His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 2270

"Your Highness, I think the duke didn’t do all these for the queen, at least not entirely," Edward said seriously.

"Oh?" Ross asked curiously, "What makes you think that?"

"I spent some time in the lab and suffered at their creation. Fred did all this for something even more ambitious than achieving eternal life." After a pause, he continued, "If it's just for eternal life, they wouldn’t have to conduct experiments besides R20. Besides…"

Edward then looked toward Mike and said, "As Mr. Corden is also aware, there are many poisonous plants and drugs in the lab, and they wouldn't be useful in achieving eternal life. That's why I say he isn’t doing this just for the queen."

Ross nodded thoughtfully, thinking that what Edward said made sense. "It does add up, but why would Fred want to conduct the experiments in Hyderland where the risks are much higher? Why choose here?"

If it was true Fred was doing this behind the queen's back, he could have done it in Yudonia, where it was more convenient. After all, he was a duke and the queen's favorite, so it would be easier to conduct his experiments there.

"Forgive me for being blunt," Alexander said, "but how do you know that he hasn't conducted these experiments in your country, Your Highness?"

Ross was shocked.

"You weren't even aware of what Fred was doing behind your back. How can you be sure he hasn't been running similar labs in Yudonia?"
