Chapter 1701: I Love Him.
Chapter 1701: I Love Him.
In the year 2071 of the Empire, the central city was attacked by an unknown enemy. The suburban
pce was destroyed and the ruling official was critically injured. The ordinary citizens were terrified by
the sky-high gunfire, unable to sleep at night, and various terrifying spections emerged one after
another. As the situation seemed to be getting out of control, the monarch suddenly announced that
Queen Selena had awakened from a year-longa.
The entire country erupted in excitement andmotion.
The people instantly broke free from their low spirits and panic-filled atmosphere, collectively cheering
for Queen Selena''s return.
...
The night wind blew in through the window.
Selena''s eyshes trembled as she woke up from her deep sleep.
She opened her eyes, tears welling up inside them making everything blurry. After a while, she finally
saw where she was located - it was her pce where she lived as a queen - one of Empire''s most
sacred ces that no one dared to trespass upon or desecrate.
How did she end up here?
Wasn''t she supposed to be...
All memories before hera flooded back into her mind in an instant; Selena quickly got out of bed.
She climbed so urgently that she even fell directly onto the bed, scaring the maids who were standing
outside the door.
"Your Majesty!"
Selena looked at each familiar face and grabbed one person''s hand. "Why are you calling me Your
Majesty? I''m not... not..."
Some kind of intuition told her that she couldn''t admit it.
Once she admitted it, she wouldpletely lose something very important.
The maids were shocked. "Your Majesty, you''ve been unconscious for three days and just woke up..."
"I''m not!" Selena had never resisted this title so much before, shaking her head. "I am... the daughter of
the Turner family. I got married... when I woke up, I should have seen him... I should be in his room..."
She got married to a man.
She was now his wife.
She had her own home and husband.
Definitely not... Your Majesty...
If she was Your Majesty, then who was that man?
Were all the difficulties she experienced over the past year fake?
No...
She really got married; She has a husband.
She had to find him...
Selena got up and ran outside barefoot.
The maids looked at each other, seeing panic and worry in each other''s eyes.
"Go get Madam Samantha!"
Some went to fetch Madam Samantha while others chased after Selena.
As Selena reached the pce gates, she ran into Stanley who was walking towards her.
Selena''s eyes lit up as she rushed forward and grabbed his clothes. "Stanley? Where is he? Where did
Osvaldo go? Why hasn''t hee to see me? Did you stop him froming inside?"
If Osvaldo were here, he would never leave her side.
Stanley looked at her with ck eyes filled with panic. She stared back at him with a mixture of hope
and fear in her eyes.
Stanley gently fixed her hair while a hint of sadness lingered in his eyes. "Your Majesty, you''re losing
control."
Selena tightened her grip on his hand almost screaming out loud, "Where is he? Where did he go?"
Stanley closed his eyes tightly biting down on his teeth before saying,"Neither the Empire nor those
who came with you to Central City have found him..."
Not finding someone meant that there was a high possibility that they were dead without any remains
left behind!
Selena''s vision went ck, and her heart began to ache with suffocating pain. Her slender body gave
way, and she copsed onto the ground.
Stanley caught her just in time. "Your Highness..."
Selena''s face turned pale, tears glistening in her eyes. "You lied to me! He''s not busy, he just doesn''t
want to see me. I have to go find him..."
With that, Selena pushed Stanley away and ran outside.
Stanley grabbed hold of her hand and looked into her despairing eyes. He steeled himself for what he
had to say next: "Your Highness, it''s true! You know who he really is - if he were here, no one could
stop him from being by your side!"
Selena''s heart skipped a beat as she turned back towards Stanley.
In a cold voice, Stanley continued: "Everyone is looking for him - the monarchs, the judges'' court, the
can find him."
Suddenly Selena felt like she couldn''t breathe.
Her eyes became lifeless and barren in an instant.
Momentster she was sobbing uncontrobly in Stanley''s arms.
He watched as Selena lost control of herselfpletely - something he had never seen before from
this normally level-headed woman.
Even when she was gravely ill before this moment arrived; even then when she woke up after
recovering from illness; her first thought was always about important matters at hand rather than
personal feelings or emotions...
But now...
For that man, she lost herposure.
She didn''t care how she had regained her position as queen. She wasn''t happy to finally clear her
name with her partners, and she hadn''t even thought about seeking revenge against Lillian...
Her heart and mind were consumed by only one man...
Stanley looked at the person in his arms who was crying uncontrobly. He gently wiped away her
tears and said, "Your Highness, you should go get dressed and meet the monarch to inquire about ''the
light of God.'' Then we can make a n for revenge on behalf of those fallen heroes..."
Selena looked at Stanley through tear-filled eyes and whispered softly, "Stanley, I love him..."
She was just a girl.
Don''t be so hard on her.
Her beloved man''s fate was unknown. She couldn''t handle things like before when she acted like an
emotionless machine.
She couldn''t force herself not to think of him.
A momentary confusion shed in Stanley''s eyes as he said,"You love him..."
But I love you...
I loved you long before he did or ever will...
Stanley looked at Selena''s pained expression until he gently helped her up. "Your Highness, go change
your clothes then think carefully about what you should do next."
"You''re smart enough to figure it out."
Selena''s heart skipped a beat.
"It''s okay," she said. "I just haven''t found him yet."
"As long as she keeps looking, she''ll find him eventually," Osvaldo told her, reassuringly.
He had told her to wait for him toe back. And as long as she kept searching and waiting, she
would find her way back to him.
Selena was helped up by a maid and taken back to the bedroom. Stanley stood at the doorway for a

while before turning and walking away in another direction.
"Horace, I want to see the king," he said firmly.
Horace looked at the young man standing before him withplicated eyes before turning around and
walking inside. A momentter he came out again saying, "Mr. Soo, please follow me."
Stanley followed Horace into the room but no one knew what was said between them. As he left
though, Horace heard something that made his blood run cold: The noble son who had made a name
for himself in court spoke in an icy voice saying "Even if she never loves me back... I will never regret
it!"
In that dark night sky Horace saw this child whom he had watched grow up shed his elegant exterior
revealing an expression of cold paranoia that he had never seen before.
