His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 2326

"If you must know, many of the officials are on my side. Just leave the country to me. It's time for you to enjoy your retirement," he said with a smile, finally revealing his ambition to rule Yudonia.

The queen sneered. "Oh, yeah? Who are these people who are backing you?"

"Why? Do you plan to take them out?" Fred smiled. "It's a pity that you won't have the chance.

"Come now, Your Majesty. You could simply cooperate with me and share in the joy of success with me. Why must you make a scene?" Turning around, he pointed toward her men. "People will only treat you and your men as a joke."

He then said to his guards cheerfully, "Guys, take them away, and don't let anyone come in here again without my permission! We're about to begin the greatest experiment ever done."

However, his men stayed in their spot as if they hadn't heard him.

Noticing Fred's upset look, Rhea scolded, "Hey, didn't you guys hear what the duke said? Seize them!"

Hearing her words, the guards turned and pointed their guns at her.

Alarmed, Rhea took a step back and paled. "Have you guys gone mad? Not me! Seize her… No, them! Your Grace…" She looked toward Fred for help.

Frowning, Fred looked around them and caught on to what was happening. "What are you doing?"

No one answered him.

The queen then piped up, "Don't you get it yet, Fred?"

At this moment, all the men, including the guards who came in earlier, pointed their guns at Fred. He stared at them in disbelief before shaking his head and chuckling. "No, this is impossible. How can this be?"

"Nothing’s impossible, Fred. I taught you to always be prepared, didn't I?" The queen looked calm.

At that moment, Fred realized why she had been so composed all along. It wasn't because she was brave but because she was well-prepared.

He simply couldn't understand how she had managed to keep him in the dark.

"But I am prepared! I did as you taught me!”

He wondered, 'I've thought of everything! What did I miss?!'
