The title was not just in name. There were plenty of benefits that came with it.An honorary mayor would receive 1% of their fief’s income, and they had the authority to make decisions on how their fief was managed and developed.The title and fief were not to be belittled at all. Take Theodore, for example. His fief was located near Charleston’s capital and was a second-tier city that was flourishing called Kandis.One percent of Kandis’ annual profit garnered Theodore billions on a yearly basis.Charlotte’s fief was slightly under par. Her city was covered with flowers, and even though its development was not as great, she was still able to earn 700 to 800 million annually. However, the more power one had, the heavier one's responsibility.Most of the businesses within Charleston were operated by the royal family. The princesses and princes who had been bestowed a fief would need to be responsible for the livelihoods of the citizens living on their lands.Both princes and pri

Lucy finally felt her physical burden lift after taking everything off. She even wanted to roar in delight after that.She had planned to see Cillian along with Matthew after changing out of her clothes, but Arthur was having a meeting with Cillian at that moment.Meanwhile, Matthew was taking a phone call in the corridor. He was being mysterious about it and did not want Lucy to hear the conversation.“When are you coming back, Mr. Leon? Madam Leon is here at the office every day trying to find out where you are. I’m almost at my wit's end.”Brett complained pitifully to Matthew. His location was not the only thing Gabriella was asking about.Most of Matthew and Lucy’s photos together, as well as anything that had to do with Lucy, had been thrown out.Brett was in shock over this. He knew the difference in Matthew’s attitude toward his mother and wife.When he found out what she did, Brett did not dare allow Gabriella into Matthew’s office anymore. He would stand firm guard out

“I’m not telling you.”Lucy laughed and ran off. Meanwhile, Cillian and Arthur were having a happy conversation during their meeting.“What a coincidence that you and Velda were university friends.”When Cillian mentioned his relationship with Lucy, Arthur was astonished that they knew each other before. It made him feel closer to Cillian.Arthur seemed to enjoy the stories he was being told, and Cillian continued talking about his past with Lucy.“Yes, Lulu and I have been very good friends since we were in university. Her exam results were excellent, and she was the crush of many boys in our class.”Cillian knew exactly what to say. No parent could resist listening to their children’s peers talk about how wonderful their children were.Arthur heard many interesting stories of Lucy’s student years from Cillian. He felt like he had been a part of that time.It was difficult for Arther not to like Cillian, and they enjoyed their conversation tremendously. Charlotte was hiding in

The look in Cillian’s eyes was filled with passion while Matthew’s eyes were blazing with anger.Lucy immediately felt like she had a headache coming.She had lost her memory, not transmigrated into some romance novel. She wondered why Cillian was acting increasingly strange the past few days.If she did not stop this immediately, Matthew was going to be drowning in jealousy.“I-It’s fine, Cillian. That would be too much trouble. I’m living pretty well here in the palace.“Matthew is moving his company’s headquarters over to Charleston, and he plans to stay with me in the palace. There's no need for you to worry about me with Matthew here. He’ll make sure I’m safe.”Lucy was a little embarrassed to be facing the passionate smile on Cillian’s face. She made her way slowly to Matthew’s side.She grabbed Matthew’s arm and looked at Cillian seriously while speaking to him.“Matthew and I will forever be grateful for what you've done for us, Cillian. If it wasn’t for your generous h

Matthew had no answer to this, but he could not allow Lucy to continue misunderstanding him.This had to do with his innocence, and he had to explain things to Lucy.“Silly wifey. It’s because you never know how to breathe when we’re kissing. Besides, when a man meets the love of his life, he’ll immediately become a sweet talker.”Lucy did not know how to react. She decided that she would most definitely surrender completely to Matthew.Why did this man have such a strong hold on her? …Cillian left the palace looking completely crestfallen. He was filled with pain. He knew Lucy very well and understood exactly what she was trying to say.However, he could not give her up. Lucy had been a part of his life for a long time.It was cruel of her to destroy the last hope he had.Cillian was filled with despair, and he continued walking forward without a word.Some of the dignitaries with him wanted to ask if it was alright for them to leave without informing the king.However, t
