Villain Princess.
Chapter 52: Dream

Chapter 52: Dream

Coming out of the castle, Aurora only heaved a sigh secretly. To be honest, she hated this complicated noble society. But at the same time, she understood that since she was born as a noble, she had to fulfill her obligations.

Even if it was not the life she wanted, she had to follow through until the very end.

’Just like a caged bird.’

Aurora chuckled lightly, yet there was not the slightest bit of happiness in her eyes.

No matter how much she looked like she had the power in her hands, Aurora knew that it was all false power.

A maid came to her and then said, "Miss Aurora, Crown Prince Edward is waiting for you."

"Lead the way," Aurora replied.

Since Queen Ella had said to her to leave her son in her care, it meant that Queen Ella would help to facilitate the meeting between Aurora and Crown Prince Edward.

As the future daughter in law who had been acknowledge by the Queen, how could Queen Ella not want the two children to get along? Even if they have no feelings for each other, they had to be able to get along with each other.

As for how they got along?

Queen Ella would not care as she knew that Aurora is a smart girl. She should understand what she could and couldn’t do.

Soon, the maid brought Aurora to a separate garden. Crown Prince Edward was already there, sitting on the chair with table of tea and refreshment in front of him. Clearly, Queen Ella wanted the two of them to have a talk while eating snacks and drinking tea.

"Your Highness," Aurora curtsied.

Crown Prince Edward moved his eyes towards Aurora and then smiled politely, "You’re here, Miss Aurora. Please take a seat."

"Yes," Aurora replied in a low voice.

She sat down and then looked at Crown Prince Edward in front of her. Today, the crown prince was wearing a proper shirt and looked handsome. His blond hair was brushed neatly and he seemed to have been asked to come here by his mother.

The two of them started with small talks.

In terms of etiquette and nobility’s way of doing things, Aurora was not completely unfamiliar. After all, she had been forced to learn this ever since she was young by her mother.

After some time, their talks started to move towards other matter.

"Do you have a dream, Aurora?" Crown Prince Edward asked.

A dream?

Aurora blinked her eyes and thought that she just wanted to be free from this position, no longer bound by the suffocating rules and forced to do what she never wanted to do. But this kind of dream was simply impossible to achieve.

Because from the very moment she was born, she was bound to this position and could never escape.

Besides, she could never say this to anyone.

As those who heard her words would undoubtedly restrain her and stopped her from having such a dream.

"I wish to be able to become better and learn faster without being so tired," Aurora finally said.

Does she like studying?

No, she didn’t like it.

But it was the only way for her to live without suffering so much under her mother. She would never allow her to do what she truly wanted and would always remind her of what she had to do.

So if Aurora could make a wish, she hoped that she would not be so tired.

Because her mother had made her so stressed out for a long period of time and what Aurora wanted was nothing more than some break from all of this.

But if she couldn’t have a break, the she hoped she could learn faster and have more rest in her already densely packed schedule.

"Huh? You like studying so much?" Crown Prince Edward was surprised. He scrunched his face and then said, "I don’t really like studying, but I want to be a good ruler who care for his people."

A good ruler without studying?

Aurora’s expression was a bit strange.

She knew very well that without sufficient knowledge, it would be impossible for Crown Prince Edward to truly be a good leader. After all, if he didn’t have enough knowledge, he wouldn’t be able to solve the problem of his people.

He somewhat reminded her of her cousin, Prince Charles.

Because Prince Charles also didn’t like to study and instead play around. He even skipped several lessons through dragging her around when she paid a visit to their place last year.

Speaking of paying a visit, Aurora was not sure where the negotiation would take place next.

But if they went by the rotation, it shouldn’t be next year.

So the next time she could meet her cousin, it would still take some more time.

Probably at that time Prince Charles would have grown up and no longer dislike studying so much like before.

"Your Highness, a good ruler still have to study," Aurora reminded.

"I know." Crown Prince Edward snorted. "But I think that it’s fine for me not to think so much about it. There will be many people who will support me and also helped me to do the work, so I don’t have to work so hard."

Aurora: "..."

While it was true that Crown Prince Edward would not work alone, but if he was not capable enough, not many people would want to work with him.

Thinking that the second prince was still very young, it was simply impossible to use him to make Crown Prince Edward feel any urgency to study.

But then again, would the second prince even want to aim to become the next king?

Not all princes have the ambition to become the ruler.

Aurora sighed in her heart and continued her talk with Crown Prince Edward, probing carefully about his study and what he had learned so far.

And the result...

She felt that the study of the crown prince was similar to when she was only 6 years old back then.
