Although Fred could appease the queen with just a few words in the past, she would not let it go this time. After contemplating for a moment, Fred straightened up, saying, “All right, Your Majesty. I'll tell you since you’ve already discovered it.
“The lab started as a small workshop. You know I’ve been working on the R10 experiment for you. R10 is a codename. We call it that because there were others.”
The queen raised her brow. “You’re saying there were nine other similar experiments?”
“Yes.” He nodded after a moment’s hesitation.
The queen tilted her head slightly. “What about after R10? Were there any other experiments?”
Fred looked at her and seemed to assess whether or not to tell her. After a few seconds, he nodded. “Yes, Your Majesty.”
He was unsure how much the queen knew and dared not probe. After all, he knew what she was like after serving her for nearly 30 years.
The queen might appear kind and approachable to others, but only Fred knew about her ruthless side when dealing with her enemies. Even he could not predict what the queen would do to them.
