Lucy looked at everyone's shocked expressions and sneered.

"What sort of father watches his own daughter get beaten, framed, thrown out of her father's house and kept on the streets?

And if you truly cared about me, then from the time that I was taken into the palace, why didn't you find a way to inquire about?"

"Don't talk nonsense!

We had already felt bad about not contacting you after you were left on the streets.

But when you were taken into the palace, we feared his Majesty Alec Barn's wrath so we didn't dare to contact you then.

After all, you were taken in by his unfavoured wife.

So you have to understand where we are coming from too." Elvira said calmly.

In her mind, if she could reason with Lucy and calm the fool down, then the idiot would still be willing to aid one of her daughters in being queen.

To her, Lucy just had daddy issues.

So if it's a father she wanted, why nig give it to her?

The idiot was probably mad because her father abandoned her.

She looked at Lucy and scoffed.

As expected, the child still yearned for fatherly love after all this time.

If that's the case, then why not make it look like Gustav was forced to forget all about her?

All that mattered at this point was to make the fool believe their story.

Of course, Gustav had also assumed that her little temper came from her daddy issues too.

Both husband and wife had similar minds that worked like clockwork.

.

"Oh?

So you said that it's because of his majesty Alec Barn that father didn't contact this one?"

"Yes of course!

If not for him, your father would have long contacted you."

"Hmm...

And I'm guessing that the reason why he still didn't contact me after getting exiled was because of his majesty Alec Barn right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!

You really know your father well."

"Hm?

If that's the case, then why are you now willing to face Alec's wrath for me?

I mean... it's not a secret that my fiance disgraced his majesty Alec Barn when he visited sometime back.... which angered your Arcadinian king.

So, why are you now willing to face Alec's wrath for me now?"

--Silence--

Everyone felt their words get stuck in their mouths.

What could they say?

That they were indirectly sent by Alec to manipulate Landon?

Again, they couldn't possibly tell her that they too felt the need to take over Baymard, get richer and throw her out of Baymard right?

Elvira swallowed hard and forced a soft smile from her lips.

"Child... it's not that we don't want to tell you.

But believe us, we have a very tangible reason for doing so.

It's just that if we tell you, you might be in danger.

So let's just leave it as it is, alright?" Elvira said warmly.

"Okay."

The moment Lucy agreed, everyone was internally celebrating as well.

'Hehehhehehe... stupid girl.

Of course, we have a tangible reason.

But sadly, your not included in our plans.'

.

Lucy smiled and calmly crossed her arms against her chest confidently.

"Well, whatever your reasons are, since you don't want me to know... then let's forget about it.

But as for your request of possessing my man, all can drown yourselves in a sea of boiling water and drown for all I care."

'Boom!'

Everyone's mind felt like it had exploded from rage.

"You b**ch!" Debbie yelled in fury while standing up as well.

Of course, Praila stood in rage too.

"Mom!

I knew that this sl** wouldn't be easy to deal with.

Now, she's hugging my man and doesn't want to let go."

"All of you, shut up for me!" Lucy said arrogantly.

What?

Everyone's eyes opened wide in shock again.

When did this little imp's wings grow?

"I don't know what made you all think that I'm the same Lucy from before.

But just in case you don't know my current identity, then please... use your brains and your eyes to look around you.

Do you see those statues over there?

Do you see the giant name written across the lawns and decorations around?

I'm guessing you do.

Because from the way you're all acting, one would think that you all have gone blind or something.

But just in case you have what we Baymardians call cataract, then let me spell it out for you.

I... am... the future queen of Baymard.

That's right!

I'm the future queen.

And not only have you all insulted me, but you've also threatened me multiple times within my territory.

Now, I don't know if you all are stupid, overly confident or just plain dumb.

But do you all know the consequences of what you all have just done?"

Listening to Lucy, everyone froze for a bit before sneering arrogantly.

"Stupid little sister.

Even if you report us to your fiance, who's going to believe anything that you say?

If you haven't noticed, we have left very good impressions on everyone here... including the maids.

So if all of us deny your accusations, can you really win over us?

After all, your fiance is a man.

And most men are weak to crying ladies.

Just a little tears here and there, and you'll be doomed."

"Oh?

I'd like to see you try!"

The confidence that Lucy excluded angered everyone again.

"You scarlet woman!

You harlot!

You cheap p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e!

Why didn't you just die or get taken in by any drunken man in the streets?"

"How dare you dream of being the queen of Baymard?

Do you think that you're worthy?"

"You vile child!

How dare you speak up to us in this manner?

As a child from the Gustav family, you have to do what we say!!"

Lucy just smiled coldly while watching everyone jump around like zoo animals.

"Heh!

Let me make one thing clear!

I don't care about your so-called reason for visiting me.

But last time I checked, I'm no longer a member of the noble Gustav family.

So I don't have to follow your rules or orders.

With that said, I'm growing fairly tired of seeing your pretentious faces.

So after today, do me a favour and buzz off!" Lucy said calmly, before giving them the middle finger and turning around in attempts to walk away.

But how could they let her go just like that?

How dare she turn her back and walk out on him?

Who the hell did she think she was?

No!

He had to stop this horrid child from giving his son-in-law a bad impression of himself.

Gustav quickly recovered from his shock and stretched his hands to grab her in anger.

It was best to force this abominable child into the ground and make her remember his terror.

But just when Gustav's fingers were about to touch her... a loud ear-splitting sound echoed within the garden.

'Boom!'

"Touch her, and you die!!"
