Chapter 1661: Banquet Selena pondered as she followed the two maids into the grand hall. The doors were wide open, and several guards in armor stood with their heavy iron swords at their sides. Meanwhile, numerous nobles dressed in fine attire entered in pairs along the red carpet.
The two maids led Selena to a room on the second floor. "Your Highness, there is still half an hour before the banquet begins. Rest here for a while." This banquet was held specifically for Selena, and she naturally had to make a grand entrance. Standing at the balcony on the second floor, Selena peered through a gap and observed what was happening below.
The palace was decorated extravagantly with various colored crystals covering its floors; walking on them felt like being surrounded by colorful halos of light. Looking up revealed nothing but ornate carvings and paintings.
Selena's gaze fell upon a group of noble girls who were dressed beautifully and holding luxurious fans.

"Does Madam recognize this righteous lady? Is she really similar to Her Majesty?" one girl asked another.
"She should be similar, right? After Her Majesty passed away, many people tried to imitate her appearance but failed; only this one managed to gain favor from His Majesty... she must have some extraordinary qualities," replied another girl.
"Can someone really win favor just by having a face that resembles Her Majesty's?" scoffed another girl.
"Hmph! Her Majesty had countless dignities; how dare an outsider try to replace her just because of her face? It's simply ridiculous!" exclaimed yet another girl.
"You're right! How much has Her Majesty contributed to our central city? She is irreplaceable! Now that someone dares defile her memory like this, we must give this new princess an opportunity to understand her true identity..." said one maid nervously as they watched these young ladies recklessly probe around dangerous territory.
Selena listened with interest. Back in her old place, no one dared to speak any improper words in front of her.
Whether it was out of jealousy, anger, or respect... this was the first time she heard someone talk about herself.
Leaving that place allowed her to see more diverse scenery. Suddenly there was a commotion outside the door and Selena looked up to see Lillian and Robert walking in. Lillian had clearly dressed up for the occasion with her hair pulled back and a silver fishtail dress that accentuated her cool peach blossom eyes making them even more dazzling.

As soon as she appeared, she became the center of attention at the party. Her noble and powerful aura instantly overshadowed all the other noble young ladies present at the scene. Even those who were gossiping about Selena just now immediately fell silent and respectfully looked over.
"Miss Governor, welcome." Lillian smiled slightly. "Today we are here to celebrate Mrs.'s daughter's happy arrival so please don't feel restrained." After everyone dispersed, Lillian took a glass from Robert's hand and raised it towards Selena on the second floor as a toast.
Selena smiled back at her while Robert noticed Selena too but tightened his lips saying: "The Queen must have made full preparations for this return trip since Sacred Pearl is still in her hands; she will definitely be unfavorable towards you..." "Lilian," said Lillian calmly,"calm down; you're too nervous." Perhaps it wasn't just nerves, but the subconscious fear and anxiety of having to face someone you once killed with your own hands, who has now reappeared and could potentially take away the person you cherish most.
Robert closed his eyes slightly.
Lillian's voice was cold. "Do you think that for His Majesty, killing me is ultimately more important than seeking justice for those heroes?"
