Chapter 55: The Academy

The training grounds had many knights around.

Aurora only needed to look once before she found the person she has been looking for: William Aster, Mr. Wren’s son.

"Miss." William Aster quickly stood up when he saw Aurora approaching. He had heard about Aurora from his father, but Mr. Wren didn’t dare to say anything that would involve various other things.

So the information that William received was limited.

But he also knew that Aurora was not an ordinary duke’s daughter who knew nothing and so on. She was someone who had her own ideas and way of doing things.

At first, William was a bit skeptical.

But after listening to the rumors after the negotiation was done, he understood that Aurora indeed has that capability. The negotiation that should have maintained the status quo now tilted in their favor.

To be able to do this, Aurora should have worked hard.

"Have you thought about your answer, Apprentice Knight William?" Aurora didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.

William Aster was stunned when he heard Aurora’s words. He looked at the young miss in front of him and then smiled faintly.

To be honest, he had no advantage in front of many other knights and his skills could only be said to be relatively ordinary. If it was not because his father was Mr. Wren, it was estimated that Aurora would never consider him to be her personal knight.

But he also knew that if he made this decision today, his workload in the future would be even greater.

Because he had to be responsible for Aurora’s safety.

And this was by no means easy.

As Aurora gained more power, there would definitely be more people who wanted to bring her down.

"Yes." William Aster knelt down and said, "I’m not a knight yet, so I’ll say my promise first, Miss. Under the Sun, I, William Aster, promised that I’ll follow Miss Aurora White until the end of my life. I’ll be her loyal sword under her hand, completing my every duty."

Once a knight had chosen their lord, they would usually serve them until the rest of their lives.

It was a bet.

The bet that would determine their lives in the future.

But since William is not a knight, he couldn’t give his oath and could only say his promise. The proper oath had to wait until he was knighted.

Aurora listened to Williams’s words and extended her hand. "I accept your promise, Apprentice Knight William. Don’t disappoint me."

William Aster smiled and then kissed the back of Aurora’s hand. "I won’t, Miss."

"I’ll be waiting for the day you become a knight. Until then, you only need to follow me when I’m going out for the negotiation."

"Yes, Miss."

William held his sword tighter. He had to train harder and once he reached the requirement, he would apply for the test. Only after he became a proper knight could he follow Aurora.

...

Capital Academy

The academy in the Capital Kingdom was named Capital Academy. It could be said that the person who named it was quite lazy and simply picked the capital’s name. But at the same time, this is also the highest and the best academy in the entire Yellow Kingdom.

The other kingdoms also have their own academy, but it was not something for Aurora to concern herself about.

She was looking at the tall gate in front of her.

For the next 10 months, she would stay here and could only come out when it was Summer Break and she had to participate in the negotiation between the Yellow Kingdom and the other kingdoms.

Her entire life has been arranged.

And looking at the situation in the Capital Academy, there were many knights who were guarding, both males and females.

It was clear that no student would be able to get out without them noticing.

Retracting her gaze, Aurora walked into the gate.

"Miss, I’ll go to your room to clean up first," Les said respectfully.

Since this is the academy for nobility, the maidservants for these nobles could also enter the academy. Of course, their role was nothing more than to serve their master or miss and they would not go out from the dormitory area.

After all, these nobility children were already used to be taken care of by others.

They came to the academy for the sake of ’studying’ and also expanding their connection, so for their daily lives, there would be a maidservant or manservant who would take care of their needs.

Aurora picked Les since she was familiar with the other party and knew that Les could be trusted.

It would be better to leave her life be taken care of by Les.

She could focus on her study and also to interact with the other nobles.

"Yes," Aurora said calmly.

The suitcase was also brought by Les while Aurora walked to the registration office. She had to report her coming here.

There were already many children there, talking and laughing with each other. Once they were in the academy, the etiquette was a bit more lax, so they could talk with others without much restrain.

Of course, this only applied if they were friends with the others.

If they were to show such an appearance in front of someone they have only met, they would be looked down upon by the other party.

"Miss Aurora White..." the person in the registration office noted down Aurora’s name.

In the academy, they would not greet each other with their titles and could instead be more relaxed. But even then, they had to follow basic etiquette and politeness when facing with other people.

"Yes," Aurora said.

The person in charge of the registration then handed Aurora a sheet of paper for identification.

After keeping the paper, Aurora walked to the bulletin board not far from the registration place. There were a lot of notice there but the most important one was the schedule notice and their classes.

There were a lot of classes and many of them divided the females and the males, but some classes would mix the children together.
