As Hattie walked in, she met Selena's gaze.
Hattie paused for a moment before running over to Selena with excitement. "Selena!"
Selena smiled as she looked at the young girl who was starting to blossom into a beautiful woman. In a few years, Hattie would grow up and become just like her and Selena - beautiful and wonderful girls.
"Hattie, come here," said Selena.
Hattie obediently sat down in front of Selena with her white face looking serious as she stared at her.
"I heard from Leia that you've already started preparing for Union University's assessment?" asked Selena.
Hattie nodded confidently. "Yes, I will be the best one there."
Selena looked at Hattie's determined eyes and smiled even more broadly. She reached out to touch Hattie's hair and said, "Remember your dreams always, Hattie. Never forget where you came from."
Hearing something in Selina's tone made Hatti tense up immediately as she grabbed onto her hand tightly asking nervously: "What happened? Are you okay?"
"It's nothing," replied Selina shaking her head slightly."I just want to tell you that I'll be leaving the capital soon for somewhere I've missed for a long time."
Hatti became panicked hearing this news grabbing onto Selenas hand unconsciously: "Where are you going? When will you come back?"
"I'm going back home," replied Selina with a smile on her face while looking into the frightened eyes of the young girl who was about to cry any minute now."As for when I'll return... I don't know yet but I promise that once everything is settled down there then I'll definitely come back."
Looking at that beautiful face of hers made it clear that no one could change what decision had been made by this strong-willed woman named Selina.
"She said she was leaving, and no one could keep her here.
Most importantly, Selena said she was going back to her homeland...
Although Hattie couldn't guess Selena's true identity, through Leon's reminder, she learned that there were two Selenas.
One was the kind and strong Selena who had been living in Creephia for nineteen years.
The other was the beautiful and powerful Selena in front of her.
She was leaving...
The little girl sniffled but didn't cry as she looked at Selena with a determined face. "Selena, wait for me. When I grow up and become a very capable person, I will definitely come see you!"
Listening to the little girl's strong words, Selena smiled contentedly. "Okay, I will wait for the day when Hattie grows up!"
After making their promise, Hattie felt better and accompanied Selena to read books in the study.
Except for Beatrice who had been captured earlier that day, it was a peaceful day in the capital.
In the evening, Osvaldo came to pick up Selena and take her home.
Sitting on the passenger seat looking out at the bustling night scene outside of car window, Selana suddenly spoke,"Osvaldo."
The man driving responded gently.
Selana smiled,"I'm going to leave the capital soon. Will you accompany me home?"
Although knowing that she would follow her wherever she went, she still wanted to hear it from him what this man meant.
