A Prince's Love

Chapter 198 - There Is No Free Lunch

Cynthia seemed to welcome her father and mother who had just arrived. He was confused about what to say. She glanced at Nizam as if asking for help. Nizam nodded his head. "Welcome to Bali, come please .." Nizam bowed his body while greeting respectfully. As usual, everyone around Nizam immediately bowed so that his position was lower than Nizam. Cynthia's parents were astonished and fascinated.

Cynthia's parents came from the lower classes. They never felt too much respect. Cynthia's father is only a low-level office worker with her mother who is just an ordinary housewife. Being given such respect by a person of Nizam level made their hearts feel very flattered and touched. Only Cynthia immediately knew that Nizam was trying a strategy..

'Damn it... Nizam's brain really is a crown prince's brain. How can he play with the feelings of his parents in such a way' Cynthia said in her heart.  Nizam can always negotiate with the people he talks to. People like being hypnotized and then subconsciously obeying Nizam's wishes. His parents look very impressed with Nizam's appearance and this is the first step towards victory

They immediately followed Nizam, whose body position was trying not to overtake them. Making Cynthia's parents even more flattered.

Nizam set up the meeting room at the hospital in such a way as to be room to welcome Cynthia's parents. First impressions determine the success of a negotiation.

Luxurious dishes brought directly from well-known international restaurants fill the tables arranged at the side of the room. "Cynthia invite your parents to eat first." Nizam returns to his strategy by inviting Cynthia's parents to eat first. People with hungry stomachs will not be able to negotiate easily.

Nizam waved his hand towards the servants. "Serve them well," said Nizam.

They sat down together and ate their food. Alena herself did not come. She was lying in bed feeling nauseous since last night. She was waited on by her assistant and her bodyguards. At first, Nizam was very worried and did not want to leave Alena but Alena forced Nizam to go negotiate with Cynthia's parents. Because Alena insisted that Nizam go, even though he was worried about leaving Alena.

But it was fortunate because Alena was accompanied by Doctor Desy. Nizam finally left too. Nizam is afraid that Alena's condition will get worse if He fails to negotiate with Cynthia's parents. If Alena wants something, it must be done, especially now that she is pregnant. 

And for now, her wish was to see Cynthia and Prince Thalal married. She wants them to live happily with Alena and Nizam

Prince Thalal also did not participate in the negotiations. He still couldn't get out of bed. He still gets dizzy when he gets out of bed. But other than that reason, Prince Thalal did not dare to face his future father-in-law directly. He was afraid that Cynthia's parents would reject Prince Nizam's proposal for the marriage of Prince Thalal and Cynthia.

"Your Majesty... at this moment I would like to thank you very much for giving Your Majesty to our family through Our Princess Cynthia." Cynthia's father spoke carefully. Actually, he is an intelligent person but his luck is not too good so he only becomes a lowly employee.

Very similar to Cynthia, Cynthia's father is a very loyal person. served many years in a small company and did not want to move to another company just because he owed Budi to his superiors. So he continues to work at the company. With a very mediocre income.

Nizam nodded his head with a respectful smile. He even poured a glass of expensive wine for Cynthia's parents as a sign of honor even though Nizam himself did not drink the wine. Cynthia's father then sipped the wine respectfully. He knew that the man in front of him didn't drink liquor but he served it to him.

"I am also actually very helped by Cynthia as a friend and friend of my wife,"  Nizam said very diplomatically…and that fascinated Cynthia's parents even more

"Oh yes, Miss Alena. I didn't see her. Where is she?" Cynthia's father forgot that Alena was married and he used to call her Miss Alena. Nizam smiled hearing Cynthia's father call Alena Miss. Until then he immediately realized his mistake. His wife nudged her husband's hand "She is married now. She is not Miss Alena anymore but Mrs. Her Highness Nizam."

"Umm... I mean that too, Mrs. Nizam uh, Your Highness Nizam" Cynthia's father was immediately nervous. Nizam smiled broadly to dispel the stiffness that was created between them.

"It's all right,  You can call us by any name. You don't have to be too shy. You are Cynthia's parents which means my parents too" Nizam tried to remove the awkwardness from Cynthia's parents. You can call her Mrs. Nizam. 

"How could it be like that? You are the Crown Prince of the Azura Kingdom. We must not be rude." Cynthia's father said shaking his head. Nizam's elegant demeanor made him even more amazed.

Umm fine. Your Majesty. So where is Mrs. Alena? We miss her very much. She is a very nice person. Our daughter is very lucky to have a friend like Mrs. Alena" Cynthia said while looking for Alena.

Nizam sighed and replied, She is not in good condition"

"Oh...Is Mrs. Nizam sick?" Cynthia's mother was shocked.

"She's pregnant, Mom... She's been nauseous since yesterday." Cynthia said.

"Ooh.. morning sickness...Your Majesty, I hope Mrs.Nizam is fine" Cynthia's mother continued.

"Amen... Hopefully," said Nizam, still smiling.

"So Your Majesty, I am very surprised to hear Cynthia say that Your Majesty called me to Bali. I hope that our daughter Cynthia does not make a mistake" Cynthia's father seemed impatient to find out what Nizam meant to come.

Nizam immediately straightened up, took a breath, and started to speak slowly. He can't be wrong so that his proposal fails. His Brother's happiness is at stake. He must try his best to make his Brother live happily with Cynthia

"My younger brother Prince Thalal fell in love with Cynthia .." Nizam was silent. He first saw the reaction of Cynthia's parents.

Cynthia's parents were astonished and immediately looked at their daughter's face sharply as if they wanted to swallow her whole. "Is our daughter acting impudent? Is She teasing His Highness Prince Thalal?" Cynthia's father was a little mad. Cynthia immediately cringed in fear. She sat tense in her chair.

Nizam immediately gave a glass of water to his respectfully.  Nizam said again very carefully while continuing to look at Cynthia's father's face. The decision usually rests with the head of the family so Nizam tries to convince Cynthia's father first.

"Cynthia has done nothing wrong. She is a very polite and kind girl. My little brother who doesn't know himself already loves her. Please forgive me and my family from the Azura Kingdom who couldn't raise him so that they dared to love a girl as good as Cynthia." Nizam still smiled sweetly. Cynthia looked at Nizam's face in amazement. How could Nizam be so amazing at wasting words as sweet as honey to make her parents who are so strict become so fascinated?

Cynthia looked at the faces of her parents who looked at Nizam with a face like seeing the most handsome and sweetest Greek god. Nizam is truly the most dangerous chameleon in the world. How can his face change from cruel,  annoying, ridiculous, and now he just saw that Nizam's character is a bit like Prince Thalal in stirring up other people's emotions?

Cynthia still remembers how Nizam beat Prince Thalal's bodyguard, then kicked the table until it fell apart when Alena wanted to be harassed by Justin. He also tortured Alena on his first night until Alena fainted helplessly. Cynthia doesn't know what face Nizam will show in front of her. Cynthia is grateful that Prince Thalal is not like Nizam.

She feels afraid if She has to be close to people like Nizam's character. The woman who suits him is really Alena. Because Alena is the one who will survive with such a trait. The proof is when Alena was beaten on the first night which might have caused deep trauma and fear for other women, not even for Alena. Alena instead beat Nizam in the groin and then they made up again.

Prince Thalal had a sweet face because he was naturally kind and gentle. But Nizam is basically cruel and assertive. He acts sweet when he has a specific purpose. Nizam's face in Cynthia's eyes was full of falsehood. Alena alone is often tricked and tricked. Nizam had almost no mercy. Everyone is used for personal gain and ambition. Only Alena is slightly able to neutralize Nizam's cruelty.

Cynthia also believes that Nizam is not helping Prince Thalal and her relationship for free. There is a saying that says "There is no free lunch." She believed that Nizam was tying herself and Prince Thalal to stay by his side. Help the Nizams gain true power in the Azura kingdom and completely overhaul their royal system.
