Chapter 51: Her Majesty the Queen (2)

Aurora moved her eyes away and curtsied.

"Aurora White greets Her Majesty, the Queen."

The Queen of the Yellow Kingdom’s name was Ella. She was rarely called with her name directly because of her current status, but everyone knew her name.

Queen Ella looked at Aurora in front of her. "Get up. I have heard a lot about you, Miss Aurora. You did good in the negotiation."

The fact that Aurora pushed down the Sand Kingdom and earned them a lot of benefit was naturally something that was passed to the Royal Family. The King was very happy because this meant that he could earn a lot of money.

The Queen herself would also get some share, which pleasantly surprised her.

When the engagement was made between her first son and Aurora White, the Queen felt that this woman was only good at her study. The candidates for the fiancée of the Crown Prince came from the duke and two Marquis.

And after looking at the evaluation of the three families, it was finally selected to be Aurora.

There were two important reason.

The first was naturally because Aurora’s background was higher than the other two families. She was the duke’s daughter while the other two were marquis’ daughters at best.

Second was because of the current relationship between the Yellow Kingdom and the Red Kingdom. The King wanted their kingdom to get better and for this, they would need more ’support’ from the Red Kingdom.

If picking Aurora could earn their favor, then the King would rather choose her.

The Queen was also informed about this and could only follow what he wanted. No matter what, the power and wealth had to come first.

In any case, she was also selected back then because of her background. The Queen knew this very well and didn’t expect much from the King, so she agreed with his words when he wanted Aurora to be the Crown Prince’s fiancée.

Now that she heard this girl’s capability, the Queen wanted to see her.

If it could benefit her son, it would be for the best.

Queen Ella looked at Aurora in front of her. The current Aurora was only 11 years old, far from growing up. Even though the girl’s height had reached 1,5 meters, but she still looked rather small.

’Not bad.’

The etiquette showed by Aurora far surpassed the other girls around her age. Even though every families would definitely drill their son and daughters about etiquette, but most children could only restrain themselves for a short period of time and their movements were not completely standardized.

But Aurora was different.

If not for the fact that Aurora’s body was not developed yet, Queen Ella would suspect that Aurora had been in the high society for a long period of time.

This was the impression given by Aurora’s posture.

"I have heard of you, Miss Aurora," Queen Ella said with a faint smile on her face. "You have done a good job in the negotiation."

"Many thanks for your compliment, Your Majesty. This is what I should do," Aurora replied humbly.

She was silently paying attention to the queen in front of her.

The engagement between her and Crown Prince Edward was purely political move, which was something that everyone knew very well. The two children had never even met with each other before, but they were engaged to each other.

Aurora had guessed that the queen didn’t pay special attention to her because she had no name and only the status behind her. As long as she stayed as the duke’s daughter, the engagement would have no trouble.

But with Duchess Isabella as her mother, how could it be so simple?

Duchess Isabella pushed Aurora forward with letting her be the main negotiator in the negotiation.

One reason was because she didn’t want to do this job anymore.

The other reason was because this would determine how Aurora’s position in the eye of the Royal Family.

Duchess Isabella should have known that if Aurora performed well, she would enter the queen’s eyes. If she had performed poorly, she would be punished and then asked to study more before given another chance.

After all, the future queen had to be able to handle this negotiation.

"Your talent is very good," Queen Ella said slowly. "Do you think you can handle the rest of the negotiations?"

The rest of the negotiation?

Aurora pursed her lips and then replied, "Your Majesty, the negotiations had to go through the lords of each territory and it would be brought to the Royal Family in the end."

Her role for this year could be said to be over.

There was no need for Aurora to do anything else as the rest of the negotiation would not fall to her hands anymore.

After all, many of the negotiations needed to be known to the Royal Family, especially if it involved the national’s interest. There were many layers of things that had to be done, but none of them had anything to do with Aurora anymore.

She just had to focus on preparation for next year’s negotiation and whether there were any other nobles who had good ideas for this.

Queen Ella nodded.

It seemed that Aurora’s knowledge over the governing way was also pretty solid. She’s indeed very capable.

"I’ll leave my son in your care when you go to the academy in a few weeks. I hope you two can get along well," Queen Ella said and then waved her hand.

Aurora froze for a moment before curtsying and then walked out of the hall.

Her expression was a bit cold, but it was still restrained after a few moments. At this moment, Aurora understood that the Queen had seen her in favorable light but only to be the helper of her son.

Because Crown Prince Edward will become the king in the future.

And as the future queen, it is Aurora’s role to support him.

How... annoying.
