FreeNovel"Our Princess Charlotte is such a good girl. Don't worry, in my heart, you're equally as important as Velda," Juliana said lovingly.
Lucy nodded in agreement, not sensing anything amiss.
Charlotte maintained a meek demeanor, but she was cursing inwardly, 'What do you mean equal? It's all fake, a lie. Mom's heart is clearly biased now. How could Lucy be on the slevel aswhen I've been raised by the royal family for over two decades? "Yet, they say they're not biased. Damn all of them!' After breakfast, they started discussing state affairs.
Being new to all of this, Lucy quietly listened without interjecting.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was somewhat surprised to learn that Charleston was different from other nations as the king and queen were personally involved in commerce.
Speaking of commerce, Lucy could not help but think of Matthew.
Despite not remembering their past memories together, she always found herself thinking of him.
He said that he was coming to Charleston, but could he even enter the royal palace? Should she think of a way to meet him first? Lucy pondered over these trivial matters, forgetting how awesher husband was.
She did not know that with Matthew's status, all he had to do was inform them to gain entry into the royal palace.
While Lucy was pondering, she heard her parents talking about her.
"Now that Velda has returned, I think we should issue a decree tomorrow to inform our citizens so that we can share this joy with everyone," Arthur proposed.
Juliana and Theodore agreed wholeheartedly, but Charlotte's heart tightened.
That could not happen. If they announced it to the citizens, she would turn into a laughingstock! "But we just held a grand funeral for the little princess a few days ago. What would people think now that another princess appeared out of nowhere? What if people question her identity?" Charlotte raised her concerns in a cute tone. She sounded to be genuinely concerned about Lucy.
Arthur and Juliana fell silent. They indeed just had a funeral two days ago when they thought that Velda had passed away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWould making this announcement to the people now imply that their little princess had only been presumed dead? "I don't think that'll be a problem. By then, as long as my sister makes a public appearance, it'll be enough proof of her identity." Theodore smiled lightly as he spoke, sounding very reasonable. Lucy's face alone was convincing enough.
Charlotte's face turned pale, but under the pressure of the moment, she could only force a smile and agree.
"Yes, I must be overthinking. My sister and brother look exactly like Mom. Anyone would think that you're related," she said with a strained tone but did not give away her true feelings. Just as the decision was made, Lucy could not help but speak up, "Dad, Mom, I... I don't want to show myself to the public yet..." What? Arthur, Juliana, and Theodore were confused as to why she refused.
Now that Lucy had been found, her identity had to be announced to the public. She had to go through am coronation ceremony to becthe NO true princess of Charleston. Why would she refuse? Seeing their puzzled expressions, Lucy smiled and explained, "I understand your intentions, but finding you is fulfilling enough for me.
"Besides, Mom already knows this, but I faked my death to escape from the people who tried to kill me. I'm afraid to announce that I'm still alive when those people haven't been caught yet."
