Lily wrapped her finger around the trigger but could not pull it. After all, she had never killed anyone
before, let alone a queen.
At that moment, someone shouted, "Don't shoot!"
The person stumbled and banged against the door. As everyone turned to look, Rick tried to snatch
Lily's gun again. However, she dodged and backed away. By doing so, she had let go of Yasmin.
Immediately after, the guards formed a protective circle around the queen while pointing their guns at
Lily.

Since it was pointless to prolong the standoff, Lily tossed her weapon aside. She knew Yasmin was
right. She would never shoot anyone. Because Yasmin knew Lily's exact thoughts, the latter's plan was
doomed to fail from the start.
"Seize her!" Rick waved, and the guards charged over.
"Wait!" Suddenly, Ross, the one who came in just now, dashed over and stood protectively before Lily.
"Nobody moves!"
Rick stepped closer and said, "Your Highness, you saw what happened. We have to arrest that woman
to protect Her Majesty."
Ross said solemnly, "I know everything that's going on here. Besides, it's not your place to give orders
with me and Her Majesty around."
"But..." Rick grew upset.
"Rick," Yasmin said, "step down."
Rick could only retreat and stand behind the queen. The latter then wheeled herself forward and asked
Ross, "Why are you here?"
"Mother, I know you're determined to do this, but I must stop you. If you must carry on, then.

"You?" Yasmin shook her head with a frown. "We need time to look for a vessel for you. Besides, you're
in your prime and are in good shape. You should...wait."
"No, I don't think the experiment will work at all, so it doesn't matter whether I have a compatible vessel
or if I'm in my prime. He's a child, isn't he?" Ross pointed at Nick, asking, "He's much younger than me,
but you still want to experiment on him, correct?
"I'm your son, and I have my own, so I know what it feels like to lose a child. Also, you're not just my
mother but also that of the people of Yudonia. Are you going to experiment on them, too? Do you plan
on transferring all the Yudonians' brains into the heads of Hylanders?"
Yasmin was stumped, and so were the other doctors. She struggled for an answer and said, “That's
absurd!"
"It's a fact, and you know it!"
