"Enough!" Yasmin suddenly exclaimed. "I won’t waste my time arguing over hypothetical issues. I've made up my mind, and no one can change it."
After a pause, she said grimly, "Seize both of them!"
When the guards charged forward, Ross tossed something forward and grabbed Lily's wrist. "Let's go!"
Before she could react, the prince ran outside with her in tow. Suddenly, smoke rose and obscured everyone’s vision and made them cough. Immediately after, Rick rushed to the queen’s side and shouted, “Protect Her Majesty!”
He then held up his walkie-talkie and said, "Do not let His Highness leave the embassy. Close the gate!"
Chaos ensued with coughing and moaning everywhere. By the time the smoke disappeared, so did Lily and Ross.
"I'll tell our men to give chase now, Your Majesty," Rick said solemnly.
"No need!" The queen stopped him. "Don't forget that he's my son. He can't stay away forever."
She let out a long sigh with a conflicted look in her eyes.
"But the woman…"
Rick disliked Lily. Although she was essential to Yasmin, she had threatened to hurt her.
