Chapter 19: What’s Your Goal?

If it was only relying on the produce from White Dukedom, it would be difficult for them to sustain themselves in the long term.

After all, they would have to earn back their money through the sales of their grain and other produces to other territory. And what Aurora wanted was to improve the condition of the people and made White Dukedom better.

Looking at the list of things that Aurora wrote, Mr. Wren's eyes brightened. "If this set of rules can be implemented, it would be very beneficial for White Dukedom. It seems that you have thought about this, Eldest Miss."

"I'll be the one to manage the negotiation from now," Aurora said slowly with a faint smile. "And if I can make the situation of the territory better, wouldn't it be for the best?"

Mr. Wren didn't answer immediately and looked at Aurora deeply.

He could see that this young miss was really smart and there should be reason why she suddenly told him all of these.

"Miss, what do you want from me?"

"I want you to work well," Aurora said slowly, her smile never disappeared from her face. "Only if the territory is doing well would it be possible to discuss about other improvement for the territory, isn't it?"

Is it really only for the territory? Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

Mr. Wren looked at the list of negotiation and terms written by Aurora on the piece of paper and took a deep breath.

He had the faint feeling that if Aurora were to be the one to negotiate and manage the matter of White Dukedom, she would be the one who had the power instead of her father. Because even though Duke White is the lord of White Dukedom, he didn't manage many things.

Many things were handled by the smaller lords under them, including Mr. Wren.

Her engagement with Crown Prince Edward has been arranged and it was unlikely to be revoked. After all, the Royal Family would be slapping themselves in the face if they were to revoke this engagement that they made.

They were not stupid enough to do this.

"I have no interest to be the head of the family," Aurora said unhurriedly.

Become the head of the family?

When Aurora thought about her father and what he has been doing, Aurora didn't really want to. The White Dukedom looked prosperous, but there were actually many problems in the land that had to be settled.

Not to mention, Duke White basically didn't make any improvement at all in the past decade or so. He only followed what his father had arranged before and let things continued this way.

Aurora knew very well that there was a chance for her to be the head of the family.

Because Duke White didn't have any son, so the choice for the next head would either be his daughters or his son in law.

But after the engagement with Crown Prince Edward, Aurora knew that this path is impossible.

The law couldn't be changed so easily.

Unless she tried to coax Crown Prince Edward to abolish this rule, but it would be many years later when he ascended the throne. It was very unlikely to happen anytime soon and Aurora would not put her hope on this.

So, Aurora wanted to settle for the next best.
