Rebirth To Be The Revenge Queen

Chapter 1699: I'Ve Been Waiting For You.

Chapter 1699: I've been waiting for you.

Selena watched as a shell came hurtling towards her direction, but she had no strength left to dodge it.

Everyone around her had already perished in the destruction of Little Gaia. Her slender fingers

clenched tightly around the phone that was still pressed against her ear. She hadn't hung up yet, even

though she wasn't sure if Osvaldo could hear her voice amidst all the chaos and gunfire. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Despite knowing that the chances were slim, Selena whispered softly, "Osvaldo, I'll wait for you... even

if it's just my corpse." She only hoped that she wouldn't die too ugly of a death and let Osvaldo see her

in such an unappealing state.

It was just regretful that she hadn't been able to marry him before this deadly attack occurred.

As the lethal shell drew closer and closer to Selena, she suddenly shut her eyes tight and cried out one

last time: "Osvaldo!"

In an instant, there was a deafening explosion followed by towering flames erupting from where Selena

stood. The land beneath her feet transformed into a sea of fire within seconds.

In the command room nearby, Robert tensed up his nerves until he finally exhaled heavily with relief

after what felt like an eternity.

"Killing a great monarch is a sin that not everyone can bear. He didn't want Lillian to carry such a heavy

burden, so he took action and killed Selena once. But in the end, Lillian couldn't escape her fate of

killing the king with her own hands. She was even more cruel than him.

A year ago, out of respect and guilt, he chose to end the king's life with a knife and left Selena's body

intact. At the same time, he left behind hidden dangers for Lillian.

And Lillian herself shattered her cousin into pieces - the very monarch she had once been loyal to. This

time, even if Selena possessed something as powerful as "God's Light," an experiment that defied

humanity itself, she would never have had a chance to survive.

Robert turned his head and looked at Lillian standing before him. Her gaze fell on the fiery battlefield in

front of her - still firm and cold in expression but with an unusual hint of paleness on her face.

After a moment's silence, she spoke softly but cruelly: "Carpet bomb this area until there is no living

thing left!" Instantly all planes and armored vehicles began preparing their artillery for attack.

Lillian raised her head one last time to look towards where Selena was located before turning away

again; however just before she moved out of sight completely, she suddenly seemed to discover

something important causing her eyes widen abruptly as she turned back around saying "Wait--"

Time goes back to one minute ago.

At the moment when the shell flew over, Selena thought she was done for.

She closed her eyes and felt the high temperature rushing towards her. The scorching heat made her

look extremely ugly, as if she would die.

Just as she was about to be engulfed by the artillery fire, a strong force suddenly came from beside her

and abruptly pushed him away.

A pair of strong hands tightly embraced her body.

Selena was embraced into a familiar embrace.

The person flipped in mid-air, and he fell to the ground, while she tumbled into his arms.

Selena felt a familiar breath, and in an instant she opened her eyes. Through the billowing black

smoke, she saw a face that was extremely familiar to her.

Osvaldo's handsome face turned a ghastly shade of green as he held onto Selena's arm, trembling

uncontrollably.

Just one second more, and he would have lost her forever.

No one knew that when Osvaldo arrived, the person he cherished the most, the one he couldn't bear to

see a single hair fall from, was buried among the remains and carnage, all alone.

She held their dying "son" in her arms, her skirt was dirty, her hair was messy, and she looked

disheveled like never before... The man's heart felt as if it had been twisted into a knot.

At that time, she was like this, alone and died on the battlefield in a place he didn't know.

Today, he almost made her experience another such tragic event.

Osvaldo raised his hand and gently helped Selena tidy up her hair, wiping the blood stains off her face

little by little. "Selena, don't be afraid."

Selena's eyes suddenly turned red. "Osvaldo..."

She wanted to say that she was going to die.

No matter how powerful Osvaldo was, he was still a human being with flesh and blood.

But looking at those eyes filled with sadness and love, she couldn't bring herself to say those words.

In the end, she smiled and said, "I waited for you..."

A year ago, when she was on the brink of death, Stanley didn't come for her.

This time, she waited for Osvaldo.

Osvaldo held her face in his hands and kissed her forehead gently. He whispered softly, "I won't let you

die."

When Selena was five years old, leaving him felt like dying once.

When she was eighteen years old and on the battlefield, it felt like dying again.

This nineteen-year-old girl had experienced death twice already.

Even though she was so kind-hearted and strong-willed; even though she had saved so many people

and contributed so much to this world...

Despite not having done anything wrong herself; despite all the suffering that others had inflicted upon

her...

The darkness in Osvaldo's eyes grew deeper as he stood up while holding Selena. He looked up at the

fighter jets circling overhead.

And at that moment, Selena also saw Stanley standing on the other side, his face pale. His hand was

in a pushing motion. It was clear that he had just arrived as well, but he was still a step too late.

Osvaldo had saved Selena first.

A year ago, when Stanley arrived, he was also a step too late and she died in his arms. Now another

man had saved her again.

Were they truly not meant to be together in this lifetime?

Selena didn't notice the pain in Stanley's eyes at that moment. She saw him running out without seeing

Selena and her face suddenly changed: "Where is Selena?!"

Everything she did was to save Selena. If something happened to her, wouldn't all of her efforts be

wasted?

Stanley met her fierce gaze and tightened his face.

For a moment, he wanted to lose control and tell her that besides her, there was no one else he wanted

to save! He didn't want to be just an assistant who followed all of her commands; everything must

revolve around saving Selena!

He regretted... leaving just now! But looking at Selena's dark and bright eyes, surrounded by the smoke

of war, Stanley suppressed his emotions and said, "I handed her over to a man surnamed Poole."

Selena was stunned for a moment.

But soon she realized that with her orders in mind, Stanley would never hand her over to an unreliable

person. The surname Poole must be Christ. Although she didn't know why he was here, it wasn't time

to investigate. It was better for someone to secretly take Selena away than stay here.

Selena looked up and saw explosions happening among the fighter jets and armored vehicles

surrounding her. It was obvious that Osvaldo had brought people here too.

Just as Selena was about to speak, Osvaldo suddenly lowered his head and looked back at her face

again. She sensed something strange in his gaze...
