Chatper 2414As the guards stopped Rhea at the stairwell, she looked down at the empty hallway and calmed herself
down. “I have something important to tell Her Majesty. Please pass her my message. Otherwise, you'll
all pay for messing things up, okay? It's about the experiment."
Rhea could not help but speak arrogantly, thinking she was now working for the queen.
However, the guards remained still. One of them said, "Her Majesty says no one is to disturb her."
Sensing something was off, Rhea tried to peer inside, but the guards held her back. She frowned and
asked, "Is Her Majesty resting, or has she gone somewhere else?"
"We can't tell you that."
Rhea felt helpless but knew she could not force her way in.
Although Yasmin permitted her to use the laboratory, Rhea knew it did not mean the queen treated her
differently. Besides, it was unusual for the queen to let Lily conduct her experiment under the
circumstances.
Although Rhea was upset, she could only stomach her frustration and head toward the elevator. After
taking a few steps, she seemed to think of something and walked back to the guards.
"Hey, if Her Majesty isn't around, can I see Rick? Tell him that I have something important and urgent to
discuss." She tried to look as if she was in a hurry.
Hearing so, the two guards exchanged a hesitant look.
"I'm not kidding, guys," she stressed.
However, the two guards stayed still and answered, "Rick isn't here either. You'll have to wait.""He's not around, too?" Rhea was surprised. However, she knew Rick hardly ever left Yasmin's side,
and they probably left together. Still, Rhea wondered what they could be doing.
'What could be more important than the experiment? Isn't it the queen's priority?'
Rhea pondered as she walked, suddenly realizing the experiment might not be Yasmin's top priority.
After all, Rhea thought the queen only cared about R10. For an elderly person like Yasmin, the allure of
extraordinary abilities like invisibility was far less tempting than immortality.
That was why she always favored Lily over Rhea.
However, Rhea found the whole idea of immortality absurd. Although she enjoyed experimenting, she
felt it was hard to achieve.
Suddenly, Rhea turned and asked, "Did Her Majesty go to the lab?" The guards did not answer, but
Rhea knew her guess was correct when she noticed the guards freeze briefly.
'So she went to the lab, yet I didn't see her on my way here. So, she either went to another lab or used
another passage just now. If so, why did she go to the lab now? And why is she keeping it from
everyone? Wait a minute! Probably not everyone, but just me?'
