Chapter 1697: Wait for me.
This man had long known of his existence.
Perhaps he knew even more than just the Anderson family's unique and passionate bloodline.
So he secretly supported him all the way to today. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
If Osvaldo had not met Selena and fallen in love with her, according to his temperament, he would not
have bothered doing anything that could harm the stability of the empire.
But if he did meet Selena and fall in love with her, then the entire alliance would be peaceful for
decades to come, ushering in an era of prosperity.
Selena's path to becoming a future emperor will be smoother as well.
It was truly a clever calculation!
When it comes to power struggles and wisdom, Selena is still somewhat inexperienced compared to
her father.
Osvaldo knew what he wanted and walked out confidently.
The tea room became quiet again as Hanley looked at the steaming tea on the table with deep eyes.
Some things can be controlled but others cannot be calculated - such as Stanley's feelings for Selena.
It was unfair for Stanley who had been by Selena's side since childhood when she was left alone for a
year helping Turner family seek revenge and fell in love with Osvaldo...
Stanley was not the kind of person to be easily controlled by others. He might use the daughter of the
Turner family in Rose Palace to cause trouble...
Just as Hanley put down his teacup, Horace rushed in, visibly agitated. "Your Majesty, Governor Miss
has secretly mobilized a large number of private soldiers and weapons and headed for Rose Palace..."
Hanley's eyes suddenly narrowed.
At the same time, Osvaldo had already left the palace and received this news.
The man stepped on the accelerator frantically, and his car shot towards the outskirts of town like an
arrow leaving its bow.
Osvaldo pressed Selena's number while stepping on the gas pedal with all his might.
Selena stood outside Rose Palace's gate, looking at how dark it had become in a short amount of time.
She forced herself to calm down.
Why did she have to argue with Osvaldo when she had never even met him?
She could give up anything but that man!
Selena took out her phone just as it flashed with an incoming call from Osvaldo.
She hesitated before answering it; however, before she could say anything he spoke first in a panicked
voice: "Leave there immediately, Selena!"
Selena had never heard Osvaldo's voice sound so panicked and angry before. It was chilling.
Her eyes widened as she realized what was happening. A buzzing noise filled her ears, and when she
looked up, she saw a dozen fighter jets flying towards them.
Without thinking, Selena tightened her grip on her phone and ran towards the Rose Palace. But before
she could get far, Stanley appeared in front of her with a grim expression on his face. He grabbed
Selena's hand and pulled her towards the garage.
"Take her away!" Selena said coldly to Stanley. She could die, but the Turner family's Selena couldn't.
Stanley opened his mouth to protest, but before he could say anything, Selena spoke up again: "This is
an order from the queen!"
Stanley turned pale at those words and didn't hesitate any longer. He pushed Selena away from him
and watched as she faced off against the incoming enemy planes with determination in her eyes.
In the distance, there were loud explosions and sounds of well-trained footsteps approaching them
quickly.
Selena stood at the forefront of their group facing their enemies head-on while patting down Gaia on
her shoulder blade saying "Stanley, I am a queen who can die but will never be a coward!"
She may not have known that she was actually royalty herself yet; however for both The Turner
Family's promise or punishing Lillian required someone like herself to step forward - it couldn't be
anyone else other than Selina who would do it!
As they approached closer still...
She didn't look back, her voice carrying a cold authority, "Now, I command you to take that girl inside
and leave at all costs!"
Stanley was shaken to his core as a few drops of fresh blood fell from his fingertips onto the ground.
He gritted his teeth and glanced at the little Gaia on Selena's shoulder before sprinting towards the
palace behind him.
As Stanley turned around, dozens of ghostly figures appeared beside Selena. They were dressed
differently and clearly belonged to two opposing factions.
In this realm of alliance, Osvaldo could not let Selena go out alone. Stanley couldn't have brought her
here alone either.
There had always been someone secretly protecting her by her side.
But even with these killing machines present by their side, they were like ants in front of the incoming
army.
Little Gaia jumped off Selena's shoulder and stood in front of her with icy eyes shimmering with an
inorganic light.
Selena's black hair and snow-white dress fluttered in the wind as she faced the thousands of troops
charging towards them. She spoke into her phone which was still connected on hold,"Osvaldo, don't be
angry..."
The man on the other end seemed so tense that he might break any second but he didn't blame or
force anything upon her; he simply said,"Wait for me!"
Selena smiled slightly,"Okay."
If she said she would wait for him then she definitely would wait for him.
After hanging up the phone, Selena took a step forward and looked up at the fighter jet ahead.
This is the most advanced fighter jet in the world, and one bullet is enough to level this entire area.
But Selena shows no fear on her face, even though she could be torn to pieces at any moment.
She stares coldly at the fighter jet in front of her, her eyes icy and sharp as if she can see the person
inside.
In the command room, Lillian wears military attire and also gazes coldly at Selena below.
Robert stands behind her, his gaze falling on the small and delicate doll next to Selena. His expression
changes for a moment. "When will Your Majesty... bring this one out?"
Lillian's gaze flickers briefly over little Gaia's body. She had seen Gaia before at a banquet and was not
surprised by her presence now.
"The monarch and research institute have been alerted. We don't have much time left. Let's make it
quick!" She looks down coldly at Selena. "Fire!"
In an instant, countless bullets rain down towards where Selena stands.
...
At that same moment, inside an empty maze within Central City Research Institute, the artificial deity
leans slightly forward with its slender body and presses a button on its screen with its shining white
fingers.
Suddenly, alarms blare throughout the entire research institute.
Countless people rush out of their offices; members of information teams take their positions while
soldiers go into full alert mode.
Inside his office, with hair turned white from age, the old dean hears the alarm sound and his face
suddenly changes."S-level alert! The Queen has been assassinated!"
