Chapter 507
It seemed like the sole purpose of Annabella and her family's visit today was to form a marriage alliance with the royal family. They wished to use Theodore as a stepping stone to add prestige to their noble lineage.
If Annabella were to find a more influential ally than the royal family of Charleston after getting together with Theodore, would she push Theodore aside?Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
This suspicion might seem far-fetched, but given how she acted, it was not entirely impossible.
Lucy remained disinterested in the small talk with Annabella.
It was off-season, so many flowers in Charleston's royal garden had not yet bloomed.
Lucy had intended to admire the flowers at first, but now, she found herself unsure of what to do. Meanwhile, Annabella continued to ramble on incessantly.
"I heard that Prince Theodore is interested in racing. Is that true? If I recall correctly, it's because of the overwhelming affairs in Charleston that he had to abandon his dream of racing."
Lucy had heard Theodore briefly mention his dream of becoming a race car driver, but because he was the heir to the throne of Charleston, his dream had to be set aside.
Although Theodore had the means to make his dream of becoming a race car driver come true, he did not have the time to pursue it, which turned his dream into a mere fantasy.
Annabella did not sound like she carried ill intentions, so Lucy opened up.
"My brother mentioned it to me before, but because of his duties as the heir, he has little time to pursue his dreams. I'm assisting him with some of Charleston's affairs right now to relieve him of some responsibilities so that he can free up some time."
Lucy was not yet fully versed in
business and many areas were still blind spots for her. However, she diligently worked for the royal family. She thought that there was no harm in learning either. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

She believed that assisting Theodore with some of his public duties would not be that difficult.
"I didn't realize you were so capable," Annabella's tone turned sarcastic again.
At this point, Lucy understood why chatting with Annabella left her so emotionally drained.
Annabella was the type of person to talk non-stop about her own interests while trying to extract every single piece of information the other person had.
As soon as she heard something she did not like, her expression would sour and she would belittle the other person, leaving them at a loss. That was exactly what Ducy was going through. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Dealing with Annabella was more exhausting than spending an entire day with Charlotte.
In the garden, Annabella began to talk about her family, portraying herself as an unloved child.
However, anyone could see through her words as her reputation and noble status in Charleston were well-known.
Everyone in Charleston knew that she was a spoiled aristocratic lady.
