The title was not just in name. There were plenty of benefits that came with it.
An honorary mayor would receive 1% of their fief’s income, and they had the authority to make decisions on how their fief was managed and developed.
The title and fief were not to be belittled at all. Take Theodore, for example. His fief was located near Charleston’s capital and was a second-tier city that was flourishing called Kandis.
One percent of Kandis’ annual profit garnered Theodore billions on a yearly basis.
Charlotte’s fief was slightly under par. Her city was covered with flowers, and even though its development was not as great, she was still able to earn 700 to 800 million annually.
However, the more power one had, the heavier one's responsibility.
Most of the businesses within Charleston were operated by the royal family. The princesses and princes who had been bestowed a fief would need to be responsible for the livelihoods of the citizens living on their lands.
Both princes and princesses had the right to inherit the throne in Charleston despite the princes being given first consideration.
When there was no prince or when a prince was unable to take up the responsibility, a princess would be able to prove her worth by managing her fief well as this was something that her country’s loyal subjects would be able to witness.
That was why even though Lucy was already of age, she still needed to have her coronation ceremony.
It was not only to acknowledge her identity but to also acknowledge her right to the throne as a princess.
This was one of the reasons why Charlotte was trying everything in her power to destroy Lucy.
Lucy was finally done being wrapped under layers and layers of clothes and accessories. There was about six to eight pounds of weight crushing her.
When she was ready, she walked toward the side hall where the internal meeting was held with the help of the helpers.
It was bustling outside, and she could vaguely hear Arthur speaking.
