hey could only raise their cups and continue to drink.

No one dared to suggest anything to the contrary, because with Olivia’s current temperament, if anyone dared to refuse, anything could happen.

In the past, there had been people who had talked back to her, but none of them had good outcomes.

As time went on, no one dared to refuse her.

However, this time, a voice of dissent sounded out.

“Your Majesty, you are intoxicated,” a calm voice sounded out from below.

The nobles all paused and felt quite startled.

They instinctively looked towards the direction that the voice had come from, and they saw a young man with a straight posture—it was Chen Heng.

“Intoxicated?”

Olivia looked at Chen Heng and frowned as she said, “I don’t think I’m intoxicated.”

“Your Majesty has drank enough; there’s no need to continue,” Chen Heng was calm as he continued to speak, “Moreover, it’s enough to just hold banquets like these once or twice; holding too many of them does not serve much meaning.”

He looked up at Olivia, “Otherwise it will just be a waste of time and resources.”

“Are you lecturing me?” Olivia’s smile did not change, but her gaze became sharp as she stared at Chen Heng.

“I’m just speaking the truth,” Chen Heng said calmly as he looked at Olivia, “Three years, in just three years.

“In order to participate in Your Majesty’s banquets, many people travelled day and night.
As such, many of them died in foreign places, and their corpses were unable to even be properly buried…”

He listed the tragedies that happened to many nobles in front of everyone present.

Every sentence he spoke, Olivia’s expression seemed to become colder, until it became terrifying.

She stared at Chen Heng with flames of fury burning in her eyes, as if she was about to explode.

“Well said!”

However, some guests inwardly supported Chen Heng.

In the past, because of the pressure from Olivia’s power, they did not dare to say anything and could only hold it in.

Now, someone was finally willing to stand up and speak for them.

Because of their fear of Olivia, they did not dare to openly support Chen Heng, but in that moment, they began to feel much more favourable towards Chen Heng.

“Kailin, just what do you want?”

Olivia’s eyes widened as she furiously glared at him, “If you don’t want to drink, then get the hell out.”

“I’m just telling you the truth.
If Your Majesty does not want to hear it, that’s fine.”

Looking at Olivia, Chen Heng did not say much else before directly leaving.

Looking at Chen Heng’s departing figure, the people in the surroundings were filled with respect.

Sitting at the main seat, Olivia’s emotions were the opposite.

She looked at Chen Heng’s back, her expression flickering.

Only after a while did she come back to her senses.
She gave a smile and continued to raise her wine cup as she drank with the nobles.

The atmosphere in the hall became lively again.

“Looks like the effects were quite good.”

Sensing the gazes from the nobles around him as he left, Chen Heng smiled.

To say such a thing in front of so many nobles, it naturally was not because he was bored but because he had a goal in mind.
