"Only Matthew might have the answer to that," Hugh said, rubbing his chin and thinking hard.
On the big screen, the grand duke continued to say, "Let's all wish the queen a very happy birthday. And now, let's welcome today's other star, Princess Velda!"
The grand duke's voice was full of excitement, and as he finished speaking, a beautiful, calming piano tune began to play.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the staircase, but instead, two bright spotlights shone into the air.
A grand swing, covered in blossoming branches and giant golden feathers, gently floated down.
On it stood two figures in their finest attire, Theodore and Lucy.
Feathers from swans drifted down from above as Lucy, in a white princess gown and a golden crown, gazed upon the crowd.
The light hit her face, making her shine like a star. The people watching could not help but gasp in awe.
"Wow, is she a fairy? She's so beautiful, I feel a little unworthy in her presence."
"Princess Velda is the most noble and lovely princess in all of Charleston."
"How can she be so gorgeous? It's like a gift from the heavens to Charleston to have such a beautiful princess with us."
Every guest praised Lucy's beauty. Even the noble women who loved to compare themselves felt no urge to do so in front of Lucy.
The looks of wonder and the compliments made Charlotte burn with jealousy.
