Chapter 330: Reiner – Can’t Give Up
“I see...you’re right,” King said after a short pause and his eyes were on me. Honestly, I was too shocked to say anything, and I quickly realized that there wasn’t anything for me to say. Apart from perhaps offering Reiner some words of congratulations on his upcoming wedding? I wasn’t so kind-hearted that I could do that when I was suffering so much inside. My head hurts and my chest felt tight. I knew that I could start crying at any moment and I also knew that I didn’t want these people to see it.
“Sorry but I’m not feeling well. Please allow me to excuse myself. Thank you for hosting dinner...” I mumbled awkwardly as I got up from my seat.
Turning away, I started walking away as fast as possible while trying not to cause a scene by running away. I didn’t want to believe what I had just heard. If Reiner is really going to marry someone else, then why am I even here? None of this was making any sense to me anymore. I felt so crushed that I didn’t have the strength to face anyone right now. I just wanted time alone to think and to cry.
As I walked along, I wasn’t even sure where my feet were taking me, and I didn’t mind. All I needed was to get somewhere far far away from him and other people right now.

Queen watched as a terribly upset-looking Natalia excused herself and quickly stood up before marching away from the table where they were supposed to be having dinner. The scene before her disturbed her deeply and so did the conversation that had just taken place.
“Why did you have to do something like that to her?” Queen asked as she glared over at her own son.
“I don’t know what you’re referring to,” Reiner replied coldly.
