Chapter 700: Chased Away

Henry viciously belittled Anne. He could finally see that he had no chance of becoming king. Then no one would have an easy time.
Seeing his smug expression, the crown prince said, “You’ve also done many shameful things. Didn’t you want to send someone to kill me previously?”
Henry broke out in a cold sweat when he heard that. He had yet to make a move. How did his brother know?
Annie didn’t bother to cry or plead. She hadn’t expected Henry to go this far. He was the blood brother from the same mother, yet he could bring himself to do it.
“Big Brother, that was John’s idea. Originally, I was against it with all my might. It must have been my subordinates who made the decision,” Henry explained in a panic.
William also said, “Yes, my father would not do that. Did you hear wrongly?”
“You know very well whether you did or not.” The crown prince did not want to be entangled with them anymore.
In any case, these people had plenty of excuses. There was no way to talk it out, so they could just deal with them all.
“From now on, you are no longer members of the royal family. You can take the last royal allowance and live your own lives.”
This was the last thing the crown prince could do for Sophie. If he left them behind, there would be endless trouble. These people all had their own power. It would not be good if they wanted to attack Sophie one day.
Moreover, Sophie ultimately wanted to overthrow the royal family. It would be a huge problem if too many members of the royal family remained.
Now, he could be the villain and expel his younger siblings and their children from the royal family.
‘I can’t leave. I’m the princess of this country!’ Annie shouted.
Henry begged, “Brother, I’ve always been very respectful to you. You can’t treat me like this just because of what you heard.”
William was stunned. If his father was no longer a member of the royal family, he would not be a prince.
Annie turned to Sophie and begged, “Are you going to watch your mother get kicked out? I’m your biological mother. Are you proud that I’m no longer a member of the royal family?”
Sophie was unmoved. In her opinion, it was good that her mother had left the royal family. After all, one day she would announce the dissolution of the royal family.
At that time, she would definitely not be able to accept this change. She might as well live the life of a commoner now. When that day came, she would be able to accept it quietly.
Seeing that her pleas were useless, Annie stood up and said, “Since you’re so heartless, don’t blame me.”
After saying that, she picked up her phone and was about to make a call. After all, she had her own power. If she made a fuss, it would be enough to make the country uneasy.
“Mom, I advise you not to call anyone. These people already know that Uncle is back, so they won’t support you anymore. It’s useless even if you give an order. Besides, with the army around, they won’t be able to cause any trouble.”
“The army? You actually have the support of the army?” Annie finally realized that the Marshal had been standing behind her daughter.
“Her Majesty will be a benevolent monarch who will lead Country F to prosperity,” the Marshal said with his head lowered.
From the way he addressed her, it was obvious that he had already taken Sophie as his master.
Annie knew that it was too late. In the face of absolute force, any method was useless.
William suddenly understood something. “Actually, Jiang An has supported you from the beginning to the end. She only pretended to waver to confuse us and make my father and Uncle John fight among themselves, right?”
Thinking of what had happened during this period of time, William realized that they had been circling around Jiang An and had never thought about what to do with the army. It seemed that they would only win if they obtained Jiang An’s support.
Jiang An, on the other hand, acted like she didn’t know who to choose. She seemed to have a good impression of both sides. Under such circumstances, they naturally wanted to work harder, so they didn’t have the mood to care about anything else.
This gave Sophie time to take advantage of the situation and win over the army.
At this point, William still did not reflect on his actions. He felt that he had only fallen into someone else’s trap. He did not expect Sophie to have the support of the army because of her charisma.
Sophie lowered her eyes slightly and looked at him. “An’an came to France to help me ascend the throne because she knew that if one of you became king, it would be a disaster for Country F.”
William suddenly laughed. “I knew it. I knew I didn’t really lose to you. If it weren’t for Jiang An, things wouldn’t have turned out like this!”
Sophie looked at him as if he were a joke. She wouldn’t explain anything to people like him. They wouldn’t understand.
“Take them away,” Sophie said.
The Marshal waved his hand and got someone to drag them away. The crown prince said as if a burden had been lifted from his shoulders, “When your coronation ceremony is over, I can go back to farming in peace.”
