Chapter 1702: I love him, very much, very much.
Selena quickly got herself together. She didn't have the energy to deal with anything else, so as soon
as she regained her senses, she mobilized all her resources and went to find Osvaldo.
After giving the orders, Selena changed into clothes suitable for going out and took her people on a car
leaving the palace.
In the darkness of night, Stanley stood at the palace gate watching Selena's departing figure before
slowly lowering his eyelashes.
...
Since Selena left, many days had passed without any news from her. She had taken her people to the
ruins of what was once a grand palace and personally directed them in collecting bones and trying to
piece together complete bodies for those who had perished.
One day later, all traces of scorched earth were cleared away from that area and green flowers were
replanted there again.
Luckily, Osvaldo wasn't found in any genetic comparisons made by Selena's team.
Standing in front of a monument dedicated to fallen heroes, Selena deeply bowed towards their
remains which had already been interred.
For some time after that eventful day at the ruined palace site where they searched for Osvaldo but
found no trace of him despite combing through nearby cities house by house until every possible lead
was exhausted.
Finally exhausted herself when Madam Samantha came personally to pick up Selena who obediently
returned with them back to court even though it meant dragging along an extremely tired body behind
her.
After Madam Samantha put her gently into bed and left quietly afterwards only then did sleeping beauty
open up one eye ever so slightly...
The person buried deep in extreme longing and fear cannot sleep.
Selena walked to the porch, her gaze passing over the open statue of the goddess in the courtyard,
looking towards the distant night sky. Her eyes were filled with bone-deep longing as she softly called
out his name, "Osvaldo..."
Her face was pale, her eyes anxious, and her voice hoarse as she waited for the man who had
promised to come back to her.
He had said that as long as she called his name, he would come to her no matter where he was in this
world. But even though she had been calling out for him until her throat was raw, why hadn't he
returned yet?
"Osvaldo... I miss you..."
Why haven't you come back?
Suddenly a white cloak fell on Selena's shoulders.
She looked up with joy in her eyes but it quickly faded when she saw Stanley standing there instead of
Osvaldo.
Looking at Selena's pale and anxious expression, Stanley said gently,"Your Highness needs rest."
These days Selena has been traveling from city to city without a moment's peace. She used to be so
delicate and disciplined but now because of one man, she is ruining herself like this...
Selena turned around and looked at the moon above their heads. Her voice was very soft,"Stanley do
you know? From the first day I met Osvaldo he never allowed me stay up late or skip meals or be picky
about food... Even during his busiest times he always made sure someone brought me food."
"In the middle of my experiment, even if it meant risking making me angry, he would still forcibly take
me to bed when it was time."
"And what's amazing is that I can't get mad at him no matter what. As long as he comforts me, I can © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
quickly fall asleep without any distractions..."
Selena smiled slightly with a happy look in her eyes. "Before meeting him, I never knew that there was
a man who could care for me so carefully and manage to control me like this..."
This is something that even her father and mother couldn't completely achieve.
"He told me that as a girl, I should live for myself."
Stanley listened quietly as Selena talked about the little things between her and Osvaldo.
It was a world completely different from the past 18 years of her life.
Before Selena died on the battlefield, her life goals revolved around how to strengthen the empire,
develop technology, and make people live happily...
But after meeting Osvaldo, she had herself in her life.
Those small actions were not lacking in someone else's eyes but for someone like Selena who was
once a queen. She found what she had been missing since childhood.
She was like a phoenix soaring in the sky.
And now someone has grabbed hold of this phoenix's line just so she can soar more freely.
Selena looked up at the night sky with half-moon missing and closed her eyes slightly. "Stanley... I love
him very much..."
Stanley looked at her pale and quiet face, gently shifting his gaze away. "Your Majesty, you should...
pull yourself together."
The recent attack on the central city has had a huge negative impact. When the Queen woke up, it
gave people a great sense of security. But after waking up, she did not come up with any plans to
appease the people's hearts, and she didn't even show her face.
After giving people hope, they were once again disappointed. Recently there have been rumors
swirling around outside causing chaos.
The officials in power took advantage of this opportunity to shake the Queen's prestige and began to
promote Lillian for power.
The empire's forces are clearly divided into two camps and are openly confronting each other; conflict
is imminent.
And because Selena has been absent for a year now, both her prestige and influence have declined
significantly.
But all of her thoughts were focused on Osvaldo; just for that man...
Stanley tightened his slender fingers as Selena opened her eyes. She knew exactly what situation she
was in. In a rational state of mind, she knew that first thing she needed to do was secure her own
position by suppressing Lillian while those heroic souls sought revenge...
Every time she thought of the word "revenge," she felt a strong resistance. If even she gave up on
finding Osvaldo, would anyone else be able to find him?
"Stanley, I don't know what to do," Selena said softly. "Every time I close my eyes, I wonder where he is
right now."
"I can't even get him to come back and see me. It must mean he's seriously injured or trapped
somewhere suffering..."
"If I don't find him soon, what if something happens to him?"
The unknown was always the scariest.
These thoughts consumed Selena's mind and made it impossible for her to focus on anything else.
Maybe one day she would be able to calm down and do everything she needed to do.
But not now.
Stanley's long fingers tapped loudly on the table as he watched Selena's anxious face. She was going
to break down soon if this continued.
With a heavy heart, Stanley closed his eyes and spoke in a low voice that could barely be heard: "I'm
sorry, Selena..."
He turned slowly and poured a cup of hot tea from the table before handing it over to Selena.
