A Cue for Love Chapter 1224âBased on what I know about Mikhailâs personality, I think he wouldâve done something unbecoming of a king for his loverâs child. If that had happened, it wouldâve been a curse instead of a blessing. As Natalie took another sip of her coffee, she thought it was getting bitter.
God is indeed fair in His decisions. A person is destined to lose something when enjoying an incredible privilege.
She then brewed another pot of coffee because the last one was too bitter for her taste.
After she refilled her and Mikhailâs cups, they became silent again.
Even though one couldnât change the past, it was precisely the accumulation of past events that resulted in the current situation.
Mikhail wondered if he couldâve avoided the tragedy if he had been given another chance to redo his decision.
Meanwhile, his coffee was getting cold.
Hence, Natalie reminded, âIf you want to drink your coffee, you should do it before it turns cold.â
Of course, he didnât care about the coffee. An urge swirled in his heart as he stared at her. In the end, he blurted out that thought. âCan you give me a chance to make things up to you, Natalie? I want to tell everyone in this country that youâre my daughter, the rightful princess of Loang and heir apparent to the throne. Once Iâve abdicated as the king, youâll be Loangâs queen and rule over the entire country. What do you think?â
She was so shocked by his proposal that she momentarily failed to hold the cup in her hand properly, causing the coffee inside to spill onto the table. âI think itâs a bad idea.â
âWhy? Do you think being a queen is bad?â
âI donât have any grand reasons for refusing.â Upon wiping away the coffee spilled on her hand, she lifted her eyes and stared at Mikhail. âMy choice is the same as my motherâs. My appearance as your daughter wonât be a good thing for this country. Besides, Iâve no interest in Loangâs politics.â
Her answer stunned him for a moment before he attempted to persuade her. âThis is a chance my sons canât even get, Natalie! Are you⦠Are you not even going to consider it?â
âNo,â she rejected firmly. âIf youâre unhappy in your position, why are you trying to make me take over it? Do you still not understand why Mother opted to play dead instead of returning to your side, even though she loved you deeply?â
Mikhailâs pupils constricted as he stared at Natalie.
âOne will always lose and gain something in life. You believe that as long as you can clear up the misunderstanding you assumed was why Mother left you, everything will be fine and dandy, but that isnât the case. The real reason is that youâll lose your lover regardless because youâre the king. It just so happens that the person you love the most is my mother. It didnât matter if that person was Jennie Shamrock or not because you could never have her. She left you that way because she wanted to protect me, her father, and the person she loved the most. If she did return, would you have succeeded in clearing Granddadâs name? Could you guarantee no one would try to cause Mother to miscarry?
She knew she would have to give up on you someday after falling in love with you. While she didnât regret loving you, she didnât regret living in seclusion, either.â After she ended her sentence, he became quiet again.
Suddenly, he smiled and shook his head, feeling like his heart was stabbed by a knife.
âWhy am I now only understanding this?â Mikhail sighed. âI was overconfident when I was younger, always thinking I could do everything well. I didnât expect I wouldnât be able to solve all problems after becoming king. Itâs as you said. Even if I cleared up one misunderstanding, there would always be another.â
Natalie pondered wordlessly, / wonder what he will choose if he gains another chance, but that doesnât matter now. Obsessing over his answer wonât bring Mother back. Whatâs important right now are the present and the future!
