Yasmin fell silent, seemingly pondering as Lily continued, “I don’t know if I'll fear death when | reach your age, but | feel there's a
limit to everything. Even if | want to live forever, | won't sacrifice others’ lives.
“I would never wish the sthing upon my children, friends, and family. Since | wouldn't want others to do this to me, | wouldn't
want to do it to others, too,” after a pause, she said, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
“I'm...tired.” Yasmin closed her eyes, not wanting to dwell on the topic. “You should get srest as well.”
“Your Majesty, | hope you can understand that it's impossible to achieve immortality. I've only created R10 based on the formula
they gave me. As for whether or not it'll work, I’'m...truly unsure.
“The truth is that | believe the chances of it working are essentially zero despite what | said earlier,” Lily spoke bluntly, no longer
needing to beat around the bush.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Enough!" Yasmin snapped. "Don't push it just because I've been kind to you, Lily."
"No, Your Majesty," Lily said, "I'm talking to you now as a friend, not as a prisoner. | know you're different from Fred. All you want is
to live on, but Fred desires a lot more."
Lily could tell from Fred's behavior that he was an extremist and highly selfish.
Yasmin asked coldly, “Do you think you can change my mind by praising me?”
Lily shook her head. “No, I'm just stating a fact. When you helpedobtain the drug to fake my death, you considered setting me
free, didn’t you?”
The queen's gaze wavered.
"Human nature is complicated." Lily sighed. "Many times, a single decision decides who we are. Decisions made by a ruler like you,
especially, will have enormous consequences.
"I know I'm just a nobody whose fate is bound with yours by chance. There's no way | can influence you, and it's ultimately your
call." Lily licked her dry lips. "I just wanted to speak my mind.
"All right, I've said all | need to say. I'll rest now. You should get an early rest and think it through."
As Lily turned to leave, a guard hurried over. He walked past her and bowed to Yasmin, whispering something.
Lily should not have been able to hear anything since she was a distance away. However, she could hear the guard because she
had trained in combat. The guard whispered, “A Hylander clooking for Rhea.”
Lily was surprised that an outsider would be looking for Rhea. The former glanced over and saw Yasmin looking at her. The guard
stopped talking and waited for Lily to leave.
After sthought, Lily turned to leave. She then stopped outside the door but could not hear a thing. As a guard was waiting to
return Lily to her room, she did not try to eavesdrop and left with him, even though she was curious.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYasmin heard Lily's fading footsteps and looked toward the guard, asking, “Who's looking for Rhea?”
“Someone named Mike. He says he must see her for something important. His full nis Mike...” The guard tried to recall the last
name.
