Chapter 179: Heartfelt Smile

"Yes!"

The four of them sat on the cloth and started to eat the food prepared by Les. Well, Aurora also prepared some food, but it didn’t look that appetizing. Out of politeness, they still tasted it, but well, it was not really good.

Aurora herself also tried it, but then put it down.

She felt that she didn’t have much talent to cook. Besides, this was also the first time she tried to do it. It was not like she has interest in cooking either.

With Aurora’s insistences, these people all sat down near Aurora and didn’t really distance themselves due to their statuses.

They felt a bit uncomfortable at first.

But afterwards, they just sat down to eat.

It was fun.

"Your cooking is still the best, Les," Aurora sincerely praised.

"I’m glad you like it, Miss." Les smiled brightly. As Aurora’s maidservants, Les naturally knew Aurora’s taste and preferences. She made sure that the food prepared for their sudden picnic today would be up for Aurora’s taste.

And seeing Aurora so happy, Les also felt really comfortable.

It was rare to see Aurora so relaxed and happy like this.

Even though there might be some dangers from them stopping midway like this, but to be able to see Aurora being so comfortable and happy, the others decided not to mention it and destroy the atmosphere.

Though, William still passed a glance at Prince Lester.

Prince Lester nodded.

The two of them still paid attention to their surroundings to make sure that no threat came up. There were not many people whom Aurora bring with her because the smaller the group, the better the concealment would be.

But at the same time, if they were found, the amount of work needed for guarding will also be higher.

Thankfully, these two knights were all very capable.

They would be able to handle it.

"You should eat more too," Aurora said when she saw the two knights.

Of course, Aurora knew what they were worried about but at this moment, Aurora didn’t want to think about those things. She has been shacked and burdened with a lot of responsibility over the years.

It was time for her to relax a bit.

Why can’t she?

She was no longer a noble and those people were the ones who kicked her out. Even if they wanted to blame her, they couldn’t.

When Aurora thought about this, her smile become even brighter.

In this matter, she would be standing on the higher moral grounds and if they were to ask her to come back, they would not have any sufficient reasons to do so.

Ah~

How comfortable.

"Yes, Miss," William and Prince Lester responded and started to eat more.

But after eating, they stayed a bit further and looked around.

It seemed that not many people knew about Aurora’s disappearance, which allowed the current situation to happen.

It was truly... calm.

So calm that it felt a bit unreal.

"It’s peaceful," Aurora murmured.

Over the years, Aurora was so busy with so many things that she almost had no time for herself. The little time when she could rest was only when she was sleeping. But even that was not for long.

When it was time to wake up, she would be woken up and then faced with many things from the others who came to give report to her.

It has always been so busy.

But now, she didn’t have to do anything.

When Aurora thought about this, the corner of her lips couldn’t help but curl up even more.

It was rare for her to feel peaceful and calm like this. But from now, this should be the atmosphere that accompanied her the most.

No one would be able to force her to do what she didn’t want to do anymore.

Her preparations have been set in place.

All that left was for her to walk and follow through this path.

William laughed. "There’s no knight chasing. They should not have known that you escaped to the north, Miss."

White Family’s territory was further down to the south.

Other people might think that Aurora would escape in the direction of White Family’s territory. After all, she did spend three years there and more familiar with the areas.

But Aurora did the opposite.

She went to the north that should have been unfamiliar to her.

The two knights were still guarding but at this moment, they realized that not many people would be able to guess where Aurora was heading. So even if they wanted to send some people to chase after Aurora, it would not be so easy.

"That’s good." Les was relieved that no one come chasing after them. After all, she hoped that Aurora could be free and no longer be bound like before. It was distressing to see Aurora have to do things that she didn’t want to do.

"Yes, it is."

Aurora looked into the diastase and felt the wind blowing on her face.

It felt cool to touch.

She closed her eyes and enjoyed this rare moment of peace while the others sat not far from Aurora. They knew that they had to go as fast as possible, but they also didn’t want to break Aurora’s mood.

So they ended up sitting in silence.

’What would await me in this path?’

Everything would be new and different from before but there was not going to be anyone else to tell her what she had to do.

She will have to forge her own path.

A path that truly belonged to her and bring her to the future she wanted.

After a moment, Aurora opened her eyes again. Her purple eyes flickered slightly as she looked at the distance, seemingly seeing something but not quiet at the same time.

"Miss..."

"I’m fine." Aurora smiled and looked at Prince Lester.

"We should get going after this," Prince Lester reminded.

Aurora nodded. "Yes."

They finished their food and clean it up before going in the carriage once more.

It was time to go.
