Chapter 1718
Chapter 1718: If you beat them, they will naturally behave!
In the face of imminent danger, with limited tand energy, Selena was the bravest empress ever to get married and enter the
bridal chamber!
Osvaldo's gaze made Selena's back feel a bit prickly. She changed the subject and asked, "Where did you go?"
Waking up early in the morning without seeing anyone by her side, Selena couldn't say she felt completely fine. Osvaldo stared at
her for a few seconds before responding, "lI went to see my 'savior' and asked him squestions."
Selena suddenly remembered that she hadn't asked Osvaldo about what happened when he disappeared.
She took Osvaldo's hand and led him back to their bedroom. The newlyweds locked themselves in their room and whispered sweet
nothings.
An hour later, an award was presented from within the royal court directly to their hotel room.
The family of three who received this reward were overjoyed but also fearful. Out of guilt, they left the central city on that same
day.
At noon, after having lunch with Osvaldo by her side watching her busy schedule all morning long, Selena touched his hair
affectionately as he said goodbye. "Luke is here; I'm going out to meet them."
Selena lifted her head from behind her desk with a slight smile on her face. "I still owe Mr. Jordan a meal; once things calm down
around here I'll go visit our estate."
She walked out personally like any ordinary wife would do for their husband - helping Osvaldo adjust his collar before saying
goodbye,"Cback soon."
Osvaldo looked into Selena's eyes for a moment before speaking up suddenly,"Selena..."
Selene opened up wide-eyed looking at him expectantly.
Osvaldo lowered his head kissing gently upon her forehead,"l'll be coming hlate tonight... you need to listen carefully now...
wait until I cback okay?"
The governor secretly brought a mysterious person back with him.
That person is probably Aarav.
Since he promised Selena to help her find her brother, he had to fish out Aarav before tonight.
Within the the palace, Hanley was watching, and Spencer and Margot had also arrived. As long as Selena was safe, there would be
no problem.
Selena hesitated for a moment, then seemed to realize something. She smiled slightly with sexpectation and said softly,
"Okay."
Osvaldo lifted his hand and embraced Selena in his arms.
Selena leaned against his chest and closed her eyes.
As if sensing an unusual tension in the air, on this night all households in the central city had already closed their doors early. Even
on the usually decadent streets where lights were always on at nightclubs or bars there was no business going on.
At seven o'clock when it was completely dark outside, strong footsteps broke through the silence of the palace.
Stanley stood in front of the palace's gate looking at Lillian across from him along with numerous guards carrying knives and guns
behind her. He smiled slightly but his sharpness almost overflowed from beneath his eyes,"Miss Governor, His Majesty does not
wish to see any outsiders today so please leave."
Lillian raised an eyebrow with a shallow smile as she looked up at the palace's magnificent gates,"Mr. Soo, you'd better step aside
or else this gate that embodies Riddle Group Empire's countless ancestors’ blood sweat will not be able to protect itself."
Stanley's expression sank,"His Majesty has ordered that Miss Governor may enter but you--"
His gaze fell on the guards behind Lillian, and the killing intent almost spilled out from their bodies. "Just stay here!"
Lillian's eyes turned resolute as she slowly raised the knife in her hand, and with a heavy swing, she exclaimed, "Kill!"
The sky-high blood-red color and killing intent, in an instant, spread throughout the entire royal court.
The ground was covered with red fresh blood, which quickly gathered into a stream.
From a long distance away, the strong smell of blood made ordinary people hold onto their bodies and shiver.
A young woman in armor, stepping on a ground of blood, under the protection of the guards, rushed into the royal court and slowly
walked into the council chamber.
In the quiet conference room, Selena was also dressed in armor and had a knife at her side. She sat high on the throne, watching
Lillian walk in from outside the door.
Her dark eyes, tranquil as a deep pool, just like those years gone by.
Lillian raised the knife in her hand, stained with fresh blood, and aimed it at Selena on the throne. "Your Majesty, you have been
sitting in that position for too long. It's tto step down."
Selena looked at the person standing on the bright red carpet, her eyes and tone equally cold, "Have you ever been willing in all
these years?"
"lI am very grateful for your many years of dedication to the Empire!" Lillian sneered, "After you die, I will posthumously confer a
title on you and let the descendants of the Empire remember and be grateful to you for generations to come!"
Selena smiled and said, "You owea favor, do you remember?"
When Lillian went to redeem Robert, she owed Selena a favor because she lost three treasures to her.
Lillian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please!"
Both she and her are aware that as members of the royal family, it is not allowed for them to demand that the other side lay down
their weapons and surrender directly.
"They will win in their own way!" Selena said coldly, "Withdraw your large artillery! The outcbetween us is in our own hands."
Lillian pondered for a few seconds and smiled, "Okay."
As the two ladies of the Riddle Group Empire, even if they fought to the death, they would not destroy the foundation of the Riddle
Group because of internal strife and give those with ulterior motives an opportunity.
Furthermore, Selena had Gaia in her hands. Once a large-scale artillery war broke out, Lillian wouldn't gain any advantage.
Selena drew her knife from her side and stepped down from the throne step by step. "In this generation of the empire, there are
only you and me. I once thought that we would becgood sisters."
Lillian held her own knife and walked forward. "If you are willing to fulfill my wish, I don't necessarily have to obtain this position.
And also..."
This generation of empire was not just about them.
Selena smiled. "The bloodline of Riddle Group Empire is rare but each one is an incredibly troublesbastard!"
"I have been thinking for a long tabout how to discipline these disobedient bastards. Later on I realized that if they don't listen
then we can only beat them up first!"
"After being beaten into submission they will naturally behave!"
With those words spoken Selena suddenly raised her hand as she slashed at Lillian's face with all her might.
Lillian dodged sideways while turning her wrist so that the blade pointed straight at Selena's throat.
She laughed, "After behaving themselves we can judge them before killing them right? Just like... how you personally killed your
Uncle David!"
"Selena when it comes to ruthlessness you're no match for me!"
With a resounding clang, the sound of blades colliding echoed through the night, almost piercing one's eardrums.
Selena's gaze turned completely cold as she kicked her long legs towards Lillian. "Everyone should pay for the sins they've
committed! That's the price of being a queen!"
Lillian also lifted her leg and swept it towards Selena with a sneer. "Selena, are you really happy being this queen?"
