Chapter 1709: The Grand Wedding.

The man in front of her had a dark glint in his eyes.

"Why did you suddenly cto this place?" he asked.

"lI don't know," she replied. "I was just waiting for him to snap out of it, and then I found myself standing here."

There seemed to be skind of bond driving him here, even if he didn't realize it.

The girl didn't get a response and her eyes becmore pitiful. She began talking again.

She turned her head and looked at the door of the research institute not far away with longing. "The research institute is the most

dangerous and safest place in Central City. There are countless super geniuses there, each one making waves."

Seeing that the man wasn't interested at all, she changed topics again. "And among them, the youngest and most talented genius

is Central City's Queen. My father toldthat she's not only the strongest super genius in Central City's research institute but also

Lab 717's greatest treasure."

"You said earlier," interrupted the man suddenly, "that Central City's Queen... is a super genius from Lab 717?"

It was the first tthat he spoke up on his own accord so she was surprised for a moment before immediately getting excited

again as she started talking about what interested him.

"Yes! The Queen is an extremely rare scientific talent who has brought Central City's scientific level to new heights during her

reign."

After looking around to make sure no one else was listening, she lowered her voice and continued speaking: "My father told me

that privately, The Queen created an android with technology beyond this era which protects our entire alliance but due to certain

reasons cannot be made public knowledge; this robot is hidden within this very research institute."

Seeing how intently he listened now after being uninterested before made her continue even further: "Not only is The Queen smart

but also incredibly beautiful; many young talents from across our empire have fallen for her."

"And The Queen's fiancé happens to be a nobleman who grew up alongside Her Majesty since childhood."

A dangerous glint flashed through his eyes involuntarily as his voice beclow and cold once more: "What's The Queen's name?"

Taken aback by his sudden change in demeanor yet still looking into those piercing eyes of his without realizing it herself until later

on when reflecting back upon their encounter -she answered subconsciously- "Selena Riddle...her nis Selena Riddle."

After returning from her meeting with the palace, Selena immediately began issuing one command after another. Each order was

aimed directly at Lillian and was openly announced to the empire. The moment these orders were given, the entire empire seemed

to be on edge.

The conflict between the regent and queen had been brought to light and was now on the brink of exploding. Selena's sudden

change in behavior left people sleepless with confusion.

As queen of the empire, Selena had always been cautious in her actions, minimizing losses and risks before making any decisions.

However, this tshe seemed completely enraged, using aggressive tactics that were vastly different from her usual style.

If things continued down this path, even if she emerged victorious in this struggle for power, it would cat a great cost.

Despite this knowledge though, no one dared approach her with advice or counsel when faced with those deep black eyes of hers.

Late into the night Stanley entered Selena's chamber where he found her buried in paperwork. He looked at her tired face before

saying gently "Your Highness it is late; you should rest."

Selena put down her pen and lifted up a snow-white face tinted slightly blue around the edges as she replied softly "There is no

need."

In times past she had been frail due to poor health but after a year spent recovering from an extended coma both physically and

mentally she was stronger than ever before.

Selena's suspicion deepened as she read through the documents. Stanley handed her a hot towel, and she wiped her hands before

asking, "Did you find anything?"

Stanley shook his head. "Miss Governor, the person is heavily protected. We can't find any opportunity to investigate."

Selena's eyes turned cold as she smiled and said, "If we can't find anything, then we should tell Robert about it. As Lillian's

confidant, he should have an easier tinvestigating than us."

But if Lillian was deliberately hiding this person from Robert, it meant that his existence must not be known to him.

Once there was a rift between Robert and Lillian, they would have an opportunity to discover each other's identities.

Listening to Selena speak calmly and methodically, Stanley remained silent for a moment before saying,"Your Majesty, your

wedding is in three days."

Selena was taken aback. "Has tpassed so quickly?"

It was almost tfor the wedding day but they still hadn't found that person...

Stanley looked at her expressionless face and felt his heart ache as he said softly,"You should rest well."

Selena smiled lazily with almost indifference in her tone,"It doesn't matter."

She lowered her eyes back on the table full of documents."Order someone to keep an eye on the governor. If there is any

movement at all letknow immediately!"

As Stanley watched Selena with no hint of joy or anticipation in her expression, his heart hurt, and he slowly lowered his eyelashes.

Three days later, the Queen of Central City got married, and everyone rejoiced together.

Selena's bedroom was bustling early in the morning. Carly was directing the maids to get everything ready. Despite the excitement

and anticipation of the people, Selena, as the queen, felt like an outsider.

She had been pulled out of bed early in the morning and now lay bored by the window, looking up at the sky above her head.

Behind her on a hanger hung a pristine white wedding dress.

At this point in time, that person still hadn't shown up.

Carly had secretly searched all over town with her team but they couldn't find him anywhere. Selena's mood was visibly low as she

muttered to herself: "Where are you?"

She had high hopes that he would show up on this day. If they truly loved each other, he wouldn't just stand by and watch her

marry another man - or so she thought.

But he still hadn't come...

Had he really already...?

Selena bit her lip and suddenly felt an urge to throw away her wedding dress and run out to find him no matter what it took. But

before she could act on it, she heard wheelchair wheels rolling behind her.

The High Priest cin with several maids following closely behind him.

The maids carried trays filled with jewelry that represented the royal status and dignity.

The high priest smiled, "Your Majesty is finally getting married. This is a great celebration for all of us. I have been ordered to come

and help the Queen get ready."

Selena looked at his smiling face and suddenly remembered that in the tradition of the empire, a lucky elder would be chosen to

help the bride get ready on her wedding day.

She took a deep breath and pushed down her worst fears, forcing herself to calm down.

It wasn't over yet.

She still had tand opportunity.

Perhaps that person had already arrived but just hadn't shown up yet.

She was the Queen after all.

A Queen must bear the consequences of every decision she makes.
