"Your Majesty, you're awake!" The man standing next to the bed hurried over, his exceptionally handsome face showing a rare loss of composure.
The woman on the bed heard the voice and turned her head in confusion.
As the young man's gaze met hers, his gentle and excited expression suddenly changed. His slender hand suddenly grabbed the tender neck, "You're not her, who are you?!"
The girl's clear eyes reflected the young man's panicked face, and in the next second, tears suddenly fell.
...
In the capital city.
Selena looked up at the night sky above her.
My princess, congratulations on your engagement...
In this world, there was only one person who would call her princess.
In the end, it was still that person, the first to offer her the blessings of a family member.
Selena's long eyelashes trembled, and a sour feeling surged in her heart.
Osvaldo's slender fingers gently brushed over her eyes, "Selena, don't be sad."
Selena blinked and smiled, "Osvaldo, let's go home."
Today, she was engaged.
So she needed to rest well and be the most beautiful bride tomorrow.
Osvaldo picked her up and got into the car.
Before leaving, Selena gave an order, "Protect him in secret and don't disturb him."
Osvaldo took Selena back to the Turner family.
Oscar and Patrick were both not there, and the servants of the Turner family waited in the hall. When they saw Osvaldo bringing Selena back, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, the young master just called and asked you to come back and rest well, and prepare for tomorrow's engagement banquet. They will handle everything else."
The Turner family was sparsely populated, and with both male masters occupied with matters, there was no way to take care of the family. Perhaps as compensation, the usually austere and antique Turner family mansion was rarely decorated with colorful luxury.
At a glance, it was red everywhere, exuding a festive atmosphere.
Selena stood in the hall, looking up at Osvaldo.
According to the customs of H Country, the engagement ceremony was usually held at the bride's home, and Osvaldo would bring the betrothal gifts to the Turner family to pick her up the next day.
Osvaldo looked at Selena's pale features. The poison in her body had just been cleared out, so for safety reasons, she wore a mask in the presence of outsiders.
Osvaldo removed the mask from her face and, before Selena could speak, lowered his head and kissed her luscious red lips.
After the kiss, Selena's face turned flushing.
Osvaldo tenderly held her in his arms, his thin lips against her ear. "Wait for me," he said.
Selena nestled against his chest, smiling sweetly. "Okay."
Osvaldo personally escorted her back to her room before reluctantly leaving.
Selena stood at the window, watching Osvaldo's car drive away from the Turner family before turning to look at her beautiful wedding dress, hanging beside the bed with exquisite embroidery.
She looked at the vibrant red wedding gown, the jewelry on the table, and the festive decorations all over the room. It wasn't until now that she finally felt a sense of reality about her engagement today.
Tomorrow, she would become Osvaldo's true fiancée, not as anyone else, but as her true self.
Selena tilted her head slightly, gazing out at the tranquil night sky outside the window. A shy and hopeful smile appeared on her beautiful face.
At dawn, Patrick returned home with exhausted steps.
The butler, who had also not slept all night, felt relieved when he saw the young master return safely. "Young master."
Patrick rubbed his temples. "Where's Selena?"
