The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1411

There was still a while to go before dinner.

In the garden outside the sleeping quarters, Queen Julia was decked out in a high-class white velvet gown, adorned with a hand-embroidered Jasmine flower that looked so real you'd think it could fly right off.

Queen Julia had delicate skin that was starting to show some signs of age. Her long hair, white as snow and without a single flaw, was tied up at the back of her head. The hollows beneath her eyes made them look deep and alluring. Despite this, there was no hiding her wisdom and power.

She exuded a calm and elegant aura typical of a mature woman. She stood there, a symbol of tranquility in the passing of time. But beneath her calm exterior was a hidden sense of nobility and dominance. It all felt strangely familiar.

The old servant, Lea, tried to drape a cloak over the Queen, but she was struggling to do so. Queen Julia took the cloak from her and draped it over her shoulders herself.

She looked through the large glass window in front of her and hooked a soft smile on her lips, her eyes gentle and tender. "Lea, you should retire."

Standing at her side, Lea replied respectfully, "I promised to serve you all my life."

Queen Julia chuckled, looking down at the diamond bracelets in her hand, murmuring, "I should retire too."

Lea's gaze fell on Queen Julia's hand, watching as her wrinkled fingers ran over the bracelets, as if she was touching the princess of the past.

She sighed quietly in her heart. Decades had passed, and she had grown accustomed to seeing the Queen in this state. Even now, Queen Julia couldn't let go of the princess who had passed away.

Yes, her most beloved daughter, who she would miss forever.

But life had to move on. No matter how much you missed someone, they were gone.

"Queen Julia..."

Not far from the window, there were some children who had already arrived. They were about three or four years old, playing with the finest toys, carefully watched over by a few attendants.

Queen Julia's face was full of tenderness, but her expression was tinged with deep sorrow. "...I know I shouldn't miss her so much. But every time I see my grandchildren, I can't help but think, if my daughter were still alive, what would she be like now? Would she be married? Would she have children of her own? Would she be happy... I hope she isn't suffering... But I know, it's all hypothetical because the truth is, she's left this world..."

Julia began to choke up, lifting the bracelets to her chest. Her lips trembled, and her eyes filled with tears.

Lea felt a pang of heartache looking at Queen Julia, but she didn't know what to say to comfort her. Over the years, she had tried many times, but she could never really comfort the Queen. It seemed more cruel to try. The princess at least lived on in the Queen's heart. If she persuaded the Queen to let go of the past, would it mean asking her to erase the existence of the princess from her heart?

Better to remember, then the princess would live on forever.

Tears blurred her vision, and the figures of the children in the courtyard gradually became fuzzy.

"Queen Julia, you are blessed now. Please give more love to the young princes and princesses."
