The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

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.
