Chapter 1546 Can Never Go Back
Chapter 1546 Can Never Go Back If it were any other man, he wouldn't be able to remain so calm in this situation. But Stanley managed to hold it in.
It wasn't that he didn't love Selena. Anyone who had seen how he had taken care of the girl since she was young would never doubt the deep affection Stanley held for her. She was someone he cherished and loved deeply.
But when he saw Selena get engaged to another man before his very eyes, he not only held back his emotions, but also managed to keep his composure in front of her.
This kind of self-control was both powerful and terrifying.
Black Crow couldn't help but shiver when he remembered Stanley's expression upon hearing about Selena's engagement with another man.
He turned to White Crow and asked, "Did we make a mistake?" If they had told Stanley about Selena's situation in Creephia earlier, they couldn't be sure who she would end up with.
White Crow looked at the fading figures of Stanley and Selena walking side by side and shook his head after a long pause. "He just lost to bad timing." If Selena hadn't died on the battlefield, she would have most likely married Stanley after she grew up. If Stanley had found out earlier that Selena was reborn in Creephia, he might have had a chance to find her and bring her back. But he was, in the end, a step too late.
As soon as Osvaldo left the mansion, his expression turned cold.
In his plan, Stanley wouldn't arrive in the capital until tomorrow at the earliest. But something unexpected must have happened along the way, causing him to arrive a day early.
But the result wasn't too bad.
Selena was already engaged to him, and given her temperament, even if Stanley were to confess his feelings to her now, he would only be met with rejection.
Osvaldo took out his phone and called Luke.
Luke had no idea that his brother's night with his mistress was about to be ruined and joked, "Why do you have tto callnow?" For tonight, Osvaldo gave all the servants in the villa a day off, leaving only him and Selena. On such a beautiful and romantic night, Osvaldo, true to his nature, would not waste it on unrelated matters.
His tone was cold as he spoke, "There was an unexpected incident on the federal. Stanley arrived in the capital earlier and found out about it!" With Selena's identity already exposed, any unusual incident could potentially endanger her.
Luke's tone instantly becserious as he replied, "I understand.” Stanley's special status in the alliance made it difficult to investigate him. However, when it cto Selena's safety, no matter the cost, they had to uncover the truth of the incident.
Furthermore, Stanley had arrived in the capital tonight, and Luke was unaware of it. This was also his negligence.
With Stanley here, Selena was sure to have no mood to talk love with Osvaldo. This opportunity that he had been eagerly waiting for was gone... it was quite tragic.
Afraid of Selena being harmed, Luke promptly hung up the phone and got to work.
Osvaldo stood in the dark for a moment and then turned to look at the courtyard behind him, his eyes deep.
He remembered the hug that Stanley had given Selena.
If not for his strong self-control, he almost couldn't resist attacking him on the spot.
He didn't intervene because he knew that Selena needed that hug, but only this once! No one could take his wife away from him! Inside the mansion, Selena sat down on the sofa in the hall and looked up at Stanley.
Stanley habitually walked to the side, helped her with a cup of warm water, placed it in front of her, and then sat across from her.
Under the warm and bright light, two people who were familiar with each other to the extrlooked at each other face to face.
Stanley's gaze was focused, with something unfamiliar and incomprehensible in his eyes.
After a long time, Selena smiled first, "Are you looking atlike this because I have changed too much?" Even if they looked alike, there were still sthings that were different in the end.
Stanley said with a smile, "For me, Your Majesty being alive is more important than anything else in the world." The most terrifying thing he had ever experienced was seeing her lying in the center of a pile of bloody corpses.
Perhaps it was because of that gruesand shocking scene that he didn't lose control when he heard the news of Selena's engagement to that man.
Selena curved her red lips and asked, "Even if I lose everything in the empire, and am no longer me?" Stanley gazed at her lively features and tenderly replied, "In my heart, you will always be the most noble and beautiful queen of the empire." Selena's eyes deepened, "Stanley, I will go back, but I can never go back. Do you understand?" Stanley reached out his hand to her and said gently and devoutly, "Your Majesty, welchome." Selena smiled happily, like when they made a promise in their childhood, that he would assist her in becoming the greatest queen of the alliance, and put her hand in his.
Stanley looked at the delicate and precious hand in his palm, but before he could feel its warmth, Selena withdrew it.
She suppressed her smile and asked in a solemn tone, "How is my mother?" Stanley calmly withdrew his hand and whispered, "After receiving your message, Madam fell ill, and her condition is not good." He looked at Selena tenderly, "Not only Madam, but also your father and many others... Your Majesty, you should go back now." Selena smiled and turned her head to look out the window.
A bright moon hung in the night sky.
At this time, she should have been in Osvaldo's arms, telling him about her identity.
But it turned out that she had to talk with Stanley instead.
Regret and guilt rose in Selena’s heart.
But her habit of always putting aside personal matters and focusing on business made it impossible for her to act recklessly and go pursue her love.
Love is a luxury for those in power.
Compared to Osvaldo, she had too little tand attention to give to that man.
Selena suppressed the bitterness in her heart and put away all her romantic thoughts. When she withdrew her gaze, her eyes had regained their calmness and dignity.
"Telleverything that happened in the empire after my death!" The next morning at 7 o'clock, Selena finally walked out of the estate gate with Stanley's company, and outside, she saw Osvaldo waiting for her.
Selena was stunned.
A glint of intrigue flashed in Stanley's eyes.
Selena stared at the man walking towards her, biting her lip and her voice trembling, "You have been waiting forhere all along?" Osvaldo lowered his eyes and looked at her pale cheeks, "Didn't you promise to givea call when you are done?" "I..." Selena moved her lips, but no sound cout.
