"I was wondering if we could wait a bit before announcing it to the people?”
Lucy smiled and voiced her thoughts. Upon hearing that, Arthur and Juliana looked at her with great compassion.
“No, my poor child, you’ve suffered enough. You don’t have to be afraid anymore.”
Juliana embraced Lucy tightly. She could not imagine how much suffering Lucy had gone through.
“Silly girl, your parents are the king and queen, and you’re in the palace. No one can harm you here,” Juliana said.
“Yes, so don’t worry. Just focus on preparing for the coronation ceremony.”
Arthur and Juliana reassured Lucy lovingly, relieving her of any worries.
With that, they decided to make the announcement to the citizens, making Lucy feel at a loss.
Although she was deeply touched by the affection and support she received, she could not help but feel concerned about the assassins.
Even Matthew and Cillian had to be cautious around them, but Arthur and Juliana seemed unconcerned. Was this the power of a supreme ruler?
While they were conversing, a helper hurriedly entered and handed Arthur a golden envelope.
“Your Majesty, there’s a letter of credence for you.”
The helper said while handing it over, causing Arthur to raise an eyebrow in curiosity.
In Charleston, all nobles, dukes, and ministers were required to present letters of credence before meeting Arthur. They needed his permission before they could enter the palace to pay their respects.
However, they did not have any urgent matters going on. Who could possibly be asking for permission to enter the palace this early in the morning?
Arthur opened the letter and frowned. It was from the grand duke, a figure of significant influence in Charleston.
In corporate terms, if Arthur and Juliana were the bosses, the grand duke would be their assistant.
After carefully reading the letter, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the helper, who was waiting for his command.
