Nick obediently let the person holding his hand lead him to the operating table. Lily felt sorrowful as she watched. The boy probably did not even know they were going to experiment on him.
The organization had taken him away from his father, and he was about to die as a lab rat.
"You can't do this, Your Majesty!" Lily looked over her shoulder and said to the queen, "You know how risky the experiment is. How can you still proceed? You should stop the whole thing immediately!"
Fred frantically nodded as he lay on the operating table, agreeing with Lily for the first time. "That's right! You should stop it right away!"
The queen ignored him, slowly turned toward Lily, and said calmly, "You're right. It's risky, so I need someone to test it for me."
Lily was at a loss for words.
She knew about the experiments on living human beings and other creations but chose not to do anything.
She could not get involved because of who she was, not wanting to taint her reputation. Hence, the fault would lie with Fred, and it would have nothing to do with her.
Now, it was time to see if their efforts paid off.
