"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

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

"Only Matthew might have the answer to that," Hugh said, rubbing his chin and thinking hard. On the big screen, the grand duke continued to say, "Let's all wish the queen a very happy birthday. And now, let's welcome today's other star, Princess Velda!" The grand duke's voice was full of excitement, and as he finished speaking, a beautiful, calming piano tune began to play.Everyone's eyes were drawn to the staircase, but instead, two bright spotlights shone into the air.A grand swing, covered in blossoming branches and giant golden feathers, gently floated down.On it stood two figures in their finest attire, Theodore and Lucy.Feathers from swans drifted down from above as Lucy, in a white princess gown and a golden crown, gazed upon the crowd.The light hit her face, making her shine like a star. The people watching could not help but gasp in awe."Wow, is she a fairy? She's so beautiful, I feel a little unworthy in her presence.""Princess Velda is the most noble and lo

Remembering the etiquette the palace administrator had taught her that morning, she bowed deeply to Arthur and Juliana."Greetings, my dearest parents." However, she was not allowed to stand up straight just yet.She had to wait until the ceremony was done. Arthur and Juliana sat on their thrones, gazing lovingly at their daughter."Velda, you're our beloved treasure, a precious gift from above that was brought to us," Arthur said."Now that you're grown up and so lovely, I'm filled with joy. Starting today, you're officially the one and only special little princess of Charleston. However, remember, being a princess means you have duties too..."Arthur waved his hand, and the ceremony officer, carrying the tray that contained the scroll and the seal, stepped forward. Arthur took the scroll and went on, "Hertfordshire was your mother's fief when she was a princess consort. Today, I'm giving it to you, hoping you'll take good care of it and live up to my and your mother's expectat

Hearing Charlotte's words, the ceremony officer felt a warm glow in his heart and quickly said, "Oh no, Your Highness. Don't worry, the crown is perfectly fine.""Really? Are you taking the crown to the back room?" Charlotte asked with a smile. The officer did not think twice and nodded."Yes, Crown Princess.""Alright then, be careful with it. That crown is my sister's, and we wouldn't want any sneaky thief getting their hands on it."Charlotte seemed to be hinting at something, but the officer just thought she was looking out for him and chuckled. "You're funny, Your Highness. There are no thieves in the palace.""Of course, you're right. Off you go, then."Charlotte waved her hand, and the officer bowed and left. The crowd around them kept up their lively chatter.Charlotte glanced around. Seeing no one was watching, she followed the officer toward the back room.Juliana and Lucy held the knife together and made a ceremonial cut in the cake, marking the end of the ritual."
