Chapter 333
The next day was two days after Lucy was nearly assassinated a second time. Theodore had just returned from inspecting his fief. Arthur, Juliana, and Charlotte welcomed him back to the palace. Theodore immediately greeted Arthur and Juliana with a bow.
"Greetings, Mom and Dad."
"You may stand. Did you learn anything from your inspection? You didn't meet with any danger, did you?"
Juliana lifted her hand slightly. Theodore stood up and said with a smile, "No, I didn't. I didn't meet with any danger. Augustus accompanied me there, and we learned a lot from this trip."
"That's good to hear."
Arthur and Juliana were happy to see Theodore return safely. Charlotte smiled and went forward to greet Theodore.
"Did you get anything nice this time, Theodore? Don't forget the present you promised me," she said sweetly.
Theodore rubbed her and smiled as he said, "I wouldn't forget it. I've got presents for both you and Velda. Although, where's Velda? Why haven't I seen her?"
Charlotte looked a little awkward when Theodore mentioned Velda.
Arthur smiled and explained to Theodore, "Velda moved out two days ago. We didn't manage to tell her about your return, but it's fine. You can come along with us this afternoon to visit her home. Your mother and I miss her."
Theodore could not accept this explanation. Why would she suddenly move out for no reason?
"Why would she suddenly move out? Wasn't she fine with staying in the palace?"

"She insisted on moving out with Matthew Leon. Even Mom and Dad couldn't convince her to stay.
"I heard that Velda is staying somewhere near the palace. Mom and Dad have been there to visit. If we miss Velda, we can visit her at any time."

anything further. He smiled and said,
"I see. Now that I think about it, Velda is sight. Our Velda is married, after all. She can't be living at home her entire life. People might say we're being too stubborn about things." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Theodore was concerned for Lucy in every aspect. He did not think that Lucy moving out was difficult to accept.
However, Charlotte felt upset to see Arthur and Juliana planning to take him to see Lucy the moment he returned.
She did not want others to be happy if she was unhappy. When Theodore came by her bedroom to bring her gift, Charlotte began to scheme again. "Thanks, Theodore. You're the best. Actually, there's something I want to tell you..."
Charlotte hugged her present and looked innocently at Theodore.
He burst out with a laugh and asked curiously, “Can't you tell me about it directly? Why are you stammering?"
“It's nothing. Actually, I'm just wondering if I should tell you this.
"Mom and Dad told me not to tell you about it because they said what's over is over. Even if I told you about it, I'd just be making an extra person worry."
