Chapter 1726: Do you hate her?
Selena held Leia's hand and pointed the gun at herself, "Here, I'll tell you what to do, you'll feel less pain..."
Leia sensed something and her whole body froze.
In the next second, there was a bang sound.
Selena has an extra blood hole on her shoulder.
She looked at the stunned Leia, her lips pale, and asked gently, "Has this reduced your pain?"
Leia stared at the blood on her shoulder, shocked and unable to react.
Osvaldo, who was startled by the sound of gunshots, immediately burst in from outside the door.
At a glance of the scene in front of him, the man's gaze turned cold and he struck Leia, sending her flying.
Osvaldo supported Selena with one hand and pulled out a gun with the other, aimed at Leia and was about to pull the trigger, but Selena grabbed his arm first and said, "Don't kill her!"
Leia fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. She looked at Selena, who was being held by Osvaldo, and suddenly burst into tears, saying "Madam, I didn't want to do it, I didn't want to do it but..."
She looked at the blood on her hands that belonged to Selena, with a heart-wrenching expression of confusion on her face, and cried out, "You killed my parents and so many children. Shouldn't I hate you?"
Overnight, she lost her home, her parents, everything...
Other people who were alerted by the sound of the robbery arrived at the scene and were all shocked when they heard Leia's words.
Selena held her injured shoulder and took slow steps towards Leia. Her eyes were pitch black, while her lips were incredibly pale. "I killed your father and mother, and I even nearly killed you. You hate me... and it's justified."
Leia's face was filled with tears as she looked up at her in confusion.
"I'm sorry, but I can't die at your hands!" Selena looked at Leia one last time and gave the order, "Take her downstairs to recover."
Immediately someone stepped forward and took hold of Leia, leading her away.
After a moment of silence on the scene, Selena spoke coldly. "When Joanna comes back, hand Leia over to her."
At this critical moment, she couldn't leave anyone around who could potentially kill her at any time.
After speaking, Selena was carried back to the bedroom by Osvaldo.
Patrick wanted to follow them but Oscar spoke up. "The Alliance President will heal her injuries. At this time it's best not to disturb her."This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Selena was deeply emotional and it seemed that everyone including Osvaldo was causing her pain.
In the bedroom with Osvaldo carrying Selena back into the room, she tried hard to maintain a strong front but eventually broke down in his arms trembling. A tear fell from the corner of her eye.
Osvaldo saw how fragile and pale she looked and his eyes were filled with anger. He put Selena down on the bed and gently stroked her snow-white face while looking into her eyes saying."Selena listen to me - you did nothing wrong."
"That order was given by me." Selena said, her face expressionless but tears falling from her eyes. "I saw them die in front of me, including the couple who tried to protect their daughter."
Eight years later, their daughter would come to Selena's side and protect her for all this time. It was a cruel irony for both Leia and Selena.
Osvaldo's heart ached as he gently wiped away Selena's tears. "Selena killed them to save more people," he said. "If she didn't do it, more innocent children would have died."
"You're the kindest and greatest queen there is," he added.
"No one does it better than you."
Life is full of difficult choices, and Selena's only sin in life was those children who died.
She closed her eyes lightly and fainted in Osvaldo's arms.
Leia was locked up in a room after receiving medical treatment for her injuries. Her safety was crucial at this point because of what had happened with Selena.
If Leia wasn't a victim of the underground city or someone who had been with Selena for so long, then punishment wouldn't have been so light on her.
Leia was led into an empty room,
dazed and confused. Overnight, her life had been turned upside down and her beliefs shattered. She had even hurt the person she had sworn to protect for a lifetime. en.swnovels.net
The carefree girl now looked lost and pained.
She didn't know how long it had been when the light outside the window seemed to dim and brighten again.
Another night passed until finally, someone opened the tightly closed door from outside.
A slender figure walked in with slow steps, stopping in front of Leia with a cold breath.
Leia smelled a faint scent that reminded her of winter's last fragrance lingering in snow. She instinctively lifted her head only to see a pair of clear black eyes that were very attractive.
Her muddled thoughts didn't even consider who this person might be as he bent down slightly with his pale fingers holding onto her chin. "Do you hate her?" he asked softly.
Leia met his gaze up close like staring into an abyss but suddenly shivered as if waking up from a dream. Even though she was still confused, she became more alert than before while adding caution on her face. "Who are you?!" She demanded because she'd never seen him before nor heard any sound indicating his arrival here!
The person stared into her eyes and asked again, "Do you hate her?"
Leia shivered at the coldness in his tone.
She somehow understood that he was talking about Selena.
She hated Selena...
Leia's eyes became blank.
The person pressed his fingers hard and a cold laugh escaped from his thin lips. "Why do you hate her?!"
Leia winced in pain, her eyes becoming even more confused.
Selena killed her parents, killed so many children... shouldn't she hate Selena?
The person sneered, "It's not just you who lost something. She lost just as much as you did!"
"She is the queen of Riddle Group Empire, high above everyone else! She can have anything she wants!"
"The one who created all these sins is someone who loves her dearly!"
"If she were selfish, she could have ignored everyone and let the killer go free. Even then, no one could touch her!"
"But for your sake, she killed him with her own hands."
"She didn't do anything wrong. She even avenged you. Why do you blame and hate her?!"
Leia's pupils widened dramatically.
She wanted to vehemently refute something, but she remembered the desolate and cold gaze of Selena when she first heard about the situation between Callum and Neveah in the Creephiate Riddle family mansion.
She said,
"The interests of humanity outweigh everything else! It is both a mistake and a truth!"
