"Someone, bring me a change of clothes. I want to go see my sister,” Charlotte commanded and arrogantly entered the dressing room. She completely forgot the fact that she was still being confined to her quarters.She tearfully begged to attend the ball last night, and she was even willing to extend her period of confinement just for that.However, it seemed like she had forgotten about it. No one cared to remind her, not even those outside her room.The maids helped her change, and they headed toward Lucy’s room.On the way there, Charlotte whispered to the maid beside her, “You, go and do something for me…”“Yes, Your Highness…”The room hastened off toward Lucy’s room. At this moment, Charlotte and Hugh had just arrived.“Chelsea! You came to see me! I knew I could count on you.”When Lucy saw Chelsea, she rushed over to embrace her.However, Chelsea deliberately put on a stern expression and raised her palm, blocking Lucy’s face.“Stop right there, you heartless bitch. Whi
Lucy and Chelsea thought of the same thing at the same time, and they smiled at each other.“Lulu, I saw you last night, descending from the sky in a princess dress. I was stunned,” Chelsea said to her after their sentimental moment, feeling genuinely happy for her.Lucy looked surprised and said in disbelief, “You were at the ball last night? You should have come in to see me.”“Well, if only someone hadn't stopped me from coming in. But it’s okay. I’m here today anyway. You know, when I saw you last night, I only had one thought in my mind.”Chelsea quickly brushed past the topic, not wanting Lucy to know too much.When Lucy heard that, she could not help but ask, “What is it? Were you mesmerized by my beauty?”Lucy shamelessly flattered herself for a while, but Chelsea shook her head firmly.“No, no, no. It’s that I can finally fulfill my wish of living off my filthy rich best friend. Haha!”…“Chelsea, that’s enough.”Lucy said, exaggerating her dismay. She had always tho
Just as Lucy and Chelsea got to the door, they bumped into someone coming their way.“Lucy, what a coincidence. You walked out just as I came to see you. It’s like we have a telepathic connection. Did you sleep well last night?”Charlotte greeted Lucy with a fake smile. Lucy rolled her eyes inwardly. 'Telepathic connection, my ass! Tsk!' she thought.“Too bad you came at the wrong time. I was just about to have breakfast with my friend, so I’m afraid I can’t entertain you,” Lucy replied with a forced smile, ready to pull Chelsea away.Of course, Chelsea sensed the change in Lucy’s mood, so she quickly shot her a questioning look. It seemed she wanted to ask, ‘Who’s that? What’s going on?’“It’s nothing, just an annoying pest. I’ll tell you later, so just ignore her for now. Let’s go," Lucy mouthed back silently, but the two understood each other perfectly.Charlotte’s expression darkened while these two were exchanging glances and completely disregarding her.Seeing as they were
The group quickly arrived at the dining hall, and Charlotte instinctively took the main seat.Lucy and the others did not mind at all, so they simply ignored her.Lucy sat next to Chelsea, so Matthew had no choice but to sit with Hugh.When they began to eat, Lucy and Chelsea whispered to each other.“Your sister is quite the bitch. She could even rival Luna.”Charlotte immediately reminded Chelsea of Luna, and she wondered what kind of bad luck Lucy had to encounter a sister like that in both her adopted family and biological family.Hearing that, Lucy let out a laugh. Chelsea had a good eye, indeed.However, Charlotte and Luna still had their differences. Luna may have been evil, but she was foolish. Charlotte was way more cunning than her.“Ugh, don’t even mention it. You know what…”Lucy was about to rant to her when Charlotte interrupted them with a smile, “What are you whispering to your friend, Lucy? You look so happy. Why don’t you share the news with all of us?”“It’
"Lucy, what do you mean by that? Are you implying that me being here bothers you?”Charlotte wore a look of incredulity, but inside, she was delighted.She had been struggling to make Lucy act out. Now, she had the perfect opportunity to make Lucy accuse her for no apparent reason because of an outsider. This time, she was confident she could turn the tables on Lucy. ‘Let’s see how Lucy is going to handle this now!’ she thought.“If you still don’t get it, let me put it bluntly. What I’m trying to say is…”Lucy did not care anymore and was ready to confront Charlotte directly until Matthew interrupted her calmly.“What my wife means is, Princess Charlotte, aren’t you supposed to be grounded? Has Prince Theodore ordered the lifting of your confinement? Because we weren’t informed about it.”Charlotte, who was still acting a moment ago, was now frozen in place.Lucy initially intended to confront Charlotte directly and defend Chelsea, but after listening to Matthew’s words, she
"I’m not so sure about that. What if she runs off and complains to your biological parents, saying we bullied her? What do we do then?” Chelsea spoke up.Lucy shook her head and said, “I don’t think so. She’s already in the wrong for sneaking out without permission, so she doesn’t even have the right to complain in the first place. She won’t be able to win the argument.”“Alright, alright. Let’s not think about it anymore. Now that the pest is gone, let’s enjoy our meal.”Lucy’s reasoning made sense, so Chelsea stopped dwelling on it. The group happily resumed their lunch.Charlotte may have left the hall, but she did not leave immediately. She glared hatefully at the dining hall from outside while her maid approached her.“Your Highness…”Charlotte turned to her and smiled slyly as she watched the four people inside chatting away happily.“Have you done the thing I asked you to take care of?”The maid nodded, and Charlotte smirked, gazing coldly into the hall as she thought, ‘
Before Lucy could process what was happening, Charlotte rushed into the dining hall with Lola.“I see. I was wondering why you were so eager to kick me out. It turns out that it’s because you’re afraid that I’ll catch you damaging the crown Mom and Dad gave you!”Charlotte wasted no time in putting the blame on Lucy. Without giving anyone a chance to respond, she instructed Lola, “Hurry and fetch the King and Queen. Tell them what happened.”“Yes, Your Highness!” Lola, her maid, nodded and hastily dashed out.Lucy was speechless. She finally understood what exactly Charlotte was up to.“When did you see me damaging the crown? Shouldn’t you be grounded right now? Why haven’t you left yet? Oh, I see. You were waiting outside specifically for this.”Lucy glared at her coldly. If this was how she wanted to play the game, Lucy saw no need to be polite to her anymore.Ignoring Lucy’s sarcasm, Charlotte said triumphantly, “I saw it with my own two eyes. Do you even know what the crown
There were so many crowns in the palace, and Lucy alone had two. Her parents would not reprimand her over a single crown, right?As they confronted each other, Lola quickly summoned Arthur and Juliana.Following Charlotte’s instructions, Lola told them, “Your Majesties, Princess Charlotte and Princess Velda are arguing because Princess Charlotte saw Princess Velda damaging the coronation crown. "Princess Charlotte advised Princess Velda not to because of the crown’s importance, but Princess Velda argued that it was just a crown and that it did not matter whether it was damaged or not. "Her Highness told Princess Charlotte not to meddle in her business, so they started arguing.”What?! Arthur was furious, so when they arrived, the first thing he did upon seeing Lucy was shout at her, “Velda, what are you doing?”Lucy was taken aback by his shouting.Charlotte smirked and immediately put on a tearful face, crying to Arthur and Juliana, “Dad, Mom, I tried to tell her. I… I couldn
