Chapter 337

Theodore left after saying that. Lucy did not understand what he meant.

However, she found out very soon.

News came from the palace that Theodore had summoned the helper from Charlotte’s residence for interrogation.

After that, Charlotte was grounded and had half a year’s pocket money deducted.

Even her fief profits had been taken from her. It was considered a very serious punishment.

Charlotte’s eyes were swollen from all the crying, and nothing changed even when she tried to beg for leniency from Juliana. She continued to be grounded.

Lucy’s coronation day arrived very soon. It was a national celebration.

When Hugh and Chelsea arrived in Charleston’s capital, it was covered with lights and decorations. The entire city was in a festive mood.

“Wow, Charleston’s capital is really beautiful, Hugh. Is there a special holiday today? Why does everyone look so happy?”

Chelsea looked around with curiosity and was in a great mood.

She had just walked past a few shops, and they were

    Getting the invitation and attending the ball was not the most important thing. The most important thing was to get into the palace and find out if there was any news of Lucy.They quickly headed to the hotel after making the decision to put down their luggage. They went to the front desk to find out more information about how to buy an invitation.When they found out that the invitations were limited, they quickly went to the palace entrance to buy one before they were all sold out.It took them some effort to finally arrive at the palace entrance.

It had been three days since she was grounded.She had attempted to see Juliana during these three days, but the helpers outside her room had stopp

    “Let’s not worry about getting punished. We should inform the queen about this immediately or it'll end badly for us.”The slightly older maid said decisively. She continued, “Stay here to look after Princess Charlotte. I’ll report this to the king and queen right now.”Her companion nodded, and she went toward Charlotte’s bedroom.Charlotte’s bedroom was not far from Arthur and Juliana's, and the maid arrived very soon.When she went to see Arthur and Juliana, Theodore and Lucy were present.It was because today was Lucy’s big day. Lucy had been dragged to the inner hall early in the morning to change and get styled.She had to meet the ministers, and there was the ball as well. There was plenty of etiquette to pay attention to.Lucy had to do last-minute homework as she listened to the palace administrator give her a lecture while her makeup was being applied. Lucy got drowsy while listening to her.The maid immediately knelt in front of Juliana and Theodore when she saw them

    Charlotte had pretended to pass out to get Juliana to visit her. How could a princess do something so inappropriate?The maids felt disdain for Charlotte over her actions. They finally understood why Theodore refused to let Juliana see her.“You’re mistaken, Princess Charlotte. The first thing we did was inform the queen about this, but we could only bring the royal physician here because of Prince Theodore’s orders. That's why Her Majesty isn’t here.”The maid looked up slightly as she informed Charlotte of the truth with slight glee.“That’s impossible. My mother would never treat me this way. You’re lying!”Charlotte did not believe that Juliana would be hard-hearted enough not to see her. The maid replied condescendingly, “I’m telling you the truth. It’s up to you whether or not you believe me.”“What kind of attitude is that? Are you mocking me? Who do you think you are to be mocking me?!”Charlotte lost her temper on the spot. She got off her bed to slap the maid.The mai

    Due to what she said, Charlotte's punishment was just being grounded for half a month. However, it could have been worse..."You know you did wrong, so just reflect on it, okay? Half a month will fly by. Why did you lie to me?"Juliana was still upset about Charlotte yelling at the maids and was not convinced by Charlotte's excuses.Charlotte thought hard and then had a great idea. Crying, she said, "Mom, you don't understand how hard it's been. I've only been grounded for two days, and the maids are already treating me badly. They don't even respect me as the crown princess anymore."Charlotte blamed everything on the maids, and Juliana got really mad."You're my daughter. How could they treat you like that?"Juliana was moved by Charlotte's words, so Charlotte kept going, "I was so mad, that's why I yelled at them. Mom, please talk to my brother for me. Today's your birthday and my sister's big day. I'm the crown princess. I have to be there, right?"What will the ministers an

    "I can't decide for you, Charlotte. I'd only be in your way if I stopped you from going," Lucy said with a smile, leaving Charlotte speechless and at a loss for words. Just then, a helper came with a message. "Your Majesty, all the guests have arrived, and the king is asking if you're ready to escort the princess." "Tell the king we'll be there soon," Juliana instructed, and the helper left. She then turned to them and said, "Enough, enough. We can talk about this after tonight. Charlotte, go change your clothes. Don't make your father anxious." That meant Charlotte was going to the dance. She beamed with happiness, nodding eagerly. Once Charlotte left to get dressed, Juliana looked at Lucy with a guilty expression. Lucy gave a reassuring smile and said quickly, "Mom, don't feel bad. It's important for Charlotte to be there. I get it." "Velda, you really are my good child!" Juliana was touched and hugged Lucy gently.The coronation ceremony of the royal princess was a grand

    The moment the woman spoke her mind, the others panicked and covered her mouth."Have you lost your mind? You can't just say things like that. She's the princess consort-to-be! What if she heard you?"They watched Annabella's back with anxiety, and the woman started to regret her words.Even without considering Annabella's future title, just being the grand duke's daughter put her above them.Knowing Annabella, if she had heard those words, she would surely make trouble for that woman."Okay, okay, I get it. I won't say things that will cause trouble anymore."After the woman backed down, they all eagerly started talking about Matthew."Hey, do you think the good-looking Matthew has a date? Do you think he'll ask me to dance?""In your dreams! If he asks anyone, it'll be me...""Why would he ask you? He doesn't know you. Why would he pick you?""Because I'm prettier than you..."Cillian strolled past them and stopped in front of Matthew. His words were tinged with a teasing

    Cillian scoffed. Lucy would definitely want to see him. Matthew was just being mean on purpose! "Anyway, Mr. Leon, my brother and I need to talk, so we'll just head over there for a bit."Caleb stood in front of Cillian, all smiles, and started to lead him away. The more he heard, the more he felt something was off.His little brother's relationship with Matthew seemed really complicated. He had to get to the bottom of that."Go ahead."Matthew took a small sip of his champagne, not caring where the brothers went as long as they did not bother him.Darn, why was time crawling by so slowly? His wife still had not appeared.It was not just Matthew who felt the time was dragging. Chelsea and Hugh, who were outside the palace, felt the same way.The two had been in line all afternoon, and when they could not get tickets at the gate, they ended up buying them from a scalper for way too much money."Ugh, can you believe it? People are making a business out of a coronation, snatchin

    Hugh chuckled at her words, but noticing the serious looks from the people around, he quickly got serious and whispered back to Chelsea, "Shh, just watch and keep quiet. We shouldn't say that..."While Hugh was still speaking, Chelsea pointed excitedly at the screen as if she had found something amazing. She said to Hugh, "Look, who's that? If I'm not wrong, that's Matthew, right? What's he doing at the Charleston princess' coronation?"Matthew stood out in the crowd, his looks and presence making him as noticeable as a crane in a flock of chickens.Chelsea saw him right away. Hugh, following where she pointed, just glanced over without much fuss.Chelsea's mind was racing with thoughts, but Hugh's quiet words were like a splash of cold water, calming her down."At big royal parties in Charleston, they sometimes invite important people from other countries, like leaders and big business folks. Matthew probably got invited because of who he is."That made sense, especially since

    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

    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
