Aurora walked out of the room with the sa calm and indifferent expression on her face.
She could see that her father was surprised.
But Aurora didn’t want to be used by her father as a pawn. In the next few years, she had to grow up quickly and grew the real power within her hands, the power outside of the Duke White Family.
Aurora looked at her hands.
"Aurora."
Hearing this voice, Aurora raised her head and saw Duchess Isabella walking in her direction. She was still dressed in beautiful dress and wearing various expensive decorations.
It was easy to see that Duchess Isabella had only co back from a party.
Ever since Duchess Isabella handed over the negotiation to Aurora, she also handed over various other matters to her. In this way, Duchess Isabella had so much free ti in her hand that she could do whatever she wanted.
This kind of life was really good for Duchess Isabella.
She was also trained hard when she was young, but her talent was not very good. It was already pretty good for her to be able to be like this.
Compared to her daughter who had surpassed herself at the age of 10, Duchess Isabella was indeed not good.
She also didn’t feel much achievent of teaching Aurora.
Aurora was too good.
Even without Duchess Isabella’s teaching, the girl would grow. So she was thrown to the other teachers who ca to teach her.
On the other hand, Duchess Isabella spent more of her ti with her second daughter, Adela. Adela has weaker body and her comprehension was also not as strong as Aurora.
It felt more accomplished when teaching such a daughter.
And when Duchess Isabella was happily living her life, Butler Nolan ca to her husband and talked about an outrageous thing. This made Duchess Isabella felt that her safe and unbothered life would co into an end.
She didn’t want it.
Not having to work hard at all and still enjoyed various richness, this was the kind of enviable life that Duchess Isabella wanted to keep the most.
Now that soone was about to destroy it, she has to do sothing.
First of all, Duchess Isabella talked with Duke White.
And now that Aurora had returned, Duchess Isabella wanted to talk with Aurora.
"Yes, Mother?" Aurora replied, her attitude remained calm and respectful. With her etiquette done to the high standard, no one could say that she did sothing wrong.
Duchess Isabella didn’t pay attention to this. She had long known that her daughter was indeed very capable in learning the etiquette and almost no one could tell if there was sothing wrong with her movents.
Besides, what Duchess Isabella wanted to do right now was to talk with Aurora.
"I hope you don’t make any trouble again. You’re the crown princess and any scandal will not be allowed," Duchess Isabella said in harsh tone.
Hearing her mother’s words, Aurora knew that they all listened to that Butler Nolan’s words and her expression turned strange.
She looked at her mother and said, "I did nothing wrong, Mother."
"Do you think that I don’t know..."
"Mother, you can ask Father about this incident. He’ll explain to you," Aurora replied. "Besides, do you want to accuse out of nowhere without the slightest bit of evidences?"
Aside from the bodies of the knights that were buried under Mr. Wren’s arrangent and the fact that there was a battle, there was no evidence that sothing happened to Aurora.
It could be said that Butler Nolan’s words were all only ’rumors.’
Even he himself was beheaded and killed because of this rumor.
Aurora had already warned her father, so she knew that he would not make a move against her subordinates.
But the explanation would be necessary.
Of course, Aurora was not worried about this.
She had already given instruction to her people. Even if there was nothing, couldn’t the dirty water be thrown?
That Butler Nolan dared to throw dirty water to her, how could she not dare to do the sa to him?
Would they believe the words of a duke’s daughter more than a re son of a small noble?
Don’t joke around.
Those of higher ranked would be more respected and listened.
"That’s..." Duchess Isabella frowned, feeling that sothing was wrong. She looked at her daughter but found Aurora was staring back in her direction with the sa indifferent eyes.
There was not the slightest bit of respect within her eyes.
But her body didn’t show any disrespect in the slightest bit.
"You’re the crown princess! You can’t let any strange rumors spread out about you!" Duchess Isabella said again righteously.
Even if she felt so palpitations and chills in her heart when she saw Aurora’s gaze, she would not back down so easily.
Aurora looked at her mother in front of her.
She could tell that her own mother was actually afraid of her but still showed a brave front. Closing her eyes for a mont, Aurora took a deep breath. When she opened it again, her eyes had regained its tranquility and calm.
It was not as indifferent as before, but there was still no trace of affection or respect.
"Mother, I’m not only the crown princess but also your daughter," Aurora said slowly. There was a hint of pleading within that even she herself might not notice.
"Do you not believe my words?"
Duchess Isabella looked at Aurora, who looked the sa as usual and seed to see weakness in Aurora. She frowned and said, "You’re the crown princess first and foremost. This is your identity, Aurora!"
She didn’t answer Aurora’s question and only repeated this statent.
Because for Duchess Isabelle, Aurora having this identity was the most convenient for her and also the White Family.
As for believing?
She didn’t care too much about this daughter of hers.
Aurora saw Duchess Isabella’s cold expression and firm words. She smiled faintly to Duchess Isabella, a smile that looked so beautiful yet heartbreaking at the sa ti. "I know, Mother."
