Theodore left after saying that. Lucy did not understand what he meant.
However, she found out very soon.
News came from the palace that Theodore had summoned the helper from Charlotte's residence for interrogation.
After that, Charlotte was grounded and had half a year's pocket money deducted.
Even her fief profits had been taken from her. It was considered a very serious punishment.
Charlotte's eyes were swollen from all the crying, and nothing changed even when she tried to beg for leniency from Juliana. She continued to be grounded.
Lucy's coronation day arrived very soon. It was a national celebration.
When Hugh and Chelsea arrived in Charleston's capital, it was covered with lights and decorations. The entire city was in a festive mood.
"Wow, Charleston's capital is really beautiful, Hugh. Is there a special holiday today? Why does everyone look so happy?"
Chelsea looked around with curiosity and was in a great mood.
She had just walked past a few shops, and they were giving out free candy or little gifts.
Hugh could not help shaking his head when she asked the question. He had no idea either what celebration was being held in Charleston.
"I have no idea either. Let's try asking someone."
Hugh noticed someone in front of them and pulled Chelsea over as he called out to him.
"Sir, everyone looks really cheerful. Is there some sort of important celebration today?"
The man turned around to look at them. When he heard the question, he smiled and said, "You must not be from here. Are you here on a holiday? You came at the right time."
"It's our queen's birthday and our youngest princess' coronation. The royal family has decreed today as a national celebration. We're currently celebrating both occasions.
"There's also a ball tonight that will be held in the palace. It's big enough for two to three thousand people. Even commoners are allowed to attend the ball as long as they're willing to buy an invitation.
"You can have a look as well if you're interested."
The man was very friendly and chatty. He explained the celebration to Hugh and Chelsea, even telling them about the ball that night.
"I see. Thank you, sir," they thanked the man after finding out about the occasion.
The man waved them off and
reminded them, "By the way, have you booked your hotel? If you're here for a holiday, the hotels must be fully booked because today is a national holiday."
"Thank you for your kind reminder, sir. We've already booked it."
Hugh smiled and thanked the man. They said goodbye to him after that and headed to their hotel.
Chelsea could not help saying, "This country is really friendly and helpful. All we did was ask a question and he told us so much about today."
"I wonder what the princess' coronation is like. It looks like a huge occasion."

Hugh explained to Chelsea with a smile. She did not think much of this as there was only one thought on her mind-she wanted to see Lucy.
Chelsea suddenly remembered something and quickly looked at Hugh in delight.
"Hugh, didn't you say that the postcard Lulu sent to me had a logo that belongs to the royal family? What a coincidence!"
They had been thinking about how to visit the palace while on their way here. It looked like this was their chance.
Hugh remembered this as well when Chelsea mentioned it. She was right. They could buy an invitation to the ball.
