Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo)

Chapter 1713 Reunion

Chapter 1713 Reunion

He had once said that as long as she called his name, no matter where he was in the world, he would

come back to her side. Selena softly called out his name, over and over again.

Her light and gentle voice reached the man who had also arrived at their place of separation. It drew

him closer step by step.

He looked at the little girl in front of him, crying and calling out his name like an abandoned animal

under the flower rack. The man's eyes were calm like a still pond, but mixed with two emotions:

heartache and destruction.

Slowly walking towards her, he reached out from behind and tightly embraced her into his arms.

Selena suddenly froze. She remained motionless on the spot like a delicate statue. The atmosphere

felt like frozen film.

After what seemed like an eternity, Selena slowly turned around to see a familiar face wearing a mask.

Behind that mask were two pure black eyes staring intently at her face without moving.

Tears shimmered in Selena's eyes as if she was dreaming - scared yet anticipating - she lifted up her

hand with trembling fingers to touch that mask.

Slowly but surely, it was as if she was uncovering a secret when Selena removed that mask revealing

behind it an extremely familiar pale handsome face.

At this moment, time stood still.

Selena slowly blinked her eyes, then blinked again as she confirmed that the person in front of her was

real. Suddenly, she burst into tears and threw herself at him. "Where have you been? Why did you

come back now..."

"I've been waiting for you for so long..."

Osvaldo reached out his hands and tightly embraced his lover, his wife.

He was sorry it took him so long to come back.

He was sorry he made her wait so long.

He was sorry he made her sad.

Under the sunshine, a pair of lovers who had been separated for a year finally reunited.

The news of the queen's elopement quickly spread throughout the entire court. The nobles were in an

uproar. This matter concerning the state also caused negative discussions among the people.

The queen's faction turned pale when they heard this news.

The high priest held his cane and stared at Carly kneeling on the ground with guards around her.

"Where did Her Majesty go?"

Carly gritted her teeth. "Your Excellency, I... I really don't know."

The Grand Minister's kind expression remained unchanged, but his eyes betrayed a hint of severity.

"Carly, you should know that if this matter is not resolved perfectly, the Queen's reputation will be

severely damaged."

"If the Regent uses this as an excuse to attack... the consequences are not something you can bear!" Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Carly trembled slightly but persisted in keeping silent and whispered, "It's all my fault. If you want to

punish someone, please punish me!"

The Grand Minister stared at Carly for a long time before slowly saying," Carly, although I am old and

do not interfere much in worldly affairs anymore, I am not ignorant of Her Majesty's intentions."

"A qualified emperor must first ensure that emotions do not cloud their judgment."

"This time... Her Majesty has disappointed us greatly."

Carly's heart tightened. "Your Excellency, Her Majesty has been by your side since childhood and was

raised by your hand. From childhood to adulthood she has never been willful or capricious. Please...

help her this time!"

The Grand Minister stared at Carly on the kneeling carpet for a long time before suddenly raising his

voice," Guards!"

Two guards walked in from outside.

"Carly colluded with bandits and kidnapped the Queen! Take her away!"

Although Carly had committed a crime, she felt relieved and deeply bowed down to the Grand

Minister."Thank you Your Excellency!"

The impact of the Queen's elopement versus being kidnapped was completely different.

...

The wedding proceeded as scheduled.

The members of the royal family and nobility had already heard about the queen's runaway bride news,

but the court had not yet responded directly to it. At this moment, they sat in the hall with complex

thoughts, waiting for the final result.

In a beautifully decorated church, everything was ready for the wedding except for two people.

At noon on time, when the wedding was supposed to start, there was still no sign of the queen.

Rumors became more credible as time passed.

The nobles could no longer wait and began discussing it one after another.

Just then, there was a commotion outside.

The high priestess came in on her wheelchair with Stanley by her side. Her expression was indifferent

and gave away nothing about what she thought.

Lillian sitting in front noticed Stanley's face and smiled at him. "Mr. Soo as today's groom? It is time to

change into your suit."

Stanley coldly glanced at Lillian before speaking in a clear voice that everyone could hear: "I'm sorry

everyone; due to an unexpected illness affecting Queen Selena's health we have decided to cancel

today's ceremony."

There was sudden silence throughout the room. If even Stanley said so as a groom-to-be himself - did

that mean that Queen Selena really ran away from her own wedding?

The high priestess twirled a bead between her long fingers while thinking about how she originally

planned to frame Carly instead but Stanley stopped her saying Selena would not agree with such

actions.

If Selena's trust caused harm to those around her, she would feel guilty and upset. Therefore, that plan

became a backup plan. It would only be used as a last resort when there was no other option. Perhaps

they could delay until Selena returned? Before that, they could only stabilize the situation.

Lillian smiled with a clear sense of competition in her eyes and said, "I just received some news that

Her Majesty is not happy with this marriage and ran away from it without permission. Now hearing Mr.

Soo's words, could it be true?"

Stanley felt a pang in his heart but showed no anger or sadness on his face as he replied, "Miss

Governor is exaggerating. Her Majesty is just unwell and did not run away from the marriage."

"Mr. Soo!" Lillian suddenly became serious with a hint of sarcasm and coldness in her voice as she

continued, "Before you say these things, have you considered your own family? If Her Majesty did not

run away from the marriage but was simply unwell then can we... see her for ourselves?"

The Su family was an influential aristocratic family in the empire just like Lillian's family.

Although Stanley chose to endure this humiliation for Selena's sake it didn't mean that the Su family

would tolerate it too.

If Selena dared to provoke discord between Stanley and Robert then Lillian naturally wouldn't mind

adding fuel to the fire at this time.

Stanley looked at Lillian coldly about to speak when suddenly the High Priest raised his hand stopping

him saying,"Enough, Mr. Soo."

The excuse of being unwell couldn't hold up if Selena herself wasn't present at court.

Even if it might backfire, Carly had no choice but to sacrifice herself in this situation. She would willingly

take on all the blame for Selena. This could also serve as a way to teach the queen, who has been

recently indecisive and fickle-minded, a lesson.

The high priest chuckled at this idea...
