Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo) novel Chapter 1712

Chapter 1712 - Osvaldo

In Lillian's eyes, there was a glimmer of nostalgia. "The emperor asked us, why do we want to become an emperor?"

"I said, for the empire."

"Selena said, for the people."

"The next day, the emperor announced that Selena would be the next heir to the throne."

"A month later, Selena ascended to the throne and became the youngest emperor in Central City's history."

At that time they were only five and six years old respectively. They were still too young to fully understand their answers if they were placed in an ordinary family.

It was precisely because of their youth that their answers were pure and true from deep within their hearts.

The man's lips curved into a smile. One could almost imagine how little Selena was just a chubby baby at that time when she answered her father with her milky voice. At her age back then she couldn't fully comprehend or appreciate what she had said.

But thirteen years later, this girl had been working hard towards her choice ever since. She did it well - better than anyone else could have done it.

A hint of pride appeared in his otherwise calm eyes like still water.

Lillian looked at his smile with a momentary daze on her face. "Even until today I don't regret my answer back then."

For Lillian, faith and truth are unchanging things that can never be erased or altered.

"Since then I knew there would only be one person between Selena and me who will survive this life," she added solemnly.

Selena stood in the way of her ambition, and she couldn't let Selena live. But at the moment Selena realized her ambition, for Selena's own beliefs, she also couldn't tolerate her living. If she didn't take action first and kill Selena, sooner or later, Selena would hold a knife to her neck just like how she killed their Uncle David! The biggest difference between her and Selena was that she was even more ruthless than Selena!

The man turned his head and finally looked at Lillian's face. His voice was very soft, with an unprecedented tenderness and coldness. "From the moment we both had life breaths, we have been together. We are the closest people in the world. If she hurts, I will feel pain; if she dies, I will die too... This is something that no one can cut off."

Lillian looked directly into those pitch-black eyes and smiled gently. "Aarav, maybe if it were you sitting in that seat instead of me..." She trailed off but continued to look at him with a warm affection only reserved for loved ones.

He should have been the one sitting in that position after all.

Aarav shifted his gaze away from hers as he spoke softly: "Miss Governor-General Lillian... you've crossed a line."

Lillian smiled slightly as starlight seemed to twinkle within her clear peach blossom eyes - cold yet beautiful - "I just wanted to talk with you."

After all today was his sister's wedding day but he couldn't be there himself; unable to lead his sister by hand towards another man who would become responsible for shaping her future.

He must be feeling sad about it all...

And she... wanted to accompany him.

Aarav looked in the direction of the palace, his lips curling up.

There would indeed be a wedding today.

But who the male lead would be... was uncertain!

His sister, however, would definitely be very happy!

Lillian was about to speak when suddenly there was a commotion outside the door and Robert burst in. "Miss Governor, His Majesty has run away from the wedding--"

But when Robert's gaze fell on Aarav standing by the French window, his expression froze completely.
