Chapter 15: Formal Position

Chapter 15: Formal Position

Aurora didn't know what her mother was thinking.

Nor what other people were thinking.

Red Kingdom's King looked at Duchess Isabella and Aurora behind her. "Are you sure that you want your daughter to replace you starting next year?"

"Yes," Duchess Isabella replied. "My daughter is very bright and I believe she could do it. Besides, as the future crown princess, she had to get used to her work earlier."

Duke Rain was also present as he was one of the few people who usually listen in to the negotiation. He looked at his sister with a strange expression. "She's only 10 years old, right?"

They still knew the basic information of Aurora, so they knew her age.

So hearing Duchess Isabella wanted a 10 years old kid to lead in the negotiation that involved the interest of the entire kingdom sounded strange for them.

"She'll be 11 years old next year," Duchess Isabella replied. "And I'll be there to accompany her."

"Hmm." The Red Kingdom's King tapped the chair's handle.

He looked at the young girl who was following Duchess Isabella and could guess that there was no point in asking the child. Looking at her eyes, she seemed to have long gotten used to her mother's request.

No matter whether she could do it or not, she had to do it.

Even if it meant breaking her mind and body, forcing herself beyond her limit.

"That's just like you, Isabella." The Red Kingdom's King laughed. He understood his sister's personality more or less. "I don't have any objection as long as the Yellow Kingdom also approve of this matter."

With Aurora here, he had more excuses and the teachers were also tolerating him.

Prince Charles wouldn't be able to have so many excuses when he wanted to skip his classes next without Aurora being here.

Prince Brian patted his half younger brother's shoulder. "Don't use your cousin as the excuse for you to skip your classes, Charles."

"I know..." Prince Charles shrugged. "But in any case, if Cousin Aurora needs more company, I'm always available!"

Aurora: "..."

Prince Brian: "..."

The two of them were sure that this was only Prince Charles trying to get away from his classes.

Prince Brian shook his head and looked at Aurora. "I heard from my mother about the matter, so see you next year, Cousin Aurora."

His mother?

Aurora looked up to see Prince Brian smiling in her direction, but this smile had never reached his eyes.

The people from the nobility are all mostly like this.

Aurora smiled back in Prince Brian's direction. "I will see you next year, Your Highness."

Even though Prince Brian was not the one involved directly in the negotiation, since it involved in the negotiation, then his mother would be the one there. It wouldn't be strange for his mother to share him some things.

Ah, how troublesome.
