaze inexplicably filled her with fear.
Melody Parker turned her head, refusing to meet Kuhn’s eyes, coldly speaking, "Then what do you suggest? Just let him defy orders and spread rumors?"
"No." Kuhn’s cold eyes met Melody Parker’s, slowly speaking, "The princess can simply banish him from the palace!"
Melody Parker was taken aback, not expecting Kuhn to say this.
However, since he had already done so, she couldn’t keep holding onto Ralph Carter.
Melody Parker looked at the crowd and commanded, "From today, banish Ralph Carter from Whitehill, never allowing him to set foot in Whitehill again."
Ralph Carter looked at Melody Parker, with a mocking smile on his lips.
Good, just fear that you won’t drive him away; he intended to find the real princess of Whitehill.
The matter regarding Ralph Carter concluded.
The matters of state continued.
Melody Parker looked at the gentle young man standing below, suddenly ordering, "Kuhn, Whitehill has changed rulers. I order you to open the royal tomb and retrieve the treasure within three days!"
With this, the ministers in the court were shocked once more.
They hadn’t expected their princess, no, their new king, to demand the royal tomb be opened and the treasure taken.
But given the previous occurrence, they dared not speak, instead directing their gaze at Kuhn, to see how he, responsible for guarding the royal tomb, would respond.
Just as the ministers’ eyes fell on Kuhn, he did not disappoint as he spoke.
His gaze coldly met Melody Parker’s, his voice carrying a chilling frost as he spoke, "The treasure is a secret protected by generations of Whitehill, why does the princess wish to retrieve it now?"
Then, not waiting for Melody Parker to speak, Kuhn continued coldly, "Do you know that once the treasure is taken out, Whitehill will face the disaster of national extinction... Those greedy for the treasure will seize the opportunity, invading Whitehill continuously, until Whitehill is destroyed or taken over!"
Having said all this, Kuhn’s cold eyes again met Melody Parker’s as he righteously declared, "Princess, do you realize that your order is putting Kuhn in a position of disloyalty and injustice!"
Melody Parker fiercely glared at Kuhn, sternly speaking, "Since I order you to open the treasure, I naturally have my considerations! Here, I’m the monarch, it’s not up to you to say no!"
Hearing Melody Parker’s words, a smile suddenly appeared on Kuhn’s gentle face.
His smile was beautiful, like a handsome young man stepping out of a painting.
However beautiful it may be, it still sent chills down one’s spine.
He looked at Melody Parker, gently speaking, "Princess, since you are decided, then the treasure shall be taken."
Upon hearing this, Melody Parker finally felt relieved...
Inside Melody Parker’s chamber.
Having bathed and emerged from the bathroom, Adrian Davies immediately dialed Locke’s number.
As soon as the call connected, Adrian Davies coldly inquired, "Any movement from R Country? What are Bella Sutton and Joseph Sutton doing?"
"Sir, there are no anomalies from R Country. According to our sources, Bella Sutton and Joseph Sutton are spending their days either riding horses or sightseeing..." Locke truthfully reported the intel from R Country.
Adrian Davies’s deep eyes narrowed slightly.
Joseph Sutton is the leader of the Black Hand Gang, a man arrogant and rampant, used to committing atrocities, while Bella Sutton is a woman who never lets grudges go and never gives up until she achieves her goal.
How could these two, after what happened to Bella Sutton in River City, leisurely go sightseeing with no action!
Since it’s absolutely impossible, these two...
Suddenly, Adrian Davies thought of the only possible explanation: these two are impostors!
Adrian Davies’s deep eyes stormed, filled with menacing intent, ordering Locke on the other end of the phone coldly, "Immediately and secretly have someone test both abilities, kill them if necessary!"
"Yes, sir!" Locke obeyed the order.
At the same time as a false Melody Parker appeared and took command of Whitehill’s court by impersonating Melody Parker, a terrorist attack occurred at Whitehill’s borders.
And the location of these frequent attacks was exactly where Virgil Davies previously manufactured robots and trained death warriors.
This area was originally a no-man’s-land and the biggest trump card stored by Virgil Davies.
Despite Virgil Davies’s weapon arsenal being destroyed by Adrian Davies and Mark, this ownerless land did not fall silent, making it an ideal place for dark forces to take root.
