Watching Caleb fret and fume, Cillian sighed and said, "It's not what you think, Caleb. The Charleston royals have been nothing but kind to us. It's just that I, uh, kind of ended up sleeping with a woman..."Cillian's face was the picture of regret, but Caleb nearly spat out his drink.What! Slept with a woman? His little brother Cillian, the golden boy, actually slept with a woman? That was more jaw-dropping than ticking off the king of Charleston! "Spill it, man. What the heck happened?"Caleb leaned in, his eyes sparkling with a mix of excitement and the irresistible pull of juicy gossip.Cillian's mouth twitched involuntarily. Was his brother actually getting a kick out of that?However, Caleb was the only one he could talk to about it, so Cillian confessed, "Yesterday, Lucy turned me down. I was so bummed out that I hit the bar and got plastered."Caleb had to stifle a laugh, which came out as a coughing fit. It was sad that his little brother was nursing a broken heart wit

"Fine. You're my little brother, so I'll give you a hand this time."Caleb let out a sigh. It was his little brother, after all. What could he do but spoil him a bit?"Thanks, Caleb. You're the best. Her name's Yitty. She looks like a Daburinean, and she's drop-dead gorgeous. I'm counting on you to find her."Cillian rattled off what Yitty looked like in a hurry.Caleb gave him a look and blurted out, "You're not just after her for her looks, are you?"...Cillian just stared back at Caleb, silent. Caleb caved immediately."Alright, alright, I'll drop it. Yitty, got it. If she's in Charleston, I'll find her. But if she's not, don't hold your breath.""It's fine. I'll sketch her portrait. It'll make the search easier with that in hand."Cillian massaged his temples. Reassured by Caleb, he decided it was time to head back to his place. Caleb did not try to keep him any longer but threw in a last-minute caution as Cillian was about to step out. "Oh, and just so you know, Grandp

To top it off, there was an absurdly long line of people trailing behind her.Not this again...Lucy sighed internally. It was the third time this had happened, and she had only been back with her parents for less than two weeks! After the private council meeting, the ministers had showered her with gifts. Even Juliana had sent presents her way.Later that night, Arthur and Juliana had each sent more gifts."Velda, these are all the birthday presents from your mom and dad, from your first birthday to now."Juliana herself had said it. Lucy, who had never before received a birthday gift from her family, was overjoyed to accept the gifts.Imagine her shock when she found out her first birthday present was a pure platinum necklace, centered with a pink diamond as big as a pigeon's egg.Her second birthday present was an emerald stone of immeasurable value, the third a painting by a world-renowned artist, and the fourth a Barbie doll as tall as a child. It was decked out in a diamon

Matthew was ready to politely decline for Lucy, but she responded to the maid with a warm smile, "I got it. Tell my sister I'll be right there."Lucy knew her parents' greatest wish was for her to bond with Charlotte as true sisters.With her parents treating her so kindly, refusing an invitation from Charlotte herself just did not seem right."Of course, Second Princess."The maid nodded and backed out of the room, leaving Matthew to eye Lucy with a hint of disapproval. "Lucy, why on earth did you say yes? What if Charlotte's planning something sinister in her own quarters?"Matthew's concern creased his forehead. He was not one to cry wolf without reason. He had a habit of expecting the worst in people.Lucy shook her head, a gentle smile on her face. "Oh, Matthew, you're worrying too much. We're in the royal palace, for heaven's sake. Charlotte wouldn't dare tarnish her image with our folks watching."And let's be honest, we're only guessing her intentions. She invited me for

Lucy entered Charlotte’s room with a smile.Charlotte immediately suppressed all her emotions and greeted Lucy with a smile, “I didn’t wait long. You came at just the right time, Lucy. Please, have a seat. The refreshments the helpers prepared today are delicious.”Charlotte gestured for Lucy to sit down, and without dilly-dallying, Lucy naturally took a seat.“You didn’t just invite me over for tea, right? You must have something you want to discuss with me,” Lucy said straightforwardly as she sat down, cutting to the chase about why Charlotte summoned her.Charlotte stared deep into her eyes before smiling all of a sudden. “You’re quite clever, Lucy. I wanted to invite you to accompany me out of the palace for some shopping.”Shopping?Charlotte wanted to take her shopping?Lucy looked at Charlotte with confusion, so she hurriedly explained, “Whenever I leave the palace, I have to be accompanied by many guards and helpers. I find it so annoying, so I always secretly sneak out.

Charlotte even thought that once she was done with Lucy, she would look for Cillian and get together with him, but that was beside the point… Once Matthew entered the room, Lucy felt like her savior was here. With a smile, she stood up and walked to Matthew’s side. She wrapped her arm around his. “Matt, you came at the right time. My sister was just inviting me to leave the palace to do some shopping.”She briefly explained the situation to Matthew, who nodded understandingly and smiled. “I see. Would you like to go, wifey?”“Since my sister invited me, of course, I want to go with her. But carrying bags while shopping is such a hassle…“Charlotte, why don’t we let Matthew come with us? If we’re sneaking out, no one will carry our bags for us. We can let Matt do all the labor.“Matt, would you be willing to be our laborer for the day?”After saying that, Lucy immediately turned to Matthew. He chuckled lightly and replied, “It would be an honor to be my wife’s laborer. "Besid

Charlotte insisted on dragging Lucy upstairs with her.Despite her reluctance, Lucy could not refuse, so she simply followed her upstairs.As a man, it was not appropriate for Matthew to go up with them.Not to mention, the decor of the store… Well, it was a store that sold lingerie, so it made Matthew uncomfortable to look around.Matthew rubbed his eyes and thought that Kent should have arrived by now, so he called him.“Have you arrived? How many men did you bring with you?”Kent sounded a little lost, but he responded promptly, “Yes, sir. I brought everyone from Charleston along with me. We’re outside the store right now, but what exactly are we supposed to do?”In fact, they had arrived a long time ago. However, without instructions from Matthew, they had no idea what they were supposed to do.

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

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
