Chapter 167: Graduation Party (2)

Chapter 167: Graduation Party (2)

The graduation party continued.

But everyone could see that the atmosphere was not quite right.

Judging from how Crown Prince Edward’s face was so dark that it might resemble ink, they guessed that he couldn’t accept Aurora’s behavior of coming to the graduation party with her knight instead of coming here alone.

But if it was possible for them to come with others, who would want to come here alone?

No one was so stupid that they would pick that option.

Soon, it was time for dance.

Listening to the song at the side, the corner of Aurora’s lips curled up slightly. She wanted to see how Crown Prince Edward chose this time.

"May I have this dance?" Crown Prince Edward asked Adela when the song changed.

Adela, who has been anticipating this scene, smiled brightly and naturally accepted Crown Prince Edward’s hand.

She knew that the moment Crown Prince Edward asked her to dance, it meant that she was stable on his path. Because the first dance had to be done by those who were engaged, yet Crown Prince Edward asked Adela instead of Aurora.

After all, for those who were engaged, the first dance meant a lot. Of course, if one party was not present, then they didn’t have to do this.

Everyone here understood the etiquette and tradition.

But Crown Prince Edward purposely asked someone else for the dance, which meant that he didn’t treat Aurora as his fiancé anymore.

Many students understood this move.

Because they were all from the noble families and naturally received the strict education about this.

They knew very well what Crown Prince Edward’s move represented.

But none of them spoke it out.

"Tsk, tsk." Aurora clicked her tongue but the smile never left her face. She was leaning on the wall beside the balcony and watched as Crown Prince Edward and Adela were dancing with each other.

If she had to say, their dancing skills were not that good.

This was something she had noticed when she danced with Crown Prince Edward many years ago. But she didn’t say anything and instead helped to lead him since it concerned their faces.

Now, Aurora watched their dance.

It had improved slightly.

But only a bit.

Their talent is not really good.

"Miss, do you want to dance?" Prince Lester asked. He was staying not far from Aurora and could see Aurora was looking in the direction of Crown Prince Edward and Adela. At this time, he wondered if she wanted to dance.

Dance?

Aurora glanced at the two figure in the middle of the dance floor and shook her head. "I have no interest in dancing."

If she wanted to dance, she would have gone there and asked Crown Prince Edward.

But really...

There was truly no point for her to confront Crown Prince Edward. From the very beginning, she had no feelings for him. The engagement was nothing more than a political marriage to tie the two families together.

Whether it was her or Adela, there didn’t seem to be any differences.

When Aurora saw how Adela looked at Crown Prince Edward, she also knew that her ’sister’ wanted this man. Either it was because of him as a person or because of the position behind him.

Either way, it didn’t seem to matter that much.

Because Aurora knew very well that whichever it was, Crown Prince Edward turned his attention to Adela too.

Without the intention from both sides, how could this dance incident be staged?

Aurora knew this as well.

She understood everything very well.

"Yes, Miss," Prince Lester replied and then didn’t say anything else. His dark blue eyes were looking at the two figure who were dancing in the middle and there was a faint killing intent flashed within his eyes.

He knew very well that Aurora had worked hard in the past few years.

And it was all for this very moment.

For these two people who were currently dancing and enjoying their lives on the stage.

"You know, even if you work hard for your entire life, it doesn’t mean that you’ll be rewarded in the end," Aurora said slowly.

She worked hard for almost her entire life to become the perfect duke daughter and also the crown princess. Every single day, she was asked to study and work to the point where she wanted to vomit blood.

There was no freedom, no choices given to her, and there were only orders for her to continue.

Aurora had to follow the arrangement if she wanted to survive.

No, she had to follow the order if she wished to live well.

Because if she didn’t follow the order, it was estimated that countless types of punishment would come to her, which would only hurt her.

Sometimes, it felt quite ridiculous.

She worked hard in order to stay in that position and not to embarrass the family behind her and the Royal Family’s face, but they could throw her away immediately without hesitation when her work was done.

From the very beginning, they never saw her as a person, did they?

"What’s the point of working hard if everything comes to nothing?" Aurora whispered in a low voice as the song came to an end. She knew that it would soon be time for the announcement from Crown Prince Edward.

Because when she read the notes from Adela, she had noticed the very important event that Adela marked boldly at the very end.

The broken engagement event.

A really ridiculous thing.

"At least, everything I have studied and experienced can be used for the next part of my life," Aurora said and slowly walked towards the middle.

There were many pain and sadness, but everything she has experienced was what allowed her to stand here like this now. In that way, no matter how painful it was, she accepted her entire past.

Prince Lester watched Aurora’s back and slowly lowered his head. He looked at his own hand and took a deep breath.
