Chapter 1710 Remembering
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 ton 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 sreason.
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 nwas 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

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 nwas 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. | want to rest for a while; you can leave first."
As long as the queen obediently gets married, everything else is not important.
The Grand Sacrifice led all of the palace maids out one by one.
Soon enough, only Selena remained in her bedroom.
She stood up and walked to the window, looking towards the direction of King's Gate with negative emotions permeating
throughout her body.
Suddenly someone pushed open Carly's bedroom door from outside while carrying soup. Seeing Selena sulking by herself
nearsightedness made Carly recall familiar handwriting from that note... her heart tightened up.
She placed down what she brought on top of table then walked over to Selena saying: "Your Majesty, are you unhappy about
marrying Lord Su?"
Selena lowered her head, perhaps because at this point, she hadn't found the person she was looking for. Under a sense of despair
and hopelessness, she rarely revealed her true feelings to Carly. "Carly, if | told you... | think | might have liked a man during that
year when | was in a coma, would you believe me?"
Carly remembered the unfamiliar non that note and her face turned even paler. "Your Majesty..."
"lI don't know where he cfrom or who he is or what he looks like. | don't even know if he really existed..." Selena's voice was
muffled and although she wasn't crying, the empty look in her eyes made it seem as though something important had been lost
from her life - more than tears could express. "But I'm sure that | loved him."
"I thought when he heard about my engagement news, he'd appear and cfindbut..." Her deep-set eyes held an intense
sense of grievance and fear. "He didn't come..."
"I miss him so much..."
"And yet... I'm more afraid of him..."
Carly had never seen Selena - whom she had raised since childhood - so heartbroken before; any hesitation Carly may have felt
previously vanished instantly.

She didn't understand why someone would send this note to Selena at such a tbut whoever did it must be someone who cared
deeply for Selena.
They would never hurt her.
Even if this decision led to consequences that couldn't be undone or caused trouble for them both - they wouldn't care.
Carly walked over to Selena with the note in hand and spoke softly: "Your Majesty, you are a strong and intelligent young woman;
no matter what happens next - | believe you have the courage to face it."
"You are entitled to decide your own future."
Selena looked down at the note in disbelief; it seemed as though she were finally finding direction after wandering aimlessly for so
long.
She stared at the note in her palm, a plain piece of paper that had always remained calm. But at this moment, her heart suddenly
began to beat violently.
It was like the legendary Pandora's box. As long as she gently opened it, she would discover the secret she had been searching for
so long.
Selena held onto the note tightly.
Carly looked at her and said, "Your Highness, | will try to distract the High Priestess for as long as | can. But tis limited. After
you finish reading it... do whatever you want."
After speaking, Carly turned and left.
Selena's gaze seemed glued to the small note in her hand. She carefully opened it like a precious treasure.
A familiar ncaught her eye.
Selena stared blankly at it. It should have been unfamiliar to her but upon seeing it for the first time, she recognized Osvaldo's
nwhich felt ingrained into every fiber of her being. Transparent tears fell down one by one from Selena's eyes while countless
memories flashed through her mind like fleeting shadows; each frfeaturing only one person - Osvaldo Anderson.
