Chapter 1201 Tacit Understanding
King’s eyes darted from side to side as he leaned close to Natalie and whispered beside her ear, “You are my most
useful bargaining chip, but you’re also the person I’m most reluctant to hurt. You are much more significant to me
than that Helma.”
Natalie, eyes gleaming, pursed her lips. The man behind me is really not Geert. There wasn’t a hint of care in his
voice when he mentioned Helma. It’s as if he was talking about a random stranger whose life and death have
nothing to do with him.
King continued, “Cooperate with me. I’m taking you away and leaving this place. We’ll go somewhere new where no
one knows us. Since you’re interested in herbs, we’ll go to all the remote mountainous areas with herbal plants.”
Rendered speechless, Natalie remained quiet. He won’t let go of me even if I speak up. More importantly, he’s
caught up in his own persistence. Telling him anything that goes against his wish will only provoke him. If I do that, I
may put myself at a higher risk of getting harmed. This man deserves to die, but I’m different. I have many people

over the fate of my life to this lunatic!
Sensing reluctance to respond, King asked, “Why aren’t you speaking? Say something!”
She answered calmly, “What do you want me to say?”
“Say that you’re willing to cooperate with me!” He seemed to be very determined to hear her reply.
Eyes glinting coldly, Natalie smiled faintly and said, “Okay. I’ll cooperate with you.”
Upon hearing that, King revealed a contented smile. Then, he glowered maliciously at the others in front of him and
shouted, “If you want to save her, prepare the best medical resources and a helicopter for Allen and me.
Otherwise, I’ll drag her to hell with me!”
As Natalie was being held as a hostage, even if the others at the scene realized it was a bad idea to let go of King,
none of them dared to take the risk of losing Natalie.
As a result, everyone achieved mutual consensus almost instantaneously.
“Okay.”
“Okay.”
“Okay.”
Frieda was at a loss for words.
Listening to everyone’s unison response, she furrowed her brows in utter astonishment. Even after she was made
aware of the past, which had remained unknown for so many years, she still couldn’t understand how no one cared
about her survival despite her status as the king’s wife and the prince’s mother.
Yet, a child without any title like Natalie was worthy of prompting so many people to ditch their principles in making
the decision to save her.
Am I going crazy, or are these people losing their minds?
Frieda was utterly baffled. Still, her perplexity didn’t have the slightest impact on the tacit agreement between the
others.
Mikhail waved his hand and instructed his attendant, “Do as he said. Go and make the preparations. Get it done as
soon as possible.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSamuel bore his eyes into Natalie with a worried expression spread across his face.
Simultaneously, she held his gaze. A faint smile twinkled in her eyes as she looked at him. Subsequently, she gave
him an almost imperceptible, promising nod, silently telling him not to worry about her.
After all that they had experienced together in the past, Samuel and Natalie could figure out each other’s thoughts
even without exchanging words.
Grasping her message, he quit frowning and concentrated his attention on the ongoing situation. After all, not only
did he have to protect Natalie, but he also needed to look after the country and the home that she loved.
Jerome, Yandel, Bastien, and the others couldn’t recollect themselves the way Samuel did. All of them knitted their
brows in anxiousness.
Soon after, the door to the main hall was pushed open again.
Those members of the royalty and guests, who barely survived the uprising, hastily escaped like monkeys scattering
when the tree fell.
The helicopter and medical supplies requested by King were prepared. After Mikhail received an update from his
subordinate, he said to King, “We’ve brought everything you asked for. When will you return my daughter to me?”
King continued to shuffle toward the exit while holding Natalie hostage. He uttered coldly, “Don’t worry. As long as I
can leave this place unscathed, I’ll certainly let her go.”
