"Lucy, what do you mean by that? Are you implying that me being here bothers you?"

Charlotte wore a look of incredulity, but inside, she was delighted.

She had been struggling to make Lucy act out. Now, she had the perfect opportunity to make Lucy accuse her for no apparent reason because of an outsider. This time, she was confident she could turn the tables on Lucy. 'Let's see how Lucy is going to handle this now!' she thought.

"If you still don't get it, let me put it bluntly. What I'm trying to say is..."

Lucy did not care anymore and was ready to confront Charlotte directly until Matthew interrupted her calmly.

"What my wife means is, Princess Charlotte, aren't you supposed to be grounded? Has Prince Theodore ordered the lifting of your confinement? Because we weren't informed about it."

Charlotte, who was still acting a moment ago, was now frozen in place.

Lucy initially intended to confront Charlotte directly and defend Chelsea, but after listening to Matthew's words, she snapped out of it. She changed her tone to say, "Yes, that's right. Has our brother lifted your confinement? I'll have to ask our mother about this." Lucy admired Matthew's quick thinking. If she had lashed out at Charlotte earlier, she and Chelsea would have ended up at a disadvantage.

Charlotte was an expert at playing the victim, so confronting her this way would help them not only defend Chelsea but also prevent Charlotte from accusing them of bullying.

Faced with Matthew and Lucy's questions, Charlotte was momentarily at a loss for words.
