Chapter 266: Aftermath

"Yes." Prince Lester nodded.

Aurora glanced at Prince Lester and then at the door. After thinking it through, Aurora decided that she would not enter and join this mess.

It was already more than enough to hear such a secret.

Well, it was not exactly a secret.

The text that Adela wrote had already written bits and parts about this, so Aurora knew about it. It was just that she had never thought of using this matter to go against Queen Rachel.

Because if she did, it was estimated that Queen Rachel would send someone even more powerful to deal with her again.

She had enough of being assassinated.

"Let’s go back."

"Yes, Miss."

....

The scandal of the Red Kingdom’s King’s wife, Queen Rachel, and Prime Minister John couldn’t be kept secret at all. With Adela’s scream and the fact that the main hall’s door was not closed for some reasons, there were many people who heard about this.

Coincidentally, some nobles came to the Royal Palace that day to discuss some things with the Red Kingdom’s King.

Who would have thought that they ended up hearing such a shocking secret instead.

And these nobles couldn’t really keep it a secret, so this matter quickly spread loud and clear to the entire Red Kingdom’s Capital City.

When the Red Kingdom’s King knew about this, he was livid.

The evidences for this matter was solid and everything Adela said was true. While the Red Kingdom’s King didn’t know how Adela knew about this, but he had to admit that she helped him.

He immediately ordered people to seize these two people’s family’s home and brought these people down one by one. They were all thrown to the jail or being put into the public execution for people to see.

Prince Charles... no, it’s just Charles now, was among them.

He never knew about his mother’s action and until the very end, he didn’t understand how things turned this way.

In this way, there was only one prince left to contend for the throne.

"It’s really stupid of them not burning those letters that could be used as evidence," Prince Brian commented while he had some tea with Aurora.

The storm of this matter hadn’t completely passed and the Red Kingdom’s King was busy working to quell his rage. It was also during this period of time he knew that Aurora had come and heard about this matter too.

He completely gave up about his image and simply let Prince Brian to continue his cooperation with Aurora.

Anyway, the Red Kingdom’s King would not suffer any loss.

In fact, he might even profit from Aurora’s business since she enhanced the business in the Red Kingdom. Though, most of the money would enter her pocket in the end, which was a point that made many people speechless.

"It might have been kept as memento by them," Aurora said calmly, not surprised by their action at all.

When she saw Adela’s stupid brain when she was dealing with Prince Edward and the others back then, she had the feeling that she was also prone to do stupid things.

"Now that things are over, will you accept my invitation to stay in the palace?" Prince Brian asked.

Aurora glanced at Prince Brian. "Did the Red Kingdom’s King ask you to say this?"

"You found out?"

"It’s strange for you to ask me to stay in the palace," Aurora replied. "But the Red Kingdom’s King is really interesting. He refused to let my sister stay in the palace but invited me instead."

With that scandal going on, the Red Kingdom’s King really didn’t dare to keep Adela stay in the Royal Palace in the slightest bit. She and Duchess Isabella were sent out and Duchess Isabella wanted to arrange for marriage for Adela.

But Adela refused vehemently.

And then the two of them were sent back to the Yellow Kingdom where Adela was reunited with Prince Edward. Through the letter, Aurora could tell that their reunion was very emotional.

As for what kind of emotion it was, Aurora didn’t really care.

"Right..." Prince Brian shrugged.

He has long gotten used to his father who only cared for benefits without actually caring for the person themselves. It was also because of this that the Red Kingdom’s King would not accept Adela but wanted Aurora to be here.

The good thing from him was the fact that he would not be so wary to Aurora and wanted to control her.

Some people who have been in power for a long time liked to do this.

Thankfully, it was not the case for the Red Kingdom’s King.

Besides...

"My father will abdicate soon." Prince Brian smiled and looked at Aurora. "At that time, I’ll give you more freedom to do what you want."

"So quickly?" Aurora arched her eyebrows and chuckled. "Should I congratulate you in advance, cousin?"

With only Prince Brian as the prince was left in the Red Kingdom, it could be said that the Red Kingdom’s King could not have any other successor. Of course, that was unless the Red Kingdom’s King tried to make a child again.

But from what Aurora knew, Queen Farah refused that suggestion vehemently.

For her, Prince Brian alone was already more than enough.

As for Prince Brian’s sister, the Red Kingdom didn’t really advocate having a female to become the king. So she has no chance to inherit the throne and from what Aurora knew, she also had no interest to fight for the throne.

In this way, the matter of the Red Kingdom could be said to be settled.

Prince Brian won and no one would dare to compete with him for this position.

It was more like... no one dared to compete with him and no one else had the qualification to compete with him.

Aurora herself had no interest for the throne.

It was better for her to stay in Era Guild and worked hard every single day to earn money and live a comfortable life.
