Rebirth To Be The Revenge Queen

Chapter 1617 - Different Only with the help of "Gaia" could Ace of Hearts investigate what they couldn't uncover on their own.

But if "Gaia" were to intervene, it would mean that person is connected to the Riddle Group empire.

After all this time, Selena finally realized something.

That man had the aura of the Riddle family royalty about him.

Although he tried his best to hide it, Selena's attention was not focused on that at the time. But upon reflection, she noticed sclues.

Selena looked seriously at Stanley and said, "Stanley, | suspect there are other bloodlines in this generation of the Riddle Group empire besides Lillian and me." "You investigate this matter personally and don't let anyone know," Stanley replied with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. "Why do you think so?" "The royal bloodline is rare. If it really exists, your father wouldn't want you to bear such a heavy burden.” Being an carefree princess isn't less happy than being a queen right? Especially for Selena who has been sickly since childhood; her father wouldn't have let her suffer if there were other options available.

Moreover, if that boy becemperor and continued treating her well like he did before... under his protection she could live freely without any worries or cares unlike now where she's exiled because of power struggles...

Selena didn't understand why but her intuition told her that he was definitely related to her in sway... and she wanted to find him! Selena's expression becfirm as she thought about it. "Once we find out, we'll know why," she said.

Stanley looked at Selena's cold eyes and nodded in agreement.

There was something that Stanley had never told Selena. When he was ten years old and cto live with her, he occasionally noticed that the little girl would do certain things unconsciously that were not in line with her personality when she was around him.

For example, when they ate together and the maid wasn't looking, Selena would unconsciously pick out all of the vegetables from her bowl and give them to him. After picking them out, she realized that this behavior wasn't appropriate.

As a queen, even towards those closest to her, it was impossible for her to suddenly act so recklessly unless... she had becaccustomed to doing so in front of someone very close who allowed her unlimited freedom.

This kind of abnormal behavior happened many times during his first year with Selena. As Selena grew older, these actions becless frequent until they stopped altogether.

Although Stanley felt something strange at the time, he didn't think much about it until he heard about the person from Selena herself. In an instant, Stanley realized that this person must have had a deep connection with Selena and may have been someone whom young Selena relied on heavily.

But now she couldn't remember anything.

Stanley knew that Selena had lost a portion of her memory.

According to rumors in the Empire, a group of ruthless mercenaries broke into the palace and kidnapped the young princess.

The princess was eventually found, but due to the shock she suffered, she developed a high fever and forgot about being kidnapped.

Afterwards, the emperor at that tordered everyone to never mention this incident again.

At ten years old, Stanley only vaguely felt something was off upon hearing this news.

But as he grew older, he realized just how many loopholes there were in this event.

Leaving aside how strict Riddle Group's empire defense was at that tor how many people protected Selena as the only blood heir to the royal family. Even if all of world's mercenaries rushed over without her actively running out of palace grounds herself, they wouldn't be able to harm even one hair on her head.

So then... how did little Princess disappear back then? Did she really forget about that memory because of her fever? And also... did she forget about being kidnapped or... someone else? Selena quietly watched Stanley's contemplative expression without interrupting him with words.

After a moment passed by, Stanley lifted his head and looked towards Selena before letting out a small sigh. "Your Majesty..." Selena gazed back at him. "Stanley, do you have something you want to tell me?" "I don't know," Stanley said. "But | will do my best to fulfill your wishes." Selena smiled, "Stanley, you are the person | trust the most, so you won't hide anything from me, right?" Stanley couldn't give an answer.

Because if the truth was really what he thought it was, he naturally wanted Selena to fulfill a long-standing wish and be happy.

But if that person's existence could make Selena's parents feel like she had forgotten about him and that would be good for her, Stanley couldn't guarantee what choice he would make.

If that person's existence were exposed and it hurt Selena, would he tell her the truth? Yes.

Stanley could indeed help Selena investigate the truth. He was even the only one who could do this by her side.

In this world, anyone who has ever existed will always leave a trace. Even if their existence has been erased by "Gaia".

Because once that person is truly related to Riddle Group's imperial bloodline, those noble families in the empire who have cof age also know of their existence. For example... Stanley's father! He was one of His Majesty's most trusted ministers and knew many secrets about the royal family. Even if he didn't know everything about this situation with certainty but must have heard something before.

After remaining silent for a long tStanley looked up at Selena tenderly and said: "Your Majesty, | will never hurt you." Selena shook her head, That's not enough, Stanley, he means a lot towhen | see him..." Selena placed her hand over her heart and whispered, "It will be difficult, it will hurt, and I'll have the urge to get closer..." "When he's gone, I'll feel lost..." Selena looked directly into Stanley's eyes. "Helpfind him. No matter what happens, I'l take full responsibility!" Stanley knew Selena well enough to understand the weight of her words.

She was willing to do whatever it takes to find that person! Stanley stood up gracefully and walked over to the garden flowers. After a long pause, Selena heard him say softly, "Okay." Selena smiled happily.

She knew that Stanley had agreed - even if it meant revealing the truth at great personal cost.

Looking at Selena's joyful expression, Stanley couldn't help but feel a bit helpless. "Selena... it's not that simple.” "If things are really as you suspect and with your father's influence in the empire... there isn't anyone who would dare tell us the truth - not even my own father..." After all, Selena's ethereal father was someone no one dared cross unless absolutely necessary.
