Juliana managed to compose herself, and Arthur sighed in relief as he continued holding her in his arms.
They sat there through the night. As the first light of dawn approached, a helper rushed in excitedly.
"Your Majesties, Princess Velda has returned!"
What?! Arthur and Juliana jumped to their feet, staring at the helper in disbelief. "A-Are you talking about Velda? Has Velda returned?"
How could that be possible? Was she not...
"It's true! It's Princess Velda herself. She's at the palace gates with her husband right now!"
The helper confirmed once again, and the two could not stay seated any longer. They ran toward the palace gates.
"Your Majesties, please slow down. Princess Velda isn't going to run away..."
The helper trailed behind, unable to catch up with the two. He was helpless as he stood there panting heavily.
He had never seen Arthur and Juliana lose their composure like this before, and it was all because Princess Velda had returned. "Velda, My Velda. Is it you? You're back!"
Before they even reached the gates, Juliana eagerly called out her name. Lucy and Matthew stood quietly by the car at the palace gates. Seeing Juliana in such a state, Lucy could not contain herself either. She ran forward to greet her.
The mother and daughter embraced, and Lucy comforted Juliana, saying, "It's me, Mom. I'm fine. I'm back now."
Lucy woke up before dawn and heard from Matthew that the royal guards were covertly investigating her whereabouts throughout the city. She knew that Arthur and Juliana must have been worried sick, so she hurried back to the palace as soon as she woke up.
Matthew could not persuade her otherwise, so he had no choice but to accompany her.
It was just one night away, and Juliana already looked visibly worn out.
Seeing her daughter's safe return, Juliana trembled as she touched Lucy's face. When she noticed the bandage around Lucy's neck, she was shocked.
"Velda, how did you come back? What happened to your neck? Are you hurt? How did you get hurt? Are you injured anywhere else? Let me see." Juliana frantically inspected Lucy, who could not help but feel both helpless and amused.
"Mom, I'm fine. Matthew saved me. You're bombarding me with so many questions at once. Which question should I answer first?"
She smiled at Juliana, who was relieved to see that her daughter was unharmed.
"Thank goodness, you're okay. I was so worried. When your sister told us that you were kidnapped, my heart shattered. I'm so glad you're safe." Juliana was overjoyed, but Lucy asked hesitantly upon hearing her words. "Mom, my sister said... I was kidnapped?"
"Yes, Velda. Your sister was knocked unconscious by the kidnapper too. She came back crying and begging for our help. That's how we found out that you were kidnapped but... why do you ask?"
Juliana instinctively replied to Lucy's question, but she started to feel uneasy when she noticed something off about Lucy's expression.
At that moment, Matthew stepped forward and said to Arthur and Juliana with a serious expression, "Dad, Mom, my wife wasn't kidnapped."
What? However, Charlotte clearly
said that Lucy was kidnapped, and
the kidnapper demanded a five billion fansom. Why was Matthew saying that Lucy was not
S
kidnapped?
"What do you mean?"

Arthur squinted his eyes and looked at Matthew sternly, who replied calmly, "It's not convenient for us to discuss here. Let's wait until we see Princess Charlotte.
"Oh, and I've brought someone with me. I'm sure Princess Charlotte would be pleasantly surprised to see him."
