Furthermore, Ross wouldn't have found out about Rick if the latter didn't show himself. Ross could not help but wonder if there
were more like Rick.
Rick pressed the elevator button and stood aside to make room for the prince. The former then lowered his head slightly. "I can't
answer your question, Your Highness."
His answer was again courteous and firm.
Ross knew Rick couldn't tell him but was surprised he was so direct. Ross raised his brow and said, “Good. | hope you can stay
loyal, unlike Fred.”
Rick wasn’t upset when the prince compared him to Fred. Instead, Rick remained impassive. Soon after, he led Ross to the
reception room.

"Yes, Your Highness. Please wait for a moment," Rick said and left.
Someone else soon brought Ross a cup of coffee and went away. After a while, Ross heard a wheelchair and steady footsteps
nearby. He knew his mother had arrived.
The door opened, followed by the sound of the wheelchair rolling over the floor. Ross sat with his back toward the door but didn’t
turn to look over his shoulder. Instead, he picked up the coffee cup and sipped it.
"Aren't you going to greet me?" Yasmin's dignified voice cfrom behind her son.
Setting his coffee down, Ross stood up and bowed ceremoniously. "Good morning, Your Majesty."
The queen frowned. "What is this? Can't | even ask you to greet me?"
"Of course, you can. You can even putin jail now if you like," Ross said, looking down at the table.
"Why the hell would | put you in jail?" Yasmin frowned and gestured. "Take a seat."
"I don't deserve to," he said, remaining standing.
At that point, Yasmin could tell he was upset. She sighed and said, "What's the matter with you? Sit down, okay?"
"Is that an order?" Ross asked.
Yasmin grew upset. "Yes!"
He plopped himself down. "All right then."
She was at a loss for words. She then looked at Ross intensely before turning to Rick, saying, “Leave us.”
The man then left and closed the door behind him, leaving Yasmin alone with her son. The queen stared at her son momentarily
and then said, “It looks like no one is controlling your mind. That's good.”
Ross looked up at her in astonishment.
