Aurora listened to Prince Lester’s words.
She knew that it was not wrong to a certain degree. Because a duty of nobles were many and helping their people were only one of them.
It was not even the main priority.
"Prince Lester, do you think being a noble is everything?" Aurora asked another question.
Is it everything?
"No."
"Right." Aurora chuckled and lowered her head to look at the book in front of her to read again. "It’s not."
And only the sound of page turning could be heard.
It was peaceful.
...
Aurora thought that these kind of days would last for a long ti.
But she was wrong.
Looking at the invitation in front of her, Aurora sighed deeply.
"What does Sand Kingdom’s Pri Minister doing in the Yellow Kingdom?" Aurora muttered to herself and leaned back.
The last ti Aurora saw Pri Minister Jake from the Sand Kingdom was during the previous negotiation. After that, there might be so other negotiation with the Sand Kingdom’s nobles, but it didn’t go through Pri Minister Jake’s hand.
In this way, there was no need for Aurora to et with that annoying man.
Now, Aurora found out that Pri Minister Jake had sohow co to the Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City. And the first thing he did was actually to send her an invitation to et in a cafe not far from the Capital Academy.
"Oh..."
Aurora rembered that it was already spring.
It ant that the next negotiation would be done soon and if she was not wrong, they had set the negotiation’s location to be in the Yellow Kingdom.
But has the war between the Red Kingdom and the Ice Kingdom over?
Aurora was a bit busy with her own private matters lately that she forgot about such an important thing.
But even if the war is not over... it’s not impossible for them to decide and made the negotiation.
The one who would usually initiate the negotiation was the Red Kingdom. The main reason was because the river flow through their territory first before going to the lake. Since the next negotiation would take place in the Yellow Kingdom, the Red Kingdom should inform the Sand Kingdom and the Orange Kingdom.
That would explain why Pri Minister Jake is here.
But...
"Should I see him?" Aurora looked at the invitation letter on the table.
The letter was polite and one couldn’t really fault Pri Minister Jake in terms of etiquette and so on.
The problem was whether it would be suitable or not.
Aurora thought for a mont before thinking of a suitable way. She looked at the letter in front of her and the corner of her lips curled up slightly.
It was feasible.
And if what Pri Minister Jake was about to deliver was sothing important, then Aurora did have to see him. It would be a waste if she were to miss sothing important by not coming to see him.
...
In a short ti, Aurora had arrived at the cafe written by Pri Minister Jake in the letter. It was a famous cafe for the nobles and the price was really expensive. There was basically no commoner who could afford the consumption in this place.
Thankfully, the service was truly good.
And the nobles had praises for this place.
As for the price?
Even if it was slightly more expensive, the rest was really good.
For them, it was enough.
Aurora looked around and soon found Pri Minister Jake was sitting beside the window. He was looking outside and looked sowhat absent minded.
"Pri Minister Jake, is this your first ti coming to the Yellow Kingdom?"
"Of course not, but I feel the current Yellow Kingdom is interesting." Pri Minister Jake turned his head away from the window when he heard Aurora’s words. Upon seeing the girl who ca to the table, his smile turned even wider. "It seems that you’ve been doing well, Miss Aurora."
"I can say the sa to you, Pri Minister Jake," Aurora replied.
From the way it looked like, Pri Minister Jake was not only living well but also gained weight. He looked a bit rounder than before, though he still looked relatively fit.
At least, for a man at his thirties, he still looked healthy.
Pri Minister Jake laughed and nodded. "Please take a seat, Miss Aurora. You may order food or drinks too. I’ll be the one to pay for them."
"Thank you," Aurora said lightly and then sat down gracefully. "Now, may you tell why you co here so suddenly, Pri Minister Jake?"
"Haven’t you guessed the reason for my arrival here?" Pri Minister Jake didn’t answer right away and instead asked the question back to Aurora. The smile in his face showed that he was confident that Aurora knew the reason even without him telling her.
Aurora raised her head and looked at Pri Minister Jake.
She did have so guesses as to why he was here and the reason why he ca. However, Aurora felt that it would be better for her to ask him directly.
"In that case, let change the question. Why did you look for ?" Aurora asked and then glanced at the waiter who arrived to bring their teas. She raised her hand and slowly sipped the tea from the cup, enjoying the taste of the tea.
Pri Minister Jake laughed lightly. He could sense Aurora’s vigilance and it was not exactly a bad thing. Because if one were not vigilant and careful, they would be used by others who had bad intention.
Well, he also had so unkind intention...
"I’m here to invite you to my kingdom again," Pri Minister Jake replied. "Back then, you disagreed and I know it’s not suitable for you to leave. But now that I’m here, I think that you’ll fare better in the Sand Kingdom."
Fare better in the Sand Kingdom?
Aurora thought about the rumors that was spread about her and chuckled lightly.
Well, it seed that Pri Minister Jake had a point.
