After all these years of careful planning and scheming, he couldn't believe the queen had uncovered
his plot and prepared herself so well.
"As I said, you're too arrogant," the queen said, "As someone who has worked for me for so many

Sitting in the wheelchair, the queen looked like any ordinary old lady, but her regal bearing was
impressive. Lily couldn't help but admire her for this.
