"Velda must be feeling unsettled but you weren't able to investigate this thoroughly. You let things be in a hurried manner. She must be extremely upset. She probably even feels that someone in the palace wants to harm her. That's why she was in a hurry to move out."

Theodore intelligently pointed to the crux of the situation. He even guessed the reason for Lucy's move.

Arthur and Juliana were astonished to hear Theodore's analysis.

"But... Charlotte is the one Velda is suspicious of. Both of them are your sisters. How are we supposed to continue investigating this? I refuse to believe that Charlotte would want to hurt Velda." "Charlotte has been feeling sad about this the past few days. If... If Velda..."

Juliana stammered as she tried to help explain things on behalf of Charlotte. The words Charlotte had said during her temper had actually popped up in her mind.

Theodore looked at Juliana incredulously and said something that woke her up.

"What are you talking about, Mom? Velda is the victim. Whatever happened was full of suspicious details. I refuse to believe that Velda would try to hurt Charlotte.

"If both of you aren't willing to do anything about this, I'll investigate it. I'll make sure to find out the truth. I won't allow the culprit to get away with this no matter who they are!"

Theodore left Arthur and Juliana's bedroom without hesitation after that.
