Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1019

However, Queen Magdalene was merely part of the royal harem. She might have been in a high position, but she did not have real power. Considering the pros and cons of the situation, she wouldn't protect foreigners.

"Citizens?" Miley scoffed. "The person my sister caught is not from Tsulu. He is from our country. However, my country has no grounds for extradition from your country. Therefore, the cops couldn't bring this despicable murderer to custody.

"Based on what I know, those killed at gunpoint were no saints either. They were vicious people who had blood on their hands. They settled themselves in Shelland Island with the backing of arms dealers. They did nothing but evil there.

"Your police force didn't capture or charge them for their crimes. In turn, you gave them immunity. Haha! Mr. Brock, you have such galls. You went as far as to collude with the government, disregarding the law of the land and failing to distinguish wrong from right. And all of these happened right under Queen Magdalene's nose.”

Miguel was silenced from the comeback.

Tsulu was no stranger to such dirty tricks. However, he still felt fearful as someone aired his dirty laundry so openly.

The tension in the atmosphere was palpable and suffocating.

Queen Magdalene lowered her gaze and thought for a long while. Then, she spoke softly, "Mr. Brock, kneel before Madam President's family and apologize. This is an order. Then, do what it takes to assist them and bring the murderer back to their country.”

Alyssa's eyes flickered with a certain emotion as Queen Magdalene spoke. It seemed as though she had a glimpse into Miley's thoughts when their eyes locked, and a longstanding burden was finally lifted.

"Haha, Queen Magdalene is such a reliable person.”

Satisfied, Landon rubbed his chin. "Queen Magdalene is definitely Ms. Taylor's best friend. She did what she could as her friend."

"Please, don't speak of my sister like she is older than she’s supposed to be. She is one year younger than you. Do you think she is that old?" Axel shot him down once again.

Axel wasn't sure why he disliked Landon. He saw Landon as nothing more than a foolish mule. Landon clenched his teeth so hard that they ached. "Referring to her as “Ms. Taylor’ is my way of showing respect. What would you know?"

Upon hearing what Queen Magdalene said, Jeffrey reacted like an ant on a hot pan, his face turning as red as a tomato.

"Queen Magdalene, I may be the commanding chief of the police force, but I'm only following orders."

Miguel's face paled from anger. He refused to kneel. "Given your position, Queen Magdalene, it's best you don't interfere with such trivial matters. I think you should ask the secretary to bring this up to the king and let him decide.”

"Following orders? By whom?" Queen Magdalene quirked a brow.

Miguel was rendered speechless.

In this tense moment, a voice said, "Queen Magdalene.”

Everyone turned toward the voice. A man dressed in Tsulu's royal clothing walked over and paid Queen Magdalene his respects.

"And this is ..." Alyssa blinked her eyes curiously.

"He is the chief secretary to Tsulu's king. Not only does he manage the king's daily schedule, he is by the king's side 24/7. He also relays the king's orders. He may not be the highest-ranking person, but he has quite a lot of power," Miley whispered in Alyssa's ear.

"I got it. The eunuchs by the king's side are mid-rank.”

"Shush ..." Miley placed her index finger on her lips. Alyssa cheekily showed her tongue

"Are you here with a decree from the king?" Queen Magdalene laughed lightly as she asked.

"Yes, Queen Magdalene,” the chief secretary answered respectfully.”

Miguel's eyes swirled as a sinister smile appeared on his face.

He believed the king was not as ignorant as Queen Magdalene to break the balance the Tsulu government had established for centuries.

The chief secretary smiled ambiguously. Then, he said sternly. "Now, let me pass the king's decree.” As he spoke, everyone from Tsulu got on one knee. They lowered their heads, ready to receive the decree.

However, Alyssa and the rest remained standing. Foreigners did not need to do the same.
