A Cue for Love novel Chapter 1066

Chapter 1066 I Refuse

“You knew what was going on between Helma and me?” Bastien certainly hadn’t expected this. “I do. That’s why I never wanted to get myself involved,” Natalie stated icily. “Natalie.”

The woman pursed her lips and ignored Bastien. At that very moment, a five-star servant appeared before Natalie, blocking her path.

“Greetings, Miss. His Majesty would like to speak to you and the prince.” This servant was the king’s most trusted aide, and despite the smile on his face, he gave off an air of intimidation to those around him.

Natalie was speechless. I just can’t get away. She could only make her way toward the king alongside Bastien. Following Loang customs, the woman gave Mikhail the most supreme form of greeting, rising back to her feet only after gaining the latter’s permission.

“What is your name?” the king asked while fiddling with a ring—one with the image of a dragon, signifying his absolute authority—on his middle finger.

“Natalie Nichols.”

“Where are you from?”

“Dellmoor, Chanaea.”

“So, you’re not a noble?”

“I’m not. I’m just a businesswoman stopping by in Loang,” Natalie answered candidly.

Frieda’s expression clouded over as she listened. She only wanted Helma as her future daughter-in-law, not this woman standing before her who had nothing to do with Loang.

I won’t let him marry her!

“Your Majesty, this lady here may not understand the significance of that dance since she’s not from here. That said, I think we should just leave this matter as it is. Let’s not delve any further into it,” she advised with a smile.

Yet, Cynthia couldn’t resist fanning the flames. “Even if she doesn’t understand it, it doesn’t change the fact that she danced. Besides, it’s not like Bastien isn’t aware of the significance behind this waltz, no?”

“Cynthia! You—”

“Cynthia didn’t say anything wrong, Frieda,” Shirley chimed in.

Disregarding the little drama going on between his father’s wives, Bastien stepped forward and declared earnestly, “Father, I’m well aware of the meaning behind that dance, so I’ve absolutely made my choice.”

Mikhail’s eyes left Bastien and fell on Natalie once again.

She looks just like her twenty years ago!
