Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo)
Chapter 1703

Chapter 1703: That Someone

Selena sat on her balcony, gazing up at the half-moon in the night sky. She absentmindedly took the tea that Stanley handed to

her and sipped it, then handed it back to him. "Don't worry about me," she said softly. "I'll find him eventually."

With that, she walked over to the fountain and stood there, looking up at the moon with a longing in her eyes.

Stanley watched her silently from behind as she suddenly stumbled and fell towards the ground. He caught her easily in his arms

and carried her back to their bedroom.

He helped Selena out of her shoes and tucked her into bed before kissing her forehead gently. Then he left quietly, instructing their

servants not to disturb Selena's rest unless absolutely necessary.

As he walked out of the palace gates into the starry night sky a year later, Stanley looked up at the stars with dark eyes filled with

regret. "Please forgive me," he whispered under his breath as he disappeared into darkness.

On a warm afternoon, in the luxurious palace, the sound of tables and chairs clashing could be heard. In front of her subjects, Her

Majesty the Queen was squatting on a table, hugging a pillar with no expression on her face while Emperor urged the maidservants

to "catch it quickly!" The maidservants hurriedly searched every corner of the hall without leaving any gap.

A young man with black hair walked in elegantly and saw this chaotic scene. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's going on?"

The maidservant took a moment to answer his question. "Two cockroaches appeared out of nowhere this afternoon and scared Her

Majesty."

It was no secret that since childhood, Queen Selena had been afraid of bugs. When she was younger, seeing bugs would make her

panic and scream for everyone to catch them. As she grew older, she learned to endure it but still couldn't shake off her fear

completely.

At first glance, there seemed to be nothing unusual about her now but her actions were far from ladylike. If there were any place

for her to climb up along the pillar all the way up onto the wall if it weren't for lack of foothold in that area.

While maidservants were busy catching bugs Stanley cleared his throat lightly as he walked over towards Selena extending his

hand saying,"Your Highness there are no insects here cdown." Just as Selena was about to cdown from table she looked

down only see another black cockroach being caught by one of maid servants from behind chair which made all hairs stand up at

once.

She climbed up the column without any expression, seemingly calm but actually going crazy inside.

"Ahhhhhhh! How can there be such a terrifying creature like bugs in this world?!"

That someone, someone, someone still hasn't cto help her catch the bug. Ugh!

Suddenly, Selena was stunned by a thought. "Who is that someone?"

Stanley looked at her helplessly as she hung on the column like a koala bear. He was both angry and amused. "Selena, cdown

and let's go have lunch outside."

Reluctantly climbing down from the pillar with her dress in hand, Selena walked out of the palace with what seemed to be an

elegant but swift pace.

On the emerald green lawn, maidservants arranged lunch one after another.

Stanley pulled out a chair for Selena who washed her hands before sitting down at the table.

A plate of celery was placed in front of Selena which made Stanley furrow his brows and glare at the maid with a hint of severity.

"Don't you know that Her Majesty doesn't eat celery?"

The maid was startled and knelt down half-white faced while stammering,"But..."

Selena strangely glanced at Stanley before blurting out,"Being picky isn't good for your health though..."

Upon hearing these words, Selena was stunned. Who told her this? She had never eaten celery before. When did she start liking it?

Stanley looked at her with a vacant expression and tightened his grip on the armrest of his chair. "Your Highness..."

Selena couldn't think of an answer, so she put the question aside for now and simply frowned at Stanley in front of her. She waved

her hand to dismiss the maid standing next to her and said, "It's just a plate of celery, no big deal."

The maid left gratefully.

Stanley pushed aside his thoughts and sat down to have lunch with Selena.

After finishing their meal, Selena took the hot towel handed to her by a maid and wiped her hands before gesturing for everyone

around them to leave.

Only she and Stanley remained in place.

Selena stood in the garden, picked up a flower casually, played with it in her palm while speaking lightly but coldly: "She's coming

back?"

A year ago, there was an unknown attack on the empire which left its ruler severely injured. He was sent overseas by his mother

that snight for treatment.

After one year of recuperation abroad he is finally returning home.

Stanley's eyes turned cold as he replied: "Her Royal Highness visited His Majesty this morning and confirmed that Miss Prime

Minister is already on route back."

Selena's expression changed in an instant, a half-smile on her lips but her eyes deep and forbidding. "Now that you're back, we can

finally settle the score," she said.

Stanley looked at the girl's cold, white profile. In Selena's memory, Lillian and Robert had turned on her in their final moments on

the battlefield. She had been unconscious for a whole year after that before waking up to find out that Lillian had been brutally

attacked during a terrorist raid by the Empire.

At that time, the Empire was in turmoil with senior researchers fleeing with classified information and Gaia under attack from

unknown forces. The royal court was also unstable as those in power were openly taking sides and there were already signs of

them forcing Queen Selena to abdicate.

With so much going on, Selena didn't have tto seek revenge against Lillian before embarking on stabilizing the situation within

the Empire.

Now after a year of recuperation and restoration of order within her kingdom, it was tfor Selena's audacious cousin who

attempted regicide to return home.

Selena smiled faintly as she crushed petals between her fingers. "My aunt crossedas Empress when she challenged my father

despite being an elder relative," she said. "Her repeated disrespect towardshas leftdispleased."

Her tone suddenly becsharp: "Stanley, send someone to Duke Manor and teach Princess smanners so she knows who is

really running this empire!"
