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 letout 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 compareto 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 sway? Who gave you the right to do so?" Ross
narrowed his eyes to study Rick. He wondered how a nobody like Rick could suddenly becthe queen's confidant.
Rick looked straight into Ross's eyes. "Your Highness, I've never desired any power. I'm happy enough to be able to protect Her
Majesty."
"Oh, yeah?" Ross was suspicious. "Are you really that loyal?"
"Twill tell," Rick said blandly.
"Cut the crap. How's my mom?" Ross said seriously.
"So you do care about Her Majesty, huh? Do you know that she's in bad shape?" Rick could hardly contain his anger. "Do you know
how much you've hurt her?"

"That's betweenand my mom. Stay out of it!" Ross was somewhat regretful. No matter what she did, he should not have lost
his temper and talked to her like that. However, he had lost his temper. Besides, he was saddened by what he had seen recently.
"Queen Yasmin passed out," Rick said, taking a deep breath as if suppressing his emotions.
"What?" Ross tried to rush out of the room. "lI want to see her!"
Rick barred his way. "There's no need. She's woken up. Her life isn’t in immediate danger."
"I still have to see her!" Worried, the prince tried to get past Rick.
However, the latter blocked his path with an outstretched arm. "Your Highness, please! Her Majesty says she wants to be alone. It's
true! When she's in a better mood, I'm sure you'll get to see her."
