Fred looked apologetic. "I had my reasons for lying to you, Your Highness. Her Majesty forbadefrom telling anyone."
"So you're saying my mom didn't want you to tellwhere she is?" Knowing so, Ross relaxed and leaned back, gazing
suspiciously at Fred with a raised brow.
"I'm afraid so." Fred nodded. "Her Majesty said | must keep it a secret before she left. Her Majesty hasn't contactedsince. She
probably doesn't wantto know where she is, either. That's why | didn't tell you about it immediately, Your Highness."
"So mysterious, huh?" Ross smiled. "Then why are you tellingnow? Aren't you defying my mom's order?"
Fred frowned and clenched his fists. Taking a step nearer, he hung his head low and said, "You're right. I'm disobeying her order

about it, Your Highness, even if it means defying her order.
"I can only count on you now, Your Highness!" He knelt on one knee and bowed as Yudonians did. He looked genuinely anxious and
worried.
Ross stared at him with his arms crossed and snorted. "Fred, you're indeed loyal to my mom, aren't you?"
