Chapter 209: Worth it

"These fishes are really small." Aurora looked at it and then picked up some of them. The dried fish were really crunch when it was eaten and it tasted really good. Aurora’s eyes lit up.

"It’s really good, but this wouldn’t disturb the ecosystem, right?" Aurora was a bit worried because these fishes were really small. If they all ate the small fishes, then they might destroy the balance here and this was not what Aurora wanted.

Les smiled. "Don’t worry miss, this fish had already grown up and the size of the adults are only at this size..."

As Les explained what the people here told her, Aurora also nodded in understanding. She smiled happily and then said, "In that case, I’ll accept these happily."

"Yes, Miss."

Les slowly retreated and before she closed the door, she could see Aurora was happily eating the snacks and there was a smile on the corner of her lips. Seeing Aurora so happy made Les also happy.

Because it was rare to see Aurora smiled so brightly in the past.

But in this place, Aurora slowly but surely showed more and more genuine expression rather than the fake ones from before.

This made Les really happy.

Even if Aurora was no longer using her original identity, but this identity bring her more happiness.

So it was worth it.

...

Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City.

It was already the time for Marquess Brown’s tea party and many people from high society came to pay a visit. The lowest from them were the count and there were no one lower than that.

The people who came here were already used to Marquess Brown’s habit and knew very well that it was hard for Marquess Brown to invite anyone from lower nobility than a count. Unless that person was very remarkable or had something special then everyone should be above count’s rank.

It was also because of this that they were all very respectful to each other.

Everyone here were of high rank and they were not so much ’nobler’ than the others. Those of marquis’s rank were all respectful to Marquess Brown because they knew that this woman had a much more influence compared to them. Those of count’s rank were respectful because they were of lower rank.

"Marquess Brown, is there any special guest today?" One of the ladies asked curiously. She saw that the arrangement seemed to put someone else in the master seat instead of Marquess Brown as usual.

"Duchess Isabella will be here," Marquess Brown replied with a faint smile. "Her carriage has arrived."

"Duchess Isabella?"

The people in the room had intrigued look.

They all knew that these two women would still attend each other’s parties from time to time. But they would not always be present because of their bad relationship with each other.

Since they couldn’t see eye to eye most of the times, they shouldn’t try to make troubles at all time.

"I see."

They all saw as the carriage from Duke White stopped and Duchess Isabella walked out with Adela following behind her mother.

Duke White didn’t come.

To be exact, he was so angry with Duchess Isabella that he didn’t want to do anything else. This wife of his only cared about her image and the party, coercing him to give her some money for this party.

It was only after Duke White only allowed her to buy one dress that Duchess Isabella stopped.

While Duchess Isabella was actually hoping that she could get a full of set of everything, she knew that Duke White’s situation was indeed not very good. She could only be patient with it and try her best to make a good use of this tea party.

Anyway, Duchess Isabella would never let anyone knew about Duke White’s real situation.

Financial deficit?

She knew nothing!

In this way, Duchess Isabella still looked as glamorous as she used to be but the gems that she was wearing were the few things that she bought a long time ago but were recently quite trending again. She wanted to show that she was still good and through using gems that she hadn’t used for a long time, there wouldn’t be many people who noticed it.

This was Duchess Isabella’s plan.

Unfortunately, many people would pay attention to the famous socialite like Duchess Isabella and Marquess Brown. The two of them were very careful in their way of dressing because they knew that for them to hold the top position, they had to make sure their dresses, jewelries, and others were all the best and the latest trend.

Otherwise, they would not be able to hold onto this position.

"Mother, I’ll go inside first."

"Yes." Duchess Isabella walked to Marquess Brown and smiled confidently. "It’s been a while, Marquess Brown."

"Yes, it is, Duchess Isabella." Marquess Brown nodded and looked at Duchess Isabella’s attire. "It seems that Duke White is still very generous to you, Duchess Isabella."

"Of course." Duchess Isabella raised her chin higher.

"But your gems are the gems that you used to use last year?"

When this question was raised, Duchess Isabella’s expressions froze slightly. She underestimated these women’s memory. Even if there were a lot of gems, but Duchess Isabella would always use a new one and rarely wear the same one to two different parties unless it was a special type of gems.

Duchess Isabella looked at the noble woman who spoke and said, "You got it wrong. The design is only similar."

"Is it?" The noble woman had some doubts but she didn’t ask anymore.

Since the person in question had explained that way, it would be rude for her to pursue this matter any further.

"Let’s all go in." Marquess Brown looked at Duchess Isabella with intrigued expression. She had heard that Duke White was being called by the King a few times and was reprimanded. It seemed that Duchess Isabella was lying.

But there was no hard evidences.

Oh well, she was not in a hurry.

When it was time, this matter would be exposed.
