Matthew was ready to politely decline for Lucy, but she responded to the maid with a warm smile, "I got it. Tell my sister I'll be right there."
Lucy knew her parents' greatest wish was for her to bond with Charlotte as true sisters.
With her parents treating her so kindly, refusing an invitation from Charlotte herself just did not seem right.
"Of course, Second Princess."
The maid nodded and backed out of the room, leaving Matthew to eye Lucy with a hint of disapproval. "Lucy, why on earth did you say yes? What if Charlotte's planning something sinister in her own quarters?" Matthew's concern creased his forehead. He was not one to cry wolf without reason. He had a habit of expecting the worst in people.
Lucy shook her head, a gentle smile on her face. "Oh, Matthew, you're worrying too much. We're in the royal palace, for heaven's sake. Charlotte wouldn't dare tarnish her image with our folks watching. "And let's be honest, we're only guessing her intentions. She invited me for tea, nothing more. It'd be downright impolite to refuse."
Lucy's words were meant to soothe, but Matthew's worry lingered. She pressed on, "Look, if it'll ease your mind, just mail the letter and then swing by to pick me up, okay?"
She tugged at his arm playfully, and with a heavy sigh, Matthew gave in. "Alright. Then, wait for me. I'll be back before you know it."
"Promise!" Lucy beamed, nodding eagerly. Matthew handed her the envelope, ruffled her hair affectionately, and strode off.
