The next day was two days after Lucy was nearly assassinated a second time. Theodore had just returned from inspecting his fief.
Arthur, Juliana, and Charlotte welcomed him back to the palace. Theodore immediately greeted Arthur and Juliana with a bow.
“Greetings, Mom and Dad.”
“You may stand. Did you learn anything from your inspection? You didn’t meet with any danger, did you?”
Juliana lifted her hand slightly. Theodore stood up and said with a smile, “No, I didn’t. I didn’t meet with any danger. Augustus accompanied me there, and we learned a lot from this trip.”
“That’s good to hear.”
Arthur and Juliana were happy to see Theodore return safely. Charlotte smiled and went forward to greet Theodore.
“Did you get anything nice this time, Theodore? Don’t forget the present you promised me,” she said sweetly.
Theodore rubbed her and smiled as he said, “I wouldn’t forget it. I’ve got presents for both you and Velda. Although, where’s Velda? Why haven’t I seen her?”
Charlotte looked a little awkward when Theodore mentioned Velda.
Arthur smiled and explained to Theodore, “Velda moved out two days ago. We didn’t manage to tell her about your return, but it’s fine. You can come along with us this afternoon to visit her home. Your mother and I miss her.”
Theodore could not accept this explanation. Why would she suddenly move out for no reason?
“Why would she suddenly move out? Wasn't she fine with staying in the palace?”
