Eleanor smiled and had a short chat with Liam. "Then, I'll head off to the arena first. Don't want to keep Mother waiting."
Then, she left.
Subsequently, everyone entered and took their seats one by one as the host began his speech, after which Tanya took over.
She announced that the ascension ceremony had officially started and that Eleanor would be succeeding her.
However, at this moment, a few elders among the attendees about two rows below the platform suddenly stood up.
"The successor should be Veronica, not Eleanor."
"Yeah, it should be Veronica."
"Veronica is the rightful head of the clan."
"Kill Eleanor."
The murmurs of protest started to grow among the attendees.
At this time, there was a loud noise followed by rounds of gunshots outside the arena, causing a commotion.
Just as everyone stood up to check out the source of the noise, the eight entrances of the arena were forcibly breached by people under Crayson's leadership.
The guards rushed forward to defend the place, resulting in a chaotic scene.
Someone on the rostrum suddenly yelled, "Ahh! Princess Eleanor has been shot! Somebody help!"
"Hurry up and protect the princess!"
"Protect the queen!"
"Capture the insurgents!"
"Doctor! Quickly, call a doctor!"
The place was already in chaos when more and more people suddenly arrived at the scene, making it a complete mess.
When Liam heard that Eleanor was shot, he became tense and immediately rushed to the changing room to open the door to where Eleanor was.
This was the reason why he gave her the vest in the first place.
