Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh

Chapter 1720 - Selena's Victory "It was the emperor who destroyed everything!" Selena coughed up sblood, her red lips stained with it. "I was an empress, and there was peace and prosperity. You were a king, and the people suffered!" "My father did nothing wrong!" She grabbed Lillian's wrist tightly, throwing her to the ground with force before punching her in the face. "This time, you lost!" Lillian's eyes turned red as she struggled to get up. "I didn't lose! | never will!" Spencer arrived with Margot just in tto see two elegant ladies of the empire fighting like wild beasts, covered in blood and lacking their usual grace.

Spencer closed his eyes in despair at what he saw.

This is going to be bad! Osvaldo had asked him to watch over his wife but Selena had purposely kept him and Margot away while she went after Lillian.

And now she was covered in wounds...

Osvaldo would definitely beat him too if he let anything happen to his wife.

Margot exploded when she saw her best friend being beaten up. She rushed forward and grabbed Lillian by the collar before throwing her out of harm's way. Then she quickly went over to help Selena.

Meanwhile outside of the council chamber where they were fighting, Robert burst into the room followed by a group of people who helped him lift Lillian off of the ground.

Robert looked around at what had happened with a cold expression on his face before saying: "Let's go." Everyone then retreated while protecting Lillian who was badly injured from all that had happened inside." Selena was helped up by Margot. As she saw the person who had hit her running away, Margot's eyes narrowed and she was about to chase after him, but Selena suddenly held her back.

Straightening her slender back and covered in bruises, Selena slowly walked towards the entrance of the council chamber.

Standing before the blood-stained throne room shrouded in darkness, Selena looked at countless pairs of eyes filled with anticipation, respect or confusion.

She watched Lillian being protected by a group of people as they retreated. Meeting Lillian's cold and bloodshot eyes, Selena slowly raised her right hand and then swung it down heavily.

A clear and majestic voice echoed throughout the entire throne room: "Form ranks to meet the enemy! Crush the traitorous army! Establish our country's prestige! Kill them all!" "Kill In an instant, everyone in the throne room trembled. The terrifying aura of killing intent mixed with blood almost tore through the night sky. This was a unique charisma belonging only to Central City's queen.

Selena stood still with a straight posture as she watched Lillian being forced to retreat step by step. She watched those around Lillian die one after another. She watched as former sisters who were once equal opponents took their last steps towards their end. In her dark eyes there wasn't even a hint of emotion.

This victory couldn't really be called a victory though...

Only that... the dignity and defeat that Selena had lost before under Lillian's hands were now regained by herself alone.

In the cold palace, when the woman's clear shout rang out, the man who had been resting with his eyes closed slowly opened them.

Horace heard that familiar voice and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally fell back into place.

"The little princess has really grown up..." Selena could indeed win this victory with Osvaldo's support and the protection of the monarch. But a victory won by hiding behind others is ultimately hard to convince people.

Only by defeating Lillian herself and winning on her own can she truly claim what belongs to her -the pride and majesty of an emperor.

Selena showed everyone through her strength that the monarch's choice was not wrong! She was better than Lillian, stronger than Lillian. She was a true queen! After today, Selena's future as an emperor will be smooth sailing.

Hanley stared in Selena's direction for a long tbefore finally speaking in a cool and icy tone. "Go to Princess's mansion and send her on her way." Horace trembled as he looked at the monarch with shock and complexity in his eyes. The second prince had died; Princess... was now the only relative of the monarch left alive.

Princess committed an unforgivable crby killing the young prince and raising Lillian to oppose Selena, her only daughter. Even as the monarch's own sister, she had no right to harm his beloved child.

Horace bowed and retreated from the scene.

Meanwhile, Princess's residence was engulfed in flames. A woman in her forties with a delicate beauty watched in shock as a young man approached her through the fire.

"This can't be happening. | can't lose. | will never lose!" she exclaimed.

Lillian was her greatest masterpiece, something she had worked tirelessly on all her life. How could she possibly lose? "lI won't lose! It's impossible forto lose..." Aarav faced off against this woman who had been corrupted by power and was now half-mad with desperation.

"Auntie, you need to face reality. Withhere and him there," he gestured towards someone else nearby, "you will never have a chance at winning." Tabitha froze when she heard that nbeing used for herself. She stared at Aarav's face for what felt like an eternity before finally trembling with realization: "You... you're Samantha's child?! You didn't die?!" Aarav smiled faintly amidst the flickering flames behind him like skind of mystical creature: "Thanks for your ‘concern’, Auntie," he replied sarcastically before adding more seriously: "I survived and cback just so | could send you on your way." Because of this woman's unwillingness, Selena died once.

She was the mastermind behind the changes in the empire! Tabitha looked at Aarav as if she had seen something incredibly unbelievable. After a moment, she suddenly laughed like crazy, "You're still alive? You actually survived?! Hanley and Samantha let you live, hahaha..." After a few seconds, she suddenly seemed to remember something and grabbed Aarav's hand. "It doesn't matter if Lillian lost. You're still here, right?" "You are the first heir of the empire. As long as you appear, Selena will have to give way to you!" "Don't you want revenge on Hanley and Samantha? Aren't you jealous of Selena?" "Everything should have been yours originally. Why should it be given to her?!" "Let's work together! I'll help you ascend to the throne! You helpkill Hanley..." Aarav looked at the crazy woman in front of him and smiled coldly. "Auntie, farewell." After speaking, he waved away her hand and turned around towards the door.

Tabitha wanted to chase after him but two people suddenly walked out beside her and grabbed her arm dragging her back.

The sound of struggling from Tabitha along with piercing screams almost pierced through one's eardrums.

Then at spoint all sounds stopped abruptly.

Only a swaying figure hung high on a beam staring fixedly at Aarav leaving until death without ever closing their eyes.

A man dressed in white with an elegant temperament stepped out of the fire step by step.

As he stepped out the door, the once opulent and majestic princess's palace behind him crumbled in an instant, reduced to ashes in the raging inferno.
