Villain Princess.
Chapter 248: Date?

Chapter 248: Date?

"No need." Aurora shook her head. "Let’s walk to the square."

Walk to the square?

"Yes, Miss." Prince Lester didn’t know what Aurora wanted to see, but he would accompany her if she wanted to.

There was no need for him to question her actions.

Aurora changed her clothes so that it would not be so conspicuous. Right now, she looked like an ordinary villager and she also asked Prince Lester to wear ordinary clothes. Aside from looking slightly outstanding, the two of them could really pass as ordinary people.

Satisfied with the change in her appearance, Aurora made her way to the square with Prince Lester walking behind her.

The Red Kingdom is different from the Yellow Kingdom.

First of all, the road was bigger, which meant that there were more carriages passing by from time to time. Aurora could see that many of these carriages belong to the nobles based on the emblem outside the carriage, though.

There were also many people who were walking around the street. They didn’t seem to be affected by the fact that the Red Kingdom had just won against the Ice Kingdom.

Well, the war between these two kingdoms have happened every few years and could last for a long time. However, there were no situation where the enemies reached the Red Kingdom’s Capital City.

For the people who lived in the Capital City, the only influence was the price of goods that was spiking up to the point that they would feel it was difficult to maintain their lives.

"The prices for various things are still pretty high," Aurora commented as she walked down the street.

As she had a guild on her own, Aurora had gotten used to pay attention to the pricing in the market. Because only by relying on the difference between the price of the two different places would it be possible for them to make profit.

It was the basic knowledge.

"During your time here, do you have time to go out and take a walk?" Aurora suddenly asked.

During his time here?

Prince Lester’s face darkened slightly when he remembered the days he spent in the Red Kingdom. Neither Prince Brian or Prince Charles would make his life easy. Not to mention, the king seemed to condone these two to do as they wished.

At the same time, Prince Lester never got out of the palace ground.

No matter what, his status at that time was a war prisoner.

How could they let a war prisoner walked down the street as he wished?

He was confined inside the palace, never allowed to see the world outside. If not because of Aurora’s action to bring him out, Prince Lester would never make it out of that place for his entire life.

Perhaps, he might even die there.

He didn’t know.

"No, I have never walked around here, Miss," Prince Lester replied.

After following Aurora, Prince Lester had never gone to the Red Kingdom ever again. If he had to say, everything here did look unfamiliar for Prince Lester.

"I see." Aurora nodded. "In that case, let’s buy some snacks to eat~."

"Miss?"

Prince Lester watched as Aurora went to the stalls and bought some snacks there. He didn’t know the name of these snacks, but Aurora seemed to be quite proficient in this.

Her action also didn’t show any restraint that should have belonged to nobles.

"For you." Aurora raised one of the snack in the cone shape in front of Prince Lester. She noticed that his eyes seemed to be full of surprise as he looked in her direction.

Aurora blinked her eyes before smiling. "Are you surprised?"

"A bit," Prince Lester said as he took the cone from Aurora.

"I learn this from my sister," Aurora replied calmly and turned around while nibbling on the snack.

When Aurora brought Adela out to see the Sun Festival, she saw Adela acted like this and saw many other people were also similar with Adela. But those people were usually the commoners and not the nobility.

At that time, Aurora somewhat understood that the attitude between nobles and commoners were very different. The commoners would not intentionally follow the etiquette.

While it was difficult for Aurora to change her body language, she could change her speaking language.

In this way, she would not look that strange when blending with the commoners.

"I see." Prince Lester narrowed his eyes. He felt that Aurora’s statement was a bit strange because Adela should also be a noble like Aurora. How could her action be similar to how commoner was?

Because Prince Lester was used to follow Aurora, he didn’t have much contact with Adela, so he didn’t know that this Adela was indeed a bit different.

Of course, even if he knew, Prince Lester would not think too much.

There was no point in dwelling in this matter anyway.

Aurora didn’t explain to Prince Lester.

She couldn’t possibly say that her sister had changed greatly at some point of time, right? There was no conclusive evidences and Aurora didn’t want to be treated as a strange person because of this matter.

With that, their conversation stopped and they walked while eating their snacks.

Bypassing various stores, Aurora would stop for a while to check the price and the goods before leaving again.

"Do you not plan to come inside, Miss?" Prince Lester asked.

"No." Aurora shook her head. Right now, she was dressed as nothing more than a commoner. If she were to enter the stores and tried to ask about the high end goods from their stores, they might even kick her out.

Because most commoners would not have so much money.

Only merchants would have more money but even merchants would not dress up as simple as Aurora. Because these merchants would try their best to make sure they look the best when they came to the stores to strike a deal.

"I just need the general prices for now. The luxury price is always open for negotiation." Aurora chuckled.

There was no standard price for the high end goods. There were some of them that were much higher than others because the quality was higher and there were also those that was priced more moderately.

It usually depended on the quality and also the store’s brand.

If the store’s brand was really good, then there was nothing wrong with them rising the price or something like that.

Anyway, the noble usually didn’t lack money.

Of course, that was excluding the time when they were in crisis because their territory was in trouble or something.

Prince Lester nodded at Aurora’s words and continued to follow her.

"Let’s buy a few more snacks. The snacks in the Red Kingdom are different from the Yellow Kingdom." Aurora’s eyes were attracted to the other snacks there.

"It’s ice cream," Prince Lester recognized one of them.

"Do you know that one?"

"It’s from Ice Kingdom and the Red Kingdom might have imitated them after learning during the war time," Prince Lester replied.

Before he was the captive prince in the Red Kingdom, he was the prince in the Ice Kingdom. He still knew some of the snacks from the Ice Kingdom along with some basic knowledge."

If he was asked about many complicated things, he couldn’t answer, though.

He was still very young when he was brought to the Red Kingdom, so there was a limit to how much he learnt about the Ice Kingdom as a whole.

"I’ll try it."

Prince Lester watched as Aurora walked forward again and silently followed her within a certain distance. He didn’t need to be right beside Aurora to protect her but as long as she was within the reach, it would be fine.

Before long, Aurora had come back with two small bowls of ice cream. She handed one of it to Prince Lester.

"Miss, you don’t have to buy my portions," Prince Lester said in helpless tone, but he still accepted the bowl.

"It’s better to eat with someone than alone," Aurora replied calmly and continued walking. "Come on, it’s not done yet."

"Yes, Miss." Prince Lester’s eyes narrowed slightly before he returned to normal and followed Aurora slowly.

For Aurora, she has been alone for a long time. Her eating time was often separated from her family members because she was busy with her study and so on. Because of this, it might feel lonely for Aurora.

But eating with her family members were not exactly the most comfortable thing for Aurora either. After all, those people were not exactly kind to Aurora.

Now that she was no longer part of the White Family, Prince Lester could see that Aurora was smiling more and more.

Perhaps, not being a noble would be a more suitable path for Aurora.

Because if she continued being a noble, it would only restrain her and prevent her from doing what she truly wanted.

Prince Lester felt that the current Aurora is the best.
