Chapter 341
Due to what she said, Charlotte's punishment was just being grounded for half a month. However, it could have been worse...
"You know you did wrong, so just reflect on it, okay? Half a month will fly by. Why did you lie to me?"
Juliana was still upset about Charlotte yelling at the maids and was not convinced by Charlotte's excuses.
Charlotte thought hard and then had a great idea. Crying, she said, "Mom, you don't understand how hard it's been. I've only been grounded for two days, and the maids are already treating me badly. They don't even respect me as the crown princess anymore."
Charlotte blamed everything on the maids, and Juliana got really mad.
"You're my daughter. How could they treat you like that?"
Juliana was moved by Charlotte's words, so Charlotte kept going, "I was so mad, that's why I yelled at them. Mom, please talk to my brother for me. Today's your birthday and my sister's big day. I'm the crown princess. I have to be there, right?
"What will the ministers and the people think if I'm not there? Just for today, let me go to the party.
"I'm thinking about our family's image. After today, I'll even stay grounded longer if I have to. Mom, please take me with you. I can't stand being treated badly by them anymore."
Charlotte's words really got to Juliana. It was true. The princess had always been part of big celebrations.
If the ministers heard about that, it would not look good.
"Alright, come with me."
Juliana finally agreed to take Charlotte to the ball, and Charlotte was so happy she could not stop hugging Juliana's hand and thanking her.
"I just knew you were the best, Mom. Thank you so much!"Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
They went together to the inner hall. When Theodore saw Charlotte, he looked worried, but Lucy did not say anything.
"Mom, didn't you promise me? Why did you bring Charlotte anyway?"
Theodore asked, his eyebrows knitting together. Juliana suddenly remembered what she had promised Theodore and felt a little bad.
"Do you really not like me that much, Theodore? Don't be mad at Mom. I begged her to bring me," Charlotte said, her eyes brimming with tears. Juliana's heart softened, and she quickly said, "Just for today, let her stay for the ball. After that, I'll let her reflect in her room. Theodore, Charlotte really is sorry."
"Don't talk to me about it, Mom. Charlotte hurt Velda. She should be saying sorry to Velda, not me."
Theodore said that calmly. Charlotte, feeling brave, walked straight up to Lucy and gave a deep bow.
Lucy's forehead showed she was
upset as she stepped back from Charlotte's bow. She knew Theodore was trying to help, but she really did not want any more trouble with Charlotte.
"Charlotte, why are you doing this? You're making things hard for me."
Lucy forced a smile as Charlotte hesitantly stood up with tears in her eyes. "I know I've been unfair to you, but I really understand my mistake now. Please, Lucy, have a heart and let me go to tonight's dance."
Lucy almost rolled her eyes.
Charlotte had already found a way to
sneak out, so it did not matter
whether Lucy agreed or not. Now,
she was making a big show of
in
front of Lucy as if Lucy was the one being unkind.
"Charlotte, don't say that. You can go to the dance whenever you want."
