Chapter 261: Questions

Chapter 261: Questions

The youngest knight in the Yellow Kingdom.

The young man who should have a great reputation and future was now missing.

The Davis Family has suffered after failing to contain those rebels and bandits. Of course, Aurora didn’t personally get involved in this. She simply leaked out some secret of the Davis Family to some people.

They were the one who made the move later on.

From her point of view, the Davis Family should have started to reconstruct their family in the Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City.

The other family members did do that.

But Benny was missing.

The last report stated that he had come to the Red Kingdom in order to chase after Adela.

Aurora: "..."

When she read this, her first impression was how stupid is this Benny.

It was clear that Adela would never respond to him, but he kept on following her as the faithful tail.

Prince Edward had already given up... well, it was more like he was forced to give up.

Louis no longer looked for Adela and focused to rebuild his career, but whether it was possible to do that was still a question.

Only Benny resolutely abandoned everything to chase after Adela.

Even after coming here, Benny should have figured out a way to sneak into the Red Kingdom’s Royal Palace and then made his way to Adela’a side. In that way, he could continue to protect her as her knight.

In Aurora’s eyes, Benny is stupid.

But she didn’t stop him nor trying to obstruct him either. After all, this is his decision and if he was happy with his decision, she would let him be.

One could try to convince others but what they do in the end it would ultimately be their decision.

Now that Adela was being plotted by Queen Rachel, only Benny would help Adela without hesitation.

"It seems that you know something I don’t," Queen Farah said helplessly.

When she came to take a look at the scene, she was shocked and even wondered how Adela did it. But since chaos ensued afterwards, Queen Farah didn’t have the time to care about this and could only try to clean up the mess that had happened afterwards.

Of course, she was only the helper.

The main person who invited them to the Red Kingdom’s Royal Palace was Queen Rachel. So the fault would fall on Queen Rachel.

Queen Farah could already imagine the messy scene later.

"What do you think would happen later?" Queen Farah asked.

Aurora looked at Queen Farah speechlessly. "I’m not a prophet, Aunt Farah."

There was no way for Aurora to know what would happen afterwards. What she could do was to make some guesses and inference based on the clues she picked up. In this way, she could react appropriately when something happened.

"I thought you know." Queen Farah chuckled.

Aurora shook her head. "I will know when it happened later. I’m sure you will inform me about that, Aunt Farah."

Queen Farah smiled and didn’t answer. For some things, there was no need for Queen Farah to tell Aurora personally because this girl would be able to know through other methods.

For this, Queen Farah could only say that Aurora was really capable.

"Do you want to see the Red Kingdom’s King?" Queen Farah asked. "He should be available since he had just dealt with Queen Rachel."

To be exact, the Red Kingdom’s King had just finished scolding Queen Rachel out of anger.

He knew that Queen Rachel wanted to matchmake the younger generation, but it was not to cause such a scandal like that. The two noble families would definitely come to the Royal Palace and the Red Kingdom’s King threw it to Queen Rachel.

As much as he loves Queen Rachel, the Red Kingdom’s King knew that this woman was not very good.

Now she has to clean up her mess or other nobles’ view of her would only become lower and lower.

"No." Aurora shook her head and stood up. "He will know of my arrival today and will call me to the palace in a few days. In the meantime, I would wait and watch."

"You’re very patient, Aurora," Queen Farah said with a smile. "Be careful no to let any opportunity slip from your hands."

Aurora hummed in a low voice and then walked out of the room.

Queen Farah remained seated on the sofa and sighed deeply. It seemed as if Aurora was doing nothing, but Queen Farah knew that Aurora should have some purpose coming to see her today out of all days.

Then again, Queen Farah had no intention to pry into Aurora’s secret or anything like that. They might be aunt and niece, but their relationship was more cooperative than anything else.

...

Adela’s side

Adela felt happy now.

After that incident, the Red Kingdom’s King was finally willing to let her play with Prince Charles. It could be said that many people were looking in her direction with weird gaze, but Adela didn’t care too much.

She was just happy to be able to spend more time with Prince Charles.

Prince Charles himself was also happy.

The engagement with the woman that he didn’t want was called off and Queen Rachel didn’t have time to supervise him recently. In this way, he could play with Adela with confidence.

As for what happened on that day?

Prince Charles didn’t understand.

Adela herself would not tell Prince Charles that Benny was present on that day and helped her. Without him, it would be difficult to say that Adela to escape from that situation and turned the tables against Queen Rachel.

Hmph!

"Charles, did you skip your classes again?"

When Prince Charles and Adela were playing in the garden, they heard voice from the back. Turning their heads, they saw Prince Brian standing there. He looked at the two of them calmly.

"I don’t want to study!" Prince Charles pouted. "It’s so tiring to study. I would rather stay here and play with Adela."

"You’re already 20 years old, Charles." Prince Brian looked at his half brother and shook his head slightly. "You should start thinking about what you truly want to do in the future."

Prince Charles froze.

He knew that he was already an adult and should do more things. But at the same time, Prince Charles just wanted to play around. He knew his mother’s expectation for him and also knew that his existence was bound to make some people’s interest to be moved.

But...

Prince Charles didn’t want to care about it.

"Can I do nothing?" Prince Charles asked weakly.

Prince Brian chuckled and shrugged. "That’s up to you, Charles. After all, your future belong to you and other people could only comment but what you do is ultimately your decision."

Prince Charles nodded blankly. He looked at his cousin in confusion as he didn’t understand why Prince Brian would come to talk to him about this matter.

It didn’t seem to concern Prince Brian in the slightest bit.

However, Prince Brian had no intention to tell his real intention to Prince Charles. After all, he was not exactly a kind person.

He might act like a brother to Prince Charles, but only he knew himself whether he truly treated Prince Charles as his younger brother or not. Just the fact that Prince Charles’s mother had made Prince Brian’s mother suffer was already one point of conflict between the two of them.

"I’ll see you around, Charles."

After that, Prince Brian left.

Prince Charles and Adela were standing there, looking at Prince Brian’s departing back with some confusion.

While Prince Charles only felt his older brother was talking strange, Adela was thinking about the epilogue scene in the game. In that game, Prince Charles eventually became the crown prince and Adela became the queen.

But the process of how it happened was not exactly written.

After all, the game epilogue was basically a time skip into the future that the players wanted to see.

There was no need to make it so detailed.

"Do you want to become the king, Charles?" Adela suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Hearing Adela’s question, Prince Charles was confused. He tilted his head and scratched the back of his head. "Well, my mother wants me to become the king."

"I’m not asking what your mother wants you to do. I’m asking what you want to do!"

Prince Charles was stunned. He looked at Adela, who was staring at him seriously and started to ponder about it. Putting aside the dream that his mother imposed on him, Prince Charles himself didn’t have any interest in the throne.

He knew that it was the highest position in the entire Red Kingdom. If he were to sit on that place, he could decide the live and death of many people.

No one would stop him from doing what he wanted.

But at the same time, Prince Charles also knew that if he were to sit in that position, there would be many things that he have to do.
