Queen Rachel looked at Aurora in front of her.
There was a trace of jealousy within her eyes.
For Queen Rachel whose etiquette lesson couldn’t be said to be the best, Aurora’s good move only made her feel jealous from the bottom of her heart. This made her unable to accept in the slightest bit.
If only she was born in better situation, then she would have received better education.
There was no need for her to fight for the king’s favor at all tis and made herself dead tired to do various things.
"I called you here to talk about Charles."
Prince Charles?
Aurora had questions within her heart when she heard Queen Rachel said this. Even if she did interact with Prince Charles from ti to ti, the relationship between Prince Charles and Aurora couldn’t be said to be close.
Besides, there was also Prince Brian present during their talk along with the other servants. It could be said that Aurora was only enjoying the garden with Prince Charles and Prince Brian to pass so ti.
But there was no special relationship or anything like that between the two of them.
"Yes, Your Majesty?" Aurora replied, her tone reflected her confusion.
"I’m going to send Charles to the Yellow Kingdom," Queen Rachel said. "I would like you to help supervise his study."
Aurora: "..."
Do you treat as his nanny?
Aurora felt like complaining because this was the second ti soone said this to her. The first one was naturally Queen Ella from the Yellow Kingdom, Crown Prince Edward’s mother.
Now, Queen Rachel also asked her to do the sa.
Aurora felt that these queens have too much expectation on her. She was not their nanny and what was her business if their study were to fail?
She didn’t care at all.
The main reason why she still told Crown Prince Edward to study was because it was her duty. Besides, she didn’t really want to serve a king who didn’t know anything about his work like the current Crown Prince Edward.
As for whether he would change or not, Aurora would wait for ti to answer.
"Your Majesty, it’s not easy to supervise a prince’s study," Aurora said slowly. "I have the duty as the crown princess to help his highness to study and I might not be able to spare the ti."
Queen Rachel frowned.
With how excellent Aurora was, Queen Rachel felt that it should have been easy. She had seen Aurora doing very well in the negotiation and now, she wished for Aurora to help her son in his study.
In Queen Rachel’s eyes, with Aurora around, Prince Charles should be able to take his study more seriously.
"You’re a smart girl, Aurora. I’m sure you can do this," Queen Rachel said.
Aurora furrowed her eyebrows. She could see that this Queen Rachel was soone who would not receive the answer ’no’ for what she asked. Being in the favored position for a long ti, she was already used to be arbitrary.
"With all due respect, Your Highness, I have no obligation to help you," Aurora said slowly.
She helped Crown Prince Edward in his study also because of her position as the crown princess and also his fiancée. With this position on the surface, it was only natural for Aurora to help Crown Prince Edward.
But Prince Charles?
He’s only her cousin at best.
Queen Rachel’s face darkened. "Do you want to defy the royal’s order, Aurora?"
"Your Highness, I’m not the Red Kingdom’s subject," Aurora replied. "While my mother might be the princess of the Red Kingdom, but she has beco part of the Yellow Kingdom. I have to prioritize my duties as the crown princess more."
"You..."
"Your Highness."
Before Queen Rachel could speak more, the old maid beside Queen Rachel stopped her and whispered so words to Queen Rachel’s ears.
It could be seen that Queen Rachel slowly cald down. Even if her eyes still looked sowhat fierce when she looked in Aurora’s direction, she no longer showed her hostility in such an open way manner.
Seeing Queen Rachel like this, Aurora felt rather tired.
They were able to get along peacefully in the negotiation not long ago, but when it ca to Queen Rachel’s personal request, she showed her hostility in an open manner.
This made Aurora wonder if this person was smart or not.
"No matter what, Charles is still your cousin. I hope you can help him to adapt well in the Yellow Kingdom’s Capital Academy," Queen Rachel stated her requirents.
"The Yellow Kingdom had no intention to mistreat a prince, Your Majesty," Aurora replied calmly.
The relationship between the Yellow Kingdom and the Red Kingdom were very good starting from the marriage agreent of her mother. Until now, it could be said that there were no one who could make the two kingdoms turn hostile.
Aurora herself had no intention to make trouble.
But she couldn’t possibly sacrifice herself for the sake of the entire kingdom more than what she had already done.
She was busy with various things and if she had to take care of Prince Charles, who could guarantee that her work would be done? Rather than putting her life on the risk, it would be better for her to reject upfront.
"It better be that way." Queen Rachel looked at Aurora deeply. "I hope that my son could beco better when he’s in the Yellow Kingdom."
Aurora: "..."
Thinking about Prince Charles’ behavior, Aurora was honestly very skeptical about this statent. It was unlikely for Prince Charles to study well when he was in the Yellow Kingdom.
After all, it was impossible for Prince Charles to change his behavior overnight.
"Prince Charles is not a bad prince, Your Majesty," Aurora chose a relatively neutral stance when replying.
Queen Rachel frowned but she didn’t pester Aurora. She only said a few more words before letting Aurora left the room. There was nothing else for her to say.
