Chapter 143: Waiting

Aurora smiled.

She had to say that after a few years, Prince Lester truly played the role of her knight very well.

It was to the point that Aurora sometimes forgot that the person in front of her should have higher status than her. Because the Ice Kingdom behind Prince Lester also has big influence in the world.

The war between the Ice Kingdom and the Red Kingdom was only one of the few things that affected many things greatly.

"She couldn’t do anything openly," Aurora said slowly. "So even if she were to make a move, she’ll do it covertly. I’ll leave it to you to protect my rear."

Prince Lester looked at Aurora in front of him deeply and bowed down. "Yes, Miss."

Aurora smiled faintly and waved her hand. "You may go."

"Yes, Miss."

Turning around, Aurora slowly made her way to the balcony and looked outside. There were many other noble students who were busy with other things, laughing and playing with each other.

While they would maintain their etiquette as part of the nobility, they were also expressing theirselves freely to a certain degree.

It was really nice.

’If I had been born in lower nobility, would it be possible for me to live a freer life?’ Aurora muttered in a low voice.

The ’what if’ conjecture has always been the contemplation points that many people used. Because they knew very well that if their lives trajectory has been different, there would be many different results.

But they also knew that this ’what if’ is nothing more than pipe dreams.

There were many things that couldn’t be changed, so they could only accept it. And her own birth family was one of the few things that Aurora could never change.

"Les, come inside."

"Yes, Miss."

Les, Aurora’s maidservant, has been waiting for Aurora and naturally served Aurora well over the years. While other people would have more trusted maidservants, Aurora had to say that she only trusted Les.

The others could only be given trust to a certain degree but not truly allowed to get close to Aurora.

"I would like you to inspect the food they sent to me every day." Aurora looked at Les and smiled faintly. "It’s going to be a bit dangerous here."

"Miss..." Les frowned. She felt that the people in the academy wouldn’t do anything like that, but then she was not sure whether these people would truly dare to do it or not.

Because Aurora’s existence alone had made many people wary.

"Is it possible for you to step away?" Les asked carefully.

"If it’s possible, I would not come back at all," Aurora said lightly.

She didn’t know what it is, but she had the feeling that she had to return to the Capital Academy and faced her sister and the others here. There were many people who were slowly but surely pushing her forward so that she would come back to Yellow Kingdom’s Capital Academy.

Aurora didn’t know what to say about these people.

But she did need an ending.

"Without coming back here, there’s no way that things could reach the conclusion." Aurora looked at the window and slowly moved her gaze away. She looked down at her hand and smiled faintly. "Just in case, you have to be prepared."

She came back this time not to study or to live a normal life like before.

From the moment Aurora decided to go out of the Capital Academy for a long period of time, Aurora knew that there were many people who were already waiting for her misfortune or even death.

The use of poison...

Was only one of the few basic things.

"Yes, Miss." Les bowed and then left.

Aurora sighed and shook her head.

She had made a lot of preparations.... Now, she just have to wait for them to make a move.

...

Aurora’s arrival to Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City naturally made some people moved their thoughts.

They knew that the current political situation was not very good.

And Queen Ella was not very happy with this daughter in law of hers. She has been trying to make things difficult for Aurora from time to time, but Aurora refused to even see her on the basis that she had to study.

Had to study?

Looking at the ranking list where Aurora’s name was still at the very top, Queen Ella knew very well that this was nothing more than an excuse made by Aurora.

Even after an entire day, what Queen Ella heard was nothing more than the piece of news that Aurora had attended the class as normal.

Heh, did she really think that she could get away so easily?

"When will that man come?" Queen Ella asked.

"Your Majesty, he’ll take some time."

Queen Ella snorted. "Then, send the words to some others. I’m sure that they’ll be happy to hear that Aurora is in the Capital Academy. That academy’s security isn’t the best either."

With Aurora helping some nobles to win various trades, she had offended those who had similar statuses and eventually pressed back because of these nobles. Moreover, there were also those who didn’t have good relationship with Duke White.

If they could make things difficult for Aurora because of her father behind her, why not?

At least, that was the thoughts of some people behind.

So while the surface was calm, there were already some turmoils behind that set off, ready to cause as much trouble as possible.

Bang!

In the midst of the night, some people who sneaked into the Capital Academy were thrown out again.

They came in one piece.

And came out in several pieces.

Blood stained the grounds along with some other pieces of flesh and blood that splattered the ground.

One with weak heart might not be able to stand this kind of view.

But the two people who tossed these things out had indifferent expression on their faces. They didn’t seem to take this matter to the heart either.
