Chapter 1721: Aarav
Aarav stood in the midst of flames, his gaze towards the palace filled with a chilling coldness. "From now on... no one can ever
threaten her again!"
By the tOsvaldo returned, Selena had already been taken back to her quarters.
The man stood outside the door, watching as a group of people tended to his small wife's wounds. His face was grim.
Selena noticed him looking and turned her head towards him. "Osvaldo..."
Last tshe had angered him was when she faced down the underground virus alone.
This time...
Selena thought that Osvaldo would be angry or upset or even refuse to speak with her again. She was prepared for it all.
But after standing there motionless for stime, he slowly walked over to her.
He chased everyone out and personally tended to all of Selena's wounds before changing her clothes for fresh ones.
Then, Osvaldo gently kissed Selena's hair and said with soft eyes, "Thank you Selena. You protected my girl."
Osvaldo understood Selena; he knew why she worked so hard and trained so diligently alongside him - it was all because she
wanted to reclaim what she had lost before.
Tears welled up in Selena's eyes at his words.
Osvaldo reached out and carefully pulled her into his embrace, giving his wife the comfort and company that only a husband could
provide.

Selena rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes gently.
After calming down, Selena opened her eyes with anticipation and asked, "What about him?"
Although Osvaldo didn't explicitly say who he took away from her at this moment, how many people in the world could it be?
Benjamin and Lauren were far away in the capital city. If it wasn't for Osvaldo's parents being removed from the equation, then it
had to be related to Selena. Madam Samantha was sent out of the palace by Selena herself, Lillian couldn't find her either. The
monarch didn't need to worry about younger generations like them. After eliminating all impossibilities, there was only one
possibility left...
Osvaldo remained silent for a few seconds before gently patting Selena's shoulder and finally saying, "He askedto take you to
the underground city."
The underground city was where Selena suffered as a child.
She had fallen there before.
But since Aarav dared to ask him to take Selena there while he happened to be within "God's love," it meant that he would help
Selena untie that knot so she could stand up again.
Selena blinked for a moment before suddenly becoming happy. "Okay! When | feel better we'll go together to find... Brother Aarav."
A hint of surprise flashed through Osvaldo's eyes as he asked incredulously: "How does Selene know his name?"
"Lillian told me," replied Selene softly while resting on his shoulder. "Not just that but also that he saved bothand my sister
with ‘God's light'."
It was just speculation before...
And Lillian's words confirmed the result for Selena completely. But then she began to doubt something else. She had always
suspected that the big brother had a close blood relationship with her. But when Lillian mentioned his nwith a touch of
tenderness in her tone, Selena's suspicions about herself arose again. If he was related to her by blood, then he must also be
related to Lillian by blood. Would Lillian like someone who was related to her? Or maybe he only had a relationship with his mother
and not his father?! Selena bit her lip and could only temporarily put aside the doubts in her heart until she went underground
where she would be able to see him personally and know everything.
Osvaldo looked at Selena's hopeful and expectant eyes, his gaze deepening. If even Aarav himself said that his existence was
harmful to Selena, even reaching the point where after thinking of him again, she could ruthlessly erase him from her memory...
Could Osvaldo still reveal their relationship without hesitation? It seemed that he would have to dig deeper into the grudges
between the older generation of Riddle Group Empire.
Osvaldo gently patted Selena and coaxed her into sleep. The biggest crisis had passed.
The next thing she knew, there was Osvaldo, Stanley, and the ruler... she didn't need to personally get involved as an injured
person.
Selena was coaxed by the men and quickly fell asleep.
When she woke up again, it was already noon on the second day.
Osvaldo helped her get dressed. Selena's hand was injured and he personally fed her lunch before she finally had enough energy
to pay attention to what happened next.
She sat on a blanket while Osvaldo checked the wound on her hand. Stanley stood across from them reporting what happened last
night.
"... Miss Governor fled with her confidant."
"There was a big fire at Princess's mansion last night. A body has been found inside and it has been confirmed that it is Princess
herself who died of suffocation.”
Selena wasn't particularly surprised about Lillian fleeing. Cunning as a fox with multiple hideouts - if Lillian had gone this far, there

After all, she had been in charge of the research institute for so many years.
"Order a search throughout the entire territory for Lillian's whereabouts. If you find her, don't kill her; bring her back to me!"
Unless absolutely necessary, Selena wouldn't let Lillian die easily. That woman's fate should be sent to military court as revenge for
those fallen heroes!
"As for Princess - being both a mother of rebels’ leader and dead - according to regulations cannot enter into imperial tombs after
death; just bury anywhere."
As for why Tabitha committed suicide out of fear, it was probably related to her father.
Selena didn't plan on delving into it.
Stanley glanced at Osvaldo and then turned and walked out.
Osvaldo looked at the wound on Selena's hand and furrowed his brow slightly. Selena's hands were priceless in any field, but now
they were injured like this...
Selena turned around and looked at Osvaldo's dark eyes with a smile. "Don't worry, | checked the wound myself. There won't be
any after-effects."
Osvaldo re-bandaged her wound. "Don't be so willful in the future!"
Selena nodded with a smile.
After the crisis had passed, she finally had energy to deal with other things that she hadn't been able to before. "My mother-in-law
and Mr. Tang should have already arrived. Let's go to the estate this afternoon, I'll treat your brothers to dinner."
When Selena married Osvaldo, Lauren and Benjamin couldn't make it in tso they just bowed towards the capital from afar.
But when Osvaldo was missing for a year without news of his whereabouts, as a mother Lauren couldn't sit still anymore.
Osvaldo stood up and helped Selena change into her outdoor clothes before taking her out of the door.
