"We can't treat Velda badly just to avoid kidnappers from eyeing her. Don't dwell on it, my dear. We'll bring Velda back."

Arthur continued to reassure Juliana, and they supported each other as they left Charlotte's room.

Charlotte sat on her bed, the traces of tears on her face completely gone. Instead, she wore a cunning and triumphant smile.

'Search all you want. Even if you scour the entire country, you'll probably only find Lucy's corpse,' she thought.

When the time came, she would take care of Arthur and Juliana, making her the most filial, cherished, and irreplaceable princess!
