Chapter 351

Arthur and Juliana started dancing, so the others naturally followed suit.Typically, a man with a sense of chivalry would be the one to invite the lady to dance. However, Theodore was a little senseless when it came to romance.Annabella had never been one for coy gestures, so she straightforwardly walked up to Theodore and said, “Prince Theodore, are you going to ask me to dance?”No other woman would be as straightforward as her, and no gentleman would refuse such a request either.Naturally, Theodore extended his hand and said, “Of course. Miss Annabella, may I have the pleasure of this dance?”All things considered, he still admired Annabella for her directness and intelligence.However, her dancing skills and ability to effortlessly navigate social situations were not enough to interest him.Theodore and Annabella danced gracefully, breaking the hearts of many other young women below who also wished to dance with Theodore.Every year, Annabella’s boldness infuriated them.

Chapter 352

Charlotte’s words sounded like consolation, but they also extinguished the hopes of these young men.They thought that they might have a chance with the beautiful princess, but it turned out that the long-lost princess was already married.How could they not be disappointed?Only then did they remember Charlotte.The young men approached Charlotte, hoping to invite her to dance.“Your Highness, may I have the honor of inviting you to dance with me?”The same scene unfolded before Charlotte. She smiled at the crowd as if she were about to select one of them.The young men fixed their hopeful gazes on her, but she suddenly withdrew her hand and said, “I’m sorry, everyone, but I’ve also found myself a dance partner.”With that, she went around the group of bachelors and walked away.Were they kidding? These men only approached her after getting rejected. Did they think she would be so easily deceived?If Lucy did not want them, neither did Charlotte.Besides, Charlotte had long

Chapter 353

Dumbfounded, Charlotte stood there with a strong urge to annihilate Cillian.So what if she liked him? That did not mean he could reject her and make her look bad!“Silly little brother, how could you reject such a lovely princess? Your Royal Highness, may I have this dance?”At that crucial moment, Caleb showed up to ease Charlotte’s embarrassment, though it was unknown whether he was doing it intentionally.“Sure.”She still needed a dance partner tonight. Since this man showed up, she had no reason to refuse.The two of them spun around the dance floor, and Caleb even gestured toward his brother.Caleb knew that Cillian wanted to be left alone, and when he saw the annoying princess insisting on dancing with Cillian, he had to come to his rescue.Bedtime stories typically ended once everyone was happily dancing away, but it was not over yet for them.Chelsea grabbed Hugh to sneak in and find Lucy, but Hugh only wanted to dance with her.“Chelsea, don’t you see how romantic

At most, there were just a few young men and women and fewer elders in the inner hall. It would not be easy for outsiders to blend in. All of this was for the sake of Lucy’s safety.Soon, the ball came to an end.It may have been a pleasant evening for some, but for others, it was an evening of sadness, boredom, or even jealousy.The commoners satisfiedly left with their gifts, while the nobles bade their farewells.Cillian dared not greet Lucy, so he simply bid farewell to Arthur and Juliana before leaving.Lucy had actually noticed him long ago, but she said nothing as she watched him depart.As night fell, Arthur and Juliana suggested that Lucy and Matthew stay in the palace for the night. They would send them back the next day.Since Lucy’s bedroom was already neatly prepared, the couple agreed.On the way back to Lucy’s room, the maids presented Lucy with the seal and scroll of her fief, along with a box containing the crown and scepter.Since everyone was tired, no one b

Lucy could not wait to share the good news with Matthew, but when she turned around, she saw two streaks of blood underneath Matthew’s prominent nose.“Matt, why is your nose bleeding all of a sudden? Did you have too much to drink last night? Do you need me to help you blow off some steam?”Lucy looked at Matthew with concern, but Matthew raised an eyebrow when she suggested helping him 'blow off some steam'. Lucy instantly understood what he was thinking, and her face flushed red instantly. This damned guy! That was not what she meant by 'blow off steam'.“No need. I just need some tissues. The next time you stand up, try to remember that your husband is right behind you.”Matthew looked at Lucy amusingly. Only then did Lucy realize that she had caused Matthew’s nosebleed.Feeling guilty, Lucy quickly fetched a tissue and apologized profusely, “I’m sorry, Matt. I’m so sorry. Don’t get mad, please. I just got excited when I heard that Chelsea was here to see me. I’ll be more ca

"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.

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
