Chapter 207
In the faraway royal palace of Charleston, the family was having their long-awaited annual gathering. Everyone at the table was having a good time. However, something was not quite right. Sitting at the head of the table, the queen was robotically cutting her steak and absentmindedly stuffing it into her mouth. Her gaze was unfocused as she was lost in thought.
The king noticed that the queen was distracted, so he asked with concern, "My dear, what's wrong? You seem preoccupied today."
The queen snapped out of her reverie and smiled at her husband. She shook her head and said, "Nothing's wrong, my dear. I was just informed a moment ago that our precious little princess has been found. I believe that she'll be brought back very soon."
She lowered her head, her eyes filled with infinite anticipation. "I wonder what kind of personality our little princess has. Will she be as adorable as Charlotte? Just thinking about it makes me so excited."
The king shook his head helplessly and looked at his queen dotingly, "Oh, you, don't worry. Our little princess is our own flesh and blood, so her personality must be as delightful as one can be. I'm sure she'll be the most adorable little girl. You'll see once we bring her back.
"By the way, have you thought of a name for our little girl? I've already come up with one."
The queen's face lit up after hearing that. "Really? What name have you chosen for our little princess, dear?"
The king playfully winked at his queen like an immature young boy. "What do you think of Velda?"
The queen chuckled, her eyes squinting with amusement.
"Velda. It may sound like a masculine name, but it has a beautiful meaning-regaining lost treasure."
"You're so thoughtful."
The king laughed heartily. "Our little princess has gone through so much in the outside world, so it's only right that we give her the best."
Meanwhile, Charlotte was stabbing her knife into her steak even more forcefully. If the princess was brought back here, there would be no place left in the royal family for her.

Although the princess was seething with anger, she still maintained her outward composure. She suddenly had a pleasant thought, which calmed her down. 'So what if Mom and Dad are looking forward to your return? Even if they've thought of the best name for you, there's no use for it because you're no longer in this world. No one can threaten me anymore.'
A genuine smile spread across Charlotte's face. Queen Juliana noticed Charlotte's expression, so she beamed at her and said, “Charlotte, are you looking forward to your little sister's return too?"
Charlotte responded with a gentle smile, “Of course, I'd welcome her with open arms. But isn't she supposed to be my older sister?"
She tilted her head in confusion.
Juliana found her gesture adorable. "Well, she's supposed to be older than you, but we thought it would be better for her to be your younger sister. Besides, if the people found out about the sudden change of crown princess, it would cause an uproar."
Charlotte smiled gracefully. "I'll be nice to my sister."
Deep down, she was filled with disdain. The only reason they decided not to make that witch the second princess was that they did not want to upset the civilians. Great!Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Little did Charlotte know, that was not Juliana's intention at all.
Although Charlotte was not biologically related to the royal family, she had been with them for so long that Juliana did not want to break Charlotte's heart by stripping her of her title. She could not let her child feel insecure.
