Chapter 1716: All Wishes are Desires Fulfilled.
The girl was leaning against the window, looking in the direction of the palace with a sad expression on
her face. She cried so much that she almost couldn't breathe.
She couldn't understand why, but after coming to the central city, the man she admired had become the
queen's man in one fell swoop...
She was sad, angry and puzzled, but didn't even have the qualification to fight for him.
Her father was just a mediocre nobleman and she didn't dare to compete with the queen for her man
by being willful and ignorant.
All she could do was be sad by herself.
Her brother stood aside, watching his sister's sad appearance and sighed before turning his gaze
towards their father.
"Father, what exactly is going on?"
Just as their father was about to speak, clear footsteps suddenly came from outside of the door.
The next second, someone pushed open the door from outside.
A familiar figure stood outside with a slender body and looked coldly at this family of three inside.
Without that mask covering his face anymore, his charming features were fully exposed. Coupled with
some lingering demonic energy that hadn't completely dissipated from escaping out of vortex earlier
made him look like he could charm anyone he wanted.
The girl blushed as she looked at him happily before running towards him. "You're back!"
But before she could run over there completely unbridledly , her own father and brother stopped her in
time.
The girl only cared about being happy without noticing how cold and murderous-looking he appeared in
his eyes.
This person... definitely did not come here to thank them for saving his life!
Osvaldo's cold gaze locked onto the middle-aged man in the room. "Tell me, a year ago, did you save
me by accident or were you ordered to do so?"
The middle-aged man's face twitched slightly. "It was purely accidental..."
Osvaldo raised his hand and pointed a knife at the young girl. "I don't like it when people lie to my face.
This is your last chance!"
The young girl looked at the sword pressed against her throat, her face turning pale.
She wanted to scream but her brother covered her mouth before she could.
The young man turned to his father with an anxious expression. "Father!"
After a year of being around this man, they knew he was ruthless and cruel.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up under the threat of harm to his
children. "Someone told me about you - that day I happened to be passing through your area when
someone handed me a note saying that if I saved you, there would be great rewards in store for me."
In reality, when he found this man he had already been bandaged up by someone else.
They simply brought him back with them.
His only relief now was that they hadn't done anything harmful towards him during this past year.
After all... wasn't Osvaldo considered royalty?
In a cold voice Osvaldo asked: "Where is that note?"
The middle-aged man produced it and handed it over without hesitation.
With his answer obtained, Osvaldo withdrew his knife and left without another word.
After he left, the young girl looked at the empty doorway and suddenly burst into tears. "Brother, he's so
scary. I'll never like him again..."
Her older brother comforted her while feeling relieved.
...
Osvaldo walked out of the hotel and pulled out the note with its clear handwriting, staring at it for a few
seconds.
He had seen that same handwriting before.
In the capital.
The day Selena got engaged to him, she went to see Aarav who gave her a note. Although Osvaldo
didn't fully read it, he remembered the writing on it from just one glance.
It was exactly like this one in his hand now.
The conflict between Riddle Group's two ladies had reached its climax. For years, Aarav had been
secretly protecting Selena and couldn't rest easy until he personally entered Central City himself. But
where was he now?
Osvaldo put away the note and looked towards the direction of Administrative Hall before turning
towards the palace's direction.
...
At that moment inside Administrative Hall, many people were also sleepless for a night.
The guard standing outside the closed door looked worried. Ever since Miss Regent returned from His
Majesty's wedding yesterday, she had locked herself inside and hadn't come out yet.
The Queen's wedding had been interrupted by a sudden change of groom. And this new groom was
someone many of them had seen with their own eyes during the Rose Palace massacre a year ago. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Just thinking about those eyes filled with slaughter and cruel domination sent shivers down their
spines.
Now, the Queen was back on her throne, and that man had also returned. The situation that once
favored them suddenly turned against Miss Regent, making things particularly difficult for her.
On this night in the administrative hall, people were anxious while an enclosed dark room remained
silent and cold. A young woman dressed in military uniform with peach blossom eyes knelt on the
ground with a knife by her side. She gazed up at a self-portrait of the founding queen hanging on the
wall before speaking softly to it.
"Your Majesty Yingzong," Lillian stared at the portrait wistfully as if lost in thought, "you once said that
as long as you were here to defend our borders and conquer all enemies, you would establish Riddle
Group's eternal foundation! Even after your passing when your soul became one with dragons', you
would bless our empire to thrive forever!"
"And I share your belief!"
"If I cannot achieve my wishes in this life, I would rather die trying!"
"I swear by the sun and moon, witnessed by heaven and earth, heard by gods and demons alike!"
As dawn broke, the woman who had been sitting all night finally stood up. She drew the knife from her
side, its sharp edge glinting in her cold peach blossom eyes.
Lillian held onto the knife tightly as she stepped out of the dark room. Standing straight under the gray
sky with her snow-white blade pointed directly at the palace, she spoke in a chilling voice that echoed
through every ear in the administrative hall.
"Gather all my people tonight and follow me to attack the palace!"
...
Under that same sky, Selena let down her hair as she stood on a porch looking towards the
administrative hall. Carly walked over with a white cloak to help Selena put it on gently while
asking,"Your Majesty, why don't you sleep for a little longer?"
It was Selena's wedding night last night but not only did her groom disappear but even Selena herself
woke up unusually early.
Selena looked towards where the palace was located with black eyes shining dimly,"Carly... the
weather is about to change."
Carly paused for a moment before instinctively looking up at the sky above their heads where she saw
nothing but grayish-white clouds.
The weather today doesn't seem too good, but... is that what you meant, Your Highness?
Carly instinctively looked towards Selena, but all she saw was a disturbing calm.
She looked at Selena's frail body. "Your Highness, it's getting cold. Let's go back to the room."
Selena smiled faintly. "The scenery around the city has developed well in the past year. Why don't you
go visit my mother and have her take my mother out for some fresh air?"
