Wanting to caress his face initially, Yasmin withdrew her hand. "So you still wantto give up on the experiment."
"I just want you to spare yourself." Ross tried to hold her hand, but she moved it away.
Yasmin averted her gaze and said, "I'm tired. You should go back to rest as well."
"Mom..."
Without looking at him, she said, "Rick!"

Rick hurried inside and asked, "What can | do for you, Your Majesty?"
"Bring him to his room," she said coldly.
Rick motioned to walk over, but Ross stood up and said grimly, “I know my way out.”
As he walked toward the door, he stopped and looked over his shoulder, “Mom, | know you won't listen to what | say, but | hope
you think this through. Consider the ambitions you once had when you were young.
“Do you remember what you wanted to do when you first becthe queen?” Ross then turned and left.
Yasmin sat in her room alone for a long time. However, her gaze was unfocused as her mind drifted off. Her son's words had
affected and reminded her of a distant past she had almost forgotten.
Yasmin was just a nervous young lady when she had just becthe queen. Her father, the former ruler, gently put her hand on
the scepter that symbolized power. He asked warmly, “Do you know what this is?”
“It's the scepter, Father!” Yasmin’s teenage voice sounded crisp.
However, her father shook his head. “No, this is responsibility. By taking it, you will be responsible for the Yudonians’ fate. You must
protect and care for them so that they can live better lives.”

Yasmin realized how important her job was at that time. After being on the throne for so long, she had forgotten many things and
had grown so accustomed to being a queen that she could not let go of her power. She wanted to rule the country forever.
‘What did | want to do back then?’ Yasmin pondered as she gazed out of the window. A withered leaf then fell off a tree branch
after being blown by the wind.
For Lily, the only good thing about Yasmin taking charge was that she had more freedom now. At least Lily could walk around freely
on that floor. She could not have asked for more after being held captive for so long.
Of course, she knew Yasmin would never let her go. Having invested so much into the experiment, it was nearly impossible that the
queen would give up so easily.
Nonetheless, it did not take long for Lily to locate Nick's room.
