Chapter 53: Expected Performance

Aurora: "..."

For this matter, Aurora didn’t know what to say.

She only felt that the Royal Family was pampering their own crown prince and didn’t seem to have high expectation of him. But in terms of etiquette and so on, Crown Prince Edward didn’t seem to lack at all.

So in a way, only his study was a bit left behind.

But it seemed that Crown Prince Edward couldn’t really escape from his class like Prince Charles. After all, Prince Charles had an older brother who also studied and performed better than him while Crown Prince Edward was basically the one whom the kingdom selected to be the future ruler.

Time passed quickly.

"I hope we can get along well," Crown Prince Edward said before an attendant come.

Crown Prince Edward was called to finish his study, so Aurora went back to her carriage. She felt that talking with Crown Prince Edward was really tiring.

’For the crown prince to be lacking in his study.’

Aurora shook her head.

The study of Crown Prince Edward had to be increased if he didn’t want to be left behind. It would be shameful for the kingdom’s crown prince to have no proper knowledge over various matters.

In any case, they would enter the academy soon.

At the same time, Aurora could guess why Queen Ella let her met with Crown Prince Edward after knowing her capability. That queen wanted her to be the one to help Crown Prince Edward to strengthen his study and foundation.

The two of them would definitely be in the same class later.

When Aurora thought about this, she wanted to sneer.

The Queen truly had a good abacus.

And Aurora also knew that it was not possible for her to refuse unless she wanted to make more trouble for herself, which would only make things more difficult for her.

It was annoying.

Aurora hadn’t answered Crown Prince Edward’s last words.

Get along well?

’Don’t worry, we’ll get along well as long you don’t harm me.’

As for the so called love?

She didn’t believe a word of that and didn’t think that it would be possible for her to develop any feelings for this person.

...

<Duke White Residence>

Duke White was happy when he saw Aurora. "You did a good job today. Make sure to keep up your performance."

Looking at her father who only cared for what she did, Aurora only smiled and nodded faintly. She knew better than anyone that her father was a person who only cared for benefit.

With her making the deal in the negotiation that was profitable for them, Duke White would also have more funds in his hand.

As long as the harvest this year was not bad enough, it would be more than enough to increase their own allowance. For Duke White, this was undoubtedly a happy thing that made him extremely happy.

"Thank you, Father," Aurora replied.

Duke White nodded and then said, "Keep up the good work. We’ll still rely on you next year."

Next year.

Aurora curtsied to her father, indicating that she understood.

And after saying that, Duke White returned to his study, busy with other things that was important for him to do.

Duchess Isabella came forward and then looked at Aurora. "How did your meeting with the Queen goes?"

Since Duchess Isabella had already known Aurora’s performance before, she had no interest to ask her about that again. Instead, she was more concerned about Aurora’s meeting with Queen Ella.

No matter what, Aurora had to make sure that Queen Ella had a favorable impression of her. If Queen Ella were to make things difficult for them, they wouldn’t be able to benefit as Aurora’s family.

Aurora could guess what her mother was worried about.

"Her Majesty told me to interact more with His Highness," Aurora replied.

This sentence was already more than enough to let Duchess Isabella knew that Queen Ella looked favorably on Aurora. This meant that Aurora’s position as the future crown princess was stable.

Duchess Isabella nodded in satisfaction. "Keep up the good work."

Aurora bowed her head slightly and replied, "Yes, Mother."

After mentioning it and also said a few more precautions that Aurora had to remember, Duchess Isabella went back to do things on her own.

It seemed as if whatever Aurora did only deserve a sentence of praise.

There was nothing else that they would say to her and Aurora had long gotten used to it. The only good thing was that there was no class today and Aurora was allowed to rest.

But it was only one day.

Tomorrow, it was time to go back to classes and more studying.

As Aurora was about to return, she saw Adela trotted over to her and then asked, "Sister, can you tell me more about the negotiation?"

Aurora looked at Adela in front of her and showed a faint smile. "What do you want to know?"

"Eh, emm..." Adela tilted her head. "How about the process?"

The process?

Thinking about the long debate with the other people from other kingdoms, Aurora’s expression turned strange, but she still answered Adela’s question. Her answers were very standardized and seemed to be rather cold and unfeeling, but it was pretty good.

Of course that was if they were talking in professional terms.

Because if they were talking in terms of interest...

*yawn*

Adela could barely force herself to listen to Aurora’s words. She felt that Aurora’s words were really boring and there were a lot of technical terms that she didn’t understand.

Because her own study was far behind from Aurora, she didn’t understand more than 90% of what Aurora was saying. Even if Aurora was using the simpler terms to explain, it was still far above what Adela could understand.

In the end, Adela gave up.

"I think it’s enough, Sister," Adela said weakly.

Aurora could see that Adela was not listening and didn’t seem to understand, but she still showed a faint smile on her face. "I see. Do you have any question?"
