Lucy entered Charlotte's room with a smile.

Charlotte immediately suppressed all her emotions and greeted Lucy with a smile, "I didn't wait long. You came at just the right time, Lucy. Please, have a seat. The refreshments the helpers prepared today are delicious."

Charlotte gestured for Lucy to sit down, and without dilly-dallying, Lucy naturally took a seat.

"You didn't just invite me over for tea, right? You must have something you want to discuss with me," Lucy said straightforwardly as she sat down, cutting to the chase about why Charlotte summoned her. Charlotte stared deep into her eyes before smiling all of a sudden. "You're quite clever, Lucy. I wanted to invite you to accompany me out of the palace for some shopping."

Shopping?

Charlotte wanted to take her shopping?

Lucy looked at Charlotte with confusion, so she hurriedly explained, "Whenever I leave the palace, I have to be accompanied by many guards and helpers. I find it so annoying, so I always secretly sneak out. Now that you're here, we can go together."

In reality, she had previously discussed with Alice about luring Lucy out to give Alice's people a chance to attack.

That was why she was inviting Lucy to go shopping with her. Not to mention, Arthur and Juliana's favoritism toward Lucy only made Charlotte feel more threatened.
