Most importantly, she needed this marriage to stabilize the situation and quickly eliminate Lillian. Once she avenged him, she could focus solely on finding him with more time on her hands.
Selena took a deep breath and walked over to the dressing table, allowing the chief attendant and her team to prepare her for the wedding.
...
In the garden, Carly was arranging flowers with a group of maidservants. She stood aside and thought about the queen's recent behavior as well as her specific instructions for Carly to secretly find someone. She felt uneasy for some reason.
Regardless, news of the queen's impending wedding had already spread. If anything went wrong at this critical juncture, those attendants who were eagerly anticipating it would be unhappy.
Carly suppressed her emotions and was about to lead the maidservants in preparing food for the queen when a young woman dressed as a maid suddenly blocked her path and handed something over to Carly. "Carly, please give this item to Her Majesty."
Carly froze upon seeing this maid before her eyes filled with anger. Her real name was Carly - while appearing like an ordinary servant dedicated solely to taking care of Her Majesty's needs - in reality she was part of an imperial secret service unit that specialized in protecting Her Majesty's safety regarding food and clothing matters.
And apart from His Highness or Madam herself, no one else within court knew Carly's true identity including Selena herself.
Who sent this person?
The maid met Carly's suspicious and guarded gaze with a faint smile, appearing ordinary and unremarkable. "Carly, don't worry. My young master has no ill intentions. You'll understand everything once you see this."
Carly looked at the sachet handed to her. She had learned all the world's deadliest poisons since childhood, so it was impossible for anyone to poison the queen without her noticing.
Carly stared at the maid for a moment, making sure there was no malice before reaching out to take the sachet. The maid bowed respectfully and walked back into the group of people, quickly blending in without any noticeable difference.
Carly clenched her fingers tightly as a deep emotion flashed across her eyes. How could someone be inserted into Her Majesty's inner circle? Who is this person?
Suppressing her thoughts, Carly opened up the sachet in her hand.
Inside was only one piece of paper with a message written on it.
As she read through its contents with an icy expression on her face, Carly's pupils contracted sharply as she turned pale all over. "How could this be...?"
Could it be... that child?
...
At that very moment outside of palace gate stood a tall figure gazing up at what was undoubtedly one of Central City's most imposing and luxurious locations; his eyes glinted with sharpness.
The Queen of Central City, named Selena! Her name was etched in his heart like a tattoo.
Today, the queen is getting married to her childhood sweetheart...
In the man's seductive eyes, there was an indescribable dark emotion that silently infiltrated the palace.
...
Selena quickly finished her makeup and put on her pristine white wedding dress. The Grand Sacrifice personally placed a dazzling crown on her head and smiled faintly. "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Selena looked at herself in the mirror as a dignified and beautiful young lady. She tugged at the corners of her mouth and said, "Thank you very much for your help. I want to rest for a while; you can leave first."
As long as the queen obediently gets married, everything else is not important.
