"Don't you realize your children are waiting for you?" Yasmin continued.
Unperturbed, Lily lifted her chin. "Of course I do. So what? You won't let me go anyway! Since I can't escape, I might as well try
to save someone."
There was fierce determination in her eyes.
"You're truly unlike me," Yasmin said with a sigh.
"Indeed, I'm not, and I'm glad about that."
binds our fates together."
Lily chuckled. "When did you become religious? Is it because you've gotten old?"
"Shut up!" Enraged, Rick suddenly moved. As if confident that Lily would not shoot, he tried to snatch her gun, but she moved
away before he could.
Lily and him then engaged in a fight in the small space.
"Stop!" the queen shouted, "Rick!"
Rick did as told and glared at Lily as he stood protectively before Yasmin. The queen pushed him aside, saying, "There's no
need to protect me. If she wanted to hurt me, she would have done it long ago."
Lily snorted and said, "That's very trusting of you, Your Majesty."
"Well, I trust myself more than I trust you." Yasmin looked confident. "You just don't dare to hurt me because of who I am. If
anything were to happen to me here, it would mean war between two countries."
Yasmin shook her head slightly. "You won't risk it."
"Try me!” Lily dashed over and seized Yasmin's shoulder, pointing the gun at her.
"Your Majesty!" Rick shouted.
The others were stunned and tried to hide in panic.
"Lily, are you fucking insane?!" Rhea exclaimed. As her career now depended on the queen, she could not let Lily hurt her.
Lily ignored Rhea and turned to Yasmin. "You're wrong, Your Majesty. Yes, I didn't want to risk it, but I'm dying soon, and
someone like me has nothing to lose. If you don't fulfill my request, I'll make sure everyone here dies with me and Nick!"
She sneered and continued, "Besides, did you go through the official channel when you came to Hyderland? I doubt you did.".
