Chapter 204: The Next Step (3)

She knew it might happen because the situation between the two kingdoms were not good after they found out about the mine’s existence. Coupled with the few other trades that was siding more with the Sand Kingdom, conflicts would be inevitable.

Aurora herself was confident that the Sand Kingdom would not start any war if she was the one in charge because she knew other things that the Sand Kingdom valued and needed more than the mine.

But Queen Ella and Prime Minister Lat didn’t know.

Since that was the case, they had to use the simplest method to solve the problem, which was through direct fight like this.

It was indeed the simplest method.

But it was also the method that would cost them the most. From manpower to other resources that they would use during the war, there was a large amount of it and it wouldn’t be easy for them to solve the problem without wasting a lot of these important resources.

Aurora disliked the war.

She felt that only stupid people would directly choose war when there were other options for them.

But then again, Aurora would also refuse if she was asked to be the one to take care of the negotiation. She had no interest to help the Yellow Kingdom again after what they had done before.

In any case, the war between the Sand Kingdom and the Yellow Kingdom should last for some time.

Calculating the amount of food that Duke White bought, he should also guess that the war would not end without at least a few months of conflict. Whether it could be faster or not depended whether either side had more advantages in the war.

Duke Sun was the spectator in this battle.

With Duke Yelan being ordered to step forward, he should be very happy as he didn’t have to be the one in charge at all.

And during this period of time, he even have the time to arrange for his son’s marriage.

Aurora’s lips twitched when she thought about this.

Duke Sun is quite... leisurely.

But since he truly didn’t have to worry too much about the battle grounds and the result of the war itself, Duke Sun was indeed qualified to become the spectator in this battle.

As for Annelie and Leons’ marriage, Aurora would not attend.

The marriage would be held in the Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City.

There were still many people who wanted to take Aurora’s lives in the Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City. If she were go to there, she would be the same as sending herself to the wolf’s den and she might not even be able to get out alive.

Unless Aurora wanted to seek death, it was not advised for her to go to the Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City.

At this time, Aurora had walked out of the mansion and took a walk around the area.

There were some servants working here and there. When they saw Aurora, they would stop and greeted her politely.

The atmosphere was somewhat similar to the time when Aurora was staying in Duke White’s mansion.

It was respectful.

Yet, at the same time, Aurora could also sense that the attitude of these servants to her was a bit different from the attitude of the servants when she was still in the White Family Residence.

’What’s the difference?’ Aurora mulled to herself and headed to the garden.

There were garden all around the mansion that was maintained by the gardeners. These gardens contained various types of flowers that looked very beautiful and suitable to grow in this temperature and weather.

"Miss."

Aurora nodded at the gardener and then looked at the plants in front of her while thinking.

There seemed to be something that she missed.

Ah...

It was the degree of fear and restraint.

Duke White, as someone who held the highest nobility title in the Yellow Kingdom below the Royal Family, was naturally someone who was feared by many people. Not many people were wiling to interact with Duke White if it was unnecessary.

After all, they were afraid of offending him without knowing why.

On the other hand, the people in this territory seemed to be more friendly to a certain degree.

Perhaps, it was because Aurora didn’t look scary?

Of course if they thought that Aurora is harmless, then they definitely have some problems with their eyes.

Aurora finally reached the garden.

Looking at the beautiful flowers around her, Aurora stopped.

Now that she thought about it, she had almost never stopped when she was doing things. Again and again, studying and working almost every single moment in her life.

It was really tiring and exhausting.

*swish*

The wind blows gently.

Aurora looked around her and found a place to sit down.

This garden looked really beautiful and Aurora could see various types of flowers that were carefully cultivated in the garden. There were not many people who came here since there were not many gardeners employed by Aurora to maintain the mansion’s garden.

’It’s really peaceful.’

Aurora closed her eyes and leaned against the tree behind her.

When was the last time she went out to have a walk and not training swordsmanship?

It seemed to have never been done before.

Because her mother would never let her ’laze’ around nor take a break in the slightest bit. For her to be the crown princess, she has to be the best and there was no exception.

Right now, it was really calm and peaceful.

There was nothing that Aurora needed to worry about.

There were knights who will protect her safety and there was also Les who would remind her when there was something she has to do later. Prince Lester would also come to her when there was anything urgent, but the work she has to do was much less than how it used to be.

For now, Aurora only wanted to rest.

This place seemed to be really suitable for her to rest.

From closing her eyes, Aurora slowly fell asleep.
