Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo) novel Chapter 1699

Chapter 1699: I've been waiting for you.

Selena watched as a shell came hurtling towards her direction, but she had no strength left to dodge it. Everyone around her had already perished in the destruction of Little Gaia. Her slender fingers clenched tightly around the phone that was still pressed against her ear. She hadn't hung up yet, even though she wasn't sure if Osvaldo could hear her voice amidst all the chaos and gunfire.

Despite knowing that the chances were slim, Selena whispered softly, "Osvaldo, I'll wait for you... even if it's just my corpse." She only hoped that she wouldn't die too ugly of a death and let Osvaldo see her in such an unappealing state.

It was just regretful that she hadn't been able to marry him before this deadly attack occurred.

As the lethal shell drew closer and closer to Selena, she suddenly shut her eyes tight and cried out one last time: "Osvaldo!"

In an instant, there was a deafening explosion followed by towering flames erupting from where Selena stood. The land beneath her feet transformed into a sea of fire within seconds.

In the command room nearby, Robert tensed up his nerves until he finally exhaled heavily with relief after what felt like an eternity.

"Killing a great monarch is a sin that not everyone can bear. He didn't want Lillian to carry such a heavy burden, so he took action and killed Selena once. But in the end, Lillian couldn't escape her fate of killing the king with her own hands. She was even more cruel than him.

A year ago, out of respect and guilt, he chose to end the king's life with a knife and left Selena's body intact. At the same time, he left behind hidden dangers for Lillian.

And Lillian herself shattered her cousin into pieces - the very monarch she had once been loyal to. This time, even if Selena possessed something as powerful as "God's Light," an experiment that defied humanity itself, she would never have had a chance to survive.

Robert turned his head and looked at Lillian standing before him. Her gaze fell on the fiery battlefield in front of her - still firm and cold in expression but with an unusual hint of paleness on her face.

After a moment's silence, she spoke softly but cruelly: "Carpet bomb this area until there is no living thing left!" Instantly all planes and armored vehicles began preparing their artillery for attack.

Lillian raised her head one last time to look towards where Selena was located before turning away again; however just before she moved out of sight completely, she suddenly seemed to discover something important causing her eyes widen abruptly as she turned back around saying "Wait--"

Time goes back to one minute ago.

At the moment when the shell flew over, Selena thought she was done for.

She closed her eyes and felt the high temperature rushing towards her. The scorching heat made her look extremely ugly, as if she would die.

Just as she was about to be engulfed by the artillery fire, a strong force suddenly came from beside her and abruptly pushed him away.

A pair of strong hands tightly embraced her body.

Selena was embraced into a familiar embrace.

The person flipped in mid-air, and he fell to the ground, while she tumbled into his arms.

Selena felt a familiar breath, and in an instant she opened her eyes. Through the billowing black smoke, she saw a face that was extremely familiar to her.

Osvaldo's handsome face turned a ghastly shade of green as he held onto Selena's arm, trembling uncontrollably.

Just one second more, and he would have lost her forever.

No one knew that when Osvaldo arrived, the person he cherished the most, the one he couldn't bear to see a single hair fall from, was buried among the remains and carnage, all alone.

She held their dying "son" in her arms, her skirt was dirty, her hair was messy, and she looked disheveled like never before... The man's heart felt as if it had been twisted into a knot.

At that time, she was like this, alone and died on the battlefield in a place he didn't know.

Today, he almost made her experience another such tragic event.
