"Tsk." Pri Minister Jake clicked his tongue.
He looked at Aurora and then asked, "Are you sure you wouldn’t regret rejecting ? I’m sure that my offer is better than what the Yellow Kingdom and the Red Kingdom could possibly offer you. With your age, it’s a miracle that they’re willing to use you so much."
Aurora was looking at Pri Minister Jake calmly.
"I’m not underestimating you." Pri Minister Jake rolled his eyes. "I’m just telling the truth."
Aurora could see Pri Minister Jake’s confidence, which was reasonable to a certain degree. Because she knew that the offer from the Sand Kingdom was indeed very tempting for many people.
But...
"One had to bear the title of a traitor to serve other kingdom," Aurora said slowly. "It’s not exactly a good thing."
"Would you care about sothing intangible like that?" Pri Minister Jake chuckled. "You should have known better than anyone else how useless that reputation is in the face of real benefit."
Aurora shook her head.
She knew very well that it was just so useless na and reputation.
But Aurora didn’t want to bear this kind of na.
She had a good life right now. Even if she had to say that there were many difficulties in front of her from many people, but she was still living enough and could do many things with her status as the duke’s daughter.
Why should she abandon all of these and head over to the Sand Kingdom as a betrayal?
"Sotis, these ’false’ reputation is also important, Pri Minister Jake," Aurora replied unhurriedly.
"It’s really hard to convince you." Pri Minister Jake sighed. "Do you think that if I co to your kingdom and asked for your hand in marriage, will they agree?"
"Pri Minister Jake, please be careful with your words. I have a fiancé in the Yellow Kingdom," Aurora warned.
She would not let others say words that were not true like Pri Minister Jake. If others were to hear his words, it was hard not to think that she was trying to move to other kingdom with such an offer.
Besides...
This Pri Minister Jake is more than twice her age.
"I’m just saying." Pri Minister Jake chuckled. He leaned forward and showed a bright smile. "Can’t you see my sincerity, Miss Aurora?"
"I can’t see it now," Aurora replied with a calm tone. Even though Pri Minister Jake was trying to provoke her several tis, but Aurora knew how to deal with it. Even though one had to admit that Pri Minister Jake is annoying, but he would not cross the line.
It could be said that the two of them were still respectful on the surface.
Of course, whether he could remain this way later on was another matter. But from what Aurora could see, this Pri Minister Jake is not stupid.
He would not make a move that he was unsure of.
"So cold." Pri Minister Jake laughed.
Aurora looked at Pri Minister Jake in front of her. "Shall we continue with the agreent, Pri Minister Jake? There are still people waiting for you."
Pri Minister Jake glanced at the door and the corner of his lips curled up slightly. "Indeed. There are so people who are waiting for us. I want to spend more ti with you, Miss Aurora, but it didn’t seem to be possible."
Aurora only looked at Pri Minister Jake.
From her past interaction with him, Aurora knew very well that this Pri Minister Jake was truly shaless. He didn’t seem to care about his reputation that much but his action was actually still within the boundaries.
It was just sowhat frivolous.
"Let’s continue."
After this, the negotiation proceeded smoothly. Pri Minister Jake no longer made other trouble and instead followed his words and they finished the negotiation and signed the contracts.
Once it was done, Aurora ca out and saw Queen Rachel looking in her direction with indifferent eyes.
For this favorite queen of the Red Kingdom’s king, perhaps there were no one in the world who could enter her eyes.
Not that Aurora cared, though.
Nobles were all full of pride and so on, so when Queen Rachel looked down on her, Aurora would only pretend that she didn’t see it.
She couldn’t do anything about it anyway.
...
The negotiation was over.
Every representatives were making their way back, including Aurora. When she was about to bid her farewell, Prince Charles was so excited and said that he would co to the Yellow Kingdom soon.
At that ti, he hoped that Aurora would guide him to look around.
Aurora could only agree under Prince Charles’ persistent deanor.
On the other hand, Prince Brian watched everything calmly without much interest in the slightest bit. He had no interest in what Prince Charles was going to do.
Besides...
He had other duties in this war.
The notebook’s matter was also brushed past as a maid found the notebook and returned it to the study room before Prince Brian returned. It could be said that Prince Brian didn’t notice soone had taken it.
Even if soone did, the code inside would not be so easy to decipher.
He had this confidence.
After so ti, Aurora managed to depart along with the knights back to the Yellow Kingdom. The journey would take a few days and Aurora usually spent this ti resting.
Because once she got back, she wouldn’t have much ti to rest.
Of course, if there was so ti, Aurora could also spend her ti reading.
It should have been an uneventful journey.
But...
Swish! Swish! Swish! Jleb! Jleb! Thud!
"Ahh!"
"Enemy attack!"
Aurora, who was resting inside the carriage, was stunned when she heard the shout and turned her attention outside.
She saw a group of people rushing forward and t with the knights.
Her eyes turned a shade colder.
To think that there would be still be people who attacked even after seeing the family’s insignia... it seed that soone wanted her die so badly.
