PopularNovelChapter 1636: Rebecca stopped, irritation flickering in her eyes. "I thought we were. If you have more to say, it'll have to wait. I have things to handle." Esteban's expression didn't change. "What things?" Rebecca's gaze flicked to the stage. "Elyse, Manfek's so-called peace envoy." Her voice was tight with disdain. "I thought she chere to foster harmony, but her music beca war cry. I need to apprehend her and bring her before the international court. The world will hear her confession." Esteban's composure cracked. "Stop deflecting. You need to take responsibility for your own actions." Rebecca's tongue swept across her lips, a flicker of unease betraying her. "What are you talking about? What actions?" Esteban's brow lifted, his gaze sharp. “You really don't know?" He let out a bitter laugh. "You've wanted to break the peace treaty from the start. This attack-you orchestrated it, didn't you? You sacrificed our own people just to pin the blon Manfek. But they won't sit back and take it. They'll retaliate. And when they do, your war- the one you've been waiting for—will begin.” Rebecca didn't reply right away. Instead, she studied Esteban, her stare measured, piercing.
For the first tin years, she felt as though she were truly seeing her overlooked brother.
When she finally spoke, her voice was like a blade dipped in frost. "Esteban, do you even hear yourself? You're accusingof treason, of slaughtering my own people. What possible reason would I have to ignite a war with Manfek? I'm not reckless. I'm not a fool." She stepped closer, her tone quiet but firm. “And as my brother, you should know that."

And I promise you-I won't let you succeed." Rebecca shook her head with a soft, resigned sigh. "Esteban, honestly, where are you getting this from? Do you really believe I'd betray my own people? As their future queen, I would never start a war." She gestured toward the fighter jets soaring above them, the tension of impending action palpable. "Look at the insignia on those planes. That's the enemy's mark. This is a clear provocation by Manfek!” Esteban's voice rang out in a harsh snarl. "Stop trying to manipulate me! Believing you would be the biggest mistake of my life!" He drew a dagger from his belt and aimed it directly at her. "Call off this slaughter, or I can't promise your safety!"
Rebecca barely glanced at the dagger, her gaze unwavering, Pocking opto him with an icy calmness.
A thick silence enveloped them, broken only by the tortured cries of the people around them.
