Chapter 1718: If you beat them, they will naturally behave!
In the face of imminent danger, with limited time and energy, Selena was the bravest empress ever to
get married and enter the bridal chamber!
Osvaldo's gaze made Selena's back feel a bit prickly. She changed the subject and asked, "Where did
you go?"
Waking up early in the morning without seeing anyone by her side, Selena couldn't say she felt
completely fine. Osvaldo stared at her for a few seconds before responding, "I went to see my 'savior'
and asked him some questions."
Selena suddenly remembered that she hadn't asked Osvaldo about what happened when he
disappeared.
She took Osvaldo's hand and led him back to their bedroom. The newlyweds locked themselves in
their room and whispered sweet nothings.
An hour later, an award was presented from within the royal court directly to their hotel room. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
The family of three who received this reward were overjoyed but also fearful. Out of guilt, they left the
central city on that same day.
At noon, after having lunch with Osvaldo by her side watching her busy schedule all morning long,
Selena touched his hair affectionately as he said goodbye. "Luke is here; I'm going out to meet them."
Selena lifted her head from behind her desk with a slight smile on her face. "I still owe Mr. Jordan a
meal; once things calm down around here I'll go visit our estate."
She walked out personally like any ordinary wife would do for their husband - helping Osvaldo adjust
his collar before saying goodbye,"Come back soon."
Osvaldo looked into Selena's eyes for a moment before speaking up suddenly,"Selena..."
Selene opened up wide-eyed looking at him expectantly.
Osvaldo lowered his head kissing gently upon her forehead,"I'll be coming home late tonight... you
need to listen carefully now... wait until I come back okay?"
The governor secretly brought a mysterious person back with him.
That person is probably Aarav.
Since he promised Selena to help her find her brother, he had to fish out Aarav before tonight.
Within the the palace, Hanley was watching, and Spencer and Margot had also arrived. As long as
Selena was safe, there would be no problem.
Selena hesitated for a moment, then seemed to realize something. She smiled slightly with some
expectation and said softly, "Okay."
Osvaldo lifted his hand and embraced Selena in his arms.
Selena leaned against his chest and closed her eyes.
...
As if sensing an unusual tension in the air, on this night all households in the central city had already
closed their doors early. Even on the usually decadent streets where lights were always on at
nightclubs or bars there was no business going on.
At seven o'clock when it was completely dark outside, strong footsteps broke through the silence of the
palace.
Stanley stood in front of the palace's gate looking at Lillian across from him along with numerous
guards carrying knives and guns behind her. He smiled slightly but his sharpness almost overflowed
from beneath his eyes,"Miss Governor, His Majesty does not wish to see any outsiders today so please
leave."
Lillian raised an eyebrow with a shallow smile as she looked up at the palace's magnificent gates,"Mr.
Soo, you'd better step aside or else this gate that embodies Riddle Group Empire's countless
ancestors' blood sweat will not be able to protect itself."
Stanley's expression sank,"His Majesty has ordered that Miss Governor may enter but you--"
His gaze fell on the guards behind Lillian, and the killing intent almost spilled out from their bodies.
"Just stay here!"
Lillian's eyes turned resolute as she slowly raised the knife in her hand, and with a heavy swing, she
exclaimed, "Kill!"
The sky-high blood-red color and killing intent, in an instant, spread throughout the entire royal court.
The ground was covered with red fresh blood, which quickly gathered into a stream.
From a long distance away, the strong smell of blood made ordinary people hold onto their bodies and
shiver.
A young woman in armor, stepping on a ground of blood, under the protection of the guards, rushed
into the royal court and slowly walked into the council chamber.
In the quiet conference room, Selena was also dressed in armor and had a knife at her side. She sat
high on the throne, watching Lillian walk in from outside the door.
Her dark eyes, tranquil as a deep pool, just like those years gone by.
Lillian raised the knife in her hand, stained with fresh blood, and aimed it at Selena on the throne. "Your
Majesty, you have been sitting in that position for too long. It's time to step down."
Selena looked at the person standing on the bright red carpet, her eyes and tone equally cold, "Have
you ever been willing in all these years?"
"I am very grateful for your many years of dedication to the Empire!" Lillian sneered, "After you die, I
will posthumously confer a title on you and let the descendants of the Empire remember and be
grateful to you for generations to come!"
Selena smiled and said, "You owe me a favor, do you remember?"
When Lillian went to redeem Robert, she owed Selena a favor because she lost three treasures to her.
Lillian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please!"
Both she and her are aware that as members of the royal family, it is not allowed for them to demand
that the other side lay down their weapons and surrender directly.
"They will win in their own way!" Selena said coldly, "Withdraw your large artillery! The outcome
between us is in our own hands."
Lillian pondered for a few seconds and smiled, "Okay."
As the two ladies of the Riddle Group Empire, even if they fought to the death, they would not destroy
the foundation of the Riddle Group because of internal strife and give those with ulterior motives an
opportunity.
Furthermore, Selena had Gaia in her hands. Once a large-scale artillery war broke out, Lillian wouldn't
gain any advantage.
Selena drew her knife from her side and stepped down from the throne step by step. "In this generation
of the empire, there are only you and me. I once thought that we would become good sisters."
Lillian held her own knife and walked forward. "If you are willing to fulfill my wish, I don't necessarily
have to obtain this position. And also..."
This generation of empire was not just about them.
Selena smiled. "The bloodline of Riddle Group Empire is rare but each one is an incredibly
troublesome bastard!"
"I have been thinking for a long time about how to discipline these disobedient bastards. Later on I
realized that if they don't listen then we can only beat them up first!"
"After being beaten into submission they will naturally behave!"
With those words spoken Selena suddenly raised her hand as she slashed at Lillian's face with all her
might.
Lillian dodged sideways while turning her wrist so that the blade pointed straight at Selena's throat.
She laughed,"After behaving themselves we can judge them before killing them right? Just like... how
you personally killed your Uncle David!"
"Selena when it comes to ruthlessness you're no match for me!"
With a resounding clang, the sound of blades colliding echoed through the night, almost piercing one's
eardrums.
Selena's gaze turned completely cold as she kicked her long legs towards Lillian. "Everyone should
pay for the sins they've committed! That's the price of being a queen!"
Lillian also lifted her leg and swept it towards Selena with a sneer. "Selena, are you really happy being
this queen?"
