Juliana hoped that Arthur would persuade Lucy not to move out, but Arthur simply looked at Lucy and Matthew before saying, “Once a woman is married, her husband should come first. Since you’re already married and your husband seems genuinely devoted to you, I won’t stop you from moving out…”
Before he could finish, Juliana angrily interrupted him and said, “Dear, what are you saying?
“We've finally found Velda. We barely got to see her or know her yet. How can she move out so soon? It’s dangerous out there. She only managed to escape the assassin yesterday…”
Juliana became somewhat hysterical. Arthur looked at Lucy and Matthew with a hint of helplessness. “Your mother is right. She doesn’t want to see you leave, Velda. Why don’t you stay in the palace for a while longer?”
Seeing Juliana’s reluctance, Arthur wavered, and so did Lucy.
If she insisted on moving out despite her mother’s opposition, would that make her a bad daughter?
While she was hesitating, Matthew cleared his throat and assured them, “Dad, Mom, don’t worry about Lulu. With me here, I’ll ensure her safety no matter what.
“Besides, Lulu is married now. She can’t stay in the palace forever. If you really want to see her, you can visit her anytime, or we can come visit you as well.”
Matthew insisted, reminding Lucy of what he said to her last night.
Looking at Charlotte, who was sitting across from her, Lucy felt increasingly uncomfortable. She did not want to stay in the same place as Charlotte any longer.
“He’s right. I can’t stay in the palace forever.”
