Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo) novel Chapter 1704

Chapter 1704: Why haven't you come out yet?

Not long after Stanley left, a maid suddenly came to report that the Imperial Grand Sacrifice was requesting an audience. Upon hearing this, Selena immediately spoke without hesitation, "Tell them I'm not here!"

The maid was about to reply when an elegant and aged female voice had already spoken first, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Because I haven't seen you for a long time, I had to come in on my own. Please forgive this old woman's intrusion."

Upon hearing this voice, Selena's eyelids twitched. She turned around with the most dignified and ladylike smile on her face and said, "Why does the Imperial Grand Sacrifice have time to visit me today?"

A white-haired woman with a dignified bearing sat in a wheelchair being pushed closer.

She held onto her cane and bowed respectfully towards Selena with a kind smile on her face saying,"Mainly because Your Majesty has been too busy these past two months. This old woman has requested an audience more than ten times but couldn't see you each time so she can only come every day to ask."

Selena's eyelids twitched again as she replied,"The Empire has been busy these years; thank you for your concern."

The woman smiled unchanged while speaking elegantly yet kindly,"Your Majesty should not neglect such important matters even if you are busy. As a young girl of twenty years old it is also time for you to find yourself a boyfriend; as the Empress of our country it is crucial for your lifelong affairs."

In other words: Your Majesty should get married and have children.

Selena's smile almost went crazy inside but she tried hard to convince herself who had made great contributions to the Empire - she could not be disrespectful or drive her away otherwise due to their frequent reminders about marriage at such high frequency would make her go crazy.

It was probably because of what happened when she almost died on the battlefield which caused psychological trauma among these elderly men and women resulting in her marriage being put on schedule despite only being twenty years old.

Three days one big reminder; two days one small fuss - it wasn't just talk.

Selena's inner demons were raging like flipping tables but kept up appearances by maintaining serious composure while saying,"Imperial Grand Sacrifice makes sense but now..."

As Selena tried to refuse, the woman smiled slightly. "I understand Your Majesty's concerns. It is precisely because of the tense situation in the empire that you should have an heir as soon as possible."

"The imperial bloodline is thin. In your father's generation, there were still Second Prince and Princess, but in your generation, you are the only one left."

"If something happens to you, the empire will be shaken and it will not be conducive to stability."

"If you have children, Princess and Miss Regent will not act so recklessly."

"For the sake of peace and inheritance of the empire, please do not blame us old folks for being meddlesome."

"There are many young talents in palace. Your Majesty should pay more attention to them recently," said the old woman.

At this point, she seemed unaware of Selena's black expression and her smile deepened. "If you're not satisfied with anyone we suggest then let us help pick someone out for you," she added.

"It doesn't matter how many people you want to take on as heirs."

Upon hearing this last sentence, Selena's pretty face stiffened.

Seemingly aware of Selena's emotions reaching a critical point where she was about to snap back at them any moment now; The old woman stopped talking and sighed softly: "Your Majesty please don't blame us old folks for being meddlesome but just know that Miss Regent is coming back soon."

"Princess has been dormant for many years; her power is far from what You see on surface level alone."

"Once You tear off your face with Miss Regent; The Empire will shake. If You win then everything will be fine."

"But if anything happens again while we don't have a legitimate heir; The Empire shall experience a change in dynasty."

"At that time; Bloodshed shall occur beyond what You can imagine even if it means thinking about Your parents' well-being please keep this matter close at heart".
