"Huh?" Crown Prince Edward was confused.
Aurora didn’t imdiately explain.
During the breaks she would be staying in the academy because there wouldn’t be any other negotiation again for the next few years. Unless her father asked her to return or sothing happened, then it was most likely that she would be staying in the academy.
She thought for a mont and then said, "The war between the Red Kingdom and the Ice Kingdom would make the negotiation unlikely to happen, so the trades this ti would last at a longer ti. For the nobles who want other trades in the middle, they had to do it by themselves."
Aurora had explained the nobles representative before her departure before that if there were anyone who wanted to make deals in before the war was over, they had to do it themselves.
No negotiation would happen.
But this also ant that the water resources ratio would not change for the next few years.
For Aurora, it was quite advantageous because this ti, the Yellow Kingdom occupied slightly more than usual. This would be advantageous to White Family’s territory.
"Is that so?" Crown Prince Edward had a look of realization and then nodded. "I’ll be in your care later, Aurora."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The two of them exchanged a few more pleasantries before Aurora left.
Seeing Crown Prince Edward left with the others, Aurora heaved a sigh of relief. However, she noticed that Adela was not among these people right now.
Her eyebrows lit up slightly.
It seed that Adela has her own idea about what to do.
Not that Aurora minded, though.
She guessed that Adela was doing so other work just like what she had written in those notes. Even if so of them didn’t seem to match again, the rest should still be useful for her.
Oh well...
Aurora would not bother watching Adela at all ti.
...
After the eting with Crown Prince Edward, Aurora went to see her friends from the sa club.
Annelie was naturally already present in the club room.
"Lady Aurora, you’re here." Annelie smiled. "I have received a lot of application to enter the club from the new students."
Compared to Aurora, who only wanted to co to the club room to rest most of the ti, Annelie was the most active. Not only was she so eager to establish her status, she also liked to manage many other things.
For this, Aurora let Annelie be the one to manage the recruitnt of the new students when a new sester start.
From the way it looked like, Annelie had already started working from the very first day after the sester started.
"You don’t have to work so hard right after the sester start, Lady Annelie," Aurora said before she nodded at the other noble ladies who ca to greet her.
Annelie chuckled. "I don’t have anything else to do but to co here."
"You can spend more ti with your fiancé."
When Annelie heard this, her body froze for a mont before she shook her head. She glanced at Aurora and smiled faintly. "I don’t have anything to talk with him. Besides, he’s with His Highness and it’s not easy to talk with him."
It was not a secret that Leon spent most of his ti staying around Crown Prince Edward. His favorite class was the swordsmanship class where he would usually challenge Benny or train by himself.
These two people were respectively the first and second in the swordsmanship class.
The difference was that Leon’s academic performance was still passable while Benny was dead last.
"I see." Aurora nodded.
It would be better for Annelie to spend more ti with Leon since the two of them would get married in the future. But if Annelie didn’t want to, then Aurora would not force the other party.
Anyway, Aurora could see that Annelie was having fun in the tea ceremony club.
Aurora glanced at the side and saw Lucy co in their direction with a wry smile on her face.
"Sorry, I’m late, Lady Annelie."
"Where have you been?" Annelie frowned. "Your task is just to hand over so fliers."
"I have to talk with so teachers about the possibility of taking a break in the middle of the sester," Lucy replied with a bitter smile.
"Why do you need to take a break?" Annelie asked, this ti her tone had so concerns within.
Even if Annelie is an arrogant person, she is not a heartless person.
Lucy was not soone who would take a break without any reasons. There had to be sothing that happened in her territory if she were to ask to take a break.
"Well, my territory is beside the border and my father is worried that the war will affect the areas around our border. If the situation worsened, I would have no other choice but to return earlier," Lucy explained.
Since everyone was noble, there was no problem for Lucy to talk about this matter.
In fact, many people knew that she ca from the border.
After all, her poor performance in the etiquette class and so on was quite eye catching back then. On the other hand, the fact that Lucy was able to be one of the best swordswoman shown that she had learned it for a long ti.
It seed that even if she was not a noble, it would not be a problem for Lucy to beco a knight.
"Right." Annelie thought about Lucy’s territory and nodded. "In that case, you will have to study more to make sure you can pass the test or you will not be allowed to return."
"I know." Lucy nodded wryly.
She knew better than anyone that her result was not really good.
The academy would only allow her to leave if the situation was really urgent and there was no other choice.
Otherwise, Lucy should stay in the academy obediently and didn’t talk about returning to her territory or taking any break.
