Chapter 1707: You're not looking for a man.
Before leaving the palace, Lillian turned around for one last look at the majestic and magnificent palace
behind her.
Her mother had calculated against her, but what monarch didn't have defenses against their own
mother?
If it weren't for that mysterious person who suddenly sent information about "the light of the gods" at
that time, they would have been sure to lose everything!
Although the situation now was not yet dire, it was impossible for her to become an empress in a
legitimate way.
Fortunately, without that man as a backing, whether she and Selena succeeded or failed... it was all in
their own hands!
...
After Lillian left, Selena snorted coldly and got up from the throne before walking into the inner court.
Stanley looked at her back with deep eyes.
When Selena returned to her bedroom later on with serious brows and eyes, she suddenly smiled.
"Carly."
A woman of elegant temperament guarding outside of the hall walked in. "What's wrong your
highness?"
Selena's gaze fell on Carly's face as she smiled subtly. "I need you to do something for me. This is
something only you and I know about; no third person can find out."
Carly was arranged by Madam Samantha to take care of Selena's daily life needs since childhood so
naturally she doted on her like a child.
But seeing Selena's expression right now made Carly feel uneasy inside. She tentatively asked: "What
is it your highness wants me to do?"
Selena smiled again. "You'll secretly take someone with you into central city... find someone who is
handsome with an excellent figure; he's gentle like a gentleman but also skilled in fighting especially
using knives; he writes love letters and gives flowers to girls while speaking softly - basically just my
type."
"I found him. Whether it's by asking, stealing, or kidnapping, bring him back to me immediately!" Selena
declared.
"He made her wait so long, he deserves a little 'lesson'," she added with a huff.
"Your Highness," Carly began tentatively.
"What you're looking for isn't just any man. He's extraordinary," Carly continued.
"And if Mr. Soo finds out that I helped you look for this man outside the palace walls, he'll have my
head on a platter," she warned Selena.
Carly cleared her throat softly before asking, "But Your Highness... what if we can't find him?"
Selena's smile faded as she replied firmly, "Then we keep searching until we do."
Carly nodded in understanding and was about to follow Selena's orders when the queen suddenly
turned around and fixed her gaze on Carly.
"Carly... during the year I was unconscious... did I ever leave the palace? Did I meet anyone else?"
Selena asked with intensity in her voice.
"No Your Highness. After being brought back from the battlefield and into Rose Palace by Mr. Soo
himself, you remained there until one year ago when Rose Palace was attacked by unknown assailants
and Govener was gravely injured. It was then that you woke up..." Carly explained calmly while
maintaining eye contact with Selena throughout their conversation.
Selena fell silent at this information - it wasn't new to her but still weighed heavily on her mind
nonetheless - before nodding slowly in acknowledgement of what had been said thus far.
And the people around her were all carefully selected by her father and mother since childhood, with no
possibility of complete betrayal.
Selena waved her hand, "You can go now."
Carly bowed and stepped back.
Selena's gaze slowly fell on the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window. "You clearly existed before,
why... does no one know?" This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Could it be that during the year she was in a coma, her soul went to another place and met this
person?!
If they really couldn't find him in Central City, they would have to go elsewhere to look for him.
Just as Selena was thinking about where to look for him, Stanley walked in.
He looked at Selena's absent-minded appearance and something flashed in his eyes. "Your Highness."
Selena heard his voice and turned around with a smile. "Stanley, you came just in time. There's
something I need you to investigate."
Stanley narrowed his eyes.
Selena stood upright inside her bedroom, looking towards the direction of the administrative hall with a
slightly cold expression. "You said before that Lillian secretly brought someone back. Go check who
that person is."
Because of her aunt's education, even more unfeeling than herself,
This kind of person who couldn't find any weaknesses for over twenty years suddenly brought
someone back secretly... no matter how you think about it, it's worth paying attention to.
Stanley spoke coldly,"I've already investigated but Miss Governor is very protective of this person; even
Princess Long and Robert seem unaware of their existence..."
The only reason Stanley knew was purely by chance.
Or maybe it was the other party who intentionally let his people discover him?
Selena's face showed a hint of confusion, and her expression became much more serious.
If even Robert didn't know about the other party's existence, then investigating would definitely not be
an easy task.
Who... is worth Lillian treating so cautiously?
Selena thought quietly for a moment before making a decision. "We'll do whatever it takes to find out."
Stanley nodded in agreement, but as he looked at Selena, he couldn't see any signs of excitement or
anticipation for their upcoming wedding. His eyes were dark and serious. "Your Majesty, the date for
the wedding has already been set. You should start preparing."
Selena was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter. "Stanley, others may not know this
but you should! It's just a formality; there's no need to be so serious about it... but..."
She took a few steps forward and looked towards the direction of Central City with a smile on her lips.
"Central City will probably be bustling these days; I want to go out and take a look..."
As Stanley watched her absent-mindedness, he slowly lowered his eyelashes.
...
The news of the Queen's wedding quickly spread throughout every corner of Central City.
Nobles from all over began arriving one after another to witness the ceremony; everyone seemed
immersed in joyous celebration.
...
The wind blowing from between mines carried with it some kind of familiar scent that seemed engraved
deep within one's bones as it brushed against their face.
The man standing at the bow suddenly lifted his lashes like black veils revealing cold and eerie ghostly
eyes.
He gazed at the top city in the world, and after a few seconds, his slender fingers slowly traced over his
heart.
Then, the man took a step forward and set foot on this land without hesitation, wearing black leather
shoes.
...
After telling Stanley goodbye, Selena put on a mask and secretly left the palace in a carriage.
Selena pondered whether or not to go to the research institute and ask Gaia for help finding someone.
The problem was that she had nothing to offer except her imagination. Even with Gaia's vast powers, it
seemed unlikely that she could conjure up someone out of thin air.
Although Selena knew it was unlikely, she refused to give up any hope and went to the research
institute herself.
