"What hurtful words are you referring to?"
Taken aback by Lucy's response, Charlotte hesitated for a moment before smiling and saying, "T-The part where you accused me of accusing you..."
As Charlotte spoke, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Apologizing to Lucy meant acknowledging that she misunderstood Lucy, which also meant that she would be indirectly admitting that she had intended to harm Lucy.
W-What was happening? Why did she feel like something was off?
Charlotte found herself in a dilemma, but Lucy just chuckled and said, "Are you playing some kind of tongue twister game? You're confusing me. "Anyway, no matter what you did, I forgive you. You're the king and queen's daughter, after all.”
Lucy brushed off the issue from yesterday. Regardless of what Charlotte said, in Lucy's mind, she took it as an apology for hiring an assassin to kill her.
Her temporary forgiveness was also out of respect for Arthur and Juliana.
After breakfast, Matthew and Lucy returned to the room to prepare for the move.
There was not much to pack as they did not have many belongings in the palace.
Daily necessities were already prepared at Matthew's castle, so Lucy only took a photo of her with Arthur and Juliana as well as the pillow she used to sleep on in the palace. She had left everything else untouched.
Meanwhile, Juliana was complaining to Arthur in their room about why he did not try harder to persuade Lucy to stay.
"Velda must be disappointed in us. How could you just agree to let her move out as soon as she brought it up? You even asked her when she was leaving. You owe me my Velda."
Juliana pounded on Arthur's shoulder in frustration. Arthur felt helpless too. It was not like he forced Velda to leave. It was her decision, so why was he to blame?
"Enough. They said that Matthew's

It was a simple matter to resolve. Juliana had no idea why she felt so conflicted about it either.
She could not shake off the feeling that she had done something to upset Velda, leaving her feeling indebted to her daughter.
However, it was too late to change anything now. Lucy and Matthew were leaving that afternoon.
Out of worry, Arthur and Juliana insisted on accompanying them to Matthew's house to see it for themselves.
Seeing this, Charlotte wanted to join them too, but Lucy stopped her.
"I think it's better if you stay here, Charlotte. There's so much to take care of in the palace, and it needs someone in charge.
Indeed, the palace was bustling with tasks every day, and Juliana's
presence was crucial. If she wol

there the princess naturally had to be in charge.
"Yes, Charlotte. You should stay in the palace and oversee things. It's time for you to learn how to manage the palace."
Arthur agreed with Lucy's suggestion.
However, Charlotte felt aggrieved
after hearing Lucy's words. She turned to Lucy and said, "Is it
e
because you're still holding a grudge against me, so you don't want me to visit your home?"
Lucy smiled awkwardly and replied, "How could you think that? I'm just worried that no one will be here to take care of the palace.
"If you really want to come with us, you'd be more than welcome, but either Mom or Dad would have to stay back in the palace.”
It was said that one had to fight fire with fire, so Lucy copied Charlotte's tone. Naturally, Arthur and Juliana were unhappy.
