Rebirth To Be The Revenge Queen

Chapter 1712 - Osvaldo In Lillian's eyes, there was a glimmer of nostalgia. "The emperor asked us, why do we want to becan emperor?" "| said, for the empire." "Selena said, for the people.” "The next day, the emperor announced that Selena would be the next heir to the throne." "A month later, Selena ascended to the throne and becthe youngest emperor in Central City's history." At that tthey were only five and six years old respectively. They were still too young to fully understand their answers if they were placed in an ordinary family.

It was precisely because of their youth that their answers were pure and true from deep within their hearts.

The man's lips curved into a smile. One could almost imagine how little Selena was just a chubby baby at that twhen she answered her father with her milky voice. At her age back then she couldn't fully comprehend or appreciate what she had said.

But thirteen years later, this girl had been working hard towards her choice ever since. She did it well - better than anyone else could have done it.

A hint of pride appeared in his otherwise calm eyes like still water.

Lillian looked at his smile with a momentary daze on her face. "Even until today | don't regret my answer back then." For Lillian, faith and truth are unchanging things that can never be erased or altered.

"Since then | knew there would only be one person between Selena andwho will survive this life," she added solemnly.

Selena stood in the way of her ambition, and she couldn't let Selena live. But at the moment Selena realized her ambition, for Selena's own beliefs, she also couldn't tolerate her living. If she didn't take action first and kill Selena, sooner or later, Selena would hold a knife to her neck just like how she killed their Uncle David! The biggest difference between her and Selena was that she was even more ruthless than Selena! The man turned his head and finally looked at Lillian's face. His voice was very soft, with an unprecedented tenderness and coldness. "From the moment we both had life breaths, we have been together. We are the closest people in the world. If she hurts, | will feel pain; if she dies, | will die too... This is something that no one can cut off." Lillian looked directly into those pitch-black eyes and smiled gently. "Aarav, maybe if it were you sitting in that seat instead of me..." She trailed off but continued to look at him with a warm affection only reserved for loved ones.

He should have been the one sitting in that position after all.

Aarav shifted his gaze away from hers as he spoke softly: "Miss Governor-General Lillian... you've crossed a line." Lillian smiled slightly as starlight seemed to twinkle within her clear peach blossom eyes - cold yet beautiful - "I just wanted to talk with you." After all today was his sister's wedding day but he couldn't be there himself; unable to lead his sister by hand towards another man who would becresponsible for shaping her future.

He must be feeling sad about it all...

And she... wanted to accompany him.

Aarav looked in the direction of the palace, his lips curling up.

There would indeed be a wedding today.

But who the male lead would be... was uncertain! His sister, however, would definitely be very happy! Lillian was about to speak when suddenly there was a commotion outside the door and Robert burst in. "Miss Governor, His Majesty has run away from the wedding--" But when Robert's gaze fell on Aarav standing by the French window, his expression froze completely.

As if afraid that he hadn't seen clearly enough, Aarav turned around deliberately. His icy gaze swept over Robert's face with bone-chilling coldness and contempt.

Robert stared at that face which would undoubtedly cause a huge stir within Central City. The ice-cold disdain and mockery in those eyes sent shivers down his spine instantly.

He clenched his fists tightly as he looked at Selena's face which bore an uncanny resemblance to Lillian both in looks and temperament. This shock made him even more angry and panicked than when Stanley had told him that Lillian had been hiding someone from him.

Looking at Selena's nonchalant expression with disbelief mixed with deep sadness and disappointment, Robert said: "Miss Lillian... you didn't use this ready-made leverage to threaten Selena?!" Lillian stood up abruptly: "Trespassing into Governor Hall's mansion is a serious crime! Lock Mr. Hall up until he has calmed down before releasing him again!" "All guards who are found negligent will be punished by military law!" With the cold command of the woman, a maid stepped forward and draped Lillian's just-removed cloak over her shoulders.

Lillian replaced her hat and turned to Aarav with a slight smile. "Rest well, I'll csee you again when | have time." Then she lifted her foot and walked towards the door.

As soon as she stepped out of the gate, all of Lillian's softness and warmth vanished in an instant.

Her sharp gaze fixed on the palace's direction. "Find out why the queen ran away from marriage?!" The person beside her replied, "It's still under investigation. The Grand Sacrifice is sending people to find the queen, and the palace is trying their best to keep this news under wraps..." After all, once news of the queen running away from marriage spread, her reputation would instantly collapse.

Lillian gave a cold smile. "In that case, lethelp spread it around so that all nobles and commoners know what kind of irresponsible monarch our Majesty truly is!" "Yes!" "Also," Lillian's eyes suddenly sharpened. "Find out why exactly did Queen run away from marriage!" And lastly - if it has anything to do with that man...

Selena arrived alone at Rose Palace where she had lost her beloved man one year ago along with their memories together.

She didn't know where to find him, but she remembered he said he would cback for her. So, she waited for him in the sspot.

Selena firmly believed that as long as she kept waiting, he would eventually return.

After a year had passed, the once barren Rose Palace was now filled with new flowers and trees. It seemed like they knew how much this place meant to the queen and so it was specially treated by the research institute.

A year later, this place had becgreen and beautiful again with flowers blooming everywhere. Everything looked so perfect as if nothing had ever happened except... that person.

Selena stood in front of the swing thinking about Nevaeh who had passed away. Was she also waiting for Callum just like Selena was? Callum hadn't returned in twenty years but Osvaldo promised her that he wouldn't turn her into another Nevaeh nor becanother Callum.

As Selena looked at all the flowers and plants around her, tears streamed down her face as she called out his nover and over again.
