Chapter 148: I see it (2)

Based on that, there shouldn’t be any other knights or witnesses who could put Aurora in difficult situation.

She herself also knew that it wouldn’t be good to let others held her weakness in their hands, so she eliminated those people.

Because she also knew that they were paid.

Perhaps, some of them were innocent.

But that was just a possibility and she has no time to investigate them all one by one. She had to protect herself.

And this is her methods of doing it.

This man appeared out of nowhere, saying nonsense about that incident once more.

’You’re planning to use this incident to shake me up?’

Aurora’s eyes flashed with coldness.

She had grown a lot ever since that incident happened. Because Aurora knew very well that tears were useless. It could not erase the past nor could it help her because for someone at her stature, tears were nothing more than a sign of weakness.

It might be the fault of her own personality, but no matter what, she will not cry again.

She had to work hard to solve the problems in front of her.

"Miss..." Les interrupted when she saw Aurora fell into a long silence. She didn’t know what Aurora was thinking, but there were some people who wanted to look for her.

"There’s no need to worry so much about them." Aurora raised her head and looked at Les. "Wait for those knights to return, I’m sure they’ll bring satisfactory answer."

Because if they didn’t bring any satisfactory answer, Prince Lester would be the one to make them do their work properly.

"Yes, Miss." Les bowed.

Even though Les was worried for Aurora, but she knew better than anyone that her task was to follow through Aurora’s order.

No matter what happened in the future, Les would stand by Aurora’s side and made sure that her Miss would not be wronged.

Aurora watched as Les left and then lowered her eyes to the book in front of her.

There was no point in worrying about this.

Once the evidences were brought up, everything would become clear.

As for the case when there’s no evidence?

The corner of Aurora’s lips curled up slightly.

There’s no chance for it to happen.

...

Prince Lester followed the knights from the White Family to pay a visit to the man’s residence.

These knights were actually the knights that Duke White send to the Capital Academy to protect Adela and watched over her.

As Aurora’s knight, Prince Lester knew very well that Duke White didn’t bother to send any knights to protect Aurora.

In the past, he would still give some knights to protect his daughter.

Those were also excellent knights.

And when Aurora was staying in White Family’s Territory, Duke White also sent many people to protect her.

These knights were not bad.

But as many assassinations attempts happened, Duke White became lazier to send more knights to Aurora. It seemed that he felt these knights would only die and waste White Dukedom’s money.

So he didn’t bother to send more knights.

Aurora didn’t seem to care and had her own people who would protect her when she was in the White Family’s Territory.

For three years, the relationship between father and daughter became worse or even nonexistent.

And now, these knights were only listening to Aurora because of threat.

How ridiculous.

"Do we really have to do this?" One of the knights asked.

"If you don’t want to be punished later, you should follow the order," the second knight said lightly.

The nobility family has never been simple.

If they wished to survive, they would have to follow through the rules and everything. With this matter had already been brought to the surface, there would be many people watching them.

They had to perform well.

Not for the sake of this mission but for the sake of themselves.

"That..."

"Don’t worry, it’ll be easy," the third knight consoled the first knight.

The first knight could only nod and followed after the other two knights.

Behind them, Prince Lester was watching and listened to their conversation. He showed no emotions on his face and only silently followed them.

If they didn’t do their work well, Prince Lester would make a move.

But if they did their job well, then he would pretend he didn’t exist.

...

This kind of investigation didn’t really need a long time.

The identity of the man was immediately known because the number of residents in the kingdom was not that large. And those in the Capital City would be recorded.

From this, it was made known that his family did receive a large sum of money not long ago and tried to escape.

But they were already apprehended.

Aurora received the result of the investigation within two days and brought the evidences to Crown Prince Edward and the others in class.

As for why the class?

It was to make sure many people listened in.

"Your Highness, have you received the result from Sir Louis?" Aurora asked when they were in the classroom.

The other students in the classroom subconsciously stayed silent when they heard Aurora’s words. They knew very well that Aurora should be referring to the investigation about the matter of that man who spread rumors some time ago.

And at this moment, Adela was in the classroom too.

Ever since she was allowed to raise one class and stayed in the same classroom with Crown Prince Edward, she always sat beside Crown Prince Edward.

The others were sitting on the other side or behind him.

Crown Prince Edward frowned. "I see it."

Louis had shown it to him not long ago, saying that he had to know this. And when he read the report, he knew that Aurora was right.

But even if he knew that she was right, he didn’t feel happy. There was some relief in his heart and the other half was displeasure. He didn’t like it when he though that he would be the main topic of discussion once again.
