My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Just then, a voice called out.

"Princess Navidia is also much more beautiful than the rumors say. She certainly isn't lacking in popularity."

Hogan, who was standing beside Tremaine, was the one who'd said this.

After saying that, Hogan gave Tremaine a look and said, "Don't you agree, sir?"

His look carried all sorts of underlying intent behind it.

Tremaine recognized this look.

Hogan had hinted to him that they were having a social meet up between their countries. He shouldn't behave so coldly towards her. Tremaine replied. "Indeed."

Navidia's lips curled up slightly when she heard that. "Why, Mr. Quartley, thank you for your compliment."

Tremaine then said: "Princess Navidia, you should thank Mr. Welmert instead. He's been an admirer of yours for a very long time."

Tremaine then looked back at Hogan. "Isn't that right, Mr. Welmert?"

Hogan was quiet.

He was afraid that Tremaine would say something that he shouldn't, so he smiled awkwardly. He then quickly changed the topic, "Princess Navidia, you must come tonight for our banquet."

Navidia's voice was soft and gentle, "But of course. I will be staying in Nashaland for quite some time. Please pardon me for the hassle."

When Hogan heard her say this, his eyes immediately lit up.

Navidia had taken the first step and said that she would be staying in Nashaland for a while. She must have a good feeling about Tremaine. It seemed that there was hope for a marriage between their two countries. Navidia's visit to Nashaland wasn't just discussed all around the entire nation, but also in the palace.

The staff in Preslie's office also discussed it hotly.

Preslie finally learned about what was going on by listening in to their conversations. A princess named Navidia had come from Megeland. She had just arrived in Nashaland today.

But Preslie wasn't interested in any of it.

But soon, her colleague named Lumy said, "Princess Navidia must intend to marry the president this time. Maybe the two of them will actually get married soon."

Her eyes were filled with shock.

Tremaine? Married to Navidia?

What was going on?!

"Wasn't Tremaine going to marry Yesseca?"

Preslie was usually quiet and unbothered when she was in the office. But not this time, not when her best friend was involved in this. She couldn't sit still.

She couldn't help but ask, "Why would the president marry Navidia? The president should marry someone else! How could he marry Navidia?!"

Lumy looked at her with some contempt. "Are you talking about that maid? Are you kidding me? Did you really think that he'd marry her? The entire presidential palace is currently keeping quiet about her, especially Mr. Welmert. I heard that he's running about day and night trying to kick her out. Mr. Welmert has served as a senior statesman for the past three presidents. You should be more respectful of him."

Preslie's mind was in a mess.

Just then, Merlin's voice rang out, "Alright! Enough chattering about our president's business. Get back to work!"

Everyone shut their mouths.

Preslie looked at Merlin after taking a big gulp. "Supervisor Merlin, do you really want our president to marry Princess Navidia?"

Meilin did not expect to be asked this, especially after she had told everyone to be quiet.

She looked at Preslie impatiently and said, "You can discuss all you want about our national affairs after you've done your work. Our president is definitely going to marry Princess Navidia, but that has nothing to do with you. Now get to it!" Preslie's heart was pounding.

She had worked here for a very long time. In her mind, Merlin was a woman who was very serious. She never talked nonsense. Since she had said so, it must be true.

Tremaine really was going to marry Princess Navidia.

Preslie panicked.

No, no!

If Tremaine married Princess Navidia, what would happen to Yesseca?

Preslie walked out of the office.

She felt that she had to call Yesseca and at least let her know so that she can make the necessary preparations.

She didn't expect to run into Sheldon the moment she walked out.

Sheldon was looking for Merlin but Preslie had suddenly appeared at the door just before he entered.

Sheldon was quiet.

For some reason, after the incident from before, he always felt a little embarrassed and uncomfortable around Preslie.

"Mr. Hawls!" Preslie shouted.

She had just spotted Sheldon, so decided to ask him about it.

Sheldon was Tremaine's closest friend, he would know a lot about this.

"Miss Fernandez." Sheldon answered, feeling embarrassed.

"Don't call me Miss Fernandez. Just call me Preslie," she replied, "We already know each other, so there's no need to be so formal." Sheldon kept silent.

He wondered when he had gotten so close to Preslie.

Lowering his voice, she asked, "Mr. Hawls, Princess Navidia has come to visit Nashaland. Does she really intend to marry Tremaine?"

A look of shock appeared on Sheldon's face.

Preslie had somehow found out about this.

However, upon realizing that all of Nashaland was talking about it, he figured it wasn't surprising that Preslie knew about it as well. "All of Nashaland is hoping for it." Sheldon replied in a roundabout way.

Preslie was very anxious, "Then if Tremaine and Navidia get married, what about Yesseca?"

"Against an entire country, one person's voice is worthless."

Preslie didn't understand what he meant by that. She asked, "What do you think? Do you think Tremaine wants to marry Navidia?" Sheldon's eyes flashed.

Of course not. Tremaine didn't want that.

But Navidia was now in Nashaland, and also Hogan-

Sheldon felt that things had gotten very tricky. If Tremaine insisted on marrying Yesseca, that would be a very complicated thing to resolve. "Don't make assumptions about Mr. Tremaine." He replied.

"How can I not!" Preslie's eyes widened. "Yesseca is my best friend. Tremaine can't betray her, otherwise Yesseca will die of grief."

Preslie had gotten so worried that she'd actually said Tremaine's name out loud.

Sheldon's face darkened. "Miss Fernandez, you cannot refer to the president so casually."

Preslie was quiet.

She corrected herself, "Mr. Hawls, Mr. Tremaine must not marry Princess Navidia or betray Yesseca. Yesseca has no one to rely on here in Nashaland. If he betrays her, what will she do?"

"As I've said, Miss Fernandez, against an entire country, one person's voice is worthless."

Navidia and Tremaine's marriage

wasn't just a marriage between two people but of two entire countries.

Sheldon actually hoped that Tremaine would marry Navidia.

Preslie had gotten even more anxious. She said, "Mr. Hawls, why don't you take me to see the president? I'll go and talk to him and I'll tell him not to marry Princess Navidia."

Sheldon's face fell. "Miss Fernandez, stop messing around!"

"I'm not messing around! I'm serious!" Preslie said.

The veins on Sheldon's forehead throbbed. This woman just couldn't understand the big picture!
