Chapter 219: Duke White’s Trouble

Not only that, Duchess Isabella has been pestering him lately because she wanted to buy new dresses and jewelries to attend more parties. There were many parties going on outside, but Duchess Isabella couldn’t attend them.

She could only attend some of them while reusing her dress.

For Duchess Isabella who never have any problem with money, this was a very uncomfortable thing.

She couldn’t accept it.

So she kept on pestering Duke White to get money.

She wanted more money!

As a result, Duke White grew even more irritable because of Duchess Isabella’s action.

He also realized that things couldn’t go on like this. Since he didn’t know much about how to earn money, he could only turn to the Head Butler.

"Master, do you not remember your education?" The Head Butler asked carefully.

Duke White’s face darkened when he thought about this.

When the Duke White was still young, his father taught him many things. It was very similar to how he arranged Aurora to be educated because he hoped that someone could replace him to do these.

He was not capable enough to understand what his father wanted him to understand.

Over the years, Duke White could barely complete his study and knew the basics of what he should do if he were to inherit the duke’s position.

But the previous Duke White had arranged for the Head Butler to stay in this position so that he could help Duke White manage the territory well.

The previous Duke White should have known that his son was not capable enough to inherit his position. But he couldn’t possibly let this position fall into the hands of other people aside from his descendants.

In this way, Duke White is still the duke.

The Head Butler had to help him so that the White Dukedom didn’t fall into ruins.

Honestly, Aurora’s appearance made the Head Butler saw light again. Because her ability made him remember her grandfather almost all the time.

But...

This dream has to be shattered in the end because of the incidents that follows afterwards.

The Head Butler sighed deeply.

And Duke White was still remembering the shame he experienced when he was young. Because of the harsh training that the previous Duke White gave him, Duke White had to study at all times and cried many times.

He hated those times greatly.

But it was necessary for the future duke to know these things, so Duke White could only spend his time reviewing as much as possible until he fell sick.

After he was sick, the study was somewhat lessened, but it was still too much for Duke White.

He couldn’t accomplish the goal that the teachers and father set for him.

Those were his dark days.

Duke White thought that these sets of education was simply impossible to complete. But when his daughter was three years old and started the education, Duke White realized that he was the stupid one.

His daughter was able to complete the exercise and seemed to be much better than him.

So much that there was no doubt that if his father was still alive, Aurora would be made to be his successor right away.

Duke White would be lying if he said that he was not jealous.

Seeing how Aurora was able to complete the education and standards by the teachers, he felt that his daughter was better than him. This made him feel really complicated and he left her education in the hand of Duchess White.

Anyway, out of sight, out of mind.

As long as he didn’t see Aurora, he would not think about this matter.

Later on, Duchess White asked for his permission to nominate Aurora to be Crown Prince Edward’s fiancée. The crown prince was of the same age as Aurora, so their age was very suitable. They could also cultivate their relationship in the academy and it would be the best if the two of them could get close.

As for the successor of White Dukedom?

Duke White is still young and he could stay as the head of the family until Aurora had children. One of the children would be the next king while the other children could be the White Dukedom’s successor.

And if it was impossible, then they could also find a capable man for Adela to become the next Duke White.

In this way, there was no need to worry about the successor at all.

The proposal was good and Duke White think it was feasible.

As for Adela becoming the next White Family’s head?

It was impossible.

Adela has a weak body and often fell sick when she was young. With such a weak body, it was simply impossible for Adela to follow the harsh set of training to become the next head of White Dukedom.

After Adela started training, Duke White also realized that this Adela was more similar to him.

Similar as in, she was stupider.

She couldn’t complete the set of training that was arranged for her. Many questions were also often wrong and not like Aurora who could remember everything almost every time she finished.

The performance of his second daughter made Duke White’s heart feel more balanced.

He has been wondering how could such a monster be born from him but seeing Adela was more normal, Duke White felt more comfortable.

It seemed that Aurora was more of an accident.

Seeing Adela also struggling with her study, Duke White would treat her kindly. Because he knew that he himself had suffered greatly in the past because of this education standard that was set for them.

"I remember." Duke White looked at the Head Butler with displeasure written on his face. "Does that have anything to do with it?"

"Master, you have to remember that it’s not that easy to make money. There are already many businesses under White Family but more than half of them are unprofitable," The Head Butler said bluntly.

Nobles could also do business.

There was a limit to what type and the number, but most of the nobles would never bypass that number in their life, so they usually didn’t care.
