Chapter 1718: Can I Meet the King?
Jennifer thought for a moment, her eyes sincere, "Queen, I must also go, even if I am stopped by him.
This is my etiquette. If I was an ordinary woman, being rude would not matter much, but today I came
to visit your country as Mrs. Marsh. Being rude would lead to gossip, and we are a country of courtesy
to begin with. I would feel bad if I did not at least try to see the king."
Catherine was silent, feeling a bit conflicted. She felt Jennifer's words made sense, but the king would
not even see his own son now, how could he meet a foreigner? It would be very awkward to be
rejected. After all, she is Mrs. Marsh.
Ivan also looked at Catherine. Without discussing, he of course stood by his wife's side, also knowing
what his wife wanted to do.
Catherine met Ivan's gaze. She certainly did not want to offend him or ruin his reputation.
Unsure what to do, Catherine looked towards the woman standing behind her. Jolie's eyes were
downturned, her expression cold. She did not speak either.
Just then, Jennifer smiled and said, "Queen, when my husband came, the king held a banquet to
welcome him. If I come knowing he is severely ill and do not try to see him, it would be hard to explain."
She appealed to Catherine's emotions and reason.
Finally, Catherine could refuse no longer. She put down her teacup and stood up, "Alright, I will take
you there now."
She desperately wanted to win over Ivan! She wanted to become friends with him, use his power to
bring down Ethan, and seize the throne from Louis' hands in the future!
After all, this sickly king could not be relied upon.
Jolie had always been very perceptive. She felt Mrs. Marsh's sudden visit had ulterior motives,
definitely not just missing her husband.
No man was worth missing this much.
With the recent turmoil within the royal family, any sudden occurrence deserved suspicion. Having lived
amidst the undercurrents of the royal family, Jolie had developed professional habits.
But seeing the queen leading Mr. and Mrs. Marsh out, Jolie could only follow. She would observe more
and see what Mrs. Marsh was up to!
On the way to the king's palace, the scenery was beautiful. The gentle breeze carried floral aromas. No
one spoke about the king's illness, since it had not been announced publicly or reported in the news.
Asking too much would seem rude and raise suspicion.
"How long will Mrs. Marsh stay?" Catherine curiously asked. "Will you wait for Mr. Marsh to return
together?"
Ivan and Jennifer held hands. Ivan answered for her, "Of course not, she just wants to visit the royal
family and hopefully find some design inspiration. She is a designer."
"Oh?" Catherine was surprised and happily looked at the woman, asking, "An interior designer?"
"Also a fashion designer," Jennifer smiled humbly, "Just a hobby and interest. I work at his company."novelbin
To build rapport, Catherine said, "Could I ask Mrs. Marsh to design two evening gowns for me when
you have time?"
"No problem," Jennifer readily agreed. "I've designed evening gowns for 15 queens. They were all very
happy, and the gowns had the highest appearance rate among all dresses."
This shocked Catherine even more. "How excellent!" So Mrs. Marsh had interacted with royalty before.
No wonder she was so at ease, composed, and graceful.
Hearing this, even Jolie was a bit shocked.
She thought, looks like this woman is not simple. Although she got these jobs easily relying on Mr.
Marsh.
Or perhaps she did not actually design these gowns at all, only lending her name to them.
But being able to win over Mr. Marsh proved this woman was not simple.
