Chapter 24: Proper Kindness

Aurora had nothing against kind people.

In fact, she felt that kind people were good because it meant that they have compassion within them.

But all kindness and compassion needed a proper place to be shown.

Thoughtless kindness would only put themselves in danger and it was not something Aurora wanted to see.

They were all people with high status, wealth, and power. Compared to the commoners and people around them, they have different weight in various matters.

If they wanted to be kind, it was fine.

But they had to remember their status and the fact that each and every action of theirs would affect the lives of countless people. There were many people who might want to make use of their position and got close to them.

This was what they had to avoid.

But despite being in high position, neither Crown Prince Edward and Adela realized this. They acted in a way they wanted to and helped the commoners around them simply because they could, not caring about the other consequences at all.

Aurora sighed.

Perhaps, being thoughtless was also good to a certain degree.

She couldn't help her sister, but if the Crown Prince Edward didn't change, it would be hard for him to protect his life.

The guard soon returned and then whispered to Aurora.

"Ah, don't call me with such formality when we're out here." Crown Prince Edward scratched the back of his head and then said, "Call me Cade. In turn, I'll also call you with your chosen nickname."

Adela's eyes lit up. "Your Highness, you can call me Adela directly."

"Would that be inappropriate?" Crown Prince Edward was stunned.

The main reason why he picked a different name was because it would be impolite for one to call others with their name directly. If they were of nobility, they had to call the other party in accordance to the titles they have.

It was really tiresome.

But that was how the nobility has always been.

For this reason, it would be better to make up a name when one was traveling outside. In this way, they would not break the etiquette nor they would feel uncomfortable for having their name called directly by others.

And with a different name, they could differentiate it when they were acting as a commoner and when they were acting as themselves under the noble identity.

"That's..." Adela frowned. She seemed to have heard her mother said something about this, but she forgot about it.

"I'll go by the name, Anna, Cade," Aurora replied unhurriedly.

Seeing her sister had already started, Adela quickly said, "In that case, I'll be Ella."

"Now that's settled, let's go." Crown Prince Edward smiled at the two young ladies.

The two of them nodded.
