Chapter 104: Confrontation (2)

Aurora looked at her father in front of her without any traces of fear or worry in her eyes in the slightest bit.

In the end, Duke White asked, "What happened?"

"Some people want to deal with me," Aurora replied. "Unfortunately, the bandits are too weak to do anything and eventually got killed. The knights are sacrificed to protect me, but many of the knights who come to follow me are only at the rank of newly promoted knights. Father, I’m sure you understood what this means, right?"

Facing the cold look from Aurora, Duke White shudder.

He felt chills from deep within his heart and for a moment, he felt as if he was facing his father.

When he was young, he was often taught by his father about various things. Moreover, his father was also someone who was very powerful and had a lot of power. When he was angered, his gaze would be terrifyingly cold.

At this time, Duke White felt he was seeing his father’s shadow in Aurora.

He took a deep breath and said, "I know, I’ll deal with this matter."

"Father, pardon me for speaking out of turns. But of as of now, these people have been executed," Aurora said calmly.

"What did you say?" Duke White stand up.

Knock! Knock!

"Master, the guard who come with Miss killed Butler Nolan and a few servants."

Duke White’s heart turned cold.

Aurora was looking at her father with the same indifferent expression on her face.

She knew that Butler Nolan’s family was also a small noble just like Mr. Wren. It would not be easy to appease the family behind him if he were to be killed right away.

Duke White would want to appease Aurora and then dealt with him in accordance.

Afterwards, it was not impossible to suppress him.

But...

How could Aurora be satisfied with that kind of treatment?

Her hands have been stained with blood and Aurora knew very well that sometimes, she had to use harsh and ruthless methods. Or else, people would think that she, Aurora, is so easy to bully.

As for her action making people angry, Aurora didn’t care.

If the small family behind the Nolan Family wanted to protest and come to her, then Aurora would teach them a profound lesson as to why they could only become a small noble while the White Family has reached the highest nobility.

"You’re really reckless, Aurora!" Duke White said.

He could tell that in the next few days, he had to settle the family behind Butler Nolan. And at that time, it was unknown how much money he had to loss.

"Butler Nolan tried to spread false rumors about a duke’s daughter, does this mistake didn’t deserve death?" Aurora asked back.

Duke White wanted to say that it was not, but all he saw was the cold and indifferent gaze from Aurora. This gaze contained contempt that was hidden beneath as if she was only looking at an insignificant person.

The oppression he experienced when he was with his father back then reappeared in Duke White’s mind.

As much as he respected his father, Duke White feared his father more.

There were also humiliation and resentment because he knew that he could never be compared to his father.

No matter what he did, it was never good enough.

And Aurora’s gaze, despite the difference in the pupil’s colors, were very similar to the gaze of his father, making Duke White fell to that terrible memory once more.

The days when he couldn’t do anything but watch as his father denied all of his hard work.

"Enough!" Duke White yelled. "Do you think you’re someone, Aurora? You’ll be grounded and that guard of yours will also be grounded!"

Even if he was angry, Duke White knew that he couldn’t move even a finger of Aurora.

Her status was no longer only the duke’s daughter.

If she was injured, then it would be hard for him to explain to the Royal Family. Besides, this matter was really embarrassing.

Duke White was prepared to suppress the matter to death and even made a lot of preparation. These days, Butler Nolan did make some trouble along with his servants, but none of them made any obvious move.

So Duke White couldn’t really do anything.

But his daughter was much more decisive and ruthless than him.

One move, these people were killed directly.

They didn’t even have the chance to plead or explain as Aurora was not present in that place and directly gave order to Prince Lester.

"You better not move my people, Father. The funds from the Royal Family hadn’t arrived yet and do you think I will hand it over to you if you do something?" Aurora asked, her tone was calm yet there was a faint domineering and threat within.

Duke White looked at his daughter, feeling that he didn’t know her anymore. "You..."

"I’ll go to the room on my own," Aurora replied. She turned around and looked at her father. "You’re the one who handed me this authority, Father."

You’re the one who handed me this authority...

Duke White watched as Aurora left and the last sentence floated in his mind, making Duke White troubled.

He took a deep breath.

The education for Aurora was the same as the education he experienced ever since he was young. The difference was that Aurora could keep up with these while Duke White failed miserably in his youth to the point he was ruthlessly denied by his own father.

And Aurora’s words echoed in his mind.

She was correct.

It was indeed Duke White who handed over the power to Aurora because he wanted her to grow up quickly.

He never liked any of these works.

While she was just like his father, very powerful and learn everything quickly.

It was just...

Duke White never thought that Aurora would show her sharpness to her family like this.

He took a deep breath.

No matter what, he still had to deal with this problem.
