A Cue for Love (Natalie and Samuel)

Chapter 1073 You Are Not Allowed To Harm Her

That night, Helma had become a laughing stock after Bastien skipped her over for the first dance. However, after learning that Natalie was married and would never be able to marry Bastien, she felt a flicker of hope reignite within her.

In spite of the ridicule, she still wanted to marry Bastien. Geert, facing Helma’s hopeful gaze, replied, “Helma, it’s highly unlikely your marriage with Prince Jonathan will proceed. Nonetheless, you don’t have to be too worked up about it, for I’ll try to matchmake you with another prestigious family—”

Before Geert could finish, Helma interrupted him, “I don’t want anyone else. I only want Bastien! You’re well aware that I have always loved him since I was a child, and you even promised me that the marriage would definitely succeed. Therefore, no one is going to stop me from marrying him!”

Ever since she was young, Helma had always behaved with elegance and poise. Thus, when faced with her crying tantrum, Geert couldn’t help but feel frustrated.

“All this while, Lady Frieda and I were the driving force behind your engagement with Bastien. As for Bastien, he had never explicitly agreed to it.” Geert explained in resignation, “Now that he has openly invited someone else to dance, it’s obvious that he has rejected you. It’s true that His Majesty didn’t decide on his engagement, but that also means he didn’t do the same for yours. After the banquet ended, I did give Lady Frieda a call, but she wasn’t keen on talking about the marriage. Nonetheless, probably out of guilt, she has given us everything she had previously promised. As a result, she has made up for what happened by showing the Leitz family the utmost respect.”
