Chapter 222 Crown Prince
Scarlett sat down in the restaurant and found that everyone was unusually quiet. They glanced at her quickly, then quickly lowered their heads, looking weird, like a guilty thief.
She glanced at them one by one, and finally fixed her eyes on Holst.
Holst was also looking at her, his smoky grey eyes calm and natural, with a faint smile radiating from them, "Congratulations, Your Highness, on your promotion.
Hearing this.
Brian and Ashley's heads were about to droop under the table.
Riley also avoided his gaze a little.
Scarlett thought about it calmly and suddenly understood.
As a man, what he fears most is that he is not good enough, and what he fears most is that others are better than him.
After they slept together, she didn't get promoted.
As soon as Dzeko went to bed with her, she was promoted two levels in an instant.
Feeling inferior.
It would be strange if I didn't feel guilty.
It’s a good thing that he’s Dzeko, he doesn’t talk much.
If it was Chi Ye, everyone in the villa would probably come out to congratulate her from the moment she got promoted.
Thinking of this, Scarlett smiled and looked towards Chiye.
Chi Ye was originally looking at her, but when she looked over, he immediately turned his head away.
Scarlett glanced at Mo Ting again.
Mo Ting also avoided looking at her.
These two people did not help her upgrade her mental power.
The same guilty and inferior feeling.
Only Holst and Sevilla were upgraded on the day they slept together.
Scarlett immediately looked at Sylvia with a smile.
Sylvia met her gaze without dodging, and opened her pink lips, "Scarlett..."
"Your Highness has worked hard all night. Let's eat first." Holst picked up a piece of her favorite sweet and sour pork for Scarlett with chopsticks.
Scarlett looked at the sweet and sour pork tenderloin, which was evenly coated with a layer of sugar and looked crystal clear. Her appetite was aroused and she stuffed it into her mouth. "Delicious."
Scarlett was really hungry and couldn't stop eating once she started. The table was full of her favorite dishes. She couldn't even look at them all, let alone eat them.
Scarlett ate three bowls of rice in a row and finished them all.
After dinner, everyone sat in the conference room to discuss strategies for the next round of competition.
When talking about strategy, everyone started talking a lot, one after another, and Scarlett had no chance to get a word in.
I could only sit by and watch with Sevilla.
She took out a handful of melon seeds from somewhere and gave half to Sevilla, who ate the seeds while listening.
Be an outsider and be content.
Scarlett is now SS level, so there is no need to discuss it, just do it.
SS-level females are the only ones left in the empire. If it is just a comparison of mental strength, SSS-level males may not be their opponents.
But Scarlett saw that they were very excited and everyone was talking enthusiastically, so she didn't stop them. She just watched quietly, occasionally casting an inquiring look.
There was a half-second silence, and then the discussion got even louder.
Scarlett knew.
They are hiding something from themselves.
When the discussion was over, everyone was tired and the voices gradually died down. Scarlett raised the teapot and poured a cup of tea for each of them. She smiled with her eyes curved and said, "Are you done? Now it's my turn, right?"
Everyone was stunned, their brows slightly furrowed, and no one spoke.
Scarlett didn't care and pointed out directly, "Sevilla, tell me, what happened?"
Sylvia raised her head, clenched the teacup in her hand, her blue eyes flickering, and she hesitated and said, "Scarlett, yes, yes..."
He was a little nervous and a little scared, not knowing whether he should say this.
He couldn't lie to Scarlett, but Riley said that Scarlett had just upgraded and her mental strength was unstable. If she knew about this, it would definitely damage her spiritual world.
Once a female's spiritual world is damaged, no medicine can cure it.
He couldn't lie to Scarlett, and he couldn't let her get hurt. Caught in a dilemma, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was clear and cold.
Tyron looked at the stunned expressions of the crowd and the fact that there was no danger at all. He was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at Scarlett. "Wait a moment, he will be back soon."
He knew what Sylvia knew, and he didn't want to lie to Scarlett.
With a blink of an eye, Sevilla was back.
Sevilla: “…”
Sylvia wanted to close her eyes and escape, but she suddenly heard Scarlett say, "Sylvia, if you leave again, I won't want you anymore."
Saiweiya was so frightened that all his scales ran out and stood up high, "I tell you, I tell you! It's your Majesty! Your Majesty is seriously injured!"
It was too late for everyone to stop it.
When Scarlett heard that it was about Catherine, her expression paused, and then she felt a little panicked.
She still remembered what Sack said in that glacial world and what happened to "her".
Her face was horrified, but her voice grew calmer. "What's going on? If you lie to me, I'll divorce you all!"
There's nothing to hide now.
It's just that this matter needs to be expressed in a different way.
Riley took the responsibility and explained to Scarlett, "Your Highness, His Majesty has suddenly fallen ill and is in a coma. He has been sent to the Royal Infirmary for treatment and has not yet woken up."
"When did it happen?" Scarlett asked quickly.
Dzeko said, "Scarlett, time here is different from time outside. We just received the news and don't know exactly when His Majesty fell into a coma."
Scarlett understood this.
The dimensions of the planets in the resource competition are different, so there are levels that span time and space.
She nodded, calmed herself down, and continued to ask, "How did the news get in?"
Holsko pulled a thumb-sized roll out of his pocket and handed it to Scarlett.
Scarlett unscrewed it and saw a small note inside.
She unfolded the paper.
[Your Majesty has suddenly fallen ill, suffered severe mental damage, and has been in a coma for a long time. I hope Your Majesty returns safely and quickly.]
"This is not the Queen Mother's handwriting." Scarlett asserted after looking at the words.
She had seen Catherine's handwriting, which was restrained and thoughtful, without being ostentatious.
She had also seen Katrina's handwriting.
But she didn't say it.
She wanted to hear what they had to say.
Mo Ting held her hand, looked at the note in her hand, and said, "Your Majesty is currently unconscious. This note was not written by Your Majesty. It was written by Kalma, a civil servant who served Your Majesty."
Scarlett nodded, but she was a little confused: "Why was the note passed in at this time?"
"Your Highness, His Majesty wishes you to be prepared," Riley said.
Scarlett was a little stunned: "What preparations?"
"The throne."
Mo Ting said succinctly, "Your Majesty has not appointed a crown prince. If she encounters misfortune, you and Princess Sofia will have a dispute."
Although Sofia was a fake princess, she did not abolish her title and remained the eldest princess.
Moreover, Sophia has been trained as an heir over the years and has infiltrated the royal court for a long time. Even if she is not a real princess, as long as Catherine does not appoint a crown prince, she can launch a coup and seize the throne.
When Scarlett heard this, her heart was a little disturbed, and she couldn't tell whether she was sad or happy.
If she said she had no ambition for the throne, that would be a lie. Who doesn't want to be the boss?
But since the emperor owns the world, he must naturally be responsible for it.
Can she afford it?
Furthermore.
Shouldn't Sophia be the next emperor?
How can she fight?
