Spoiled by Mr Russell (Lily Christian and Alexander) novel Chapter 2423

Lily continued, "If you didn’t, Hyderland wouldn’t be responsible for anything, and people might start wondering why you trespassed on our country.”

She had caught Yasmin off guard, and the latter shook her head. “Do you think things will be so simple? I’m a queen, damn it.”

“So what if you are? You’ll age and die like commoners. Besides, I only care about what happens now,” Lily said coldly, “I’m running out of patience, just like you.”

The queen fell silent for a long while. She gazed deeply at Fred and Nick. She wanted to see for herself how the surgery would go and whether it would succeed. She would only be convinced when she saw the outcome.

"What do you want?" After a pause, Yasmin asked, "Will you obey me after I let the kid go? Can I trust someone who's holding me hostage?"

"Your Majesty, you mustn't trust her!" Rhea suddenly said, worried the queen would listen to Lily. "If you free the boy, she's still going to hold you hostage next time. You're right. You shouldn't trust anyone capable of doing such a thing."

Lily glared at Rhea. "You don't care about anyone at all, do you?"

"Says who? I care about…Her Majesty!" As if trying to convince Yasmin, Rhea quickly looked at Yasmin as if trying to convince the queen. "Only Her Majesty trusts and values me."

Lily scoffed. "If I remember correctly, you said the same thing to Fred, didn't you? Then what happened?"
