Villain Princess.

Aurora was stunned.

She stood up and looked at the teacher who came in and asked, "Is it true, Teacher?"

"Yes."

The teacher nodded and handed over the letter in his hand. "Duke White’s messenger said that aside from that message, I have to deliver this to you."

Aurora nodded and took the letter.

Her face was somewhat ashen, but she still controlled her movement and her emotions to the best she could.

After facing the deaths of so many knights before, Aurora had been somewhat tempered with some people’s death. Compared to seeing someone die in front of her eyes, hearing about someone’s death was not as painful.

But facts proved that when the person involved was someone whom Aurora had known and interacted with for a period of time... it was really hard to calm down.

On the surface, Aurora still remained calm.

She took the letter and read the content carefully.

It was from her father.

Duke White explained that Mr. Wren was on his way to finish the negotiation when he was attacked by someone in Duke Sun’s territory. Duke Sun helped to deliver the body, but the person who attacked Mr. Wren remained unknown.

There was only some scarce description about who it might be.

Moreover, it was also said that what remain of the carriages were also transported back.

The bad news was that the copy of the negotiation paper carried by Mr. Wren was gone, which meant that the terms of the negotiation would be known to someone else.

It was not good.

"Headmaster, I have to go." Aurora looked at the Headmaster and then added, "If possible, I would like to take a long break academically."

"Long break?" The Headmaster repeated in surprise.

The so called long break was the rule of the academy where excellent student could take a long break if they have something urgent in their family. In exchange, they have to attend the test before or after their long break.

This was to ensure that they would not be taking a break illogically.

Aurora’s result has always been at the top and also the best. Moreover, the test result that the headmaster read just now had already proven that Aurora had the ability to answer even the hardest questions that might stop many researchers.

There was truly no need for Aurora to stay in the academy any longer.

And with the White Family’s vassal’s death, there were many things that Aurora had to do by herself.

"I understand," the Headmaster replied. "You don’t have to attend any tests and you can take as much break as you need to."

Aurora smiled politely. "Thank you, Headmaster. For this incident, you can do as you please."

The Headmaster froze.

Do as he please?

Looking at the paper in front of him that carried a lot of research value, the Headmaster knew that the information might be important for some researchers. Because Aurora seemed to give a different way to look at the problem.

If this paper was shown to the other academician and researchers, it was estimated that they would come directly and clamored to see Aurora.

Of course, what they wanted was to have a discussion with her.

It was just...

The Headmaster knew very well that this would also pose troubles because the scandal of this teacher might not be able to be covered. To a certain extent, it could damage the academy’s image.

After all, how else would the Headmaster explain why Aurora had to answer these questions...

Wait.

Aurora said that he could do as he please...

The Headmaster looked at the test paper in front of him.

He had no intention of claiming this knowledge as his. After all, the Headmaster knew his ability well and would not oversteps his bounds. He was also not greedy for wealth.

If he did, the Royal Family would not place him in this position to watch over their children.

He had to be worthy of their trust.

But the Headmaster thought about Aurora’s long break and departure.

It seemed that he could indeed use this event....

...

After Aurora came out of the Headmaster’s office, she made her way to her dormitory at the fastest speed possible.

Both Prince Lester and William followed her to the academy and trained here. Of course, they would not train with the other students and instead picked a relatively remote area to train every day when they were not in duty.

At night, they would be keeping guard not far from Aurora’s dormitory.

Even if this was the academy and should have been quite safe but just in case they still patrolled and took turns with each other.

At this time, Aurora had arrived at the dormitory.

She saw Les who had red eyes and then William, who was standing by the guard with an expressionless face. He didn’t show any emotion on his face. But Aurora knew very well that William was angry and devastated.

Even if William knew that his father had to face danger when he was going out...

But none of them thought that it would happen this time.

And they didn’t think that Mr. Wren would die.

There was indeed this risk. Everyone knew because they have faced the paid bandits’ attack on their way back to the Yellow Kingdom’s territory back then.

But even if they knew that... they didn’t think that it was possible for this to happen.

Everything seemed so sudden.

"Miss," Les greeted when she saw Aurora.

"Pack up everything," Aurora said, her tone was cold. "We’re going to Duke Sun’s territory after coming back to White Family’s Mansion."

With the leakage of the contract’s content, she would need to revise some of them. After all, there might be some people who wanted to take advantage of the contract for themselves.

For that, she had to copy the contracts first.

Without Mr. Wren to help, her workload would increase a lot.

"Yes, Miss!"
