Ross answered, “Of course, provided you perform well and have a clean history."

"You can count on it, Your Highness," Rhea nodded and touched the wine bottle again. "It's getting late. How about another glass before you rest?"

"No," Ross turned her down again, "As I said, I don't want to get drunk.”

"Fred should be leaving now, right?" he asked, glancing at the clock on the wall.

Rhea again flicked the bottle and murmured, "Oh, yeah, it's late now. You should rest, Your Highness."

"I still have work to do. You should leave now." Ross picked up a document to read. As he did, he suddenly felt dizzy and unbearably sleepy. He frowned and tried in vain to shake off the sleepiness.

"It must be so tiring to handle so much work, right? You don't have to work so hard, you know." Rhea stayed put and continued, "Why don't you get an early sleep? I bet you must be sleepy."

She repeated, and Ross felt he could hardly keep his eyes open hearing the word "sleepy." He felt as if a powerful

    "You're…" Ross was still in a daze. Rhea looked into his eyes and rhythmically flicked the bottle, "I'm Rhea, your friend and master.""My friend and my master?" Ross frowned, looking and feeling uncomfortable."Yes, I'm your friend and master. Do you remember who you are?" Rhea asked. "I'm Ross, the Yudonian prince." He remembered who he was but was puzzled about Rhea's identity. Rhea nodded. "That's right. You're the prince. What are you doing in Hyderland?""I came to Hyderland… to look for my mom, the queen," he responded cooperatively. Rhea was surprised because she did not know the queen was also there. After all, interacting with the prince already seemed incredible to her. She held her breath and patiently asked, "Why are you looking for her? Has something happened to Her Majesty?""I don’t know. My mother has been missing since a few days ago." Ross shook his head, looking confused. "My mom is missing!""The queen is missing?!" Rhea exclaimed but soon covered her

    "That's right. You're her son, and it's most fitting for you to go,” Rhea’s gentle voice enchanted Ross, leaving him unable to say no."Yes, I'm her son. I should be the one who finds her," Ross said, nodding. Rhea smiled, knowing she had proved herself. She stressed, "Go to sleep then. You'll depart early tomorrow, okay? Remember that.” "Okay!" Ross answered, nodding again. Rhea then tapped on the bottle to make it ring. Ross blinked, then fell asleep for real this time. Rhea got up and strolled out of the room. Someone soon brought her to Fred's office, where he waited. Since Ross demanded removing the surveillance devices from his room, Fred could not see what happened. Fred looked at Rhea, questioning, "Did it work?""Congratulations, Your Grace. You got what you wanted," Rhea said, bowing respectfully. Fred was thrilled because he could control Ross and target anyone through the drug and Rhea's hypnosis. Although Fred was more interested in the invisibility potion, h

    Rhea would control everything and possibly threaten Fred if that were the case. "Not yet." Rhea looked troubled. "I understand your concerns, but R20 can only work alongside hypnosis now, which takes time to learn. We must lay the groundwork and give commands to hypnotize someone, especially in the early stages."For example, flicking the wine bottle was a subtle suggestion to Ross, conditioning him to the hypnosis. "Enough!" Fred held up a hand and grew impatient. "Just hearing that gives me a headache. Remember, you must still listen to me, even if you can control many people. Is that clear?""Yes, Your Grace." Rhea lowered her head. However, Fred did not trust her completely. To be precise, he would not trust anyone wholeheartedly. The queen served as a cautionary tale for him. She trusted him even though he would later betray her. That was why he would never believe in anyone so quickly. "Don't ever think about using R20 on me. You’re in my place and can’t escape if you

    Rhea believed the doctors in the embassy could not deal with Lily’s condition. Otherwise, Fred would not beat around the bush when asking about it. Therefore, Rhea looked forward to Fred asking for her help if it concerned Lily....In Lily's room, the doctors surrounded her. They were sweating profusely. Despite their best efforts, they could only maintain her heart rate, but her readings showed that she was dying. They just could not figure out what was wrong with her. At the thought of what would happen to them if she died, their sweating became even more intense. "How is she?" Fred asked as he came by again.He could not allow Lily to die, especially not now. This was the most crucial moment. How could she die at this juncture? He simply could not let that happen! Seeing the numbers on the electrocardiogram, Fred grew upset. "Her condition is still the same as before! What the fuck have you guys been doing?!""Your Grace, we've tried everything, but we can’t find the cause

    "What the hell?" Fred scolded, "Aren't you guys supposed to be experts?"One of the doctors said nervously, "Your Grace, acupuncture is a special practice developed by the Hylanders. We've never learned it."Fred asked coldly, "Are you saying I should get you a doctor from Hyderland?" "Well…" The doctors exchanged hesitant looks. Seeing this, Fred grew upset. "Out with it!" "Well…" "Say it, or I will bury you guys alive!"Alarmed, a doctor quickly said, "There's a so-called miracle doctor in Hyderland, but he has been a recluse for some time. If we can get his help, we might be able to save Lily.""A miracle doctor? I’ve never heard of such a person?" Fred narrowed his eyes in puzzlement. "He's a practitioner of alternative medicine and has led a secluded life for so long that he's rumored to be dead. However, there was news of him not long ago, so I doubt the rumor is true. He has several formidable students who are now in different parts of the world, and only he is in

    The following day, Ross left the embassy and pulled onto the highway. Not wanting anyone to know where he was going, he did not take a plane and chose to travel by car. He was to leave Kingsland, switch cars, and head south to look for the queen. Standing on the balcony, Fred watched the car leave with a satisfied smile. Rhea stood by his side, relieved to see his smile. "If Ross can’t find the queen, he will return," Rhea said tentatively. "Of course, he will." Fred nodded. "But by the time he returns, I'll have already completed what needs to be done. Besides…" He turned around and looked at Rhea appraisingly. "Isn't Ross under your control? You can keep him from coming back, can't you?"Rhea was at a loss for words. "Why? Is that not so?" he asked sternly. Rhea quickly answered, "Yes, yes. I can." "There you go. Nothing to worry about then. Just remember to get him to report to you his whereabouts and send you his location every day."Fred wanted to make sure they knew

    "Bring him here right now," Fred said in a lowered voice. "He refused to come with us, sir. We can't force him, or he might call the police."As they had already attracted enough attention, they could not risk it as the miracle doctor was well-known. Besides, they could not enter his estate. They had asked to see him, but he turned them down. The only thing they could do was wait in the car and call Fred for further instructions.Suppressing the urge to curse, Fred said grimly, "What does he want? Tell him to name a price." "No, Your Grace. He doesn't care for money."They were at their wits' end. As they were not in Yudonia, they could not do as they pleased. "No one ever says no to money!" Palming his forehead in frustration, Fred shouted, "Make him an offer he can't refuse! I'm sure he’ll say yes once we offer him enough." Just as he was about to hang up, he had a second thought. "Never mind. I'll go there right now." He thought perhaps it was better if he took charge in

    Unused to the smell, Fred covered his nose and gagged. Dominic glanced over his shoulder and then turned back to his brewing. "Hi, sir. It’s been quite a challenge to meet with you," Fred said as he went to take a seat across from the physician.Before he could sit down, Dominic said, "No!"Startled, Fred froze. He looked at Dominic, then to the chair. "What's the matter?""That chair is about to fall apart. Use that one instead." Dominic pointed at a small stool with the bellows in his hand.Fred was speechless when he saw the stool. It was meant for children. Thinking he would look funny hunched over, he remained on his feet. "It's okay, I'll stand.He then continued, "I don't like beating around the bush. You know who I am, and I'm here to seek your help to save someone.”Dominic shook his head. "Save someone? I've not done such a thing for many years.""But this time is different. I know you’re a hermit, but aren't you going to ask me anything?" Fred asked, "Are you sure y

    Lily tilted her head up to fight back her tears, saying, “There’s something I find strange.”“What is it?” Mike asked after comforting his son.“Instead of detaining Prince Ross, Her Majesty has sent him back to Yudonia. If so, why couldn’t we reach him?”After some thought, Mike answered, “There are two possibilities. It’s probably due to poor signals, or he doesn’t want us to contact him.”The two shared a look, knowing what each other was wondering.‘Why can’t we contact Ross? Is he planning something?’…Three days later, Lily inserted the last needle into the queen’s leg and looked up at her, saying, “You should start feeling your legs tomorrow. Still, it’ll take some time before you can stand.”Suddenly, Lily chuckled.“Why are you laughing?” Yasmin touched her legs. She had begun to regain sensation in her legs over the last two days. She then began to believe that she could get up. However, the queen was hesitant when the queen heard Lily chuckle.Lily shook her head

    Lily straightened up and said without resentment, “Of course, you wouldn’t.”“That’s… quite a pity,” the queen murmured thoughtfully.“Well, there’s a price to pay for everything. That’s how the world balances itself,” Lily continued, “I can’t stop you if you must carry on with R10. Still, I won’t witness whether or not it succeeds. I just wish the outcome isn’t something you’ll regret.”Lily smiled and turned to head out the door.Rick heard their conversation as he stood guard outside. After exchanging looks with Lily as she brushed past him, he entered the room and saw the needles in Yasmin’s legs. “Your Majesty, those needles—”The queen waved dismissively. “It’s okay. Lily will remove them later.”Even so, Rick was wary. “You’re being too careless, Your Majesty. What if that woman—”“She wouldn’t,” Yasmin interjected, shaking her head."Why do you trust her so much?" Rick asked despite himself. The queen fell silent. If Rick had not asked her that, she would not have rea

    Lily took out a cloth and unfolded it, revealing a row of silver needles inside. Yasmin was surprised she carried the needles with her.“Tell me. What do you want?” The queen took a deep breath to calm herself. She then reminded herself that she could always say no to Lily’s request. Still, Yasmin was cautious about Lily trying to trick her.Lily casually said, "I left because Prince Ross wanted to help me. I hope you don’t punish him.""That's it?" Yasmin thought she had misheard Lily. 'Is she trying to talk terms with me just so that I won't punish my son?' she wondered in disbelief."Ross is my son. I won't harm him. Don't you think you've wasted an opportunity by making such a request?" The queen shook her head. "I wasn’t sure if you’d blame him, but he did rescue me once. If I don't do anything, it would be ungrateful of me," Lily said gently, "Also, didn’t you already lock him up?"Yasmin was puzzled. "No, I only sent him back to Yudonia. He kept trying to get me to sto

    "Three days," Lily replied.“That’s it?!” Yasmin was in disbelief. She thought Lily would try to buy some more time and suspected she would say the process would take several months or even years.‘I haven’t felt my legs for over a decade. I wouldn’t mind waiting for three more days.’“Are you sure I can get up and walk in just three days?” Yasmin pressed her legs hard but felt nothing. She would have treated her legs long ago if it were that easy.The queen had visited many famous doctors from various countries, but they could only stop her legs from getting weaker. However, Lily confidently told Yasmin that she could fix her legs so quickly.Yasmin wanted to believe it.After some consideration, Lily said, “I can’t guarantee that you’ll walk as fast as you once could. After all, you haven’t used your legs for a long time, and your muscles have atrophied. Still, you’ll recover slowly.”Yasmin nodded repeatedly, thinking it was good enough. She never dreamed of walking as well a

    “Because only our opinions matter." Lily thought of something and said, "Unless you choose to believe Rhea.""I… don't trust anyone." Yasmin’s expression stiffened as she turned her wheelchair away."Your Majesty, I know you're dedicated to the experiment, but there are other things in life. Have you ever considered letting go of your burden to sightsee? You’ve done enough as a queen over the last few decades. Aren’t you tired of living a lonely life?”Lily gently spoke as she gazed at Yasmin’s back.The older woman caressed her knees with both hands and stared down at her legs, murmuring, “Sightsee, huh? I’ve forgotten what that’s like.”Yasmin had not used her legs for many years. Initially, she could still stand up and sometimes took a few steps. However, she could no longer get to her feet.She had grown accustomed to sitting in a wheelchair, but she felt a pang of sorrow after hearing Lily’s suggestion.Lily asked, “What if I can help you stand again? What if you can walk a

    "Yes, I returned not just for him but also for you," Lily said, "I'm sure you were anxious for my return, weren't you?"Yasmin scoffed dismissively. "Why would I be? I have my bargaining chip. Besides, did you honestly think I couldn’t bring you back?""Bargaining chip? Do you mean Nick?" Lily shook her head with a smile. "Don't forget that he's not my son. Do you think he'll be much of a bargaining chip to you if I choose to ignore him for my three children?"She did not wait for Yasmin to reply and continued, "Besides, Nick still has a father who’s willing to die for him. If Mike decides to take drastic action against you— Yes, you're a queen, and you don't care much about an insignificant businessman.“However, don't forget that his business spans worldwide. There's no guarantee what he might do. Who knows, he might spread information that can affect Your Majesty and Yudonia's reputation?""You…" The queen was exasperated but could not retort.Lily noticed it and casually said

    Rick could only remain silent at that moment.Yasmin then turned her wheelchair around and blandly said, “Bring Lily over. I’d like to see what excuses that sly woman can come up with.”"Your Majesty?" Rick was puzzled. "You know she'll just lie to you. Why must you—"Yasmin interjected, "I'd like to hear what she has to say."Rick had no choice but to leave and do as she said.As Lily was about to doze off, she heard noises from outside and opened her eyes. Immediately after, the door opened, and Rick appeared. He glared at her and spoke coldly, “Her Majesty wants to see you.”Lily glanced at Rick calmly and stood up as if she had expected his appearance. On the other hand, Mike rose before her and headed out.However, Rick stopped him as he reached the door. “You stay.”"But we came together!" Mike glanced over his shoulder at Lily, signaling her to persuade the man. Rick added, "The queen doesn’t wish to see you. Just stay here!"Lily patted Mike's shoulder and said gentl

    Everyone was shocked when Lily returned to the embassy with Mike. One of the staff members quickly left to report the news to Queen Yasmin.Meanwhile, Lily saw people peering at her and Mike from the corner. Afterward, several guarded-looking men appeared. Lilt recognized them as the queen’s attendants. They brought Mike and Lily inside and then gave the duo a thorough search.The men only relaxed after finding nothing suspicious about the duo. Even so, Lily could not see the queen as the men told her to wait in an innermost room instead.After returning to the embassy, Lily felt a sense of strange familiarity. Although she knew the place well, her mindset had changed.She previously hated the embassy and simply wanted to escape. However, she had returned with a critical mission. Not only did she have to complete it, but she also needed to leave the place in one piece.While she was calm, Mike was somewhat anxious. He clasped his hands on his knees and glanced around as he sat dow

    "I promise I'll do anything you want, okay?" Mike begged. He was desperate to see his son, so he decided to follow Lily when she insisted on returning to the embassy.Mike continued, “If any of you go with her, they might stop or suspect you. They won’t do that to me. It’s natural for me to want to see and rescue my son. I’m the best candidate because it makes sense for me to sacrifice myself for him.”After a short silence, Lily said, “You’re right.” She then looked at Alexander, who pondered before slowly raising his head and saying, “Me too.”Dominic tapped the table. "So do I."Cameron thought for a moment before saying, "I've no objections."Seeing this, Austin spread his arms and said, "Since you all agree, what else can I say? Let's do it!"It did not matter whether or not he agreed, but he just wanted to support Mike. The latter nodded and became emotional, saying, “Thanks, you guys!”"Why are you thanking us? Just be careful, and don’t be rash like you promised," Aust
