A Cue for Love novel Chapter 1232

Chapter 1232

Natalie studied Bastien closely.

Sure enough, he's the one who resembles Mikhail most among the latter's many sons. His first instinctive reaction seems... exactly the same as his father's.

Smiling, she shook her head. "Twenty years ago, I've never enjoyed the glory and prestige brought by the royal family. After more than twenty years have passed now, I similarly don't need all that now. I've got no interest in being a princess or a queen in the future. Don’t you think it's better to maintain the status quo?"

Verily, those words of hers were far too casual and nonchalant.

Although Loang wasn't a huge country with vast territories, the fight for the position of the monarch was often accompanied by siblings killing each other throughout the ages. At the end of the day, no one with a stake really had zero desire for power.

Bastien was silent for a very long time.

Haha. the things I'd once cared about turned out to be wholly worthless in her eyes.

He wavered time and again, but ultimately, he couldn’t resist giving voice to the question he wanted to ask yet dared not do so. "Don't you... Don't you hate me? I once did such a thing to you and even almost... wronged you greatly."

"The Bastien I know is the man filled with righteousness and would stand up for others in the very beginning. Later, you merely strayed from the path and misunderstood the meaning of love. True love has never been about possession regardless of the cost." Staring right into his eyes, Natalie enunciated, "Even without the blood ties between us, I still wouldn't have loved you. It isn't because of your character or because Samuel made my acquaintance earlier. Feelings can't be forced."

To that very day, she had no idea what exactly she liked about Samuel.

However, it was a fact that she had fallen in love with him. Her feelings for him were so intense that they had seemingly been engraved into the marrow of her bones and melded into her blood.

Her love for him made it so that no other men existed for her. He was the one and only person in her eyes and heart.

"In the future, you'll meet a girl who truly loves you and whom you love in return. I'm not all that magnanimous, but in all honesty, I can't bring myself to hate you, perhaps because of the same blood flowing through our veins. Or maybe it's because I truly regarded you as a friend when we first met," Natalie elaborated breezily.
