Chapter 147: I see it

"I’ll do the investigation and if you’re worried, you can send people to monitor the knights, Your Highness," Aurora finally said this.

"But that’s..."

"Your Highness, the investigation is still necessary. No one shall insult the Royal Family’s name openly and blatantly without paying the price. Besides, it’s unreliable to only rely on his words," Louis interrupted Crown Prince Edward’s words.

Even though Louis had long known that Crown Prince Edward was stupid, but he felt that he would still be a good king in the future. As for how he came to this conclusions?

Louis was not sure.

But he knew very well that his role was to follow Crown Prince Edward and to assist him. It was the role given to him ever since he was young.

So if Crown Prince Edward made a mistake, it was up to Louis to clean up the mess afterwards.

"I..." Crown Prince Edward still wanted to refute but in the end, he stayed silent.

He knew that Louis was smarter than him and there were many things that Louis helped him to finish.

Because it was like this, Crown Prince Edward chose to follow Louis’s words.

Anyway, he knew that Louis would not harm him.

"Would you like to make the arrangement, Sir Louis?" Aurora asked.

"It’ll be my pleasure, Lady Aurora," Louis answered with a smile on his face that didn’t reach his eyes.

It was a fake polite smile.

Many nobles on the High Society was very familiar with this kind of appearance. After all, they didn’t want others to know what they were truly thinking or anything like that. Faking their smile and appearance was something that many of them were familiar with.

Louis was also familiar with it.

His father had taught him.

"Good." Aurora was also wearing the same fake smile on her face. She was more familiar when dealing with people compared with Louis.

The others saw this and felt chills on their back.

For some reasons, the confrontation between Louis and Aurora seemed to be full of killing intent.

While Crown Prince Edward was dissatisfied, he still let Louis handle this matter.

Anyway, he knew that as the king, he couldn’t possibly take care of every matter on his own. There would be many people who would help him when he was on the throne. For matters related to the brain and other official matters, it would be better to hand it over to Louis instead.

...

The confrontation ended and Aurora went to the knights that belonged to the White Family, giving them orders.

"Miss, our order is to stay in the Capital Academy to protect Miss Adela," one of the knights said with a frown.

He didn’t want to fail his order.

"As the eldest young miss of the White Family and also the Crown Princess, do I not have the right to use the knights?" Aurora asked, her voice was by no means low. The few other students who were still watching around could definitely hear her words.

The knight felt sweat on his back when he heard Aurora’s words.

If he dared to say ’no,’ it was estimated that the White Family would be dragged to whirlpool of public opinion.

He had already seen that many people were discussing about this matter.

Adding another problem...

It wouldn’t help them much.

"This..."

"We’ll execute your order, Eldest Miss," another knight who was older and more experienced quickly answered.

Aurora saw these knights and then said, "In that case, you should hurry and do the investigation."

"Yes, Miss!"

The knights went out.

As they departed, Aurora could see the students were talking with each other and some of them were skeptical about this matter.

But it was clear that no matter what the result would be, this matter had already damaged her reputation.

Tsk, tsk.

Whoever made this move is really ruthless.

Who didn’t know how valuable the girl’s reputation at this time is very important?

Aurora was not very surprised, though.

She knew very well that there were already people who could send assassins to kill her. How could they not use other tactics that could ’kill’ her and destroy her future?

Even if she didn’t actively make enemies, there were many people who wanted to deal with her.

It was annoying.

...

Prince Lester and the others didn’t have much roles to play in this incident. Since Aurora spoke directly to the knights under the White Family to work, they have no other choice but to go there to do the investigation.

To make sure they did their work properly, Prince Lester followed them secretly.

But he would not show himself.

On the other hand, William and Les stayed in the academy to help Aurora with the other matters.

"Miss, this matter had already spread to the entire academy and might even spread to the city," Les reported after she had asked around.

She felt utterly disgusted by these people’s moves.

The incident happened many years ago and there was nothing bad that truly happened, but it was brought up as if something had truly happened.

They made up various stories and the speculation was getting more and more ridiculous.

These people didn’t seem to be willing to wait for Aurora to finish the investigation and keen on destroying her reputation.

"I see." Aurora was not surprised when she heard Les’s words.

She had to admit that this incident indeed happened during the time when she was least wary.

At that time, she hadn’t thought that there would be people around her who would harm her. Because her status as the duke’s daughter was more than enough to keep many people away.

They didn’t dare to offend her in the slightest bit.

And the negotiation between the two kingdoms meant that Aurora was representing two kingdoms. She didn’t expect that an oversight would happen, which put her in dangerous situation.

In the end, it was resolved.

But the fact that there were not many witness of that incident remained true.

Because she was the one who killed the knights.
