Chapter 2248


    "Your Highness, I know you''re upset and worried about Her Majesty''s safety, but what matters most is


    to locate her now. You can punish me however you like after she returns safely. I know I''ve failed you


    and her," Fred said earnestly.


    "Then tell me, how am I supposed to find her?" Ross gazed coldly at him.


    Fred answered, "It''s best if someone could look for Her Majesty so we know she''s safe."


    "Are you suggesting I approach the Hydend government?" Ross said, raising his brow.


    Fred shook his head. "Of course not! The less people know about it, the better. If not, this would put


    Her Majesty in even greater danger."


    "You don’t want to alert the authorities here? Fred, do you think we''re in our country? Would they let


    you do whatever you like in Hydend?" Ross mmed the coffee table.


    Startled, Fred continued, "Your Highness, I know I might sound unreasonable, but think about it. If this


    gets out, it’ll endanger Her Majesty, and the government here will know she has been secretly looking


    around the country.


    “It would significantly impact the ties between our countries and how the world sees us. Therefore, we


    can only do it in secret," Fred said.


    Ross sipped some water and asked, "Can''t we track her phone''s location?"


    "We tried. We could no longer trach Her Majesty after herst contact with me. I figure she must’ve


    gone to a more remote area. As you know, there are many mountainous regions in Hydend, and she


    might not be getting any signal there."


    His exnation sounded reasonable, but Ross was upset. "You knew she was going on a long journey,


    yet you allowed her to go all alone? What the hell were you thinking?"


    "Your Highness, I wanted to keep herpany but was tied up with my work. If I were absent for too


    long, people might get suspicious. Moreover, Her Majesty didn''t want to attract too much attention and


    insisted on going on a journey alone—"


    Ross interrupted, "A journey for what?"


    "She is trying to find ancient books on medicine and healing traditions among the local tribes. I''m


    unsure because she hasn''t told me in detail." Scratching his head, Fred looked quite puzzled.


    "You knew nothing, yet you allowed her to put herself in danger?" Ross red at him. "You should be

    ashamed of yourself!"


    "I couldn''t stop her, Your Highness!" Fred eximed innocently. "Besides, she only brought several


    guards and attendants and hurriedly left. I… Your Highness, let''s not dy it any longer. You must


    locate Her Majesty as soon as possible before anything bad happens!"
