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.
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.
