Chapter 1693 Selena
Selena walked into the Rose Palace, and the waiting maids inside all bowed to her before silently
leaving. In the quiet space, Selena approached the door step by step. As she was about to push open
the door, her heart suddenly skipped a beat for no apparent reason. It seemed like something beyond
her control was about to happen.
Selena rubbed her eyelids with her hand and tried to calm herself down. The person Stanley brought
her to see shouldn't be someone who would harm her, right? Then where did this ominous feeling
come from?
Seeing Selena stop in place, Stanley turned around and asked gently, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Selena remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "I need to make a phone call. I'll be back
soon."
Stanley watched as Selena walked away step by step until she reached the stairs and took out her
phone to call Osvaldo.
"Selena, what's up?" Osvaldo answered quickly on his end of the line.
She heard the sound of a racing car in the background; Osvaldo must have gone out already.
She remembered that he had told her last night that he was going to meet someone today and would
tell her about his relationship with that big brother when he came back.
Osvaldo would never deceive her. If he said he would tell her, then he definitely would. Even if the
existence of that big brother might hurt her, he wouldn't hide it from her. Because he knew what she
wanted most. And this man must have been prepared to make sure she wouldn't be sad or upset while
telling her the truth.
Selena smiled slightly and said, "Osvaldo, I'm at the suburban palace waiting for you to finish your Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
business and come pick me up, okay?"
She usually wouldn't make such a demanding request. But tonight... for some reason she really wanted
to see him.
Osvaldo's voice was gentle and indulgent as always. "Okay." He seemed to check his watch before
giving a definite time: "I'll come get you in forty minutes."
Selena curved her lips into a smile and replied, "I'll be waiting for you."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Selena looked up at the gradually darkening sky before turning around and
walking into the Rose Palace.
Stanley watched as she walked back towards him and asked softly," What's wrong?"
Selena shook her head before looking up at him with determination in her eyes," Stanley... I will
succeed in avenging Preston and others... right?"
Stanley looked at her with a hint of anxiety in her eyes, his voice firm. "Yes, Your Highness, you will
return to that position and seek revenge for everyone."
Selena smiled and pushed away the gloom in her heart as she opened the door.
At the same time, a black sports car parked outside the Wang mansion. Osvaldo got out of the car - he
was the one Selena had just called on the phone. His wife was always rational and level-headed; it was
rare for her to make such an irrational request.
Osvaldo felt uneasy about it all.
He even considered turning around to find Selena...
But before he could act on that thought, someone walked out from inside Wang's mansion and said,
"Excuse me sir."
Horace looked at the young man standing before him.
Even though Horace had been focused on taking care of Selena when she was sick all those years
ago, he still remembered this young man who had saved his little mistress's life.
For one thing, his appearance made him unforgettable.
Upon investigation of the mercenary group that had kidnapped Selena, they discovered a crazed
woman who revealed that a twelve-year-old boy had killed all of the mercenaries and burned down
their hideout to rescue Selena. The thought of a twelve-year-old with such courage and character was
chilling. But everything the boy did was for Selena. It could be said that Selena changed Osvaldo's life.
Perhaps it was because of this reason that the monarch allowed Selena to stay by his side in the past
year.
Osvaldo walked into the palace, his presence clashing with its atmosphere. As he passed by another
person, he caught a glimpse of their face before entering.
Selena pushed open the door, causing a slight noise that startled the girl lying on her stomach on top of
a carpet. The girl wore a snow-white dress and lifted her clear deer-like eyes towards where Selena
stood at the doorway.
In an instant, two girls unexpectedly locked eyes with each other.
Selena suddenly saw that familiar face and froze in place as her mind buzzed loudly. The atmosphere
completely solidified during this moment as she stared intently at the person across from her, observing
every detail from head to toe.
After confirming something, she murmured, "Selena?"
Under the intense gaze of the young girl, she couldn't help but tremble.
She stood up, her face full of panic and confusion. "... I..."
Selena looked at those clear eyes that seemed to see through everything and slowly raised her hand to
cover her own eyes.
She remembered many details from the past that she had ignored before.
Why didn't her father and mother come to find her in that year?
Why did Stanley keep saying that she would return to that position?
Why did Patrick tell her when they left the capital that someone from the Turner family was in the
central city?
During the election for research institute president, Freddie used information to threaten someone from
the Turner family...
Selena took a deep breath and suppressed all of the turbulent emotions inside of herself.
She looked at Selena and tried to control her emotions as much as possible. "This isn't your fault. Don't
be afraid."
After speaking, she turned around and looked at Stanley. "Come with me."
Stanley smiled reassuringly at Selena before turning around and following Selena out.
Selena stood in the hallway for a while before finally speaking up. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Stanley replied calmly, "If we leaked any information beforehand, Miss Lillian wouldn't have let it go."
Selena took a deep breath. It was true. Once Lillian got even the slightest hint of her existence, she
would stop at nothing to kill her.
But now... now was the perfect time.
Stanley looked at her expression and furrowed his brow. "Your Majesty, are you upset?"
She had just solved the most difficult problem; shouldn't she be happy?
"No," Selena said softly. "It's just... complicated. Stanley, you know how it feels to watch someone use
your body as their own, to see them looking back at you with your own face..."
She chuckled bitterly. "I'm sure Selena feels just as uncomfortable."
"We may be two different people, but somehow we've both lost ourselves and become each other..."
Selena couldn't help but care about losing everything after her death and becoming someone else.
But before this moment, she hadn't seen it with her own eyes so she could push down that sense of
discomfort.
Now that another girl stood in front of her alive and well, she couldn't ignore this fact any longer.
"That's not true," Stanley looked at her with an all-encompassing tenderness in his eyes. "Selena, you
are who you are - no one will mistake either of you."
