Chapter 373
Matthew had made it clear to get rid of anyone who dared to harm or chat up his wife.
Augustus retreated in fear and stuttered, "G-Gorgeous, tell your bodyguards to calm down. If they injure me, I'll sue you."
Just a moment ago, he was acting all high and mighty, but he instantly shrunk in fear.
Feeling at a loss, Lucy quickly instructed the head of her bodyguards, "It's alright. He won't do anything to me."
"Yes, Mrs. Leon."
The bodyguard immediately stepped back.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Augustus finally straightened his posture and sighed in relief, returning to his nonchalant self.
"What are you up to?"
Lucy looked at him with a hint of exasperation, so he said innocently, "Nothing. Theodore, that rascal, asked me to find his sister for him, but he didn't tell me anything. He just left without a word.
"Good thing I'm also somewhat a nobleman myself, so I was able to enter the palace. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known you're actually his sister.
"Since we met each other here coincidentally, I just wanted to come up to say hello. What did you think I was up to?"
Augustus rambled on and chuckled as he looked at Lucy.
Lucy furrowed her brows, avoiding his gaze. “Nothing. Since you've come to say hello already, you can leave now. I'm going home.”
Lucy could not bring herself to like this guy at all. How could someone as gentle as her brother have such a shady friend?
Wrinkling her nose, Lucy turned around and left, but Augustus did not stop her this time. Instead, he just watched her leave with great interest. Theodore's little sister was quite the character. She was quirky and cute, but it was a shame that she was married.
There was no way her husband could possibly be as charming and handsome as him, though. Hmm... Maybe he should ask Theodore for help. Augustus smirked, humming a tune as he walked away.
After her encounter with Augustus, Lucy was not in the mood anymore, so she decided to head home.
When she got home, Matthew had not returned yet, so she sorted through the belongings she brought back from the guesthouse.
There were a few sets of clothes, some novels, a laptop, and...
The drafts she intended to work on and the sketch of Matthew. They were carefully packed into a folder, courtesy of either Cillian or the landlady. While organizing her belongings, she looked at the sketches and thought about her walk today. Suddenly, inspiration struck.
Without even tidying up, she hurried to her studio and began to sketch frantically.
She wanted to create a book titled 'The Adventures of the Runaway Princess'.
The name might sound cheesy, but it was just a temporary title. She had the entire storyline planned out.
The story was about a commoner
princess and the hardships she faced. Wielding a sword, she overcame obstacles, fought villains, and defeated dragons. Eventually, she would save a handsome prince, finding both friendship and love along the way. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
It was intended to be a feel-good short story with a maximum of three pages and a dozen or so frames.
The commoner princess was
inspired by Lucy herself, while Prince
Charming was none other than
Matthew. As for the villains and dragons, Lucy had not figured them out yet, but she had a rough idea. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Once she started, she came fully engrossed in it. She spent the entire afternoon in her studio, sketching more than a dozen images of the main characters, but no matter how she looked at them, she was not satisfied. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

They were either far too complex or the character lines were too sharp. They did not fit the feel-good style she envisioned, and the whole thing was turning out more like a horror story instead.
