Chapter 770 Accepting the Truth

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."

Selena could only feel her hands trembling. "Who gave you the right to cremate him? He's my husband, so I should have the right to handle his remains!" "Please calm down, it... It's better for him to be cremated. While he was engaged in combat, he got caught up in a bombing, so the body was already..." A bombing...

At this, her tears started falling again. They didn't need to say more, for Selena understood why they had to cremate his remains. His corpse was probably in pieces or even splattered somewhere.

"The memorial ceremony will be held in three days. If possible, we hope that you will attend it. The martyr's cemetery is quite far from here, so you can't visit his grave too often. It would be better if you set something up in your family's graveyard in remembrance of him."

"Miss Selena, we are deeply sorry. The organization had failed him and also failed you and your children."

"We hope that you will recover soon. We believe that as his wife, you are also a hero like he was."

They said a lot of things, but Selena couldn't understand any of them.

Sorry? Condolences? What on earth is this nonsense?! That's the person closest to me, my husband, my world, my everything... How? How am I supposed to live without him from now on? How? How should I even tell the kids that their father is gone for good? Soon, the uniformed men took their leave.

Selena sat in the bedroom for a long time, and it wasn't until the children's voices rang out downstairs when she finally returned to her senses.

The servants had already received news of Pierre's passing. Shedding tears at the sight of the three innocent children, the servants escorted them to Selena's room.
