StarNovelLucy entered Charlotte's room with a smile.
Charlotte immediately suppressed all her emotions and greeted Lucy with a smile, "I didn't wait long. You cat just the right time, Lucy. Please, have a seat. The refreshments the helpers prepared today are delicious." Charlotte gestured for Lucy to sit down, and without dilly-dallying, Lucy naturally took a seat.
"You didn't just inviteover for tea, right? You must have something you want to discuss with me," Lucy said straightforwardly as she sat down, cutting to the chase about why Charlotte summoned her. Charlotte stared deep into her eyes before smiling all of a sudden. "You're quite clever, Lucy. I wanted to invite you to accompanyout of the palace for sshopping." Shopping? Charlotte wanted to take her shopping? Lucy looked at Charlotte with confusion, so she hurriedly explained, "Whenever I leave the palace, I have to be accompanied by many guards and helpers. I find it so annoying, so I always secretly sneak out. Now that you're here, we can go together." In reality, she had previously discussed with Alice about luring Lucy out to give Alice's people a chance to attack. That was why she was inviting Lucy to go shopping with her. Not to mention, Arthur and Juliana's favoritism toward Lucy only made Charlotte feel more threatened.

Matthew had warned her to be cautious about anything involving Charlotte.
Being aware of that, Lucy had already built a protective wall around herself against Charlotte. She was not keen on going out with her.
Just as she was about to find an excuse to turn her down, Charlotte noticed her hesitation and immediately grabbed her hand. "Con, cwith me! I've always been the only princess in the palace, so I never had anyone to go shopping with. "Now that Mom and Dad have brought you back, I finally have a trusted companion to have fun with.
"You have no idea how happy I am! I really want to go shopping. Promiseyou'll cwith me, please?" Charlotte kept shaking Lucy's arm while pleading with a fake pout.
To convince Lucy, Charlotte was really pushing herself. Lucy had never seen anyone behave like this before, and she felt a headache coming on.
If Charlotte were to force her or insist, she could still find a way to refuse. However, with all this pouting and pleading going on, she felt powerless.
It was just shopping anyway. With so many people on the streets, Charlotte could not possibly do anything to her. After much deliberation, Lucy was about to agree when Matthew arrived.

He lightly knocked on the door, 'e'
pretending to be completely unaware as he said to Charlotte, sorry m Princess Charlotte. Xjust found out that my wife is here having tea with you. I hope I'm not interrupting."
His demeanor was polite, so Charlotte could not fault him for anything. She just smiled and said, "No, not at all. Why don't you cin? Don't just stand at the door." Her smile was flawless, masking her disdain toward Matthew.
Her initial plan was to create misunderstandings between Matthew and Lucy to make tom suffer, but ever since she met Cillian and fell in love with him at first sight, she abandoned that idea. No matter how she did it, as long as she got rid of Lucy, it would all end the sanyway.
