Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh

Chapter 1557 The Opener of Sacred Pearl Stanley watched her uncomfortable expression as she put down her glass and let out a sigh, "Your Majesty, you've changed a lot." Selena was taken aback for a moment before she understood what Stanley meant and smiled, "Probably because he has taken very good care of me." When she was in the empire, she never easily expressed her likes or dislikes.

Selena looked up at Stanley, her eyes curved, "I didn't understand before, but he made me realize that before being a queen, | am first a girl." Stanley's gaze was deep and vaguely shrouded in something, "Is he really that good?" Selena's smile became even sweeter, and her slender hands propped up her chin, "He is really good, very good. From the first time | met him, he was very kind to me, just like you are to me." Stanley's voice was somewhat hoarse, "But | heard that he hurt you and made you spit blood..." Selena's bright eyes dimmed for a moment, shaking her head, "My spitting blood has nothing to do with him, and that incident was not intentional. It's all in the past.” Stanley's face turned pale, and he crouched down in front of Selena, looking into her eyes, "Your Majesty, this is not like you." Selena looked at his somewhat pained expression and smiled, "Stanley, do you know? After that incident, he gave me a knife." "He said that if he ever made me sad again, | should use that knife to dig out his heart." "A man who can give his life for me at any time, | can't help but forgive him and love him." Stanley said coldly, "Such an extreme man is even less suitable for you!" Selena looked at him in surprise, "Stanley, it's not like what you're thinking. Osvaldo is very gentle and chivalrous..." As if thinking of something happy, Selena smiled nostalgically, "When | first became Selena of Creephia, | was seriously injured, infamous, and had nothing. He gave me a home..." "Since | came to him, he has always treated me very well. He never lies to me, nor does he force me to do anything." "When | was injured, he would comfort me and take good care of me." "When those people slandered me, he never doubted me and always unconditionally believed in me, helped me, and protected me..." Selena smiled and looked into Stanley's eyes, "He is the best man | have ever met outside." Stanley looked at her deeply emotional expression and his voice became hoarse. "Your Highness, in this world, there is no one who is kind to another without any ulterior motive. He is only good to you because... he had a plan for you from the beginning!" Selena wasn't angry, she just looked at him calmly. "Stanley, what do you really want to say?" Stanley gently stroked her hair. "I just want to tell you that the man is not as simple as you think he is. | don't want you to rely too much on him!" Selena smiled slightly. "I know, but | choose to believe... that he truly loves me." Is Osvaldo really that simple and does Selena really know nothing about him? The answer is undoubtedly no.

"I know you're worried that I'll make the same mistake again,” Selena smiled. "I've had doubts like that before too." "My father told me from a young age that those in power, love fiercely but mercilessly, and they should trust but also be cautious.” "In my life, | have many people | can trust, but the only person | can truly rely on is myself." "At any time, | cannot put myself in a situation where | have no way out.” "| can love a man, but | can never trust a man unconditionally.” "But Stanley..." Selena said with a smile. "He loves me. He told me to trust him and that he will protect me. Besides that, he never interferes with anything I do.” "Respect, affection, protection, trust... these are the things he gives me." "And there is very little | can give him," Selena's eyes softened. "Stanley, | really like him." As Stanley looked at her deeply emotional expression and listened to her pure confession, his heart was pierced with pain.

He had raised the young girl himself and now she was telling him that she had fallen in love with another man...

Stanley's eyes became sad and he whispered, "I'm sorry, Your Highness..." He had failed to protect her and she had died a brutal death on the battlefield.

He had left her to fend for herself, to be trampled and harmed by those vicious wolves and leopards.

He had even lost her.

Selena knew why Stanley was apologizing and she looked at the young man's pale face without a trace of color and smiled gently. "I forgive you, Stanley." This person had been with her since childhood and he deserved to be forgiven.

Stanley looked at her with tender eyes, suppressing the strong emotions welling up inside him, and stood up.

His expression returned to a gentle elegance. "Lillian has another 'Sacred Pearl’ in her possession. If Robert brought it with him, you will be in great danger.” Selena smiled and shook her head. "Lillian probably hasn't obtained the other ‘Sacred Pearl’ yet." She had hidden both ‘Sacred Pearls’ in the basement, which was heavily guarded. It was likely that the other side had already lost a number of people in their attempt to retrieve one of them.

If the other ‘Sacred Pearl’ was really in Lillian's possession, they would not have let it slip away in the capital.

Stanley understood Selena’s meaning. But when he thought that Lillian had already reached out to Selena's residence, his gaze became cold.

"If Robert wants to kill me, he must first obtain the "Sacred Pearl that is locked in the research institute. So he must be contacting some of the aristocratic families in the capital right now..." Thinking of the gift she had sent to Osvaldo, which was now occupied by Diana, Selena's eyes became extremely cold. "That's just perfect. We can wipe them all out in one fell swoop!" Stanley frowned. "We can't let them really activate the ‘Sacred Pearl!" The danger of the ‘Sacred Pearl’ was too great. Once Robert really activated it, Selena would be in danger.

Selena smiled coldly. "No matter. | really want to know who, besides me, can activate the ‘Sacred Pearl’ in this world..." This was a doubt buried in Selena’s heart.

When Lillian's men killed Osvaldo, the ‘Sacred Pearl’ was already activated.

This meant that someone under Lillian's command could activate the ‘Sacred Pearl’.

And if they could activate the ‘Sacred Pearl’, it meant that they were also proficient in mechanics and had the opportunity to study the construction theory of the 'Sacred Pearl"...

Selena already had a suspect in her heart and was just waiting for confirmation.

She stood up slowly. "My "Sacred Pearl" has been left outside for too long. This is a perfect opportunity to openly take it back!"
