Queen Julia's hand was shaking, her face pale with shock.
"Damon was supposed to ride with me to Miss Fiona's birthday party, but the driver insisted on royal protocol, allowing only me in the car. Despite my attempts to negotiate, he stubbornly stuck to the rules. Damon, a man of pride, was left out in the cold, his dignity trampled by our royal family. If my princess title is going to cause him such humiliation, I'd rather not have it."
Chloe had been bothered by this incident since she got into the car last night. She couldn't bring herself to mention it to Damon. Before he met her, he was proud and noble, always the center of attention. But with her, he wasn't even considered worthy of riding in the same car.
"That's outrageous!" Queen Julia was instantly livid. "When did our royal family establish such a rule that I don't even know?! Are the royal protocols set by the driver?! Bring him to me!"
Even Lea, the lady-in-waiting, was outraged by this incident. She quickly arranged for someone to get the driver.
Chloe paused before continuing: "I couldn't rebut his arguments, so I had to give in. But on the way, this so-called royal driver was driving recklessly, braking abruptly, accelerating wildly, and even choosing the most uneven roads. In the end, he even tried to drive me off a cliff." At this point, Chloe's face turned pale, her voice trembling noticeably.d2
"Unbelievable! He dared to plot against my royal princess! Bring him here! Now!!"
It was rare for the mother and daughters to see Queen Julia lose her temper. Recently, however, it had become a daily occurrence. They thought each time was the limit, but it was beyond their imagination.
The Queen now was so angry that she was ready to take the driver's life on the spot.
The three of them were extremely nervous, fearing that the driver would crack under pressure and spill some unwanted truth.
Barbara took a couple of steps forward, her hoarse voice slowly sounding, "Grandmother, don't be angry. If the driver is so audacious, then just punish him. There's no need to meet him and upset yourself further."
Chloe tugged at her lips, her gaze sweeping past Barbara to the entrance.
Nate was already walking in with a stern expression.
Seeing this, Barbara's face turned a shade paler, and she glanced at Ava anxiously.
Chloe said, "He was utterly outrageous last night, so I wanted to confirm with him and grandmother whether the so-called royal protocol included his words yesterday, and whether there was any rule about not stopping the car halfway?"
The driver had been locked up all night, his energy nearly depleted. He looked at the Queen and immediately collapsed in fear. "Why don't you tell us, who established these so-called royal rules that the car can only carry the princess?"
The driver stuttered, "The initial task was to pick up Princess Chloe from the hotel, and there was no mention of anyone else. I didn't dare to make a mistake, so I only took the princess."
"Did she ask you to take another person halfway?!"
The driver broke out in a cold sweat, "She...she did. But I was just following the initial order, Your Majesty."
