Fred was an efficient man. He promptly gave Rhea the information she requested. She was shocked to learn he wanted her to hypnotize a Yudonian prince.

After reviewing the prince's profile, she understood his characteristics but couldn't comprehend why Fred wanted to control him instead of the queen. "Everyone knows the queen has ruled for decades," she mused. "She has three sons and grandchildren, but no clear heir. So, why hypnotize Prince Ross? How does Fred know he'll become king?"

Unable to solve the puzzle, Rhea dared not question Fred. Instead, she meticulously studied Ross's file, hoping to impress Fred with her competence. "Well, since I'll meet the prince soon, I'll play it by ear," she decided.

That evening, Fred inquired, "How's your preparation progressing?"

"I'm ready, Your Grace," Rhea replied. "I've memorized everything about the prince. You can rely on me to succeed."

Fred scrutinized her, assessing her honesty. He nodded. "I look forward to it, then."

"When will we proceed?" Rhea asked.

Fred raised a hand. "There's no rush. I'll inform you when the time is right. For now, relax and prepare. Also…"

He paused, then said meaningfully, "I'm more interested in the invisibility potion than the hypnosis. When can you develop it?"

Rhea frowned. "With the vaccine development center seized, I lack the equipment and personnel. I'm afraid…"

She intended to use this as an excuse, but Fred anticipated her, smiling. "Don't worry, you'll have everything you need."

He paused thoughtfully. "If you wish, I'll send you to Yudonia, where you can do anything. Create the invisibility potion, and I'll ensure everyone assists you."

Rhea was thrilled; this was her greatest desire. She craved the attention, the power to lead. She thought, Everyone should recognize my formidable nature. They should fear and respect me, not Lily. What has she done to deserve all the attention?
