The following day, Ross left the embassy and pulled onto the highway. Not wanting anyone to know where he was going, he did not
take a plane and chose to travel by car. He was to leave Kingsland, switch cars, and head south to look for the queen.
Standing on the balcony, Fred watched the car leave with a satisfied smile. Rhea stood by his side, relieved to see his smile.
"If Ross can’t find the queen, he will return," Rhea said tentatively.

Fred then stretched, and just then, his phone rang. As he picked up his phone, he glanced at Rhea. Picking up on his signal, she left
and gently closed the door behind her.
He then answered the call and was pleased to hear the caller say, "Your Grace, we've found the miracle doctor."
