“Con, it’s your first trophy in life. There's no way | wouldn't be here for you,” King said as he playfully
tousled her hair, a smile spreading across his face.
Natalie was a star in all respects, certainly a queen in the world of hacking in his perspective. Yet, having a
physical trophy seemed to imbue it with an even greater significance.
She pursed her lips, looking at him with emotion welling up inside, not quite sure how to express her gratitude,
her eyes slightly glistening.
“The producers have set up a wrap party for tonight. I'll go with you. Let’s head over,” King whispered gently,
reassuring her.

“So, how should | introduce you? As my brother?” Natalie asked softly, considering her words carefully.
“We'll figure it out when we get there. Don’t worry about it,” King paused before replying in a casual tone.
Uriah had always been the frontman at Bluestar, smoothing relations, and Natalie could avoid unwanted

As for the evening's introduction, King had already planned it all out.
“Let's take a walk before the party,” King offered, extending his right hand and grinning.
Natalie hesitated before declining to take his hand.
They had shared many intimate moments, like linking arms, hugs, and playful nudges, and it had never seemed
inappropriate before. But since King said that he wanted to marry her, she realized such interactions were no

Instead, she playfully patted his palm and withdrew hers, saying, “I've been dying to try the amazing Beef
Wellington across the street. Are you up for treating me?”
King’s gaze lingered on his hand for a moment before he looked up at Natalie and replied smoothly, “Sure.”
He didn’t mean a piece of steak. If Natalie wanted, he'd buy the whole restaurant for her.

“Sterlina seems like a good place for retirement,” Natalie mused aloud, her hands clasped behind her as they
walked leisurely, a smile on her lips.
“Really?” King echoed, his gaze never leaving her.
As they spoke, their eyes met. A flutter passed through King’s heart, and he began to speak softly, “Have you
ever thought about...” But before he could finish, a cheer erupted from the nearby square, drawing Natalie's
attention immediately.

There, a young man was down on one knee, proposing to his girlfriend amid a shower of rose petals with their
photos flashing on the LED screen above, accompanied by his heartfelt declaration.
Natalie, always one for a spectacle, joined the crowd to watch. The couple was striking. And the man’s
engagement ring was impressively large, along with the keys to a luxury car. The crowd around them chanted
encouragement, “Say yes, say yes!”
Natalie joined in the cheers and watched contentedly as the woman accepted the keys and slipped on the
massive ring.
