Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 350

Hearing Charlotte's words, the ceremony officer felt a warm glow in his heart and quickly said, "Oh no, Your Highness. Don't worry, the crown is perfectly fine."

"Really? Are you taking the crown to the back room?" Charlotte asked with a smile. The officer did not think twice and nodded.

"Yes, Crown Princess."

"Alright then, be careful with it. That crown is my sister's, and we wouldn't want any sneaky thief getting their hands on it."

Charlotte seemed to be hinting at something, but the officer just thought she was looking out for him and chuckled. "You're funny, Your Highness. There are no thieves in the palace."

"Of course, you're right. Off you go, then."

Charlotte waved her hand, and the officer bowed and left. The crowd around them kept up their lively chatter.

Charlotte glanced around. Seeing no one was watching, she followed the officer toward the back room.

Juliana and Lucy held the knife together and made a ceremonial cut in the cake, marking the end of the ritual.

"Happy birthday to the queen! Wishing you bountiful blessings…"

The cheers continued as the cake was taken away to be cut into pieces and shared with the people outside. Everyone hoped to get a piece to join in the happiness, though it was unclear if there would be enough for all.

Annabella, the future princess consort, was the first to step up. She held out two boxes.

"Your Majesty, I've prepared these birthday and coronation gifts just for you and Princess Velda. They're simple, but I hope you both like them."

She lifted the lid of the boxes, revealing an ivory comb in one and a smooth, shiny pearl as big as a pigeon's egg in the other.
