Chapter 138: Talk with the Headmaster

From what Aurora knew, there was no conflict between the Mountain Kingdom and the Yellow Kingdom.

So it sounded a bit strange when Aurora heard that Lucy went back to her territory first because of this.

But...

’Perhaps Ice Kingdom is making trouble near the border?’

After all, the territory was also near the territory of Red Kingdom. It was not impossible for the war to be brought in even if the chance was low.

"Let me take a look?" Aurora asked.

Annelie nodded and handed the letter over.

It was still sealed with Lucy’s family’s seal. As the heir of her territory, Lucy was qualified to use her family’s seal.

Aurora opened the letter and read the content on the spot. Lucy herself didn’t know the details of what happened in her territory. What she knew was that the situation of the border was not very good and her father asked her to return.

With this reason alone, it was enough for Lucy to ask to graduate early and then left the Capital Academy to her territory.

After all, the journey from the Capital Academy to Lucy’s territory would take some time.

Her territory was located at the border.

And if Aurora was not wrong, it would take around a month to go there.

"I see." Aurora put the letter away and nodded at Annelie. "It seems that we can’t have a tea party together to celebrate my return."

Annelie’s eyes flashed.

After not seeing Aurora for a long time and seeing how elegant Aurora has become, Annelie was a bit greedy to see more of Aurora’s move.

Don’t get her wrong.

It was purely appreciation of beauty!

After all, Annelie didn’t want to make a mistake.

"There’s no problem to hold a tea party with two people," Annelie said tentatively.

Aurora smiled when she heard Annelie’s words. She could guess that Annelie really wanted them to have tea party together.

After all, it has been some time.

"In that case, we’ll have a tea party later. I need to report to the Headmaster and meet with His Highness first," Aurora said.

Annelie nodded.

She knew that Aurora had only returned to the Capital Academy after some time, so there were things that she had to do. She would not want to hinder Aurora from doing what she should do.

"In that case, I’ll wait in the club room first."

"Yes." Aurora nodded.

The two of them went their separate ways and Aurora made her way to the Headmaster’s room. It could be said that she has been a frequent visitor to this place during the time when she was in the Capital Academy.

Of course, the other times were mostly because of Adela who made trouble.

Even Aurora didn’t understand how simple incidents could turn into a misunderstanding when facing with Adela. It seemed as if those whom Adela deemed as her enemies would have conflict with her even if it was not their intention.

Aurora never wanted to make trouble for Adela.

But for some reasons, there were several times when she was accused that way, making Aurora wondered if there was something wrong with the world.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in."

Aurora walked in and saw the Headmaster was busy with the paper in his hand. He raised his head and smiled when he saw Aurora.

"I thought you’re not going to return to the academy again, Lady Aurora."

"How could that be?" Aurora shook her head. "I still have some unfinished business to do in the Capital Academy."

Unfinished business?

The Headmaster was rather speechless when he heard Aurora’s words.

By all means, Aurora’s abilities had long passed the standard for the students in the academy. Even many teachers were actually not as good as Aurora.

Did she really want to come here to study?

He highly doubted that Aurora could study much when she was here.

"You can still attend the classes as usual if you want to," the Headmaster finally said. Anyway, Aurora has always been a good student who didn’t make any trouble for the teachers.

Even if she was smarter than them, but as long as she was willing to listen to the teachers’ words, it was all good.

"I would like to ask a question, Headmaster."

"Yes?" The Headmaster was looking at Aurora, who was still standing in front of him. The expressions on Aurora’s face looked rather solemn.

"There are people from other noble families mixed in the academy," Aurora started slowly.

The Headmaster was not surprised that Aurora knew about this matter. In fact, it was quite easy to find out as long as one had enough connection and information gathering ability. After all, these people were not the best at covering their tracks.

They were here mostly for the sake of the students that belonged to these noble families.

"The academy exists to serve the nobles," the Headmaster replied.

He knew about them.

But he would not say it out loud nor admitting about it. Because he knew that if he did, he might have to face some questioning from others.

Because not all teachers would be happy to know that they were actually under surveillance.

But this academy was an academy for nobles.

How could those people not send some people to watch over their children?

Only some families were either confident in their children’s abilities or confident in the academy’s ability that they didn’t send more people than the people who directly followed the children.

For example, Aurora. The few people who followed Aurora were only the maid and the two knights she brought with her.

Others?

There were none from the White Family.

Not only in the present but also in the past, the Headmaster didn’t find any.

But he didn’t ask.

He simply pretended he didn’t know anything.

Because this was the only way the academy could last for a long time. Without the funding and the approval of the nobles, it was impossible for the academy to be able to continue operating for years.
