Charlotte even thought that once she was done with Lucy, she would look for Cillian and get together with him, but that was beside the point...

Once Matthew entered the room, Lucy felt like her savior was here. With a smile, she stood up and walked to Matthew's side. She wrapped her arm around his. "Matt, you came at the right time. My sister was just inviting me to leave the palace to do some shopping."

She briefly explained the situation to Matthew, who nodded understandingly and smiled. "I see. Would you like to go, wifey?"

"Since my sister invited me, of course, I want to go with her. But carrying bags while shopping is such a hassle...

"Charlotte, why don't we let Matthew come with us? If we're sneaking out, no one will carry our bags for us. We can let Matt do all the labor.

"Matt, would you be willing to be our laborer for the day?"

After saying that, Lucy immediately turned to Matthew. He chuckled lightly and replied, "It would be an honor to be my wife's laborer.

"Besides, my assistant has arrived in Charleston today, so I have some affairs to attend to outside of the palace too."
