Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo)

Chapter 1704: Why haven't you cout yet?

Not long after Stanley left, a maid suddenly cto report that the Imperial Grand Sacrifice was requesting an audience. Upon

hearing this, Selena immediately spoke without hesitation, "Tell them I'm not here!"

The maid was about to reply when an elegant and aged female voice had already spoken first, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Because I

haven't seen you for a long time, I had to cin on my own. Please forgive this old woman's intrusion."

Upon hearing this voice, Selena's eyelids twitched. She turned around with the most dignified and ladylike smile on her face and

said, "Why does the Imperial Grand Sacrifice have tto visittoday?"

A white-haired woman with a dignified bearing sat in a wheelchair being pushed closer.

She held onto her cane and bowed respectfully towards Selena with a kind smile on her face saying,"Mainly because Your Majesty

has been too busy these past two months. This old woman has requested an audience more than ten times but couldn't see you

each tso she can only cevery day to ask."

Selena's eyelids twitched again as she replied,"The Empire has been busy these years; thank you for your concern."

The woman smiled unchanged while speaking elegantly yet kindly,"Your Majesty should not neglect such important matters even if

you are busy. As a young girl of twenty years old it is also tfor you to find yourself a boyfriend; as the Empress of our country it

is crucial for your lifelong affairs."

In other words: Your Majesty should get married and have children.

Selena's smile almost went crazy inside but she tried hard to convince herself who had made great contributions to the Empire -

she could not be disrespectful or drive her away otherwise due to their frequent reminders about marriage at such high frequency

would make her go crazy.

It was probably because of what happened when she almost died on the battlefield which caused psychological trauma among

these elderly men and women resulting in her marriage being put on schedule despite only being twenty years old.

Three days one big reminder; two days one small fuss - it wasn't just talk.

Selena's inner demons were raging like flipping tables but kept up appearances by maintaining serious composure while

saying,"Imperial Grand Sacrifice makes sense but now..."

As Selena tried to refuse, the woman smiled slightly. "lI understand Your Majesty's concerns. It is precisely because of the tense

situation in the empire that you should have an heir as soon as possible."

"The imperial bloodline is thin. In your father's generation, there were still Second Prince and Princess, but in your generation, you

are the only one left."

"If something happens to you, the empire will be shaken and it will not be conducive to stability."

"If you have children, Princess and Miss Regent will not act so recklessly."

"For the sake of peace and inheritance of the empire, please do not blus old folks for being meddlesome."

"There are many young talents in palace. Your Majesty should pay more attention to them recently," said the old woman.

At this point, she seemed unaware of Selena's black expression and her smile deepened. "If you're not satisfied with anyone we

suggest then let us help pick someone out for you," she added.

"It doesn't matter how many people you want to take on as heirs."

Upon hearing this last sentence, Selena's pretty face stiffened.

Seemingly aware of Selena's emotions reaching a critical point where she was about to snap back at them any moment now; The

old woman stopped talking and sighed softly: "Your Majesty please don't blus old folks for being meddlesbut just know

that Miss Regent is coming back soon."

"Princess has been dormant for many years; her power is far from what You see on surface level alone."

"Once You tear off your face with Miss Regent; The Empire will shake. If You win then everything will be fine."

"But if anything happens again while we don't have a legitimate heir; The Empire shall experience a change in dynasty."

"At that time; Bloodshed shall occur beyond what You can imagine even if it means thinking about Your parents’ well-being please

keep this matter close at heart".

"Your Majesty, you have been intelligent since childhood and should know that we are not exaggerating," the old woman said.

"Please consider this carefully."

After finishing her words, the old woman bowed to Selena and said goodbye.

Selena watched as the old woman left, and her smile slowly disappeared from her face. She instinctively raised her hand to touch

the bite mark on her collarbone - a shallow mark that was almost invisible on her fair skin if not looked at closely.

But Selena had never used medicine to remove it. Whenever she felt upset or alone, she would subconsciously touch it and feel

warm inside.

Looking down at the crescent-shaped scar on her collarbone, Selena whispered softly, "Why haven't you cout yet?"

Although she didn't know who had left this scar on her collarbone, Selena knew that he must exist - even if she couldn't remember

him anymore.

She knew that there must have been a man whom she willingly allowed to leave this mark on her body. Knowing herself well

enough, if he wasn't important to her in any way, she wouldn't have let it stay there - even if she couldn't remember him anymore.

As an Empress of the Empire, making a scar disappear was an easy task for Selena.

But in fact, she not only did not eliminate the scar, but also deliberately used medicine to prevent it from healing completely,

leaving this pale scar forever on her body.

Selena lowered her long eyelashes and clenched the flower in her hand.

In the evening, Selena sat alone by the pond, holding a flower and tearing it apart petal by petal. She muttered softly to herself,

"Will he cout? Will he not cout?"

When she reached the last petal, she said firmly, "He won't cout."

A few seconds later, Selena angrily threw the bare stem of the flower on the ground and stomped on it. "No! No! Not at all!"

After stomping a few times, Selena deflated and hung her slender shoulders while looking at the moonlight above her head. "Why

aren't you coming out?"

After a moment's pause, she shouted fiercely again: "If you don't cout soon I'm going to get married!"

When Stanley walked in he saw her sitting there talking to herself.

Stanley lowered his eyelashes and covered up his expression.

Although Selena had forgotten that man already subconsciously retained many habits from that year.

With her intelligence level surely having ssuspicions deep down inside of herself for quite stnow...

It's just...

As long as that man doesn't appear everything will remain unchanged.

Stanley walked over and asked softly: "I heard that today's big offering cagain?"

Selena turned around and glared at him. "When did you learn how to stir things up?"

Stanley chuckled. "Do you really dislike the idea of getting married that much?"

Selena shook her head seriously. "You don't understand the annoyance of being pressured to get married..."

As she spoke, she suddenly paused and turned curiously to look at the young man in front of her with her dark, clear eyes.

"Speaking of which, Stanley, you're already 26 years old. How cyou haven't gotten a wife yet?"
