Selena didn’t know how long she cried, but she felt as if her tears had run dry. She lay on the bed and realized that the sheets were wet with her tears.
She tried to cheer up and walked out of her room, where a few servants were watching over her. “Young mistress, are you all right?”
“Where are those people?” Selena’s eyes were swollen from all the crying, and her voice had also turned hoarse.
“They’re still outside.”
“Tell them to come in.” Selena’s voice was airy, and the servants couldn’t help but feel pitiful upon hearing her hoarse voice.
Both parties sat down once again.
Faced with Selena like this, the uniformed men didn’t know what to say. They knew that the couple were deeply in love with each other, and Pierre had made a huge decision by marrying Selena. Green lights were also given so that Pierre could marry Selena as soon as possible.
“Where are your papers?” Selena finally regained her sense of reason.
One of the men passed his credentials to Selena, who gave it a look. She had hoped to see that it was fake, but it wasn't.
“How can you prove that it’s real?” Selena’s tone was still harsh. “I’ve only met people like you once when we’re getting the marriage approval.”
Even if it were just that once, she had already memorized their credentials. Pierre had also told her about them.
“Common folk wouldn’t have seen this sort of stuff before, much less see it in detail. The probability of it being forged is very low,” they explained.
Selena took a deep breath. “Okay, let’s say you’re the real deal. You said that Pierre died, right? Then where’s his body? I won’t believe anything you say until I’ve seen his remains.”
“Our mission this time was located in the border area between Springvale and Zessirius. It’s way too far from here, and Pierre’s death…. We have already cremated his remains, and they are going to hold a memorial ceremony for him, so the ashes are still there. According to protocol, the ashes are supposed to be placed in the martyrs’ cemetery.”
