Still, the queen looked slightly better. She no longer looked like she was on the verge of death. Fred quickly answered, "Yes, my queen?"

"You haven't told me what would happen if the experiment doesn't work," the queen asked.

"It will, Your Majesty," he smiled, patting the back of her hand. Even so, the queen stared coldly at him. After a while, Fred said, "If it doesn't work, we'll go with another plan. Still, I doubt you'll be able to see it." "You have a backup plan?" The queen snorted. "So you are hiding something from me after all."

"Everyone has a secret, Your Majesty. Whatever it is, rest assured that I've always put you first," Fred said earnestly with a smile.

"What's your backup plan?" the queen asked, no longer getting agitated by what he said. Even if she would, she was too weak for that.

"Well..." Fred was reluctant to tell her, saying, "There's no need for you to know, Your Majesty. If the experiment works, we won't need the backup plan. If it doesn't, you won't even be around when we implement it, will you?"

"Fred, you..." Infuriated, she struggled to sit up. However, she could not even pull her hand out of his grip.

"You shouldn't get worked up now, Your Majesty. It's bad for your health," Fred quickly said as he supported her, "Just rest well, okay? You'll have a new life tomorrow!"

"Fred, have you bought my people here?" Narrowing her eyes slightly, the queen said, "You've prepared for this since two years ago, huh?"

At that moment, Fred knew it was time to drop his act. He let her hand go and got up, laughing, "Of course, Your Majesty. Otherwise, how could I achieve so much in such a short time, let alone bring forward the experiment?

"You should be grateful to have someone as capable as me around. Whether or not it succeeds, you'll be the first to undergo such a monumental experiment. Shouldn't you be happy about it?"

Fred looked somewhat manic and fierce.

The queen's face twitched with anger as she glared at him.
