"Why didn't you tell me?" Ross said, "So that's why you want to continue the experiment?"Yasmin nodded. "At first, I thought I would be dying soon. I even considered choosing a successor among your brothers. But then, one day, Fred suddenly told me that he found a way to achieve immortality, and we could set up a lab to research it."Her eyes began to light up. She still remembered it was a cloudy day, and she felt depressed. Her body also felt sore due to the weather. As the pain tormented her and the fear of death neared, Fred appeared to tell her the good news.She did not believe it initially, but Fred said the experiment had worked before and showed her an ancient text with strange symbols and characters. He said experts had translated it and confirmed that it contained a formula for immortality.He then began to paint her a wonderful picture of what would happen if the experiment succeeded, and she was hooked.At that moment, the sun shone through the parting clouds, and ev

"Your Majesty!" Rick quickly held Yasmin and instructed the guards to take Ross away.The latter was reluctant to leave at first, but when he saw his ill-looking mother, he yielded.Yasmin’s breathing was still uneven, even after her son left. Rick then sent her back to her room and got a doctor to examine her.After a detailed examination, the doctor shook his head. "Her Majesty's blood pressure and heart rate are very high. We must take emergency measures." "Then do it!""But Her Majesty is weak. I don't know…” The doctor was unsure if Yasmin could cope. "You should know what’ll happen to you guys if anything bad were to happen to her." Alarmed, the doctor quickly started emergency treatment. Rick looked on for a moment and then thought of something. He then left the room and whispered something to the guard outside.Soon, the guard brought Dominic over. "Please save her, sir," Rick said courteously, knowing Yasmin respected Dominic.Since the guard had brought the old

“Rick, leave us," Yasmin said softly after regaining her strength.Rick looked at the queen and then Dominic before nodding and leaving.Yasmin turned to Dominic and said weakly, “How much time do I have?”"What are you talking about?" Dominic asked. "Come on. I heard that herbal medicine practitioners can tell how long a person will live by just taking their pulse. Am I dying soon?" She frowned. She had always felt she could not hold on any longer. Since Yasmin did not know how much time she had, she was desperate to test the experiment, even though it was not mature enough yet. Still, she ended up getting treated like a guinea pig due to Fred’s greed."What nonsense are you spouting? I'm a physician, not a fortune teller." Dominic shook his head and sighed. He then sat on the chair beside the bed."Don't worry. Although you're weak, your life isn’t in immediate danger. You couldn't catch your breath because you got too worked up.“Anyway, at our age, we must steer away from

"You…" Yasmin glared at him.'How could he act like I'm giving him a massage? This old man sure knows how to take liberties with me!' she thought angrily.Dominic stared at her and laughed. "You're the one who wants me to treat you. You should obey me instead." She glared at him again, knowing he was trying to mimic her previous tone."I told you that your problem is a psychological one. If you don't learn to let go, no one can save you. But things will be different if you do." Dominic pointed at his heart. "Once it's full of troubles, nothing good will happen."Yasmin slowly turned toward him and started to listen intently. 'Nothing good will happen once my heart is full of troubles?'She could not help but think about her life over the past few years. Her people loved her, and she seemed to have aged well. However, the truth was that she had suffered tremendously. Yasmin would constantly worry about what would happen to the country after she died.There were many things tha

Ross motioned to charge out of the door when Rick opened it. “Your Highness.”"Ha!" Ross took a step back and looked at him. "So it's you who told them not to let me out of my room!"Rick glanced at the guards and looked back at Ross. "We were just following Her Majesty's orders.""Bullshit! My mom passed out. How could she give out any orders? You’re giving orders using her name. You're just like Fred!" Ross roared.Rick looked upset, and he lowered his head, saying, “Please don’t compare me to that traitor.” His tone was disdainful when he mentioned Fred.Rick was upset that the duke had tried to replace the queen even though she trusted him so much. If not for her, Rick would have shot Fred dead. Therefore, he was upset that Ross kept comparing him to Fred. "Oh, yeah? How are you any different? Aren't you now wielding power in the same way? Who gave you the right to do so?" Ross narrowed his eyes to study Rick. He wondered how a nobody like Rick could suddenly become the quee
