Chapter 325
Juliana hoped that Arthur would persuade Lucy not to move out, but Arthur simply looked at Lucy and Matthew before saying, "Once a woman is married, her husband should come first. Since you're already married and your husband seems genuinely devoted to you, I won't stop you from moving out..."
Before he could finish, Juliana angrily interrupted him and said, "Dear, what are you saying?
"We've finally found Velda. We barely got to see her or know her yet. How can she move out so soon? It's dangerous out there. She only managed to escape the assassin yesterday..."
Juliana became somewhat hysterical. Arthur looked at Lucy and Matthew with a hint of helplessness. "Your mother is right. She doesn't want to see you leave, Velda. Why don't you stay in the palace for a while longer?"
Seeing Juliana's reluctance, Arthur wavered, and so did Lucy.
If she insisted on moving out despite her mother's opposition, would that make her a bad daughter?
While she was hesitating, Matthew cleared his throat and assured them, "Dad, Mom, don't worry about Lulu. With me here, I'll ensure her safety no matter what.
“Besides, Lulu is married now. She can't stay in the palace forever. If you really want to see her, you can visit her anytime, or we can come visit you as well."
Matthew insisted, reminding Lucy of what he said to her last night.
Looking at Charlotte, who was sitting across from her, Lucy felt increasingly uncomfortable. She did not want to stay in the same place as Charlotte any longer.
"He's right. I can't stay in the palace forever."
Despite Arthur and Juliana's efforts to dissuade them, the couple remained determined to move out. In the end, they had no choice but to agree. “Alright then. When do you plan to move?" Arthur asked with a sigh.
Lucy smiled and answered, "We'll move this afternoon. Matthew is busy with work, so if we move earlier, it won't interfere with his work."
W-What? This afternoon? Why were

exclaimed anxiously, "Isn't that too rushed? Why don't you move out in a couple of days, after the coronation ceremony? It wouldn't be too late then either.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Juliana still hoped to keep Lucy for a few more days. Since the coronation ceremony was still a week away, it would be nice to have Lucy stay a little longer.
However, Lucy still insisted, "Mom,
you don't need to worry. Our new place is very close to the palace, so it won't take much time to move. I can just visit you on the day of the coronation ceremony." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Lucy remained firm despite Juliana's persuasion, leaving Juliana without much of an appetite.
Upon hearing the news of Lucy's departure, Charlotte could not contain her joy. Finally, that annoying woman was leaving! The palace would be hers alone.
Haha! Lucy must have been scared, so she decided to retreat like a coward.
While Charlotte was feeling pleased with herself, Lucy suddenly said, By the way, I noticed that you wanted to say something to me earlier Charlotte. Why don't you tell me now?" Content belongs to NovelDrama.OrgContent from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Lucy's words caught Charlotte off guard, but considering the fact that Lucy would be moving out soon, her initial shame and reluctance vanished. She immediately spoke.
"I wanted to apologize to you for what happened yesterday. I was wrong to say hurtful things to you, and Mom has already scolded me for it. I'm sorry, so please forgive me."
