Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love

"I was wondering if we could wait a bit before announcing it to the people?"

Lucy smiled and voiced her thoughts. Upon hearing that, Arthur and Juliana looked at her with great compassion.

"No, my poor child, you've suffered enough. You don't have to be afraid anymore."

Juliana embraced Lucy tightly. She could not imagine how much suffering Lucy had gone through.

"Silly girl, your parents are the king and queen, and you're in the palace. No one can harm you here," Juliana said.

"Yes, so don't worry. Just focus on preparing for the coronation ceremony."

Arthur and Juliana reassured Lucy lovingly, relieving her of any worries.

With that, they decided to make the announcement to the citizens, making Lucy feel at a loss.

Although she was deeply touched by the affection and support she received, she could not help but feel concerned about the assassins.

Even Matthew and Cillian had to be cautious around them, but Arthur and Juliana seemed unconcerned. Was this the power of a supreme ruler? While they were conversing, a helper hurriedly entered and handed Arthur a golden envelope.

"Your Majesty, there's a letter of credence for you."

The helper said while handing it over, causing Arthur to raise an eyebrow in curiosity.

In Charleston, all nobles, dukes, and ministers were required to present letters of credence before meeting Arthur. They needed his permission before they could enter the palace to pay their respects.

However, they did not have any urgent matters going on. Who could possibly be asking for permission to enter the palace this early in the morning? Arthur opened the letter and frowned. It was from the grand duke, a figure of significant influence in Charleston.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

In corporate terms, if Arthur and Juliana were the bosses, the grand duke would be their assistant.

After carefully reading the letter, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the helper, who was waiting for his command.

"This distinguished guest the grand duke is referring to, have you seen him before?"

The helper shook his head. The

guest was a foreign man who

exuded authority. He had never seen anyone like him in Charleston

before.

"Very well, then. Please bring the grand duke in."

Arthur instructed, and with a wave of his hand, the helper nodded before stepping out.

In Charleston, both men and women

had equal rights to participate in political affairs, so no one left the room as they awaited the grand duke's arrival.

As the antique doors swung open, the grand duke took a step back and stood beside Matthew.

"Mr. Leon, please step in." The grand duke smiled obsequiously, arousing a sense of unease in the helper.

Apart from the royal family members, the grand duke held the highest position in their country.

Despite his status, the grand duke still showed great respect toward this foreign man.

Who could this man be?

"Grand Duke, His Majesty Arthur and the others are waiting for you in the banquet hall."

The helper led the way as he guided them through the palace. The palace was huge, and it took them ten minutes to reach the banquet hall.

"Greetings, Your Majesties and Your Highnesses."

The grand duke courteously greeted the group, while Matthew simply nodded politely toward Arthur and Juliana.

When Lucy saw Matthew, her eyes lit up. He actually came!

"Your Majesty, allow me to introduce the CEO of the largest conglomerate in the world, Leon Corporation."

There was hardly any need for an introduction. Of course, Arthur knew who the CEO was.

Who would not know who Matthew was in the world of renowned corporations?

However, his curiosity was piqued as there were little to no ties between the royal family and Leon Corporation.
