Unexpectedly, Jiang An also received an invitation. She looked at the invitation in her hand. “This is really rare. To invite a foreigner like me to witness such a thing, are you trying to show off or scare me?”

Jiang An knew very well what would happen tomorrow. She had pressed on step by step to make things come to this.

Only in desperate situations would these people fight to the death. Then Sophie’s chance would come.

Jiang An didn’t want to waste any more time. She hadn’t seen the children in a long time. She had to quickly finish what she was doing here and go home to accompany the children.

Although Zou Bai didn’t ask about Jiang An’s plan, he could guess from her actions that she wanted the Zou family’s secret guards to cooperate with her. If there were any mistakes, they had to make up for it as soon as possible.

He was surprised to find that Jiang An was growing so quickly. From the beginning to the end, he did not have to interfere in this plan. He only had to silently accompany her.

Jiang An was already able to execute a huge plan independently. She was no longer the pitiful little girl who needed protection back then.

Sophie came to Jiang An as soon as she received the notice and asked, “What do you think they mean? Do they want that subst.i.tute to say something again?”

“If I’m not wrong, they want that subst.i.tute to announce the new crown prince.” Jiang An’s tone was very calm.

Sophie’s eyes widened. “The crown prince may not be in the country, but Grandfather never said anything about abolishing his status. They actually want to find a new crown prince. Aren’t they afraid that the public won’t recognize them?”

“Look at what they’ve been doing. Do you think they’ll take the public seriously?”

Jiang An’s question made Sophie fall silent. Their group only knew how to fight for power, and they didn’t care about the lives of the people.

They only felt that everything would be fine with the king’s decree. They did not even think about the opinions of the people.

Looking at Sophie’s angry expression, Jiang An’s tone softened. “Don’t worry. Even if they want to talk nonsense, it’s fine. I’ll get someone to bring the crown prince to the palace tomorrow. They should know who the fake king and the real crown prince are.”

Sophie was relieved to hear Jiang An say that. She was even in the mood to discuss with her what the two of them would wear tomorrow.

Jiang An also had her own experience in matching clothes, but her attention was on Sophie’s clothes. Tomorrow was the day she would become the new queen. She had to wear something that could suppress the situation.

Zou Bai didn’t say anything. He just silently noted down what Jiang An had said. When the time came, he would prepare the clothes for them and send them over.

The next day, all the n.o.bles went to the palace for a banquet. Jiang An hid in a corner with Zou Bai. She found a place where she could see everything that happened clearly.

Some aristocrats who had arrived early recognized Jiang An and wanted to come over to build connections. However, with Zou Bai, the big iceberg, standing in front of them, many people were scared away.

After everyone had arrived, Henry and John appeared. One of them had a worried expression on his face, while the other was very smug. It seemed that the beneficiary of this matter was John.

Princess Annie still did not know what had happened. She had been too busy to sleep recently. Too many people wanted to meet her.

She also arranged for them to meet. In her opinion, it was fine as long as she could obtain more support. As for the size of these forces, it was not important.

Sophie was standing just behind her mother, neatly tailored in a black evening dress with no c.u.mbersome design. The crystals and diamonds on the hem glowed in the light, and with the sparkle of the crown on her head, she looked absolutely like the center of attention.

Jiang An was very satisfied with her outfit. It had taken her a lot of effort to pick out this outfit.

Mary officially appeared with her subst.i.tute. Everyone lowered their heads and bowed. She raised her head as if this bow was directed at her. She was unbelievably proud.

After tonight, she would be the crown prince of this country. She was her father’s eldest daughter, and according to the order of succession, she was the first heir. All the members of the royal family had to bow to her.

The subst.i.tute asked everyone to stand and coughed twice.

Jiang An noticed that his expression was very bad. It seemed that he had also experienced some torture. After all, what he had done today was too shocking.

The Marshal was also a n.o.ble from Country F. He looked at everything in front of him very calmly. These people had really let down the people of the kingdom. The old king was such a loving and virtuous person, but his children had not learned anything.

He raised his gla.s.s to Sophie from a distance, making it clear that the army was definitely behind her, and there was nothing to worry about.

At the same time, the secret guards were transporting the crown prince into the palace. He had never thought that there would be a day when he would climb over the wall and enter.
