Chapter 142: Provocation?

Aurora didn’t really want to.

Previously, she followed her order because she had no other choice but to do it. But after coming out and having a lot of other things to do, Aurora realized that she couldn’t stay like this.

This was the reason why she hadn’t returned for a long time.

But now that she had returned, Aurora didn’t plan to go and see Queen Ella or it would be troublesome.

Besides, she had guesses about what Queen Ella wanted.

"I have only returned to the academy and needed time to consolidate my study," Aurora said with an apologetic smile. "I don’t think I’ll be able to see Her Highness soon, Your Highness."

"Is that so?" Crown Prince Edward nodded but didn’t seem to care about this anymore.

After that, they talked a few more words such as how Crown Prince Edward has been doing and his study.

Hearing that his study didn’t really have any improvement aside from occasionally above the passing line, Aurora was not surprised. Even with Adela’s presence, it was impossible for her to push Crown Prince Edward to change if he didn’t really want it from the bottom of his heart.

He only studied in order to be able to show off in front of Adela.

It was ridiculous.

Such a reason would definitely not let him last in his study for a long time and Aurora had guessed that with time, Crown Prince Edward would be beaten back to his original shape.

And the result was as she had guessed.

After the talk, Aurora left and went to ask around about Prince Charles.

The result?

He’s even worse than Crown Prince Edward.

This generation of princes were indeed troublesome.

Aurora shook her head and made her way to the dormitory. Today is the first day she came back to the academy in a while, so it would be better for her to rest first.

...

<Yellow Kingdom’s Royal Palace>

Queen Ella was resting in her room when she heard the news from her maid that Aurora had returned. She was now in the Capital Academy and attended classes as normal as if nothing had happened.

But three years...

"Do you really think that you can do something even if you go out and stay in the White Family territory for three years?" Queen Ella snorted.

She felt that the Capital Academy was really too lax when dealing with a student like Aurora. Because of her position and work, she often went out and didn’t even attend classes properly.

The maids around Queen Ella didn’t dare to speak.

They knew that the queen was not in a good mood.

Who would be when they were already making many plans but none of them could be executed because the person she wanted to target was so far away.

Now that Aurora is back.

It’s time...

"Call him back." Queen Ella’s eyes narrowed. "I’m sure that there are many people who couldn’t wait to see her."

"Yes, Your Highness."

...

The night passed by quietly.

When it was morning, Aurora woke up early and found Prince Lester was already waiting for her. Over the past few years, Prince Lester had been following her and also learned various things.

Of course, based on their agreement with each other, Prince Lester would also do various things for Aurora.

These were naturally things that were not easy to be mentioned on the surface.

Because Aurora had things that she wished to achieve but her position had put constraint on her, making it not easy for her to do everything so freely.

Prince Lester’s existence had helped her to do many things.

"Miss," Prince Lester called out.

"Have you figured out who’s making some moves upon my return?" Aurora asked slowly as she let Prince Lester into her dormitory.

"Yes, Miss." Prince Lester bowed slightly. He spoke a few nobility names and at the last moment, he said, "Her Highness seems to be in a hurry."

Her Highness?

Aurora arched her eyebrows and thought about Queen Ella.

She chuckled and didn’t feel too surprised.

"That woman only wants everything that she could control and those who are not willing to be under her will be removed."

When Aurora saw Queen Ella back then, Aurora knew very well that Queen Ella was someone who would not let others go if they were not willing to serve her.

She didn’t like Aurora.

Because Aurora is too strong.

Aurora knew this very well and was not bothered with it.

She knew that if she wished to stand on the top, she was bound to offend some people. Queen Ella was just one of the many people who didn’t want to see Aurora succeeded and sat on the high position.

Or perhaps, she didn’t want her son to be led by others?

But if that was the case, Queen Ella would dislike Adela more than Aurora because Crown Prince Edward listened to Adela more than Aurora. In fact, if Adela wanted to coax Crown Prince Edward, it could be done very easily.

On the other hand, Aurora’s influence on Crown Prince Edward was very limited.

So Aurora concluded that it was not because of Crown Prince Edward that Queen Ella disliked her. She just didn’t want to hand over the position of the crown princess so easily to Aurora.

"Miss..." Prince Lester frowned when he heard this.

Aurora saw Prince Lester’s expression and chuckled. "Are you worried for me, Lester? You don’t have to be for I know that she’ll definitely make a move."

Prince Lester didn’t answer and only looked at Aurora in front of him. His gaze seemed to be telling her that he was not happy that she was putting her life on the line but at the same time, he also knew that he couldn’t do anything.

Because he’s technically her knight right now and it was his duty to protect Aurora, no matter what she was doing or what happened to her.
