As everything came too suddenly, no one else knew about it. After making all the necessary arrangements, Fred proceeded to the queen's room.
He had stationed his trusted aides there to give her the best possible care, but her condition had worsened over the past two days.
Initially, Fred even suspected she and Lily had conspired on this as they both experienced health issues simultaneously.
However, upon reflection, he realized they had no reason to work together. Besides, they could not have planned it, even if they wanted to. After all, Fred had locked them in separate areas.
He entered the room and saw the queen breathing weakly in bed. He hurried over and bent down, warmly calling her, “Your Majesty? Your Majesty?”
The queen’s eyes remained closed despite some movements. It was unclear whether she lacked strength or simply did not want to look at him.
Fred waved the others off and held the queen’s hand. He said softly, “It’s me, Your Majesty. I’ve come to see you. You can hear me, right?”
The queen’s eyelids twitched but did not open. Fred then sat beside the bed and continued, “I know you resent me due to misunderstandings, but I don’t mind. I know what I’m doing and what I want.
“I’m sure you’re the same, right, Your Majesty?” He gazed at her and said, “The experiment was your idea. When I heard it for the first time, I knew it was something remarkable.
