Chapter 149: Do You Know?

"So I’m correct," Aurora said with a smile. "Someone really did pay him a lot of money."

"Yes." Crown Prince Edward was sullen. "But I don’t understand why he agreed."

Why?

There were many reasons.

It could be that he cared for his family members or it was because he knew that he would die soon. Perhaps, he would want his death to be meaningful rather than a useless and normal one when he had the chance for it.

Many people were living at the very bottom and had to struggle so hard.

The commoners were different from nobles as they couldn’t do many things and had to be careful when they were dealing with the nobility, law enforcement, and many others.

It was to the point that they could even be caught for some small misdeeds that would have been if they were nobles.

"Is it important?" Aurora asked.

"Yes?" Crown Prince Edward was not sure.

Aurora shook her head. "With this rumor clarified, those who dared to speak about it again will be sent to the jail. This should be enough for us. Why bother finding out their purposes in detail?"

Hearing this sentence from Aurora, Louis knew that her purpose of coming was simply to say this. It was quite a threat.

But...

Would others listen?

Glancing at the other classmates who came from the nobility background too, it was unlikely that they would listen to her words.

At the same time, Aurora was also telling the truth.

The nobles were selfish and many of them could easily find someone to do their dirty deeds with the money they held. Who would go and do it personally if they could ask someone else?

It was just a matter of paying some money, which they could definitely afford.

They didn’t have to risk their lives at all.

Of course, if the transaction was found out later, they would be in some troubles. But with some money and so on, it would be easy to clear up the problems in the end.

"I see..." Crown Prince Edward seemed to understand.

These people have nothing to do with him and they were only being used. Even if he knew the reasons, it would not be of use for him at all.

In that case, why bother finding out their reasons?

It would only make their mood turned worse than before if they were moved or anything.

"I’ll be going now," Aurora said with a smile and turned around without hesitation.

"Tsk." Crown Prince Edward clicked his tongue.

Adela looked at this scene and felt that something was wrong. While the events that occurred were similar to what happened in the game, the sentences that Aurora said were different and there was a strong sense of disobedience that Adela couldn’t explain.

At this time, she even felt that there was something wrong with Aurora but she couldn’t tell what it was.

Ah, her brain was really not good about this.

After that, Adela turned to look at Crown Prince Edward and said, "Sister might be anxious to clarify this matter since it involves her, Crown Prince Edward."

"Um."

Adela looked at Crown Prince Edward whose attention had turned to her and then continued to talk in accordance to the game.

It was quite interesting to think that she was really bad at learning but when it came to this otome game, she could remember them like the back of her hand. Moreover, she could also remember most of the sentences to these target characters.

The background story were mostly forgotten, though.

Louis didn’t pay attention to Adela because he also felt that the way Aurora came to them and left quickly was also strange. It seemed that she only came to them to say that sentence to them.

But why?

It felt wrong.

As someone who used his brain most of the time, Louis really felt that something must be wrong.

But what?

Louis analyzed Aurora’s action and move when she came to them.

But before he could think of anything, the teacher had arrive and the class is starting. He could only put this matter to the back of his head and stopped thinking about.

...

Aurora left the classroom and went to a different classroom. She had asked for different schedule for today by switching the class in order not to be in the same class as Crown Prince Edward.

The threat that she said was actually not very useful.

Even if they didn’t dare to say it publicly in fear that she would hear them talked about it, but it didn’t mean that they couldn’t talk about it in private. After al, no one would know what they were talking in private as long as their partner didn’t talk about it when they came out.

And these people naturally refused to talk about this matter because they could be dragged down by it.

This was the scary thing about public opinion.

Aurora took a deep breath.

This matter was easy for her to resolve because these knights were investigating things, but Aurora knew that it would not be so easy in the future.

It was not done yet.

After the class was over, Annelie came to see Aurora.

"Why are you here, Lady Annelie?" Aurora asked with a helpless tone.

Annelie didn’t immediately answer and instead looked in Aurora’s direction. "Do you know that there would be someone who talked about you?"

The speed was very fast.

From the moment these knights moved until they figured out the man’s identities to the past relationships and so on, only three days have passed.

It was precisely because of this matter that Annelie was suspicious.

Did Aurora already know that this would happen?

"I’m not omnipotent, Lady Annelie." Aurora shook her head helplessly. If she knew what they were going to do exactly, she wouldn’t be helpless to stop them.

What she could do was to lure them to make a move and eliminate them one by one.

Of course, she couldn’t tell this to Annelie.
