Chapter 178: Picnic

Chapter 178: Picnic

In the past three years, Aurora did what her mother told her to do.

Duchess Isabelle wanted Aurora to help facilitate the trade between the nobles and also the trade with the other nobles from other kingdoms.

While Aurora was a bit resistant, she still did what her mother asked her to do.

Of course, she would not leave the White Family territory during that period of time. There were already many people who tried to kill her when she was within the territory. If she were to go out, the number might even increase exponentially.

Aurora still treasured her life.

She would not take unnecessary risk.

"Let’s stop here for a while," Aurora gave the order.

"Yes, Miss."

William didn’t understand why Aurora wanted to stop here. Thankfully, there was no knight who chased after them after they escaped for the entire night.

Honestly, he was also quite tired after the entire night of driving.

"You can rest now." Aurora glanced at William.

She herself slept well in the carriage last night. But the others couldn’t really sleep because they were driving the carriage and also responsible for her safety.

In the first place, four people didn’t seem to be enough to truly cover everything they needed. But Aurora didn’t really trust others, so she would rather bring as few people as possible.

These three were the few people whom Aurora truly trust.

"Miss, do you want to eat?" Les quickly climbed down from the supplies carriage and asked.

"I want to try cooking," Aurora replied.

"Ah, Miss?"

"I haven’t tried it before, so I want to."

In the past, Aurora was too busy doing various other things that she didn’t have time for herself. She couldn’t do what she wanted to do and had to do things that she had to do.

Now that she was no longer bound by the stupid nobility and so on, Aurora wanted to try doing other things.

First, she could try cooking.

Les could only hand the equipment over to Aurora and then taught Aurora.

On the side, William leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes. He was really tired and with Prince Lester there, he could sleep first and then switch the task with Prince Lester.

Prince Lester himself was sitting on the grass, watching as Aurora learned how to cook from Les. The movements were jerky and it was clear that Aurora could barely do it, but she was smiling.

The smile looked much better than the smile she used to show in front of the other nobles before.

Because this was a smile from the bottom of her heart.

Even though Prince Lester had followed Aurora for a long time, he realized that it was rare for Aurora to smile from the bottom of her heart. She seemed as if she was forcing herself to smile most of the time.

The smile never truly reached her eyes.

But now, she was smiling brightly.

Perhaps, the nobility was truly a restraint for some people as they couldn’t do what they wanted to do. And when they were free from this restraint, they would truly smile from the bottom of their heart.

But there were also others who truly enjoyed their lives as a noble.

It might also have something to do with their own live experiences and what they have to do in their lives.

Prince Lester looked away and instead looked at the scenery outside. They stopped by the hill, which has beautiful view. They could also see the road not far from here, it was heading to the north where there were several other noble’s territory.

One of them was naturally Celeste Family’s territory.

It was Lucy’s Family.

The residence Aurora prepared was not within Celeste Family’s territory, though. But it was not far from there.

"Hmm, it’s done." Aurora looked at the dishes in front of her that was somewhat black because she cooked it for a bit too long. Well, it should still be edible, right?

Aurora was not sure.

"Don’t worry, the taste is good, Miss," Les said while giving thumbs up. Internally, she wanted to cry because some parts felt bitter. It seemed that she wouldn’t allow Aurora to get close to the kitchen again in the future.

Aurora saw Les’s actions and felt amused. This girl was saying one thing but from her reaction, it should have been the opposite.

"If it’s not good, you can just say it." Aurora shook her head. "Prepare some bread and snacks. Let’s have a picnic together."

Picnic?

Les looked around and nodded. This place seemed to be a good place for them to have a picnic if they wanted to.

"Yes, Miss! I’ll prepare everything!"

"You don’t have to call me ’Miss’ anymore," Aurora reminded. "I’m no longer a noble by now."

It didn’t seem to be suitable to call her as Miss anymore. After all, this call first started because Aurora is the eldest lady of White Dukedom. As the duke’s daughter, it was only natural for others to call her as Miss.

But now that she was no longer the eldest lady of White Dukedom, it didn’t seem to be that suitable anymore.

"For me, you’ll always be my Master, Miss," Les said solemnly.

She had followed Aurora for a long time and only wanted to serve Aurora for the rest of her life. No one could convince her otherwise.

"Alright." Aurora didn’t force Les to follow her thoughts. Anyway, if Les wanted to call her that way, Aurora had no reason to refuse either.

"Thank you, Miss." Les smiled brightly.

Aurora nodded and turned to look at William and Prince Lester. "Come and join in to eat."

"Yes, Miss."

William had taken an hour to two of nap. He now felt better and more energetic than before.

Prince Lester also nodded and stepped forward.

Les prepared a cloth for them to sit down and then arranged the food.

"Let’s eat, there’s no need to care too much about etiquette."
