Count Celeste was dumbfounded.
It took him so ti to understand that Viscountess Arn is actually Aurora White. This was an identity that Aurora made for herself.
And no one knew about this.
"I’m glad that you’re fine," Lucy said sincerely. And then she added, "Did you get bullied when I’m not there? Do I need to beat up som people?"
"Lucy!" Count Celeste was dumbfounded when he heard Lucy’s words. How did his daughter beco soone who would beat up others so easily just from Aurora’s words?"He felt that he had to reeducate his daughter well before allowing her to interact with Aurora again in the future.
"It’s fine." Aurora shook her head. "It’s good that you’re not there at that ti."
Lucy frowned.
With Aurora’s words, she naturally thought about the broken engagent between Aurora and Crown Prince Edward. She might not be there, but she still heard that Crown Prince Edward practically announced it when they were having their graduation party.
The party that should have been enjoyable turned into a farce like that.
"If I’m there, things might not end so peacefully." Lucy nodded.
Even though Lucy is a noble, but she didn’t really like to restrain her action. If she didn’t like sothing, she would say it outright and there was no need to pretend or anything like that.
This was sothing that she inherited from her father, who was also a stubborn man.
And it was also because of their similar personalities that it would be hard for them to truly integrate into the noble society.
"I see." Aurora nodded, not surprised.
If Lucy was not being called by her father, Aurora was actually planning to send Lucy away one way or another during that graduation party. In her opinion, there was no need for Lucy to attend and see all of that, which would only. Make her feel more depressed and might do things out of impulsiveness.
That matter was already a foregone conclusion.
There was no need to cause more trouble than what was already there.
Annelie could understand what happened.
But Lucy...
Well, it might be a bit difficult for this simple minded girl.
"Viscountess Arn?" Lucy then asked another question she didn’t understand. How did Aurora managed to beco a noble and have a title on her own like this?
"It’s my temporary na." Aurora nodded. "And I’m here as Viscountess Arn. You need to rember that, Lucy."
Lucy heard Aurora’s tone that was more solemn than usual and quickly nodded her head. "Yes! I’ll definitely rember."
While Lucy didn’t understand much, she knew that she had to rember not to call Aurora with her real na but instead with this title. It felt a bit strange to call Aurora with that title, though.
Count Celeste’s eyes flashed. He looked at Aurora thoughtfully. "It seems that Viscountess Arn has so projects that she wants to do?"
"Yes." Aurora smiled. "I have prepared the proposal. I hope you could see them first, Count Celeste."
"I will." Count Celeste had heard many things about Aurora. One of them was naturally about her negotiation and trade contracts. Many nobles wanted to get close to Aurora because they could get a lot of benefit.
It was said that even the trades that people were pessimistic about could beco successful in her hands.
Aurora smiled.
...
The conversation with Aurora didn’t take long and Count Celeste had already raised the white flag to surrender. He knew that he couldn’t argue back and the offer that Aurora gave to him was really tempting.
But he would be lying if he said that he had no other concerns when he read the proposal that Aurora showed to him.
"I hope your guild can also help if there’s a war," Count Celeste finally said after it was done.
"Don’t worry. Era Guild can help provide the equipnt necessary for battle if you need it," Aurora replied.
"Really?" Count Celeste was stunned.
He thought that the weapons and the likes were all dominated by a few nobles in the Yellow Kingdom. After all, there were not many people who could obtain these weapons.
But Aurora said it as if she could obtain them easily.
Aurora only smiled and didn’t explain.
What she had been doing in the past few years, there was no need to lay all of her cards on the table unless it was necessary.
"I won’t ask anything else." Count Celeste raised his hand to show that he wouldn’t ask any other question. "But I think you would like to talk with my daughter?"
Aurora looked at Lucy and replied, "Yes. It has been a while since we see each other."
Lucy grinned sheepishly.
"You girls can talk and I’ll go first." Count Celeste smiled. "I’ll prepare everything and let it be constructed in the shortest ti possible."
Aurora bowed gracefully. "Thank you, Count Celeste."
With that, Count Celeste left. He had to do a few things in accordance to the contract he had just signed with Aurora not long ago. Of course, the na of the people who signed the contract was under Count Celeste and also Viscount Arn.
Aurora couldn’t really sign with her real na.
Thankfully, Viscountess Arn was truly a legal na that Aurora obtained after doing so work.

The door closed and Lucy turned to look at Aurora. "Where have you been all these years? I thought that you will only go for a few months as usual but it ended up as years."
"I have a lot of things to do," Aurora replied with a shrug. "It’s not like I don’t want to return, but I can’t."
She has so many things to do that there was no ti for Aurora to co back to the Capital Academy. Besides, Aurora also knew that she had nothing else to study in the Capital Academy.
When Aurora was in the Capital Academy, she was only there to read so books that interest her.
