Chapter 226: Aurora’s Negotiation with Count Celeste

Since there was no loss for him, he agreed.

And the result was surprisingly good.

Even Aurora didn’t expect that this sister of hers was still so bad and her mental quality hadn’t improved at all even after so many years. No one in the White Family seemed to see that Adela was truly not suited for high position.

But that girl’s ambition and greed was not small.

This should be a small lesson for Adela and will also slowly cut off Adela’s path of establishing herself in the high society.

For women in this era, having a place in the high society is very important.

Aurora had experienced it herself, so she knew about it.

And if Adela truly wanted to be a queen, she would need to think about it. Though, Aurora guessed that Adela might have long fallen before this problem was raised.

’Well, it didn’t matter that much anymore.’

This was just a small precaution in case Adela suddenly get some inspiration and become more capable.

She had to cut down the path from all angles.

Aurora smiled to herself and looked outside the carriage.

She would reach Celeste Family’s territory soon.

When she reached the territory, she would discuss the matter of building a road with Count Celeste. She hoped that he would agree with her request. Of course, Aurora would not do it for free.

There were also other things to discuss.

Another matter that was in Aurora’s mind was whether Lucy was here or not. The marriage between Leon and Annelie would take place soon, so if Lucy had departed earlier, it was not impossible for her to attend.

Of course, if the letter arrived late or she departed late, it would be impossible to go there.

Aurora also received an intimation.

But it was not an invitation for Aurora White. Rather, it was an invitation to Viscount Arn. In any case, Aurora had no plan to attend.

Unless the location for the marriage ceremony was somewhere else but the Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City.

In that case, Aurora still might come.

"Miss, we have arrived," Prince Lester informed. He was the one who came with Aurora again while William was taking care of another matter in the Viscount Arn’s territory.

"Yes."

Aurora came out of the carriage and looked at the mansion in front of her. The corner of her lips curled up slightly.

Count Celeste was known for being poor and unable to buy many things. It was said that due to protecting the border Count Celeste couldn’t afford many things and the territory was also very poor.

It was also because of this that many people didn’t have good impression of Lucy back then. They felt that she was not worthy to be associated with them. Coupled with the fact that Lucy’s etiquette was really bad, she really didn’t give people a good impression.

But looking at this mansion and the people who were living in Count Celeste’s territory, it was clear that everything was nothing but rumors.

The people under Count Celeste was living well.

Count Celeste was by no means a poor person.

He might simply disliked the noble society and because of the situation at the border, prioritized other things for his daughter’s education.

After looking at the mansion, Aurora looked at the butler who bowed and asked her to come inside.

"Please come with me, Viscountess Arn."

"Please lead me." Aurora nodded.

The butler then lead Aurora inside with Prince Lester following from behind. While Aurora did wear makeup to make her appearance slightly different, but it was not of much help.

Those who knew Aurora’s face would undoubtedly recognize her.

Though, there were not many people in this place who have ever met with Aurora before. After all, Aurora didn’t come to Count Celeste’s territory before. His territory has their own way of survival and didn’t really need various trades like many other territories.

Soon, Aurora reached the guest room.

"Master, Viscountess Arn is here."

"Please come in."

Count Celeste thought that the one who would come was Viscount Arn, but it was actually the viscountess. Not that it would make that much difference, though.

Aurora walked inside and saw Count Celeste and Lucy, who was sitting on the other side. Lucy’s eyes widened when she saw Aurora while Count Celeste was calm because he didn’t know Aurora’s appearance. He only felt a bit surprised because Aurora looked rather young.

"Viscountess Arn, it’s a pleasure to see you." Count Celeste smiled.

"It’s a pleasure to see you too, Count Celeste. I have heard many good things about you," Aurora replied with a smile.

Count Celeste laughed at Aurora’s words. Who didn’t like being praised?

But he also knew that this was nothing more than polite words. He knew himself well and that naturally included the fact that not many people were saying good things about him. They didn’t really like his straightforward personality and would feel that he was too uncouth.

Not that Count Celeste cared, though.

As long as these people didn’t make trouble with him, then Count Celeste was too lazy to deal with them too.

"I have some things to discuss with you, Count Celeste. I hope my arrival didn’t disturb you," Aurora said with an apologetic smile.

Count Celeste shook his head. Aurora had informed him about her arrival long before her real arrival. He could be prepared and for Count Celeste, it was already very polite and respectful.

"Not at all, Viscountess Arn." Count Celeste was smiling. He pointed in Lucy’s direction. "I hope that you don’t mind my daughter listening in. She’s already an adult and I need her to get acquainted with these matters sooner or later."

"Not at all, Count Celeste," Aurora replied and smiled in Lucy’s direction.

When Lucy saw Aurora’s smiling face, she knew very well that the person in front of her is definitely Aurora.

Having interact with Aurora several times in the past, Lucy knew Aurora very well.

She called out, "Aurora?"

"Lucy!" Count Celeste frowned at his daughter’s sudden words.

Lucy flinched a bit and then changed her words, "Lady Aurora?"

Aurora smiled. "Yes."
