Boris Abel, the leader of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce, how did he appear at the queen’s birthday dinner?

Still in this manner…

As the largest chamber of commerce in the Anas Empire, the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce has connections with many nobles.

It’s rumored that Kent Abel, the previous leader of the commerce, had a bad relationship with the Laurie family.

After all, Darnell Laurie served as the finance minister of the empire, and the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce took charge of the empire’s money. So conflicts and contradictions with the finance minister in charge of the empire’s property couldn’t be avoided.

It’s normal for the two sides to be hostile with each other.

The nobles have obviously become accustomed to hearing the confrontation between the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce and the chancellor of the exchequer from time to time. Who wins and who loses, and who pits who…

However, what’s going on now?!

As the chancellor of the empire, why would Darnell Laurie respectfully walk behind the leader of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce?

Some people were puzzled, but most people couldn’t understand why.

Boris doesn’t personally deal with the various affairs of the commerce. Most of the unimportant cooperation is managed by Vincent, the chief manager.

He will only come forward to solve a problem when it’s related to whether the business of the Nagabi will proceed smoothly or will be affected.

Hence, there are only a handful of people in the empire who have seen Boris with their own eyes.

Therefore, facing the scene of Boris and Darnell walking into the banquet hall one after another, most of the nobles maintained a dazed and puzzled look.

Among them is King Paul.

On the contrary, Mrs. Joana’s face was a little surprised and frightened, and her extreme pallor reappeared again.

The surroundings are no longer under Paul’s control.

The king’s angry face began to show an uneasy look. His throat seemed to be torn as he asked harshly, “What the hell do you want to do?!”

Minina: “Are you old enough to forget what I just said? Shall I remind you again?”

She gave alms, “After tonight, you will no longer be the king of the Anas Empire.”

“You don’t deserve to sit on the throne anymore. Get off! Paul.”

“No, you can’t!” 

The king looked as if he couldn’t bear it. He gasped, like a forced, irritable old lion.

He roared, “No one can be worthy of the throne of the empire except me! Only me!”

When Paul once again yelled for the knights to drag Minina down, there was still no response. By this time, Boris had already arrived in front of him.

Boris looked back at him with a profoundly indifferent expression where Queen Minina gave way. His green eyes seemed as cold as the darkest part at the bottom of the lake.

This expression made Paul even more annoyed. He directly shouted, “Get out of the way! Who are you?!”

Boris slowly took off his brown leather gloves and handed them to Darnell behind him. The latter accepted it respectfully, even the queen didn’t show any opinions.

This made Paul couldn’t help but focus on Boris and looked at him carefully.

Xia Zuoyi sensitively perceives something.

He leaned back against the Pope’s chest and asked in a low voice, “Boris… Does he have anything to do with the royal family of the empire?”

Segalot: “What do you think it will be?”

Xia Zuoyi: “…The revenge of the fallen prince?” 

Segalot glanced at him strangely.

Xia Zuoyi opened his mouth in surprise. With a little stutter, he said, “N-no way… Did I guess that right?!”

He just talked casually.

After all, TV dramas are staged like this. The plot twists and turns are interesting. But he didn’t expect that he really experienced one in real life?

Segalot raised the corners of his lips, touched the soft hair on his head, and generously praised, “Smart boy.”

No, I’m ashamed to receive your praise.

Xia Zuoyi couldn’t believe it and almost wanted to cover his face to block his out-of-control expression—is Boris really the prince of the empire?!

According to this setting, if he continues to guess… Is he the son of the late first prince Lawrence Cavendish?!

He couldn’t be the illegitimate son of King Paul…

After all, although the two of them are both blond and blue-eyed, there are also many people in the Anas Empire with those characteristics. Darnell in front is blond, which is not unusual.

As for the green eyes. This is not very common. It mostly appears in the royal family, which became a standard.

Xia Zuoyi must also admit that with those people who have the same eye color, Boris deserves to be the best looking.

He watched what would happen next.

Boris smiled when facing Paul’s gaze, although it was obvious that his smile didn’t reach the bottom of his eyes.

He gave the answer, “Just a little bit more, uncle, and you might have poisoned me to death.”

“But unfortunately, I’m still alive and come back to you for revenge.”

He didn’t lower his voice when he said this. It resounded throughout the hall without warning, and caused everyone who didn’t know the truth to take a breath without fail.

There was a sudden uproar.

They whispered in shock and looked at Boris and King Paul with a look of uncertainty.

And Mrs. Joana’s face was even paler. Her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but temporarily lost her voice.

Paul took a step back, shocked by the meaning of this sentence. He looked at Boris in disbelief, “No, it’s impossible! You don’t look like Lawrence at all!”

He and Lawrence are brothers, with seven points of similarity.

Boris: “I’m grateful for that.”

“If I look very similar to my father, I won’t risk staying in the empire for many years. As for who I look like, why don’t you ask Mrs. Joana next to you?”

“What do you think? Mother.”

Joana’s body shook unsteadily. Her lips moved a few times, but she couldn’t utter a word.

Upon seeing this, Boris snorted, “Why don’t I help you?”

“I look like your father, my grandfather.”

“The poor old man didn’t see his most beloved daughter until he died.”

“Because you can’t abandon the luxurious imperial life, the favorable environment, the wealth in your hand, and the man who gave it all to you…” 

The king looked at Joana and wanted her to refute, but Joana’s pale and frightened face fully explained everything.

What Boris said isn’t wrong.

He is indeed Archibald Cavendish, the son of the first prince Lawrence and Joana.

—After the death of his father, he “died accidentally” when he’s only eight years old.

The nobles couldn’t help but look at Boris, trying to find a bit of Lawrence’s shadow on his face.

Especially the older generation of the aristocrats. They even took a few steps forward to stare—although it isn’t obvious, the more they look, the more similar the outline…

Boris looked at Joana’s face mockingly, and hatred finally appeared in his eyes, “I really don’t understand you.”

“For so many years, you don’t know how much I want to rush directly to you to question you—you have the opportunity to become the queen of the empire, but you’re willing to be seduced by this man and help him kill your husband and my father!”

“You’re even more indifferent and unperturbed about his attempt to poison your only son at the time!”

“How on earth did you do it?! Has your heart been kissed by the devil?!”

Joana was forced back by his angry words.

She tried to defend herself, “No, it’s not like that… I didn’t know that Your Majesty was going to poison you. How could I…”

Boris: “Of course you didn’t know that Paul wanted to poison me.”

“But you brought me to a man who could poison his own brother. You never thought about whether I would be harmed…”

“When he fed me the poisoned water and threw away my body, why did you still stay with this man?! Why?!” 

There’s no trace of blood on Joana’s face, she was like being strangled by someone. Her mouth opened and closed, like an oxygen-deficient goldfish.

And Tosi was as stiff as a piece of wood.

What’s the truth of the matter?

Joana is a vain woman.

She didn’t love Lawrence, but married him. Afterwards, she was seduced by Paul, listening to his sweet words, she helped him poison Lawrence to death.

Then, Paul poisoned Boris, who’s still young at that time. And in order to prevent future trouble, without telling Joana, he threw his “body” into the slum.

There are dead people in that place every day.

But the God of Creation had blessed him.

Along the way, the bumps of the carriage made Boris spit out a part of the poison, making him regain a little sanity in a daze.

After that, Boris was rescued from the slums and came across Kent Abel, the leader of the commerce who had been helped by Lawrence.

Old Kent Abel took him away.

They traveled to the small country where Joana was born. But at that time Joana’s father, his grandfather, had passed away and the throne was succeeded by a royal family member.

The old Kent Abel didn’t rashly let Boris show up.

After spying for a long time, he decided to take Boris away.

Later, the old Kent found that Boris looked more like his grandfather, so he adopted him after asking Boris for his opinion.

They returned to the empire.

Boris may have had fantasies about his mother Joana at the beginning.

But then he found out the truth—his mother was one of the murderers. It was clear that Paul poisoned him but pretended that nothing happened. She continued to stay with him and gave birth to a son for him.

All this made Boris’ hatred hard to dissipate.

He also finally found out the absurd and ridiculous truth in the past.

This woman was blinded by “love”. After she helped Paul do all the bad things, she found that he couldn’t fulfill the promise he had made to her at the beginning—to make her the queen of the empire.

Because the Holy See will definitely block it.

Because Paul couldn’t give up his marriage with the Laurie family at the time, he eventually took Minina Laurie as his wife.

Joana couldn’t look back. Even if she lost her son, she could only continue to walk forward.

Both of them held each other’s handle in their hands.

…

Boris Abel’s real name is Archibald Cavendish.

He is of royal blood and has the right of first succession.

He wants Paul to pay the due price for his sins and confess to the devil! His mother, as well as the illegitimate child born to Paul, couldn’t escape!

For this reason, Archibald made arrangements for many years, and finally found an opportunity in Xia Zuoyi’s castle—the Pope and the Grand Duke happened to be in the same place.

King Paul wasn’t married to the wife of his deceased brother, and even gave birth to an illegitimate child. This is a great disrespect to the God of Creation. Later, he clashed with the Holy See many times… 

Due to his status as king of the empire, the Holy See is difficult to implement substantive arbitration.

Although Segalot doesn’t take Paul’s love history in his eyes, the dignity of the Holy See cannot be challenged.

After Archibald tentatively tested, prompted, and revealed his intention to cooperate, Segalot participated—subverting the empire is a very interesting thing.

As for Orville, he’s also very interested in splitting the empire and making an independent Archiayoli territory. Desinia is doing very well on his own, isn’t he?

He’s fed up with Paul’s stupidity, conceit, and arrogance.

Therefore, after Segalot, Orville, and Archibald met in Xia Zuoyi’s castle, they secretly reached a preliminary agreement. And this plan to overthrow the empire was finally implemented tonight.

Translator’s Note:

BOOM, mindblown!! That’s a plot twist alright XD. Were you surprised that Boris actually turned out to be a prince? Because I did when I first read this HAHA (we’re just like Xiaxia rn).

Also, hehe, my midterm exams is on 18-19 so I have to disappear for a while XD. I’ll be back by November 22 though, and I hope by that time I already have more chapters in stock.
