Chapter 1754: The Princess Consort’s Wise Choice
"Moreover, I want to take this opportunity today to express my gratitude to a few people," the King spoke again, seeming in good spirits, his face full of smiles.
The applause gradually subsided, and everyone saw the King’s gaze fall upon CEO Kingston and others.
He expressed his heartfelt thanks, "Thank you, CEO Kingston and Mrs. Kingston, for coming from afar, and Jocelyn, you have all put in a lot of effort to root out Eden, that great menace. You are smart, wise, and daring. It is Prince Louis’ honor to have friends like you, and I am happy for him."
"No need for courtesy, Your Majesty," Justin Kingston also stood up, adjusting his tailored suit, "A meeting is fate."
Everyone attending the meeting turned their eyes toward him.
This man, with his exquisite features, always gives others a sense of noble perfection.
Standing there, he wore a gentle smile at the corner of his lips, handsome like a deity.
He said, "Friends are to be found, not sought. It is his honor, and it is ours as well."
Justin Kingston’s voice was truly pleasant to hear, cool and magnetic, like aged red wine, captivating those who listened.
The King, satisfied with this response, nodded his head, feeling particularly comforted; it seemed everyone was like-minded.
For his son Louis to have such friends is definitely a good thing for the future of Lorelei.
Having friends like CEO Kingston is akin to having a hundred others.
The meeting’s agenda was simple, and the King, being clear and organized, quickly announced what needed to be announced.
After the meeting concluded.
Catherine felt an indescribable calmness within; she was grateful to have made the right choice, as Louis was indeed more suited to the position than Taylor, being calm and wise.
Seizing the moment of parental affection, Catherine hoped that Taylor would foster a good relationship with Prince Louis.
These people are righteous and kind-hearted, and in the future, they wouldn’t exclude Taylor.
"Princess," Julie accompanied her, and the pair walked along the path back to the palace, noticing her distraction, "Are you alright?"
"I asked Taylor this morning, and he doesn’t want to be King."
While walking, Catherine glanced at her, saying softly, "As an enlightened elder, one must respect the child’s wishes."
Julie remained silent.
Catherine continued, "Moreover, considering the current situation, Prince Louis is more suitable. He saved the King’s life and is a close friend of CEO Kingston, winning people’s hearts."
Julie too contemplated much last night, having had moments when she let go of her own obsessions.
She said, "Princess, you don’t need to explain further; I am your person, and I will surely follow your decision. Once again, I apologize for my actions last night. Rest assured, similar incidents will never happen again; everything will be discussed with you."
"Julie, I have a favor to ask."
Catherine turned to her, "In front of Taylor, you have a certain authoritative presence. He generally listens to you. Although I can keep him in check, I hope you can help guide this crooked tree, helping him learn from Louis and become more composed since this is the royal family’s way to thrive. Parents will eventually grow old and can’t protect him forever."
"Prince Taylor is not inherently bad, just overly sheltered since childhood, never lacking anything, not needing to strive yet already winning on the starting line," Julie said worriedly, "You never had such anxieties before."
"Now that Louis is back, there are only two princes in the royal family, inevitably leading to comparisons."
The woman was aware of the substantial difference between Bertie’s two sons.
She worriedly said, "As a mother, who could bear hearing others say their own son is lacking?"
"Rest assured, Princess, from now on," Julie promised, "I will definitely guide Prince Taylor well, making him more excellent."
