Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love

Remembering the etiquette the palace administrator had taught her that morning, she bowed deeply to Arthur and Juliana. "Greetings, my dearest parents."

However, she was not allowed to stand up straight just yet.

She had to wait until the ceremony was done. Arthur and Juliana sat on their thrones, gazing lovingly at their daughter.

"Velda, you're our beloved treasure, a precious gift from above that was brought to us," Arthur said.

"Now that you're grown up and so lovely, I'm filled with joy. Starting today, you're officially the one and only special little princess of Charleston. However, remember, being a princess means you have duties too..."

Arthur waved his hand, and the ceremony officer, carrying the tray that contained the scroll and the seal, stepped forward. Arthur took the scroll and went on, "Hertfordshire was your mother's fief when she was a princess consort. Today, I'm giving it to you, hoping you'll take good care of it and live up to my and your mother's expectations."

The scroll was Lucy's official appointment, and the seal gave her the power to make decisions for Hertfordshire.

Arthur handed both items to Lucy, and everyone there started whispering excitedly.
