Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 2113

“Shut the hell up!” Fred showed up at the doorway.

The queen was shocked. “Fred?!”

“Your Majesty, what are you doing here? Don’t you trust me?” Fred hurried over and bent a knee before her, but he looked angry.

“No, it’s not that I don’t trust you.” The queen looked panicked, like a child caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

“Your Majesty, I’ve always been loyal to you. You know how hard I’ve worked to ensure you would live on forever. Yet here you are, questioning my loyalty?” He looked as if the queen had betrayed him.

Ashamed, the queen touched his face. “Oh, of course not. I know you’re loyal, and I’ve never doubted you. I just wanted to ask her a few questions.”

“Then why did you wait until I wasn’t around? Why did you purposely do it behind my back? Was it because there were things you didn’t want me to hear?” Despite half-kneeling, his manner was so forceful that the queen felt overwhelmed.

Lily looked at the two and guessed what it was all about. Suddenly, she burst into laughter, disrupting the tense situation.

The two turned to her, and Fred grew angrier. “What are you laughing at?!”

“I just find your customs interesting. Is that how a subject expresses their loyalty in Yudonia? By interrogating the queen?” Lily ensured her mocking tone was apparent.

“She’s not devoted to you, Your Majesty. As I said, Hylanders are not to be trusted. I’m the only one who’s loyal to you.” Fred put one hand on his chest and bowed to show his allegiance.

The queen nodded. “I understand, but I hope you can keep the whole thing under wraps. The incident at the research institute had already alarmed the local government, and they’re investigating it.

“If this gets out, there will be significant implications and media coverage on an international level…”

She did not finish her sentence because she knew Fred would understand.
