"I'm right outside his estate gate now, tell me how to open this thing and I'll come get you right away..."
Margot's excited voice echoed in Selena's ears as she walked out of the villa with her phone in hand.
She stood under the dim sky, her face tense as she looked around.
The air was cold, with the damp fog blowing on her face along with the cold wind of early winter, sending a chilling sensation through her.
Under her feet was the familiar Creephia, to the south lay the direction of capital, while to the north was the homeland she yearned for in her dreams.
The north and south were connected, yet the two roads were completely opposite.
A hint of confusion crossed Selena's eyes, a rare occurrence.
She slowly lifted her head and looked up at the gray-white sky, her dark eyes filled with vastness, with stars and moons floating and sinking, seemingly revealing the ups and downs of fate within them.
A man stood in the cold wind, draped in a black coat, with a slender and elegant figure, his handsome appearance like an ink painting.
Hearing the footsteps, he raised his eyebrows and looked up, revealing his black eyes.
In the next second, the man picked up a black umbrella from the side and walked towards the girl, sheltering her under the umbrella with slow steps.
Further away, more black-clad men stood in the morning mist, with their straight postures and sharp gazes, exuding the solemnity and majesty that only military officers possessed.
Osvaldo's gaze swept over her blood-stained fingertips, his breathing became stagnant.
After a moment, the man's expression returned to calm, like a caring husband, he affectionately touched her cold cheeks, his tone full of tenderness, comforting and encouraging her, "You, don't be afraid, I'll take you home."
Selena suddenly jolted.
Her mind felt like it was hit hard with a hammer, making her nerves unable to bear it, and she let out a scream.
Wake up call!
It was only at this moment that Selena had to recognize and accept a fact.
From the moment she was reborn into Selena, she became her.
Whether she liked it or not, Selena's life was her life.
She couldn't avoid it, couldn't escape it, and had no choice but to face it head on.
Selena lifted her head and looked at the man in front of her.
Her face was pale, with a hint of misty grievances in her eyes, "... Is capital good?"
Even though at this moment, she was supposed to be going home.
Osvaldo smiled and seduced her with extreme tenderness, "Capital is my home, and it's your home too. Our home is there, how could it not be good?"
Selena's eyelashes trembled as she asked unreasonably, "Can I kill and do whatever I want in there?"
"Yes!" The man didn't hesitate at all, coaxing his aggrieved little darling with a smile. After a moment of silence, his voice was low, hoarse, and pious, "Selena, everyone owes you..."
Including the Anderson family.
Callum and Lady Nevaeh, all the deceased members of the Turner family, are heroes.
And those who are currently feasting on the Turner family's flesh and blood, the high-ranking aristocrats, are greedy and selfish demons.
If they had not taken advantage of the Turner family's vulnerability and entered their territory, the Turner family would not have lost their power, Lady Nevaeh would not have been forced to leave the capital, and Selena would not have lost her parents and died early.
When the first warm rays of sunlight fell on her, Selena raised her head and all her fragility and hesitation dissipated in an instant.
She took a few steps forward, looking in the direction of the capital, determination and strength swirling in her dark eyes, and her lips curved coldly, "Then I'll go find them and collect all the blood and debt they owe me!"
