Chapter 59: Connection Expansion

Aurora looked at this and felt rather helpless.

Annelie was the perfect carbon copy of her mother. Even her extremely proud view was inherited.

It was not a bad thing for the noble to be proud because they do have the capital for it. But overly proud and looked down on others were not something to be praised for.

"Lady Annelie, the club is made for us to communicate with each other," Aurora said slowly. "If Lady Lucy wants to join, then she’s welcome to join."

"That..." Annelie wanted to protest, but another girl beside her who had good relationship with her tug on her sleeve. She was reminding Annelie not to offend Aurora in this club’s room.

Besides, there was nothing wrong with adding one more member.

Perceiving what her friend told her, Annelie could only agree reluctantly.

Lucy, who was full of annoyance at Annelie in the beginning, was startled when she heard Aurora’s words. Looking at Aurora, who was sitting on her own and the other noble girls’ reaction when they heard Aurora’s words with respect in their eyes, Lucy seemed to understand that in this club, Aurora’s words was the rule.

These girls were all full of respect for Aurora. Was it because of her status as the duke’s daughter or was it because of her own ability?

Either way, Lucy felt some admiration for Aurora.

"Thank you Lady Aurora," Lucy quickly said.

"Come in," Aurora replied with a smile.

"Yes!" Lucy nodded and then walked in.

Annelie clicked her tongue but she didn’t do anything else. No matter how unhappy she is, she would not refute Aurora’s words and made trouble in this club room. This place belonged to Aurora and no matter what, it was the best place for her too.

Many other high ranked noble daughters were also here and communicate with Aurora openly.

What Aurora didn’t expect was that starting that day, her small tea ceremony club become teaching class for Aurora to teach these noble girls. Some of these noble girls couldn’t afford the teacher in the past or other matters, which caused their etiquette to be lower than most other noble children.

But when they joined Aurora’s tea ceremony’s club, they could learn these things slowly but surely.

Aurora would not force them and helped them to demonstrate the right etiquette so that they could follow her lead.

It was a fun process nevertheless.

Of course, Aurora would not teach every day. They scheduled the teaching class to be once a week while the rest of the days would be a normal gathering in the club if they wanted to.

Surprisingly, the club room was almost always so popular because of this.

What Aurora didn’t expect was that she would see Lucy again when she took the basic swordsmanship class.

"Lady Aurora," Lucy quickly called out and then looked at her clothes, not sure how she should perform her etiquette.

"You can pretend there’s a skirt and bent down as usual, Lady Lucy," Aurora said and then performed the etiquette in front of the other party. With her training over the years, Aurora was naturally aware of this.

Aside from that, she herself was not wearing dress.

Who would be wearing dress when they were going to practice swordsmanship?

Clearly, no one would be stupid enough to make such a mistake.

"Ah, thank you, Lady Aurora." Lucy blushed. She felt that she was making trouble for Aurora to ask for advice in such a place at this time. After all, Aurora had no obligation to teach her.

"It’s nothing much," Aurora replied and then looked at Lucy’s posture.

Even though Aurora was only learning for a short period of time, she could see that Lucy was someone who had trained in sword for a long time. The posture showed by Lucy was the standard posture that the female knight who taught Aurora back then showed.

"Are you also learning the sword, Lady Aurora?" Lucy was curious.

After seeing Aurora’s elegance in the tea ceremony club, Lucy really couldn’t connect Aurora to someone who was learning swordsmanship.

In fact, Lucy felt that the image seemed to be contradictory.

"I learn for the sake of my health," Aurora slowly said. "How about you, Lady Lucy?"

Health?

Learning swordsmanship could indeed be considered as a way for training since they were basically training their body and also their skills. Aurora’s answer was a bit surprising but at the same time, it was reasonable.

"My family guards the border and there are a lot of battles there," Lucy said with helpless tone. "My father said that even if I’m a woman, I have to be good at swordsmanship if I want to succeed my father or even stay in my territory."

Count Celeste didn’t have any other children and his wife had passed away many years ago due to the dispute in the territory with the neighboring kingdom. As the noble who stayed in this territory that was placed in that kind of place, he had to be ready for battle at any time.

Because no matter who come to their territory, they would have to make sure to protect the citizen inside.

Lucy is the only daughter and also the future successor.

Because of this, Lucy was taught martial arts by her father and then sent to study in the academy. Because only if Lucy was studying here would it be possible for her to make connection and then make use of this connection to help their territory.

Without the support of the Yellow Kingdom, it was hard for the people in their territory to survive.

As for Lucy’s future partner...

It had to be a lower noble who was willing to be married into their territory. Because this was the one and only way for them to survive.

Lucy had to be successor of her territory.

"I see," Aurora said slowly.

Thinking about Lucy’s position, Aurora had a faint idea in her mind.
