Chapter 505
As long as two people loved each other, they could overcome any obstacles to be together regardless of whether they were noble, royalty, or nobody. Why worry about these titles?
However, from Annabella's perspective, marrying into royalty was her priority since a union between royalty and nobility would be much more prestigious.
In fact, it was rare for the royal family to marry the daughters of noble families as it was widely known that they often looked down on others because of their wealth.
Of course, it was just a hasty generalization. Not all were like that, though very few were not.
As the royal family of Charleston continued to grow, becoming the world's second-richest family, many nobles became envious of their power. They might seem like they want to work with them on the surface, but they secretly think that the royal family means nothing to them.
This was also one of the reasons why there were so few marriages between the royal family and nobility.
"Theodore, I think as long as two people love each other, it doesn't matter what their status is."
"You're right, but I don't like Annabella at all. I mean it literally. She hasn't done anything to annoy me yet, but everyone knows that forced relationships never end well."
Lucy looked at how Annabella was chatting with Juliana... It seemed this woman did not understand how forced relationships end.
Anyone with eyes could see Theodore's discomfort and awkwardness.
Were Annabella's big round eyes only for show? Why did she keep shooting glances at Theodore when he was visibly uncomfortable?
That was what Lucy thought, but Annabella thought differently.
Annabella chatted happily with Juliana, but her eyes occasionally wandered abserving Theodore's every move. She was full of anticipation at first, but when she saw Theodore and Lucy whispering to each other, she got annoyed. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

She could not help but feel that Lucy was badmouthing her to Theodore. She could tell from Lucy's gaze that she was suspicious of her, and she did not like that at all. ContentText content © NôvelDrama.Org.

To divert Theodore's attention back to herself, Annabella brought the conversation back to the silent Theodore.
"Prince Theodore, I saw on TV that you were the brains behind Charleston's Wine Festival and Fashion Week. I must say, both events were truly outstanding."
Annabella's parents joined in on sucking up to Theodore, praising that both festivals were a breath of fresh air.
Theodore humbly responded, "Actually, the credit goes to the entire team, not just me. My role was merely nominal. The entire royal family deserves the credit."
Theodore's humility earned more
praise from Annabella's parents.

Theodore's modesty. Meeting you in person today, it's clear you're different from the sons of noble families." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org S
Juliana was flattered by the compliments, but they did not have the same effect on Theodore.
