Chapter 222
However, Lucy quickly realized that her plans were foiled as she stared blankly at the afternoon sun in Charleston.
Cillian thought that Lucy was not used to the time difference, so he comforted her, "There's a time difference between Charleston and our country, but you'll be fine. You might feel sleepy in another couple of hours, but to not mess with your circadian rhythm, it's best if you don't sleep yet. It's a good chance for you to adjust your internal clock."
Lucy was speechless. She had just decided to stay up late. Now, she was forced to adjust her circadian rhythm? Lucy grabbed her luggage and prepared to hail a taxi to their pre-booked hotel.
A few steps in, Lucy felt her luggage getting taken from her hands by Cillian.
Cillian smiled at her and said, "I'm the man here. How can I let a woman carry her own luggage? Let's go. I'll show you the way."
With an oversized travel bag on his back and a small pink suitcase in his hand, Cillian walked down the streets of Charleston.
Fortunately, the heavy luggage was not much of a hassle for Cillian. The people of Charleston were quite reserved and well-mannered, so they did not give Cillian any strange looks.
Instead, they were silently praising him for being so gentlemanly.
Cillian and Lucy arrived at their pre-booked hotel. Cillian took out his passport and ID card, speaking fluently to the receptionist, "Hello, we'd like to check in. Here are our passports and ID cards. We've already made reservations online. Can you please check?"
The receptionist did not display her usual smile. Instead, she maintained a neutral expression as she checked his passport. After confirming that everything was in order, she said to Cillian expressionlessly, "Your room numbers are 2201 and 2202. Enjoy your stay."
Then, she gave a slight nod to both Lucy and Cillian, which Lucy found quite strange. Her tone and etiquette were polite, but why did she look so serious?
Perhaps Lucy's curiosity was too
obvious, but the receptionist noticed and explained, "Today marks the second day of mourning for

Charleston's princess. While the king hasn't issued any specific mandates,
the people have voluntari mandates,
designated this day as the day without smiles. Content Belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Upon hearing her explanation, Lucy waved her hand. "It's okay. We understand."
At the same time, Lucy felt
sympathy for the royal family. They had just lost a loved one, but she hoped that the members of the royal family could feel comforted by the people's heartfelt wishes.
Lucy followed Cillian into the elevator and pressed the button for the 22nd floor. When she entered her room, she started to unpack her belongings. Suddenly, she thought of something and picked up the phone to call Cillian.
In the adjacent room, Cillian immediately answered when he saw that it was Lucy. He asked, "What's wrong? Do you need something? I'll give you whatever you need right away."
"No, it's not that. I'm just wondering if we're going to be staying in the hotel from now on? If we are, then I'll hang my clothes in the wardrobe,” replied Lucy.
