Hearing Charlotte's words, the ceremony officer felt a warm glow in his heart and quickly said, "Oh no, Your Highness. Don't worry, the crown is perfectly fine."

"Really? Are you taking the crown to the back room?" Charlotte asked with a smile. The officer did not think twice and nodded.

"Yes, Crown Princess."

"Alright then, be careful with it. That crown is my sister's, and we wouldn't want any sneaky thief getting their hands on it."

Charlotte seemed to be hinting at something, but the officer just thought she was looking out for him and chuckled. "You're funny, Your Highness. There are no thieves in the palace." "Of course, you're right. Off you go, then."

Charlotte waved her hand, and the officer bowed and left. The crowd around them kept up their lively chatter.

Charlotte glanced around. Seeing no one was watching, she followed the officer toward the back room.
