Chapter 97: I’m Her Knight

Of course, these three were not everything.

There were also some other nobles who didn’t have good impression of the White Dukedom and might want to target her for some reasons.

Or there were those who disliked her personally such as Mirabelle in the Capital Academy.

She herself might not have the necessary connection, but the family behind her could easily do it for her.

But well...

Aurora was not sure what kind of benefit that Mirabelle would get from harming her.

Being able to stay with Crown Prince Edward?

They were cousins and legally speaking, they couldn’t get married with each other. There was no benefit for Mirabelle to do this unless she planned to ask Aurora to do other things, which Aurora couldn’t think of.

It was just that this method was a bit too extreme.

If it was found, Aurora could use the power of the White Family behind her to crush Mirabelle.

And speaking of Crown Prince Edward, Aurora also knew Adela who was attracted to the crown prince. While she couldn’t understand what was attractive from Crown Prince Edward aside from his position, Adela seemed to like his every side.

Alright, Aurora didn’t understand feelings.

She didn’t think it was necessary either.

But that innocent and stupid sister of hers couldn’t possibly do anything like this unless they collaborated with her father and mother. Because Adela had no talent at all in leading and anything like that.

Everything she could do was to obediently study and recuperate her body.

But her father and mother shouldn’t agree to this kind of request from Adela. Because Aurora knew that Duke White and Duchess Isabella wanted her to become the queen for the sake of the White Family.

And with her doing a good job in the past few years, there was no reason for them to abandon her like this.

Or is there?

Aurora furrowed her eyebrows and her eyes flashed with ruthless glint.

These thoughts flashed within Aurora’s mind at a very short period of time. While she pushed the table, she had already finished considering all of these people who might attacked her.

There were too many possibilities.

Not to mention, there might be others such as the other nobles whom Aurora barely dealt with, the queen of the Red Kingdom whom she hadn’t met or even her own cousin, Prince Brian.

But no matter which one of them, Aurora couldn’t find the direct reason right away.

Because there were too many possibilities.

And it was only now Aurora realized that she seemed to have offended too many people with her action.

Even though she was only doing what she was required to do, there were many people who were not happy with her. They only respected her on the surface but who knew what they were actually thinking in secret.

How ridiculous.

Aurora pushed these thoughts to the back of her mind.

Even if she wanted to find the person who did this and made him or her paid for their action, the priority would be for her to get out of here.

Aurora picked the chair and put it in front of the window. Using the chair as a step, Aurora could reach the window easily and looked outside.

There was a bandit standing not far away from the window and another one in a distance.

The four of them were standing guards to make sure Aurora couldn’t get away from the hut.

Aurora held the knife in her hand tightly.

As for waiting to be saved?

Aurora was not the type of person who could stay quiet and just wait until someone saved her. She had been taught to be independent ever since she was young and if she wanted something, she had to work hard to achieve it.

Simply waiting for things to be delivered to her mouth did not exist.

No one would be willing to do that to her and Aurora knew that very well. There had to be something they wanted from the other party.

No one was so selfless.

Aurora took a deep breath, preparing herself to open the window and jump down to the bandit below.

There would only be one chance.

...

Slash! Thud!

As the last bandit who were left behind fell, William finally stopped and panted. Fighting against so many bandits had exhausted his strength. He knew very well that he was not strong enough.

Even if he was already knighted and had finished his training, it was far from enough for him to protect Aurora when it was necessary.

This made William very angry.

*pant pant*

The situation was tragic.

There were around 20 knights who came with Aurora but only 5 of them were still alive by now including William. Looking at the dead bodies of the knight on the ground, William took a deep breath.

Les was crying.

These people were all still talking and laughing with her at one time but now they have all fallen to the ground as dead bodies.

The changes happened so fast.

"There’s no point crying." Prince Lester sheathed his sword back. His eyes were looking into the forest in front of him.

He had no one and nothing in his hand. His only chance of survival was through following Aurora.

So she couldn’t die.

"I’m going into the forest," William said and turned around without hesitation.

Yes, he was tired, but he couldn’t possibly let Aurora be in danger even for a second longer. It’s his duty as a knight and also because he didn’t want to lose his Miss.

"I’m following," Prince Lester said and also ran behind William.

"Wait, William! It’s too dangerous! You didn’t even know how many people are left!" Mr. Wren stopped William before he could enter the forest.

He didn’t want to lose his son.

It was simply too dangerous.

"I’m Miss’s Knight. If I can’t be by her side when she needed me, doesn’t it means I’m useless?" William answered and looked at his father deeply.

Mr. Wren was stunned and unable to answer.

William himself also didn’t wait for Mr. Wren to answer and rushed into the forest.
