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.
"Put down the gun!" Rick shouted.

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 cin 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 withand 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, | know you're determined to do this, but | must stop you. If you must carry on, then. experiment it on me!" Ross
exclaimed, straightening his back.

"You?" Yasmin shook her head with a frown. "We need tto look for a vessel for you. Besides, you're in your prand are in
good shape. You should...wait."
"No, | don't think the experiment will work at all, so it doesn't matter whether | 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 | have my own, so | 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!"
