Chapter 146: Handling

"Kyaaa!"

"Waaa!"

"What happened?"

Stab! Splash!

The man stabbed himself with the other knight’s swords. He looked at Aurora with hideous expressions, trying his best to make himself look as ferocious as possible, but when he saw Aurora’s cold and indifferent gaze, he still felt fear.

He knew that he had dug his own grave by coming here today.

But so what?

He had no other choice.

"I’ll use my death... to prove my words," The man said bitterly.

This was the last resort that he could think of to finish his mission. Besides, his life was indeed worthless.

"Miss..." the knight looked at Aurora’s direction with frown. He was a knight from the White Family territory whom Aurora brought with her but didn’t let him get close to her like William and Prince Lester.

His position was more like ordinary knights.

However, he still came to the academy’s compound and stayed with the other knights.

When he heard that someone was making trouble and spouted nonsense about Aurora, he immediately stepped forward.

But now...

The situation didn’t seem to be good.

"This is..." Crown Prince Edward was shocked. Even if he had swordsmanship training, this was the first time he saw a person died in front of him, which shocked him to the very end.

He felt nausea.

And at this time, he really wanted to vomit.

"Ugh..."

Louis and Benny’s expression was not very good either. They were used to stay in the academy and being the ’pampered’ young master of their family. When would they face this kind of scene?

It was good enough that they didn’t faint like many other students nearby.

Behind them, Leon was frowning but he would not frown like the others. Duke Sun’s territory was located at the border with the Sand Kingdom. While the current situation was relatively peaceful, there were actually some conflicts there.

As the young master and also someone who wanted to become a knight, Leon was naturally taught by his father to go to the battlefield early.

When they were facing some bandits and so on, he was also present.

So even if he were to see someone die in front of him, he would not feel anything much.

On the other hand, Benny, who was claimed as the youngest knight in the history of the Yellow Kingdom, only knew the spar of knights. There was no requirement for the knight’s apprentice to go the frontline personally.

So Benny was completely raised in the academy.

In terms of sparring and raw strength alone, he will indeed win with landslide against other students and even other knights.

But if he were to be sent to the real battle?

Hehehe.

It would be good enough if he could retain half of his real strength.

"This is a death’s statement," Leon muttered in a low voice.

Death statement was the type of statement that used one’s death to prove. This kind of thing was rare because no one wanted to bet their own lives to make a statement. Even if the statement was made, they would not be alive to enjoy it.

What a worthless thing would it be?

Unless this kind of statement would benefit someone else, someone whom they treasured with their lives.

"Send people to investigate his family, the people he made connection with, and also if there’s any unusual amount of money in his possession or people around him," Aurora gave order to the knights directly.

"Yes, Miss."

"What are you doing?" Crown Prince Edward asked.

"I’m investigating," Aurora answered lightly.

"He’s already like this and you’re still investigating?" Crown Prince Edward didn’t understand Aurora’s operation at all.

"Do you believe him?" Aurora asked with a frown.

"Yes." Crown Prince Edward nodded.

Aurora looked at Crown Prince Edward as if she was looking a stupid person. Such a person becoming the king of the Yellow Kingdom, wouldn’t it cause this kingdom to be heading straight to ruins?

But even if that was what Aurora thought in her mind, she would not say it so bluntly.

"He might not be telling the truth and as the person whom he slandered, I’m the one who wants to find out the truth more," Aurora said in indifferent tone and nodded at the knight who turned around and left.

"Are you going to make the matter worse?" Crown Prince Edward asked, his face was really dark.

Aurora turned to look at Crown Prince Edward, the corner of her lips curled up slightly. "Do you think that I should not investigate the truth, Your Highness?"

"He’s already dead! And if he wants to use his own death to let people know the truth, he should be telling the truth!" Crown Prince Edward said righteously.

How stupid.

Most of the students who were present, including the few people who followed Crown Prince Edward thought that way when they heard Crown Prince Edward’s words. After studying in the academy for a while, they were also taught some logics and knew some things.

Of course, there were also those who had the same thoughts as Crown Prince Edward and felt that the death statement meant that it should be the truth.

Because they couldn’t think of anyone who would make a lie and even seek death to say this lie.

"His words are not necessarily the truth because he might be paid to tell the lie even if it cost his life," Aurora said lightly.

"How is that..."

"He could be threatened with his family members or the easiest way is to give benefit that will be given to his family members or those who are close to him," Aurora said unhurriedly.

"How is that possible?" Crown Prince Edward frowned.

Hearing his question, Aurora knew that Crown Prince Edward’s stupidity seemed to be worse than what she thought in the beginning.

She sighed.

Aurora felt that even if she had thought that Crown Prince Edward was stupid, he could still prove to her that his stupidity was actually even worse than that.
