Prince Lester didn’t imdiately answer Aurora’s words.
His dark blue eyes were staring in Aurora’s direction before he lowered his head and then said, "Yes."
The young teenager, who looked dull and stupid on daily basis, no longer had that look. He was no fool and had understood many things about the world. Because of his life experience, he had to face the darkness of the world and suffer quite a lot.
The encounter with Aurora back then was a coincidence.
They only t with a brief mont, but she was the only person who could see through him instantly.
And later on, she brought him out of that place.
Aurora was looking in Prince Lester’s direction and smiled faintly when she heard his agreent. "In that case, start to work."
Prince Lester slowly lowered his head. He looked at the daffodil flower on the vase beside the table and felt that the fragrance of the flower was a bit stronger today. Aurora’s eyes looked really bright.
Prince Lester took a deep breath and sat down to start working.
He had never liked that life as he yearned for freedom and power. Freedom to do what he wanted and power to change his fate... and to protect those whom he wanted to protect the most.
With Prince Lester had already started copying, Aurora looked at the docunts in her hand and prepared a different negotiation.
She had made several plans before.
But she took out one that would be most suitable for the situation in Duke Sun’s territory.
After this incident, she was prepared to make two types of negotiation. One was more in the favor of Duke Sun while the other one was in more favor for herself rather than the two parties.
Of course, she had to be careful when drafting the contract to avoid people noticing her real intention.
...
Aurora finished the drafting of the contracts very quickly and then handed it over to Prince Lester to copy. She checked the copy from Prince Lester and was satisfied when she saw there was no mistake.
After all, even a single detail could change the aning of the words in the contract. She had to make sure that it was clear and it would not make people take advantage in the loopholes.
It was not easy for her to do this.
There were many terms in the contract that could make people feel headache.
Even though Prince Lester was only copying, he himself was trying to understand what Aurora wanted to convey through the contract. The more he read, the more convinced he was that Aurora is really smart.
These docunts were not easy to write and Prince Lester could see that there were so differences between one contract with the other one.
It seed that Aurora’s focus when writing the contract was different.
Thankfully, the process of copying the contract didn’t take a long ti and after Aurora checked to confirm that there was no mistake, she went to depart once again.
"William, how many knights will co with us?" Aurora asked when she reached down. While she was busy with Prince Lester to prepare the docunts and contract, she asked William to gather the knights who will follow her to Duke Sun’s territory.
No matter what, she had to make sure that they bring enough people for her protection.
These knights have to be capable knights.
There was no way Aurora would want to repeat the sa mistake that she made that day.
"There are a total of 24 knights, Miss," William replied. "I have carefully select them all."
He also knew what Aurora was paying attention to. Naturally, William would not let just anyone to co along.
The last incident had scared William.
And now... his father had passed away and William would not let anything happened to Aurora.
So they have to bring more knights.
"Let’s go."
"Yes!"
...
The journey alone would take a long ti and Aurora brought more paper for the journey. She was making a few more drafts for the next contract while another paper was used to record about her enemies and those who might have made a move against Mr. Wren.
Mr. Wren is Duke White’s vassal.
Technically, he was not under Aurora but he did help Aurora a lot in her work since she has limited break ti.
Her status as the crown princess limited her interaction outside.
Her status as a student made her unable to stay outside the academy for a long period of ti without any sufficient reasons.
Of course, one could take a long break.
But the problem was how to convince people that Aurora would still be at the top even when she was staying outside of the academy for an extended period of ti.
Of course, Aurora was not bothered with this.
She knew that the Headmaster would deal with it.
Her focus was on the negotiation with Duke Sun and also to see Mr. Wren’s body. Between the two, Aurora choose to stop by the city where Mr. Wren’s body was located first before going to see Duke Sun.
When William heard Aurora’s decision, he thanked her.
Because William knew that the negotiation had to be done as quickly as possible to exert the greatest profit, but Aurora still chose to pay a visit to see his father’s body first.
They stopped by the city and went to see Duke Sun’s vassal who was responsible for taking care of Mr. Wren’s body and the knights who ca with him back then. It has been a few days, so they have to deal with the body soon.
"Mr. Wren and the knights’ bodies are over here," the servant of Duke Sun’s vassal said when they reached the special room built to keep the bodies.
As the door opened, the strong sour sll of corpse entered their nostrils, making them all frown.
The corpses were no longer fresh and it wouldn’t be wise to keep them like this.
