Matthew looked at the strong guards gathered in the courtyard, then glanced back at his wife inside. With an air of authority, he approached the group. "I invited you all here with a request. Over the next few days, I hope you’ll help watch over my family. There have been some petty troublemakers causing issues here recently, so I’m counting on you." He spoke seriously but with a note of humility.The men were all disciplined and orderly. They had already lined up even before Matthew arrived. After he finished speaking, they all responded in unison, "I understand!"In the time it took Lucy to finish washing her hair, Matthew had arranged everything for the household.According to the data, each guard cost over ten grand per day, and Matthew had hired more than a hundred of them, meaning daily expenses exceeded a million.

Charlotte was well aware of the ruthless nature of the people in the monastery; she had experienced it firsthand, so she knew all too well. However, she was too lazy to concern herself with it. Engaging with them felt like a waste of her own time. Arthur had sent her here to be punished, and it would be soon enough before she returned to take her revenge on them. Here, only Joan was genuinely sincere toward her, yet Charlotte felt a surge of uncertainty within her. Despite the tenderness directed at her, her heart remained steadfast and unyielding."All done!" Joan wrapped Charlotte's hand in a layer of gauze, clapping her hands in satisfaction. "A job well done, right?" Charlotte did not feel like talking and could not even muster the energy to respond. She simply nodded lightly. Joan was thrilled, finally feeling acknowledged by Charlotte."What do you want to eat? I can order takeout. I'm free to come and go now!" Joan said cheerfully. The mention of food made Charlotte fe

Before long, all the dishes were served. Charlotte looked at the lavish dinner in front of her and felt as if she had returned to the castle. Dinners in the castle were just as intoxicating.After a while, Charlotte sampled every dish on the table, feeling quite satisfied. A princess should be treated this way! However, just as she was finishing her meal, the headmistress suddenly burst through the door. Her gaze was fierce and filled with rage as if she wanted to devour Charlotte whole! Charlotte felt a bit anxious at first, but soon, she regained her composure. No matter what she did, the headmistress would never look favorably upon Charlotte anyway. Hence, she might as well do what she wanted. However, Joan appeared somewhat flustered, fearing the headmistress would come up with some nonsense to keep Charlotte imprisoned longer! "You, a princess of Charleston, are actually doing such things?! Bringing you to the monastery was meant to reform you, not to let you indulge in win

Over the past year or so, Charlotte had gradually come to understand that the world was not just about picturesque landscapes and lavish feasts. In the shadows, beyond her sight, lay a world full of schemes and deception. Despite her ongoing attempts to plot against Lucy Quinn, she had not noticed this aspect at all until she arrived at the monastery. Here, she realized how dark human nature could truly be.The women at the monastery constantly criticized and belittled her, while the headmistress was corrupt, using her position for personal vendettas. She was also driven by greed for wealth and status. All Charlotte wanted was to escape this dreadful place and return to her castle. She wanted to go back to her plush, comfortable bed. There, she led a life surrounded by maids tending to her every need.Thinking of this, she remembered Lucy and envisioned her seated in her rightful place, basking in the affection of Arthur and Juliana. She could see Lucy's haughty expression starin

The next morning, news of the assassination attempt on Charlotte was sensationalized across all media outlets. The internet was flooded with headlines about her close brush with death, sparking worldwide shock. No one could believe that Charlotte, notorious for her arrogance and harsh treatment of offenders, could have been targeted like this. Many who resented her strict, often cruel ways were both thrilled and stunned by the news. The royal family immediately tightened security at the monastery, dispatching a large police force to investigate what had happened. The monastery became a focal point of public intrigue.“What? That's impossible! How could there be no trace?” Juliana exclaimed in disbelief. Standing before her was the chief forensic investigator.“Yes, Your Majesty, there's no sign of Princess Charlotte’s remains,” the investigator confirmed firmly.“Fine, I understand.
