The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 1219

All this while, Mikhail had been receiving reports and updates about Natalie. However, he had never once visited her in person.

While others were missing their family desperately, Mikhail, who had finally found his long-lost daughter, was too afraid to approach her. He was afraid that she would reject him. He had gone back and forth on this issue for a long time.

His hesitation had led to his inaction.

Someday...

After Mikhail was finished with the affairs of the state, he stared at the piles of neatly arranged documents on his desk and felt the aching emptiness in his heart.

After all, family was what brought joy in one's golden years.

The person that he loved the most was no longer lost but was, in fact, right in front of his eyes. Why am I still so afraid to reach out to her?

Finally, Mikhail made up his mind. Together with his most loyal attendant, Brody, he left Luna Palace and headed for Natalie's place.

At that moment, Natalie was not at home.

When the doorbell rang, it was Emma who opened the door.

Working for Natalie and Samuel, Emma often received esteemed guests from the upper echelon of Loang and Chanaea's society. However, she had not expected to come face-to-face with the king of

Loang himself when she answered the door.

Emma had never had the opportunity to meet Mikhail before.

She only recognized him from seeing his face on the television.

Whenever state ceremonies were broadcasted on the news, Emma, being a citizen of the country, would pay special attention to Mikhail out of curiosity and reverence.

The most important person in Loang was standing in front of her. Emma was so nervous that she began shaking from head to toe. “Y-Your Majesty, what are you...” she faltered. Her legs felt like jelly. She was about to fall to her knees.

Mikhail quickly stopped her, “There's no need for that.”

“Your Majesty, why not?” Emma asked. She was both excited and nervous.

“I'm visiting on an informal basis,” Mikhail replied. He paused before asking, “I'm here to see Natalie. Is she home?”

“Ah, Ms. Nichols... She's not at home right now.”

When Emma heard that Mikhail had come to see Natalie, her respect for Natalie grew tenfold. This young lady is so amazing! Even the king of Loang knows her! I only have the chance to meet him and all the other interesting people because of her. I must have done something right in my past life to be this lucky!

Mikhail's eyes dimmed in disappointment when he heard Emma's reply.

“Your majesty, Ms. Nichols only went out to buy some desserts. She should be back soon,” Emma said in a respectful tone. “W-Why don't you come in and wait for her to come back? I'll make you a drink.”

Mikhail jumped at the chance.

“Okay, thank you.”

Emma led Mikhail and Brody into the living room.

“Please have a seat.”

Emma hurried into the kitchen to make a pot of coffee. She was determined to impress the king with her coffee-brewing skills.

Mikhail stood in the middle of the living room. He glanced around, taking in the furniture and the decorations. So, this is where my daughter lives. It's a warm and inviting house, and full of life.

Suddenly, Mikhail noticed a little girl playing amongst the flower bushes in the courtyard connected to the living room.

The little girl had on a tulle skirt and wore her hair in two buns on top of her head. She looked like a little fairy.

Mikhail could not help taking a closer look. He noticed that not only were her facial features lovely to look at, but she also resembled Natalie and Jennie.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
