The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

Queen Sharon, dressed in the traditional gown of the Jade Continent Kingdom, stood gracefully under the eaves of the main hall. She exuded an aura of nobility and majesty, inspiring awe in all who beheld her. Her beautiful face and elegant demeanor overshadowed everything around her.

The rain grew heavier, with large raindrops pounding the ground and splashing up in bursts. However, Queen Sharon remained unmoved, quietly watching her descendants kneeling in the rain.

Apart from Zhou Yanhuan and the man beside her, all the other descendants kept their heads down, not daring to look directly into the Queen's eyes. Their bodies trembled slightly, as if they were under immense pressure.

Zhou Yanhuan and his brother knelt at the front of the crowd, their clothes already soaked through by the rain, yet they remained kneeling, motionless. Queen Sharon's gaze swept over them, finally settling on the man next to Zhou Yanhuan.

The man's face had an unhealthy bluish tinge, making him appear extremely haggard. However, his features were exceptionally refined and sculpted, possessing a strong mixed-race appearance. His blue pupils, in particular, were deep and mysterious, captivating all who beheld them. Queen Sharon immediately recognized the child's resemblance to her husband and herself, and even more strikingly, to Zhou Yanhuan, sharing a six-tenths resemblance in his eyes and brows.

Queen Sharon thought to herself, "So that's how it is. I knew Zhou Yanhuan was full of tricks. What did she say? As long as there's a play this afternoon, this child will definitely show up. What a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone. It seems my guess was right." Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smug smile.

Queen Sharon was overwhelmed with indescribable shock. She felt there was no need for a paternity test to confirm that the boy kneeling beside Zhou Yanhuan was indeed the royal child who had been separated from the family for many years! This was her grandson, and the son her daughter had never seen. He had actually returned after so many years; it was simply unbelievable.

She suppressed her inner excitement and joy, but maintained a calm demeanor on the surface. She was acutely aware that another pair of eyes were secretly watching them. Queen Sharon knew that everything unfolding was a meticulously planned scheme by her and Zhou Yanhuan, and she had to strictly control her emotions, otherwise the entire plan would be ruined.

Queen Sharon stood beneath the high eaves. Her cold, serious expression and tone filled the surrounding atmosphere with tension. Her gaze, sharp as a sword, pierced Zhou Yanhuan kneeling below, her eyes flashing with a chilling light.

“Catherine Nore Lancaster!” The Queen’s voice was as cold as ice, sending a chill down one’s spine.

Zhou Yanhuan felt the pressure from above, but she did not back down. She raised her head and met Queen Sharon's gaze, her eyes filled with determination.

Queen Sharon narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of doubt flashing within them. She frowned, looking down at Zhou Yanhuan, and questioned, "I just heard someone say that he's your brother. What exactly is going on?"

“Grandmother, the person kneeling next to me is indeed my brother.” Her voice was clear and firm, without the slightest fear.

Queen Sharon watched Zhou Yanhuan quietly, as if waiting for her explanation so she could continue.

Zhou Yanhuan took a deep breath and straightened her posture. Her eyes became even more determined, as if she was ready to face any challenge.

At this moment, Zhou Yanhuan felt that her grandmother's acting skills were really good.

“Replying to Grandmother, this person really is my brother. He is my long-lost brother, a brother even Mother didn’t know. I found him and brought him back without telling any of you.” Her voice trembled slightly, as if concealing deep emotions.

Queen Sharon remained silent for a moment, her gaze sweeping back and forth over Zhou Yanhuan, trying to find the answer in her expression. Finally, she slowly spoke, "Catherine Nore Lancaster. Since you're so certain, I'll trust you this once. However, the true identity of this man still needs further investigation."

Zhou Yanhuan was secretly delighted. Her grandmother's acting was truly superb; she remained outwardly calm and serious, but in reality, she had already confirmed her brother's identity the moment she saw him. Next, she needed to find a way to gain her brother's acceptance from the family members and integrate him into the extended family.

Queen Sharon looked at Hilbert with icy eyes, her voice authoritative: "As a member of the Nore Lancaster royal family, you should understand our rules and traditions. Your kneeling at the door is not only disrespectful to me, but also contemptuous of the entire royal family!" Her words were like a sharp sword, piercing Hilbert's heart.

Hilbert looked disheveled in the rain, but he still stood straight. He straightened his posture and said respectfully and loudly, "Your Majesty, I am not yet a member of the royal family, but I have never had such thoughts. If you separate my sister's child from my sister, I don't mind having such thoughts. So what if I rebel against the royal family? I kneel here because I am the brother. If one day your royal family no longer allows my sister and her child to live together and forcibly separates them, then even if it means rebelling against the royal authority, or even going against you, I will not hesitate!"

As Zhou Yanhuan listened to her brother's declaration, which seemed to be a fight against the whole world, her eyes reddened and tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhou Yanhuan was deeply moved. Having been a princess of the Nore Lancaster royal family for over a decade, she knew all too well the hardships and dangers of confronting the royal family and the queen, and the immense courage required.

Zhou Yanhuan knew that if one day she made a serious mistake and had to confront the royal family and rebel against the Queen to achieve her goals, then apart from her brother, her other brothers would likely side with the royal family and condemn her actions.

But at this moment, her brother was actually willing to stand up to their grandmother for her. Although Zhou Yanhuan knew in her heart that this was just an act, she could still feel his firm determination and deep love for her from his words. This feeling made her feel warm and at ease.

The other brothers were visibly shocked and astonished upon hearing this. Their eyes widened, their mouths agape, as if struck by lightning, unable to move.

"What?" someone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

“How is this possible?” another person muttered to himself.

Their gazes all turned to Zhou Yanhuan and Hilbert's retreating figures, trying to find answers in their movements and silhouettes. However, Zhou Yanhuan looked at Her Majesty the Queen with a calm expression, seemingly oblivious to the gasps and exclamations of the others, and appeared unsurprised by their reactions. Hilbert, on the other hand, wore a faint smile, his eyes firm and confident.

Besides being surprised that Hilbert was Catherine's brother, not the father of Catherine's children, what shocked them even more was realizing that the twin gene in the family had not been interrupted in Catherine's case.

This means they have gained a brother, a relative who shares the same bloodline as them.

Queen Sharon showed a hint of surprise upon hearing Hilbert's reply, but she quickly regained her composure. She took a deep breath, a flash of admiration in her eyes.

"Just as I thought." She sighed inwardly, a slight smile playing on her lips. "This child really is a twin of Catherine, they have some of the same temperaments. They're also very much like me when I was young."

The Queen sighed inwardly, a mixture of pride and emotion washing over her, as if she were seeing her younger self in him. The others nodded in agreement. They were secretly relieved that this performance hadn't damaged the bond between Hilbert and Zhou Yanhuan.

At the same time, they also look forward to getting to know this new brother better and working together to protect the family's honor.

Although Queen Sharon was somewhat proud, she did not show it on the surface and continued to ask, "Aren't you afraid I will disown you if you talk like that? Do you know how difficult it is to defy royal rules and regulations?"

Upon hearing the Queen's question, everyone turned to look at Hilbert, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation. They all wanted to hear how Hilbert would answer this crucial question.

Hilbert stood there calmly, his gaze firm and confident. He spoke slowly, “Your Majesty, please forgive my frankness, but I have known my true identity for ten years, yet I have never appeared before you or anyone else, not even my sister. Therefore, your so-called recognition of me is of no importance to me. Although the Lancaster royal family holds a high position in the Kingdom of Jade Continent, I have always maintained a sense of awe. However, if the royal family attempts to deprive my sister of her right to reunite with her child, forcing them to separate, then no matter how difficult the road ahead, I will not hesitate to rise up in resistance. As her brother, I have failed to protect her for the past ten years. But now that I have returned, I will do everything in my power to protect her and ensure that her future days are peaceful, prosperous, and happy.”
