Villain Princess.

William watched Prince Lester’s back and his eyes deepened.

After a moment, he retracted his gaze.

It didn’t matter too much what the other party truly wanted because it was up to Aurora what she wanted to do and how she wanted to deal with him.

Besides, he himself was also only Aurora’s knight.

Their task is to protect Aurora.

For other matters... William didn’t have to think too much.

...

The night passed by quietly.

For the next few days, the journey continued and Aurora finally returned to the Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City. The lack of knights didn’t hinder their speed that much and even if it was a bit late, Duke White usually didn’t care.

Of course, it’s usually.

Aurora looked at the familiar mansion in front of her.

In the past, she would want to go back quickly and finished her report so that she could rest. Her parents no longer managed her schedule that much and would let her do whatever she wanted.

The academic semester was about to be over so Adela would return soon.

But for now, only Duke White and Duchess Isabella were here.

"Miss," Les called out.

Aurora nodded at Les and then said, "You don’t have to follow me this time. Mr. Wren, send the documents to the Royal Palace on your own."

"Yes, Miss."

Mr. Wren looked at the box and then at the White Family’s Residence. He had the feeling that the moment Aurora returned, there would be a drama and problem, but he couldn’t be here to stay with her, this made him feel rather troubled.

However, he knew that he might not be able to help Aurora in the slightest bit.

Rather than staying here to make trouble, it would be better for him to go and do what Aurora asked him to do.

After Mr. Wren left, Aurora walked inside.

The servants were all still working in orderly manner and there didn’t seem to be any sign of disturbance. They shouldn’t have known anything about what happened after Aurora returned from her negotiation.

Besides, even if her father were to know what happened, he would want to cover it up.

Because it was not suitable for this matter to spread.

The butler saw Aurora and bowed. "Miss, Master has been waiting for you in the study room."

"I know."

Aurora nodded and made her way to her father’s study room. Most of the time, Duke White would spend his time in his study room or go out and traveled to who knows where.

While he did have some official duties, many of his work were already handled by Mr. Wren. With Mr. Wren staying in the Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City, he had become a proper worker used by Duke White.

If someone else could finish their work, why should they work hard.

It was also because of this mentality that Duke White spent his time outside the mansion to do various things.

For example, visiting other nobles to play and relax.

He could also attend the parties with Duchess Isabella.

Anyway, maintaining his prestige by attending these parties were still very important.

Knock! Knock!

"Master, Miss is here."

"Enter."

The door was opened by the butler and Aurora walked inside in an unhurried steps. She saw Duke White was staying behind the desk with a pile of papers on one side. It was easy to infer that these should be the work of the White Dukedom and other matters that Duke White had to solve by himself.

When Mr. Wren was following Aurora, Duke White essentially lost a good helper that could help him reduce his work.

He could only do the work by himself.

The progress was relatively slow and now, Duke White was still far from over.

He raised his head and looked at his first daughter and raised his head to let the butler closed the door. What he talked about next shouldn’t be heard by other people in the mansion.

The butler understood the Master’s message and closed the door tactfully.

Aurora saw their exchange, but she said nothing. She remained still in front of Duke White and curtsied in accordance to etiquette. "Father, I have returned."

"The things that happened in the forest," Duke White said slowly. "Don’t let anyone know. I have already suppressed the matter too."

Aurora looked at her father and then spoke out, "Father, how did you know that something happened in the forest?"

"The second butler, Butler Nolan reported to me," Duke White replied.

"What did he say?"

Duke White heard Aurora’s words and frowned. "Do you want to deny what happened in the forest?"

Aurora was still calm and replied, "It’s not like I want to deny what I don’t know, but from what I know, when the carriage is attacked, all bandits and knights died except for me, Mr. Wren, my knight William, my maid Les, and the new guard I brought from the Red Kingdom, Lester. How did Butler Nolan knew what happened in the forest when there’s no one who report to him?"

"Bandits?" Duke White was stunned and then realized that someone was playing tricks on him.

When the second butler, Butler Nolan came to him, he looked panicked. There was already the main butler and Butler Nolan’s work was not heavy and usually served Duchess Isabella. He was usually only working when the main butler was on a break or there was other incidents.

So Duke White was impatient.

But the news that came out of Butler Nolan’s mouth made Duke White’s blood pressure rise so high. He didn’t expect that his daughter would have such a thing happened to her.

If it was spread out, there was no doubt that there would be a lot of people who wanted to climb up by stepping on her.

Not to mention, there was still that engagement with Crown Prince Edward.

Duke White panicked.

He gave the order to shut everyone who heard this matter.

But now...

It seemed to be suspicious.
