His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 2369

It was clear what Rick was implying. Ross nodded and said, “I see. | didn’t know. Is my mother still asleep?”

Rick glanced over his shoulder and grunted a yes before saying, “She might wake up later than usual since she slept late. I'm

afraid you'll have to wait for a while, Your Highness.”

"That's okay, | can wait." Just as he turned to leave, he remembered something and asked, "Where's Fred?"

After a moment's hesitation, Rick answered, "We've arrested him."

"Where is he? Taketo him." Ross had questions for the duke.

However, Rick remained still and said blandly, "Her Majesty toldnot to let anyone near or see him because he's a felon now."

"Not even me?" the prince asked, somewhat upset.

"Please understand, Your Highness," Rick said courteously and firmly, "I'm just following Her Majesty's orders."

In other words, he couldn't make exceptions for anyone.

Ross looked at him intensely and said coldly, "I know."

He then turned and headed toward the room where he usually stayed. While watching the floor indicator, he suddenly thought of

something and asked, "Where's Lily being held?"

Caught off guard, one of the officers accompanying him said in hesitation, "I have no idea, Your Highness. Who are you referring

to?"

Ross glanced at the officer. Suddenly, he realized someone had instructed these people not to tell him a thing. He didn't know what

had happened at the embassy or who worked for Fred or Yasmin.

"Can you tellwho's in charge here now?" After a pause, the prince asked, "Besides Her Majesty, whose orders do you follow?"

"We only follow her orders, Your Highness."

Yasmin had given direct orders to the embassy staff, probably because she had learned her lesson.

Ross stopped prying and returned to his room. When it was dawn, someone knocked on the door. Ross opened the door and saw

Rick standing impassively outside. “Your Highness, Her Majesty has woken up.”

"So | can see her now?" Ross asked, raising his brow. Since he hadn't changed his clothes and the bed looked tidy, it was apparent

he hadn't even tried to rest just now.

Rick nodded. "Yes, please cwith me, Your Highness."

Ross then followed him and narrowed his eyes at Rick's sturdy frame. "How long have you served my mom?"

"A very long time," Rick answered vaguely without looking back. It was either he didn't want to say exactly how long or couldn't.

"You're good. | never noticed you before." Ross thought for a moment. "Are there others like you around her?"

As the crown prince, he knew secret bodyguards were protecting the royal family, including himself. He always thought that he

knew all who protected his mother, but it turned out that he was wrong.
