Villain Princess.

There were many dirty deeds that these people did.

Even if Mr. Wren didn’t like it, but he knew that in order to survive, it was inevitable for them to do some things that might not be accepted if it was spread out.

However, Mr. Wren didn’t understand why Aurora mentioned this now.

"Do you think that those who hold power have to be noble?" Aurora asked again.

"Isn’t it normally so?" Mr. Wren asked again.

Aurora only showed a smile but her eyes remained cold. Her hand had finished wiping the blood and tossed the cloth away before sheathing her sword again.

"Normally, yes, but there are also those non noble people who are secretly operating in various parts in the kingdoms," Aurora replied slowly. "It’s impossible for them to topple up the nobility, but... having enough power to change your own fate is the best, isn’t it?"

Prince Lester, who was listening to Aurora, was surprised. His eyes widened slightly and his body trembled before he forcefully calmed himself down.

He lowered his head to prevent others from seeing his gaze.

"Your own power?" Mr. Wren looked at Aurora and frowned. He thought for a moment as he recalled the people under him in White Dukedom and sighed deeply. "Miss, I’m not very competent, but I’m still a noble who wants to protect the people under me. I might not be able to follow you all the time."

William looked at his father, opened his mouth, but in the end he didn’t speak anything.

He has been by his father’s side for a long time, so he understood Mr. Wren’s choices. Of course, understanding didn’t mean agreeing. William could not follow Mr. Wren’s path. He had his own life, separated from his family.

Mr. Wren didn’t understand completely about what Aurora wanted to do, but he had the feeling that Aurora would not want to manage a territory like what he had done. She was very different from the other nobles he had ever seen in his life.

But it might be because she was different that he decided to listen to her words when he met her back then.

She’s very capable.

However, her goal might not be suitable for his life path.

"I know, Mr. Wren." Aurora looked at Mr. Wren and nodded. This teacher of hers was someone who cared for the people under him very much and wished for their prosperity.

But Aurora couldn’t do that.

Asking her to care about the people under her in the territory was highly impossible.

From the time when she was young until now, Aurora knew very well that these people were living well in their territory due to the management. Managing them well would bring them benefit and if they didn’t do well, they wouldn’t be able to get anything.

It was simple and crude.

People might call her cold hearted and ruthless, but Aurora didn’t mind.

She’s a selfish person.

When she learned various things from her parents and teachers, she knew very well that she had to strengthen herself and built her own power.

Even if this power might not follow the normal routine.

This was why Aurora had no desire to take the position of the family’s head. It might be a good position, but it was also a position full of responsibility.

She might have the ability.

But why should she take it?

There were others who might want the position more than her. Besides, there was no problem even if her father were to stay in that position for a few more decades.

The lifespan of people in this era might not be that long, but it was still enough for them to live until Adela got married and has children. There could also be some vassal’s children who were selected to be the next successor.

Aurora wouldn’t worry for the White Family.

"Thank you, Miss." Mr. Wren could see Aurora’s calm demeanor and bowed down.

To be honest, he was a bit afraid to say his position in case Aurora would do something to him. After all, Mr. Wren knew very well that there were many nobles who couldn’t stand having those below them to refute them.

Aurora might not seem to be a person like that, but she’s also a ruthless person.

To kill the three knights without saying anything....

That had already told many things.

"I’ll use the materials’ carriage," Aurora said. "Move the things to create a space. Don’t forget to take the box under my seat in my carriage first."

"Yes, Miss!"

The four of them started to work while Aurora stood there, watching the scene in front of her with the same indifferent expression.

It was just that when people couldn’t see it, her hands were actually trembling.

She’s afraid.

But she couldn’t show it.

She couldn’t even think about it so that she could still appear strong in front of her men.

Even though she has a plan that might be called outrageous for her own life, but Aurora would still be responsible for the lives of the people under her. She couldn’t care for the people in the territory, but she could care for the people around her.

It was enough.

Soon, they have finished moving the things and tied the horse to the second carriage.

"Miss, it’s ready."

"We’ll go to the White City in White Dukedom. Buy a carriage there and then we’ll return to the Capital City," Aurora gave the instruction.

"Yes, Miss!"

The four of them obeyed Aurora’s words.

Mr. Wren took the job of leading the horse while William and Prince Lester guarded from the side. Now that there were no other knights to protect the carriage, their duty was higher.

They hoped that there wouldn’t be any other attack.

Clip! Clop! Clip! Clop!

The horse went out and Aurora stayed inside the carriage, looking at her hand in front of her. The blood has been wiped, but there were still some traces remained.

Drip...
