The Heiress

Chapter 107

***

Queen Alexa's eyes lit up as she started thinking of a way to kill her husband. Since Mason was so adamant about helping Chaeyoung, then she did not have any other choice but to kill him. Even the mere fact that he was helping that woman's daughter was already enough for Queen Alexa to know that Mason had never even thought of her and her two sons.

She originally thought that Mason, at least, had some love for Carlisle. However, when Chaeyoung came as Long Die, Mason's temperament changed into someone very hateful. He even dared to raise his voice on her.

"I guess we need to make you the King as soon as possible." She interrupted her son.

"So, you mean...?"

"Yes… we need to kill him."

"But mother… that is not possible. If we do that, then the whole Zhou Family will…"

"Not if we pin the murder on Chaeyoung," she said, her eyes full of determination. The Lee Family's reign needed to come to an end. And this was the only thing that she could do after Chaeyoung used their plans against them.

"But if we act now... It will not make any sense." Carlisle said.

"We will act after he announces that Chaeyoung is his successor. If I am right, then he will do that during the next Cabinet meeting." Queen Alexa was actually talking about the meeting between the two families, which would usually take place once the King wanted to announce something important; like who would be the heir to the throne.

Luxembourg's politics was extremely secretive. That was because of the threat that the Western countries posed to them. Both Lee and Zhou families had decided long ago to not reveal the true way they were choosing the next person to succeed the throne to eliminate the possibility of betrayal between friends.

Everyone knew how the leaders were decided by fighting and other gruesome competitions. Even some people from the human rights groups had questioned that way of choosing the next person to sit on the throne.

But no one knew the truth: it was all simply orchestrated by both families to avoid leaking the information about who the real heir was.

Every time the King chose an heir to enthrone after him, he would call a meeting, which involved the Grand Elders of both families, the Queen, and the possible heir.

Then, the King would tell everyone the reason he had chosen that particular person to succeed him. After that, everyone would vote to agree or disagree with his decision.

So the question was why did the Lee Family always win despite the fact that there always were an equal number of elders from both Lee and Zhou families?

It was because no one actually knew the Grand Elders' identities. No one had ever seen their faces. No one knew their names. They were like random people, living in different parts of the world. It was arranged that way, so whoever was leading the country would not be able to affect them.

That was also the reason most Elders were not biased, and influencing on their decisions was not that easy.

"Mother, if Father dies… they will only have another meeting. They will not just directly choose me..." Carlisle said after a minute of thinking.
