Chapter 447
Charlotte was still a princess of the Charleston royal family. Even though Lucy was her equal, Charlotte had been a princess for so long and had earned enough respect. If Lucy did what Yitty did and fought with Charlotte every time she was challenged, what would happen to the royal family's reputation?
That was Lucy's biggest concern.
She was always polite, hardworking, and patient. However, she had her limits, and she was not someone who could be pushed around easily.
Maybe Charlotte saw Lucy's patience and reluctance to confront her as weaknesses and kept causing trouble for her.
Even the smallest things became a battle.
Lucy's gentle nature only made Charlotte dislike her more.
Yitty ate the last slice of cake on her plate, quietly set it down, and dusted off her hands as she turned to Lucy.
"Do you know why Charlotte is so set on kicking you out of the Charleston palace?"
"She thinks that way?"
"Oh, my sweet Lucy, you're just too innocent!" A spark of realization flickered in Lucy's mind, and she seemed to grasp what Yitty meant.
Why was Charlotte so mean to her? It was clear that Charlotte was bitter and wanted Lucy gone from the Charleston palace. Charlotte had once been the rightful princess there, respected and admired by everyone.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Everyone in Charleston knew about her princess status.
"You probably know better than me what it means to be the rightful princess. It's the ultimate honor, a position everyone looks up to. A truly pure-hearted person wouldn't be easily swayed by greed, but Charlotte is different.

"You know her better than anyone and what she's really like. What do you think she'd do if someone tried to take her place, especially after she's been there for so long?"
Lucy thought hard, imagining the end of their story.
If things were as Yitty said, then maybe they would find the answers to everything much sooner.
"You've probably guessed the ending by now, haven't you? You're really smart, but why didn't you see this coming? It's because you're not tough enough, and you keep letting Charlotte off the hook for a reason.

"You've been holding back to protect the Charleston royal family's reputation. But let me give you a friendly warning-Charlotte is the type of person who will stop at nothing. She's capable of doing
things without any sense of right or wrong. Do you get what I'm saying?"
Lucy's lips quivered with a grateful smile as she replied, "I get it now, Yitty. Thanks a lot."
She had always been cautious around Charlotte, only ever clashing with her in words. However, Yitty's words made her see that if Charlotte felt too cornered, she might bounce back in the most unexpected ways.
Yitty brushed off some cake crumbs from her fingers. "There are lots of infamous assassin groups around here. They've been keeping a low profile these past few years, but some have started to stir again... Lucy, you need to watch out for this."
Lucy pondered for a moment before suggesting, "How about you be the one to protect me?"
