Chapter 262

Author: Tang Eighteen
"M-Ma’am, perhaps you’ve mistaken me for someone else. My name is Lucy, not Velda…”

Lucy struggled to speak, feeling like she was about to lose her mind. Why did she keep hearing this name? Who the hell was Velda?

Where was this place? How did she faint?

Looking at the woman who looked so similar to her, she had a bad feeling.

Among millions, two people looking alike was not unheard of. However, with the three of them resembling each other so closely, it was hard for anyone to believe that they were not related.

After losing her memory, Lucy still thought that she was part of the Quinn family, so she was reluctant to face the reality of this situation.

Feeling a bit lost, the middle-aged woman let go of Lucy after hearing her words.

She touched Lucy’s face and suppressed her overwhelming emotions. She insisted, “You’re Velda, my long-lost princess.”

“She’s right. Mom and Dad only learned the truth recently. Before they could send someone to find you, the news of your death arr

    Did Lucy jinx herself? She never thought that she would one day be involved with princes, princesses, kings, queens, and whatnot.Was this a Disney show or something? Was she some kind of runaway princess? How could any of this be real?“Um… Ma’am, I mean, Your Majesty, are you sure that I’m your daughter? Perhaps there’s been a mistake.“I-I’m very confused right now. Can I have some time alone…”Lucy’s words left Juliana feeling anxious. She grabbed Lucy’s shoulder and said, “How could I be mistaken? Velda, look at how similar we look. Anyone would think we’re mother and daughter. You’re meant to be my daughter.”She was right. With such similar faces, how could Juliana be lying? Lucy felt overwhelmed. Theodore could sense how Lucy was feeling from her demeanor.Seeing as his mother was getting agitated, he softly comforted her, “Mom, don’t press Lulu. Anyone would be at a loss in her shoes.“We have plenty of time. We’ve already found Lulu, so let’s let her rest and digest ev

    Charlotte still wore the same obedient and lovely smile as she went up to comfort her parents.“I believe that my little sister will recognize both of you soon. Just have a little more patience.” Only when she said those comforting words did Arthur and Juliana realize that their adopted eldest princess was also present.“Charlotte, you'll always be my dearest child.”Juliana reached out to hug Charlotte. Inside the room, Lucy listened as the sounds from outside gradually faded away.She sat up on the bed, searching for her phone. Seeing as she had been unconscious for so long and not home yet, Cillian was probably worried sick.She had to quickly contact Cillian to let him know that she was safe. She did not even know how much time had passed.The room was huge, so it took a while for Lucy to find her clothes and bag. After opening her bag, she was relieved to find that everything was still there.However, her phone was powered off. Not knowing whether there was a charger in the

    Lucy sighed and briefly explained what she had gone through the past couple of days.“Remember when I told you that I encountered a strange person? That’s the reason I changed my number.“After changing my number, I met an even stranger person who looks exactly like me. He even claimed that I’m his sister and a princess.“Later, I fainted and woke up in a palace. Some woman who looks almost identical to me said that I’m her little princess.“It’s all so surreal, Matthew. I’m the Quinn family’s daughter. How could I be a princess of a foreign country?”While explaining, Lucy could not help but rant.Her memories were still stuck in her freshman year of college, where she was still with that scumbag, Timothy, and she was still the daughter of her biased and wilful parents.Matthew listened in silence. As a late observer, he knew Lucy’s background better than anyone.He could not believe how miraculous fate could be. He had sent Lucy to Charleston to escape danger, but she even go

    The two of them exchanged a few more words before Matthew ended the call. However, he did not bother informing Cillian of Lucy’s situation out of pettiness.Since Cillian did not take good care of Lucy, Matthew maliciously let Cillian worry unnecessarily for a while.With peace of mind, Matthew closed his eyes and rested for a while. Meanwhile, Lucy spent the night wide awake, staring at the ceiling.Seemingly struck by a thought, Lucy got up and walked to the large dressing mirror.‘I should be plenty stimulated right now, right?' Lucy thought as she carefully lifted her pajamas.She twisted her body to look at her back in the mirror. Though it was not obvious, she could discern the feather-shaped birthmark on her back.Lucy murmured to herself, “So it’s true…”It was the second time she learned about this revelation, yet her emotions were still as calm as the first time. There was even a hint of relief and understanding as if a burden had been lifted from her shoulders.Since

    Despite having many heartfelt sentiments to express, Juliana still had some reservations.Ultimately, it was Lucy who broke the awkward silence.“Your Majesty, am I really your biological daughter? W-Why was I abandoned back then?” Lucy asked, prompting a mix of guilt and compassion to flood Juliana’s face.Lucy was stunned by the turn of events. She had intended to find something to talk about, but she somehow made things even more awkward.However, she genuinely wanted to hear Juliana’s explanation. How could the mighty king and queen of a country ever feel compelled to abandon their child out of necessity? Lucy could not bring herself to believe it.“No, my Velda. You’re so precious to me. How could I ever abandon you?” Juliana hurriedly explained, shaking her head. She then recounted the events of many years ago.“It was partly my and your father’s fault. Perhaps we've made too many enemies with our aggressive political methods.“On the day you were born, the continuous rain

    Dressed in elaborate and dignified attire, Charlotte exuded an air of royalty and even cuteness in her princess gown.Yet, her face was as vicious as a demon that crawled out from hell, instilling fear in anyone who looked at her.The maid outside the door trembled when she heard the screams from within. She was too afraid to approach and knock.Arthur, Juliana, and Theodore had no idea about the princess’ temperament, but as the maid who took care of her, how could she not know?She dared not enter, but if she delayed reporting to the princess, she would meet an even worse fate.After weighing her options, the maid trembled as she gently knocked on the door.Charlotte’s heart leaped at the sound of the knock. She immediately changed her demeanor to appear trembling and pitiful.Her ability to put on an act was astonishing, even surpassing the skill of theatre actors.“C-Come in.”Charlotte said with tears in her eyes as she looked toward the door. With permission granted, the

    ”Alice, how dare you ask me what’s wrong? You’ve truly disappointed me!”Charlotte wasted no time in accusing Alice, but Alice was not one to be trifled with either. She hung up the phone right away.Hearing the dial tone on the other end, Charlotte paused for a moment before hastily redialing the number, but there was no answer. She called again, refusing to give up until Alice finally picked up the phone.“Charlotte, I’m warning you. Our relationship is purely business. I’m not one of your subordinates.“Put away that princess attitude of yours. I’ve done what you asked me to do.”Alice did not spare Charlotte any face, and it was only then did Charlotte realize the true nature of her so-called friend.She quickly dropped her princess facade and resorted to her cute act to appease Alice.“I’m sorry, Alice. I was being too hasty this time. I’ll be more mindful of my attitude in the future.“Alice, you need to change your tactics! That woman isn’t dead!” After admitting her mis

    ”Don’t worry,” Alice responded simply.Just before Charlotte ended the call, Alice seemed to have lingering thoughts about this, so she added, “You’ve been raised under the care of the king and queen for so many years. "Their affection for you must be deeper than for that outsider. The queen may have given birth to her, but how could she compare to you? Why bother…”Before Alice could finish speaking, Charlotte interrupted her without hesitation, “What do you know? Even the assassin is feeling sorry for their target now, huh? Just focus on doing your job.”With that, Charlotte promptly hung up the phone, leaving Alice to chuckle and shake her head.What was there for her to feel sorry for? Even if Juliana did not give birth to Charlotte, the fact that she was raised by them outweighed all else. However, some people just could not distinguish the difference.Alice gently swirled the wine glass in her hand before bringing it to her mouth, downing it all in one go.Meanwhile, Char

    As Gabriella examined the luxurious clothes, bags, shoes, and pants, she could not help but feel that Lucy was completely unappreciative of such treasures. She failed to utilize them to enhance her appearance! They spent quite a while going through the various garments and accessories, yet there were still items they had not finished checking out.Lucy gave an awkward smile, acknowledging her own laziness. After a long search, Gabriella finally found a piece that caught her eye. As she checked the tag, she was surprised to find that the dress was designed by a renowned French designer. It featured a V-neck, with simple yet elegant sleeves that revealed a hint of Lucy's arms, while the skirt was a refined and tailored fit.Gabriella held up the dress against Lucy, murmuring to herself, “Hmm, this one’s nice! You should try it on!” Even though she spoke to Lucy in a tone reminiscent of an older sister, she still maintained her authority as a mother-in-law. It made her words both

    Since the previous incident, Lucy had become increasingly attentive to her children. She watched over them at nearly every moment.

    Matthew noticed Lucy’s absent-mindedness and asked gently, "Lulu, what’s on your mind?"“Oh, nothing… I just think what happened to Charlotte is so sudden,” Lucy replied.“Don’t worry about it. It has nothing to do with us. She was always trying to harm you. Her fate is something she brought upon herself.” Matthew patted her head comfortingly.However, Lucy found it suspicious. Although the news reported Charlotte’s assassination and that the monastery had burned down to ashes, it did not mention her body. That kind of crucial detail would not have been overlooked by the media.Matthew had also considered this possibility, but he had kept it to himself to avoid alarming Lucy. Charlotte had been sent to the monastery because of him and Lucy, and she had to harbor a deep hatred for them. If she managed to orchestrate her own escape, what if she was now seeking help from Spades to target Lucy? That would be dangerous.“Lulu, don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to you or the ch

    With nothing left to hold onto, Charlotte walked down the empty streets, her heart heavy with despair. She wore a black veil that covered her completely, revealing only her eyes. She even had on dark sunglasses. She dared not walk in the open or be seen, nor did she dare expose Juliana’s crimes to the world.She used to be a princess. Everything she had done, every privilege and indulgence, was backed by Arthur and Juliana’s love and permission. Now that her supporters had betrayed her, what right did she have to be reckless or demand anything? Surviving itself was a luxury. How could she even think of acting willfully?As she wandered in anguish, Charlotte found herself by the river. She remembered coming here with Arthur and Juliana when she was a child, laughing and walking along the bank. Now, each memory felt painfully ironic, and every kiss from Juliana seemed sickening. How could her world be so false? How could even the people she trusted most turn against her?Charlotte cou

    Charlotte continued to hide within the castle, unwilling to leave and equally unwilling to let anyone know she was alive—unless they promised never to send her back to the monastery. However, she doubted that would happen, so she kept to the shadows. After all, the castle had plenty of food. It was far better than anything at the monastery.One night, Charlotte quietly slipped into Arthur and Juliana's bedroom. To her surprise, Arthur was not there, and only Juliana was present. 'Dad must be too upset to sleep,' Charlotte thought. She knew him well—whenever he was troubled, he would retreat to the study rather than go to bed.As she watched her beloved mother, a tiny bit of her resolve wavered. Juliana looked utterly exhausted, as if she had lost a lot of weight in just a few days. Charlotte had a sudden urge to go in and comfort her, but she knew that was impossible. Charlotte realized that seeing someone through a wall of separation was the most painful thing of all.Just as

    The next morning, news of the assassination attempt on Charlotte was sensationalized across all media outlets. The internet was flooded with headlines about her close brush with death, sparking worldwide shock. No one could believe that Charlotte, notorious for her arrogance and harsh treatment of offenders, could have been targeted like this. Many who resented her strict, often cruel ways were both thrilled and stunned by the news. The royal family immediately tightened security at the monastery, dispatching a large police force to investigate what had happened. The monastery became a focal point of public intrigue.“What? That's impossible! How could there be no trace?” Juliana exclaimed in disbelief. Standing before her was the chief forensic investigator.“Yes, Your Majesty, there's no sign of Princess Charlotte’s remains,” the investigator confirmed firmly.“Fine, I understand. Leave me, and keep me informed if anything changes,” Juliana replied, pressing her fingers to her

    As the footsteps came closer, Charlotte held her breath, not daring to make a sound. Suddenly, a shadowy figure appeared—it was clear they were targeting her. She watched as the figure approached the bed, moving so quietly it was as if they made no sound at all. What could they possibly be planning? Surely, the headmistress would not go this far?The figure drew closer to the bed, bundled up the pillows and blankets, and then doused something over them. Charlotte could smell it—it was gasoline! Was the headmistress planning to kill her to silence her? She froze, unable to move. The shadow struck a match and dropped it onto the bed. In an instant, flames surged up from the blankets.In the fire’s glow, Charlotte could make out that it was not the headmistress but a man. After setting the fire, he quickly slipped away without making a single sound. Charlotte crept out while stifling a cough, afraid he might hear and return. The flames grew quickly, engulfing the bed and spreading t

    Over the past year or so, Charlotte had gradually come to understand that the world was not just about picturesque landscapes and lavish feasts. In the shadows, beyond her sight, lay a world full of schemes and deception. Despite her ongoing attempts to plot against Lucy Quinn, she had not noticed this aspect at all until she arrived at the monastery. Here, she realized how dark human nature could truly be.The women at the monastery constantly criticized and belittled her, while the headmistress was corrupt, using her position for personal vendettas. She was also driven by greed for wealth and status. All Charlotte wanted was to escape this dreadful place and return to her castle. She wanted to go back to her plush, comfortable bed. There, she led a life surrounded by maids tending to her every need.Thinking of this, she remembered Lucy and envisioned her seated in her rightful place, basking in the affection of Arthur and Juliana. She could see Lucy's haughty expression starin

    In a moment of heat, Charlotte blurted everything out. Joan was dumbfounded! Was this really Charlotte? She usually did not talk this much, did she? It was not just Joan who was shocked; the headmistress across from Charlotte was equally taken aback. Charlotte was usually so obedient. How had her tongue turned so venomous today? The headmistress was left speechless as every word Charlotte said was so reasonable that no one could argue against it, and it even warranted some compliments! Although Charlotte was confronting the headmistress, each of her statements felt like a plea for justice.Charlotte was not done yet and continued, “Since you know I’m a princess, you should give me some consideration. Yet, in reality, I’m the one giving you all the consideration. Is that reasonable?” Charlotte’s arguments were layered and logical, her thoughts clear. It left the headmistress in a muddle while Joan looked on with envy! The headmistress glanced at Charlotte, feeling quite displease
