Chapter 324: Who Is Your Mother?
After meeting the guests, the Queen made her way toward the perfume-making candidates.
Natalie watched as the Queen approached. The previous night, she had only seen her from a distance, but today, she was going to see her up close.
The closer the Queen came, the more Natalie noticed the striking resemblance between her and her mother. For the first time, she was meeting her grandmother—another person with whom she shared a blood tie.
Meanwhile, Charlotte had already informed her grandfather about Natalie’s comment regarding the possibility of a new princess appearing. She and Howard, who were watching the Queen walk toward Natalie, held their breaths in suspense.
"Grandpa, she’s not going to tell Grandma about her, is she?" Charlotte asked in a low, anxious voice.
"Don’t worry. Just her saying anything won’t prove a thing," Howard reassured her, arrogance evident in his tone. "To prove it, she’d have to run a DNA test. And don’t forget—your grandpa holds the power here. Everything runs according to my will."
Charlotte finally felt relieved.
On the other hand, as the Queen greeted each participant one by one, she finally reached Natalie, who bowed respectfully.
Like with the others, the Queen’s assistant introduced her. "Your Majesty, this is Ms. Natalie from the Imperial City."
The Queen smiled warmly, just as she had with the others. "Glad to have you here."
"It’s my honor to be here, Your Majesty," Natalie replied politely.
