Villain Princess. Chapter 44: Getting Along

"Sister, do you agree?" Adela asked timidly.

"Should I not agree?" Aurora asked back. She looked at Adela in front of her and could see that the girl seed like a timid rabbit. But those who truly treated Adela as a small rabbit would definitely suffer.

This girl.... Was quite mysterious.

"That... then I hope you can give so advice..." Adela pursed her lips. "I can’t seem to be able to follow the etiquette lesson well."

To be exact, she was overwheld with the lesson. There were many things that she had to pay attention to. From the table manner, speaking, standing, and even walking. It was so much that Adela felt so tired from these.

She had never learned it before and for her, she just liked to be free and able to do what she wanted without restrain.

Yet, the etiquette lessons taught her that if she didn’t follow this, she would be looked down upon by others.

Adela didn’t want it.

So she could only co to Aurora and try her luck. She was not sure about the relationship between the two sisters before, but since this concerned the face of White Dukedom, Aurora should step out to help, right?

Fact proved that she was right.

But the reason was wrong.

"Alright." Aurora showed a smile and started to give so tips to let Adela rember the etiquette lesson better. For her who had been taught etiquette ever since she was young, it was nothing much.

For the next hour, Aurora was telling Adela various matters while Adela wrote them in her notebook.

It was just...

Adela knew very well that she wouldn’t be able to rember most of them when she saw how many notes she ended up making. These things wouldn’t be morized without hard work and a long ti to get used to it.

"How is it, Adela?" Aurora asked softly.

Adela nodded her head. "Ah, I have recorded them, Sister."

"Good. It’s late night and you should rest. Do your best for tomorrow’s etiquette lesson," Aurora said slowly.

Adela nodded weakly.

She hoped tomorrow never ca because she didn’t know how she would fare in the etiquette lesson. Unfortunately, she knew very well that it was an impossible wish as she couldn’t stop the flow of ti.

After Adela left, Aurora looked at the door thoughtfully.

’If things never changed, how great it would be.’

Aurora shook her head and moved to her bed. From the bottom of her heart, she wished that their relationship would always remain this good. But she also knew that this might not be possible, so she had to be prepared for anything to happen in the end.

With that in thought, Aurora slowly closed her eyes and rest.

...

In the next period of ti, Aurora would attend the etiquette class once a week with Adela. Even though her etiquette was already perfect in the eyes of the teacher, Duchess Isabella wanted her to beco the role model for Adela.

It seed as if her existence was nothing more than a helper for Adela.

But Aurora accepted this task as the etiquette had long been ingrained to her bones and she was able to do them flawlessly without much effort.

After the etiquette class, she would have to et with the other teachers for her other classes.

"Miss Aurora, it’s already late." Mr. Wren felt a bit bad for taking so much of Aurora’s ti today. She should have already resting at this hour, but Aurora still had to stay awake and learned these things.

"I know, it’ll be done soon," Aurora replied with a faint smile. "Mr. Wren, are your children going to replace you in the future?"

"Ah?" Mr. Wren was stunned and then nodded. "My first son has started his training to replace in the future but my second son is learning to be a knight."

A noble’s status could only be passed down to their first son or their successor while their other sons could only receive much lower status and that status couldn’t be passed down to their children. So if they wanted to beco a noble that could pass down their status to the their children or have higher rank than their father, they had to get the title on their own.

And it was far from easy.

Mr. Wren’s official title was a baron, which was already quite low. He had selected his first son as his successor so that after he passed away, his son would inherit his title. However, this title can only be passed down to one person, which ant that his second son wouldn’t be able to have the sa title.

Besides, he was a vassal of Duke White, so when his first son grew up, he would also beco a vassal of Duke White to help manage the territory.
