Hugh was totally serious, and Chelsea just laughed. Tease him a little and he would react as if it were all true.
The two of them quickly got used to the idea of Lucy being a princess. It looked like the coronation ceremony was starting on the big screen.
The grand duke was holding a scroll, speaking in the Charleston language that sounded like gibberish to Hugh and Chelsea. Since they could not understand a word, they started whispering to each other instead.
"Do you notice that Lucy doesn't look like she's from around here?" Chelsea was still amazed.
People from Charleston looked similar to them, but they often had brown, gold, or even white hair. They also had deep eyes and tall noses, which made them look different from the Daburineans.
However, Lucy had glossy black hair, bright eyes, and a cute, pointy nose, just like a Daburinean. That was probably why, after all those years with the Quinn family, no one ever doubted who she was.
If it were not for the DNA test Matthew did for Lucy and everything that happened after, Lucy might still be the unnoticed eldest daughter of the Quinn family.
"The queen and the prince have black hair too. Maybe the queen has ancestors from different places, or Lucy has some strange genes," Hugh said thoughtfully, resting his chin on his hand. It was possible, thinking about how genes work.
"Strange genes? Can't you say something nicer, Hugh?" Chelsea frowned at Hugh. Lucy was so sweet. Was Hugh teasing or making fun of her? "Oops... I said it wrong. It's definitely because the queen has ancestors from different places, and Lucy looks like her ancestors." Hugh quickly put up his hands as if to say he gave up. As luck would have it, he was right on the mark.
Lucy was the spitting image of a Daburinean, just like her grandmother and the queen's mother.
As the discussion wound down, the grand duke finished his prayer. He closed his book and turned to face everyone with a serious expression.

"Today is a special day... Princess Velda has been found. She's grown up and ready to help rule the kingdom. So now, I announce the start of the princess' coronation ceremony!"
Right after he spoke, a walkway opened up on the red carpet inside the hall.
An officer, carrying two trays, walked down the carpet, followed by guards with trumpets.

The other tray had a brand-new crown and scepter, made in just a month by skilled crafters.
The crown and scepter sparkled with pink diamonds and were decorated with huge, priceless gems.
The natural blue crystals made them look even more stunning.
"Velda, come here," Arthur called.
Lucy bowed slightly, picked up her dress, and walked to where Arthur and Juliana stood.
With everyone watching, she took a deep breath and stepped forward.
