My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Chapter 1940

At this moment, no matter if it was the people in this square right now.

Or even the people watching their televisions, on the internet and in front of their radios, everyone was listening attentively to Tremaine, and every single person was excited.

They had never heard anything like this before.

Especially coming from someone from a high-ranking position. They were elated and uplifted from this news. Everyone was so happy, they weren't able to control themselves.

Back in the square, Tremaine continued his speech, "Our country is built on the pillars of fairness and integrity. I, Tremaine, hope that everyone in my country can be treated equally. In my country, there is no distinction between dignitaries and commoners. All men are created equal. Our goals and ambitions are not limited by who we are!"

"People who have regrets will bring others down, and broken people will form broken families that seek to destroy themselves. People who destroy themselves will eventually cause the country to destroy itself. I hope every citizen in Nashaland understands this!"

"Also, my marriage isn't a political tool. Your president isn't a person who would sacrifice his own marriage to gain more power or to stabilize his own regime. Your president is a person who believes in love and equality. I truly believe that this is the kind of president that you truly want!"

Tremaine finished his speech.

Below the stage, there was thunderous applause.

All the people in front of their televisions, on the internet and on their radios, began to applaud.

They were witnessing the formation of an entirely new president.

Their president's speech gave all of them hope!

There was hope for everyone to be equal!

Yes, it was true. There was no law on earth that said that the president of the country couldn't marry a commoner.

Who said that the president's marriage must be used to stabilize their rule?

Who said that a commoner couldn't marry a president?

Everyone had the right to dream.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Selina was also applauding in the crowd.

She applauded Tremaine and cheered out loud!

Selina then noticed that someone was staring at her.

Matthew was staring at her.

Selina quickly put her hands down.

She brushed her hair away as though nothing had happened. "I was just swatting a mosquito away. I saw mosquitoes around us."

"Hmm?" Matthew hummed knowingly at her. "There are mosquitoes in the daytime, huh?"

"Of course, there are mosquitoes in the daytime." Selina replied, "Why else would I be clapping my hands for?"

Matthew laughed out loud.

He would allow this to slide for Selina's sake.

He looked at Tremaine who was still on the stage, taking in all of the applause.

Matthew's eyes flashed with admiration.

He had spoken with Tremaine several times before, most of conversations being about Yesseca. When it came to talking about relationships between men and women, Tremaine was so clueless, he couldn't be any more inept with it.

However, apart from matters regarding men and women, Tremaine was extremely intelligent in everything else.

Like this crisis, for example.

Tremaine had solved it effortlessly with just some words.

And more importantly, he had won the hearts of the people.

He was incredibly wise and powerful.

Selina then said, "Do we still need to announce our relationship with Yesseca to Nashaland? We should let the people know that Yesseca does come from a strong background. That way, they won't bully her anymore about this."

Matthew immediately rejected Selina's idea.

He smiled and looked at Selina, "Selina, since Tremaine has already spoken up for Yesseca, why bother with it? I think Tremaine's charisma and narrative will bring the citizens to love Yesseca in time."

After a short pause, Matthew looked deeply at Selina, "If Yesseca does a good job, she will definitely be remembered in Nashaland history. Future generations of the citizen's of Nashaland will remember her as the commoner the president married."

Selina held her breath.

She finally understood what Matthew meant earlier.

She recognized how forward thinking Matthew was.

When she thought about it, she realized how likely it actually was.

Public opinion was easily swayed.

It was very easy to change their opinions about things.

For example, the people of Nashaland had been opposed to Tremaine and Yesseca being together and wanted him to marry Navidia, the princess of Megeland, but after Tremaine's speech, they'd all changed their opinion.

"Support the president's choice to marry that commoner girl and thank him for making our dreams come true! The president is right! When has anyone ever said that marriage could only happen with certain people? Why shouldn't our president be able to marry a commoner?"

"It's all because we've been looking down on ourselves! That's right, we're commoners just like her! We shouldn't look down on ourselves! Thank you, Mr. President! Thank you for this reminder!"

"We've really chosen an excellent man to be our president! This is the best president we've ever had, no one else is better than him! His strength has taught us what equality is!"

"I'm crying. I once had a boyfriend, he was only the son of a mayor. When we talked about marriage, his mother insulted me in front of all of his relatives. She ridiculed me as some stupid girl who wanted to marry into a family like theirs! She said I was delusional! I've always felt inferior inside for so many years because of the things she said. But now, after listening to our president's speech, I don't feel inferior anymore! A commoner can marry our president! Why should marrying the son of a mayor be impossible? It turns out that I wasn't dreaming! I was just looking down on myself!"

"The president is right. Everyone is made equal! Marriage should be allowed so long as two people love each other. There shouldn't be so many rules to it. If marriage needed so many rules, then is there such a thing as true love in this world?" All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"Our president is so brave. I thought that the president would compromise and abandon that commoner to marry Princess Navidia, but he didn't compromise. He even made this speech in front of everyone. Our president is so brave! We are so lucky to have a president like him!"

Although some people still insisted on Tremaine marrying Navidia, in the face of such

overwhelming support for Yesseca, their voices were soon drowned out.

The majority of protesters then dispersed.

Although some of them didn't want to leave, it didn't matter.

The protest had ended.

Preslie had burst out in tears.

Merlin, the department head, was shocked to see this.

This was the first time she had ever seen Preslie cry.

Merlin asked her what she was crying about, "Preslie, did someone bully you? Tell me who did it to you!"

Merlin used to despise Prelise, but she had changed her opinion about her and was very protective of her now.

Preslie looked at Merlin with tears in her eyes. "No one has bullied me, Merlin. I'm just so touched right now. I'm so touched by his speech!"

Merlin was quiet.
