Chapter 9: The Prince's Banquet 1

In the bedroom, the servants were kicked out of the door by Lucas, after Natalie went out, she quietly closed the door, Lucas sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Lydia quietly, Lydia may have dreamed of something terrible, she began to cry, Lucas wiped away her tears in distress, hugged Lydia's cheek with both hands and kissed her forehead gently, feeling Lucas's warmth, Lydia didn't cry for too long and quieted down.

"Let go of me! You can't take me away, I'm a servant of the Lucas family, let it go, I'll sue you! ”

The servant downstairs shouted loudly, Lydia, who had not slept peacefully, furrowed her eyebrows, the corners of her beautiful mouth twitched, and seeing that she was about to be woken up by the servant, Lucas was very angry, which unruly servant is this! He walked to the window and looked down, and below it turned out to be the Duke of Windsor's soldiers escorting his servant, Lucas was surprised,

"Christine, what crime has my servant committed? Where are you going to take him? ”

Christine saw that she was noisy with the owner here, and hurriedly asked people to gag Sawyer's mouth.

"Mr. Lucas, I have taken a servant named Sawa back to the realm on the orders of the Duke."

"What? Has the Duke of Windsor returned to the realm? Did he find Charlotte? ”

"The Duke asked me to bring you a message."

"What did he say?"

"The Duke said that the southern suddenly attacked, and he must rush back to the main battle, and he was sorry that he could not say goodbye to you, and he also said that because of the incident, he had to read a 'novel' ybdu to take Miss Charlotte away, and he would take good care of Miss Charlotte, and hoped that Mr. Lucas would not worry."

"Found Charlotte!? That's great! When I go back, I must express my gratitude in front of the Duke! Thank you so much to him! ”

Christine scratched her head a little embarrassed,

"The Duke also said that he had a lot to say in this letter, and hoped that Mr. Lucas would accept this letter, and that there would be no need to thank him, and that he would come to visit you later."

Christine took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Lucas, the dark blue envelope was heavy in her hand, obviously it was not just stationery, Lucas put away the envelope, and asked suspiciously,

"What does the Duke want Sawyer to do? Take Charlotte's babysitter Kimi away, she's used to using it. ”

"Rest assured, Mr. Lucas, our Duke will find the best servant to take care of Miss Charlotte. This Sawyer was named by the Duke, and I don't know why. ”

"The duke must have his reasons for asking you to take it away, but for the sake of this servant who has served my family for many years, I still have good things to say to him, and I hope you will take care of him more on the road."

Seeing off the Duke of Windsor's soldiers, Lucas hurriedly returned to the bedroom and wanted to tell Lydia the good news, Natalie stopped Lucas and told him that Lydia was still sleeping, Lucas came out with some regret, but he couldn't suppress his surprise and walked to the kitchen to supervise the cooks.

At night, as soon as Lydia woke up, she saw a smiling face with folds,

"Honey, our Charlotte has been found!"

Lydia's confused sleepy eyes suddenly brightened, she looked around and didn't see Charlotte, and said sadly,

"You lied to me, Charlotte? You didn't find it at all! ”

When Lucas heard this, he immediately straightened forward anxiously,

"When have I lied to you, my dear, if you don't believe me, you should believe the Duke of Windsor."

"Did the Duke of Windsor find Charlotte?"

"The war situation in the south is urgent, and the Duke of Windsor has no time to say goodbye, so he has to take Charlotte with him."

Lydia's newly stretched eyebrows furrowed again, and Lucas saw this, and hurriedly comforted his wife,

"Don't worry, my dear, the Duke of Windsor will take good care of her."

A pale promise wasn't enough to put Lydia at ease, she still looked unhappy,

"Honey, show you something."

Lucas curled the corners of his mouth, got up and opened the bottom drawer of the dresser, and took out the dark blue envelope from inside, Lydia took the envelope, not knowing what Lucas meant by giving her a letter,

"You can open it and see it."

Lydia suspiciously opened the unsealed letter, and there was a folded piece of letter inside, and she shook it open and looked at it carefully, only to see that the letter began with the words: Dear Charlotte's parents, look down,

The ring in the envelope is my engagement ring for Charlotte, and I know it's presumptuous, but it's the only thing I can think of that can reassure you. Please give me Charlotte, and I will love her in the future.

- Windsor

Lydia shook the envelope upside down, and a ring fell on the quilt, which was a simple animal bone ring, and the ring was engraved with intricate ancient characters, which looked mysterious and solemn.

"This can't be the bone ring on the hand of Windsor's mother Ariel, right?"

Lucas smiled even brighter,

"Honey is so smart, just like I thought."

Not long after Lydia was happy, she remembered something that was worrying,

"The prince's banquet, Charlotte can't go, what shall we say?"

"Also, it can't be said that Charlotte is already the fiancΓ©e of the Duke of Windsor, so follow him to the battlefield."

Mr. Lucas was also worried.

"Otherwise, it's said that Charlotte is sick and can't go."

"No, the deceitful king has been denounced, and he will be beheaded!"

The Lucas couple pondered for a moment, and Lucas suddenly clapped his hands,

"There's no way, just let Cinderella pretend to be Charlotte, anyway, there is no her in the invitation list of the palace, Cinderella also looks like Charlotte, this method is best to coax those treacherous villains."

Lydia was reluctant to let Cinderella pretend to be her precious daughter, but Mr. Lucas was overjoyed by the idea, knowing that Lucas had always wanted to make up for Cinderella, and Lydia readily agreed.

On the day of the prince's feast, Cinderella heard the good news that made her happy, that Lucas was going to take her to the palace dinner! Feeling less excited, Cinderella began to ask Alan why she had taken her to the dinner this time, she had never had the opportunity to go before, and no one in the town remembered her existence except for the beautiful Charlotte and the cheerful Katie of the Lucas family.

"Miss Cinderella, there are four places in our family for this dinner, Miss Charlotte is not here, you go to make up for the places."

Alan glanced at Cinderella and said without being salty. Allen's reaction was not surprising, after all, he had a good relationship with Charlotte, and he was somewhat uncomfortable to go to the dinner party instead of Charlotte. Despite this, Cinderella was still a little disappointed, she was cautious at home, and she was kind to the servants, she couldn't figure out why she was inferior to Charlotte, why the haughty Charlotte was more popular with the servants?

Alan didn't stay long, and left her room after informing Cinderella, and after Alan left, Cindera opened the pink diary on the bedside and turned directly to a blank page, what she wrote no one knew, in short, everyone was not interested in what she thought.
