Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 354

At most, there were just a few young men and women and fewer elders in the inner hall. It would not be easy for outsiders to blend in. All of this was for the sake of Lucy’s safety.

Soon, the ball came to an end.

It may have been a pleasant evening for some, but for others, it was an evening of sadness, boredom, or even jealousy.

The commoners satisfiedly left with their gifts, while the nobles bade their farewells.

Cillian dared not greet Lucy, so he simply bid farewell to Arthur and Juliana before leaving.

Lucy had actually noticed him long ago, but she said nothing as she watched him depart.

As night fell, Arthur and Juliana suggested that Lucy and Matthew stay in the palace for the night. They would send them back the next day.

Since Lucy’s bedroom was already neatly prepared, the couple agreed.

On the way back to Lucy’s room, the maids presented Lucy with the seal and scroll of her fief, along with a box containing the crown and scepter.

Since everyone was tired, no one bothered to open the box. Meanwhile, Charlotte watched the couple leave with a knowing smile.

‘Oh, Lucy. How I wish to see the look on your face when you open the box. When Mom and Dad find out that you didn’t cherish the crown they gifted you and carelessly damaged it, I wonder how they’ll feel?’ Charlotte thought.

With a smug smile, Charlotte walked back to her own bedroom without looking back.

The next day, everyone enjoyed a rare sleep-in, skipping breakfast.

It was because of the alcohol they consumed last night that gave them hangovers. Even the helpers were given half a day off.

After they finally got up, the maids reported that there was a young couple outside the palace gates claiming to be friends of Lucy.
