Villain Princess.

While Prince Lester killed Butler Nolan, William was heading to the knight’s area and did his own small investigation. Well, it was not really on his own because he came here under Aurora’s order.

The few rooms where Butler Nolan and his people stayed were searched by him.

Everything that could possibly put Butler Nolan in more difficult situation were bought out.

Looking at these things, William sighed deeply. He seemed to understand that there were many people who wanted Aurora to die.

They even dared to bribe someone who was so close to her.

It hasn’t been easy for her.

William took a deep breath and picked these things before making his way to see Duke White. These were all the evidences that Duke White would need to deal with the family behind Butler Nolan.

...

Mr. Wren came to the Royal Palace and delivered the documents there. He could see that the look of the prime minister was not right, but he said nothing.

What happened in the White Family Residence would be made known to the Royal Family later on. It would be clear that someone was trying to smear Aurora’s name.

It was just...

This incident might make things more difficult for Aurora.

Thinking about this, Mr. Wren just sighed deeply. He knew that there were not many people who appreciated Aurora and Mr. Wren himself couldn’t really do anything about it.

Speaking to them?

Whether they were willing to listen or not was already a question worth pondering.

As Mr. Wren came to White Family Residence, he could sense that the atmosphere was not quite right. There seemed to be depression and fear permeating from the servants and maids around.

Before long, Mr. Wren found William who had returned from Duke White’s study room.

"William, what happened?" Mr. Wren asked uneasily.

Since he wasn’t really Aurora’s subordinate, she didn’t tell him about his plan. She only asked him to deliver the documents to the Royal Palace.

"Butler Nolan died," William replied. "He’s one of the few people who participated in this event."

Mr. Wren was stunned.

He naturally knew Butler Nolan since both of them served the White Family. However, he didn’t know much about the other party aside from the fact that his position was actually quite important for the White Family as a whole.

After all, for one to reach the title of a butler, it would be impossible if they didn’t have any capability.

But now...

He actually dared to collide with the outsiders to deal with Aurora?

Mr. Wren felt conflicted and sighed deeply.

There were many ungrateful people in this world and this Butler Nolan would not be the only one. There might be others who would be willing to do what others asked them to do as long as they were paid enough.

He felt a bit sad when he thought about this.

"Father, you might want to wait a bit before reporting to Duke White," William reminded.

When he entered the study room not long ago, Duke White’s expression was dark and somewhat pale. And after he told Duke White that these were all the things found in Butler Nolan’s room, Duke White’s face was even darker.

While Duke White had expected that Aurora was telling the truth and that Butler Nolan collaborated with outsiders...

The evidences placed in front of him made him realize how bad he is when he picked people.

The main butler has served since his father’s era while this Butler Nolan was a person he picked by himself. This made Duke White seriously questioned his ability to see through people around him. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But no matter what he thought, he couldn’t change what had happened.

He could only clean up the annoying mess.

Thinking about meeting the royal family, Duke White already felt headache. Thankfully, the matter of Butler Nolan’s family could be settled quickly with the evidences procured by William.

Or could it be said his daughter.

She seemed to have long guessed what he wanted to do and what he needed, preparing everything with the most efficient time possible.

Aurora is really smart.

But would people be able to be outsmarted by such a girl?

Even Duke White felt really conflicted in his heart and didn’t really want to see Aurora again.

...

Aurora’s side

At this time, Aurora was staying in the confinement room.

The so called confinement room was actually a relatively small bedroom with a table and chair inside. There was nothing much to do here aside from sleeping.

After all, it was named confinement room not without reasons.

When Aurora was young, the butler had told her that this was also the punishment room for those who failed in the study and so on. Even her father was not spared and often spend his time here when he was young.

The maids would regularly clean this room, so it was not dirty.

It was just a bit dark since there was no window and lighting from outside. Only the dim lantern could provide her with some light to see.

Aurora herself used to come here when she first started studying.

Her mother’s expectation was really high.

If she failed to reach that expectation, she had to stay in this confinement room with the books that she had to memorize. The next day, her mother will come to her to test her again.

It was a miserable days.

In the past, Aurora really hated this room because she didn’t want to be punished.

But now...

Aurora didn’t feel anything much when she came to this room again.

Yes, it was a bit dark.

It was indeed not as good as her own room.

But it was clean and safe. At least, there was no one who would kill her at any moment.

Compared to the short time when she was kidnapped some days ago, Aurora felt that this room was countless times better.

Besides, she could also use this time to do some reflection.
