Villain Princess.

"Aurora, do you hear me?" Duke White called out.

Aurora raised her head and looked at her father in front of her. To be honest, she really didn’t want to follow her father’s order.

But...

"I heard it, Father. I know what to do," Aurora replied.

"Good." Duke White nodded in satisfaction. He thought about something else. "One more thing, the financial management that Mr. Wren used to hold, I’ll take care of it for the time being."

Aurora looked at her father and then nodded quietly. "Yes, Father."

Seeing that his goal has been achieved, Duke White nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, you can go now."

"Yes, Father."

After the conversation was done, Aurora walked out of her father’s study room. Her eyes were cold and there was a faint chills when one looked into her eyes.

Aurora took a deep breath and saw the Head Butler come to her.

"Eldest Miss," the Head Butler called out.

"Yes?" Aurora asked in a low voice. "Is there any problem?"

"Yes, Miss." The Head Butler took a deep breathe. "Madam hadn’t managed the mansion’s financial for a long time and there’s a lot of backlog. Moreover, she spends more lately and I need your help, Eldest Miss."

Aurora thought about her mother’s order to let her continue participating in the trades and so on sometime ago and the corner of her lips curled up coldly.

No wonder her mother didn’t want her to give up on the trades and so on.

It was all to fund her lavish lifestyle.

Nobles spent more than ordinary people and this fact was something that Aurora knew. In order to keep their face, they have certain number of money they had to spend to keep their appearance. Moreover, there were many people in the mansion whose life depended on their master.

It cost a lot of money to manage the entire mansion.

This was only the necessary cost.

But there were also various other events that they might participate in that cost them money.

"Does nothing could be done?" Aurora asked.

"No, Miss." The Head Butler was nervous.

Aurora took a deep breath. "I’ll take a look for an hour. After that, everything will be handled by you, Head Butler."

Handled by him?

The Head Butler was a bit troubled but he could only agree.

Aurora sighed and followed the Head Butler to look at the financial book of Duke White’s Mansion.

It was good if she didn’t see it.

But when she saw what her mother did, Aurora realized that even with her earning more money, they were in the state of deficit.

Aurora sighed deeply.

"Head Butler, did you not tell her about the budget?" Aurora asked.

"I told her, Eldest Miss," The Head Butler replied. But whether she listened or not, I don’t know.

The last sentence was definitely not spoken out loud but both Aurora and the Head Butler knew about this. They even guessed that Duchess Isabella purposely didn’t pay attention and simply do whatever she wanted.

It was really troublesome.

Aurora sighed and flip through the book in front of her. Her eyes flickered when she saw some items that her mother bought.

The price...

It was wrong.

Her mother shouldn’t have been scammed, so...

Aurora’s eyes flashed with a glint as she continued to check and then made the arrangement with the Head Butler.

...

After finishing with the arrangement, Aurora went to her room and took the documents with Duke Sun from before. It was naturally the copy that she had kept with herself.

There were a total of four copies that were made before.

One copy was with the other party, one copy for Aurora to submit to the Yellow Kingdom’s King once everything was done, one for Duke Sun, and the last one was the backup in her hand.

Now that it has come to this point, Aurora had to use this backup contract to see Duke Sun.

"Lester," Aurora called out.

"Yes, Miss?" Prince Lester replied. He and William were following Aurora and this time, Prince Lester was accompanying Aurora.

"Sit down and copy this document." Aurora handed a piece of paper and also a document to Prince Lester. "Make it exactly the same."

Prince Lester had a blank look on his face.

Even if he had been trained under William in the past few weeks, but he had not been taught the other educations.

Well, he was allowed to read by himself if he wanted to, though.

Aurora saw the surprise in Prince Lester’s eyes and looked at the young prince in front of her. Because of malnutrition, Prince Lester was shorter than her. The two of them were around the same age and if Aurora was not wrong, Prince Lester was a few months older than her.

"Are you surprised?" Aurora asked.

"Miss, this is a confidential document," Prince Lester said slowly. It wast not like he didn’t want to read it.

He wanted to read it.

Who didn’t know that Aurora is a negotiating genius?

Many people were full of praise of her and Prince Lester had heard many things about Aurora before even when he was in the Red Kingdom.

Well, it was mostly from Queen Rachel who has to face Aurora and felt that the girl was terrible.

Their consolation was that Aurora has the Red Kingdom’s Royal blood.

"Do you think you’re not worthy to read it?" Aurora chuckled. She looked at Prince Lester. "I know you’re unwilling to remain the same in your situation, so now I give you a chance to grow. Whether you can grasp it depends on your own decision."

"The knowledgeable vassal would be more useful than a useless vassal. I bring you because I want to use your ability rather than just bringing you out because of pity or because of your face."

Aurora paused for a moment and then added, "Of course, I would not want any white eyed wolf, so you better not forget about our agreement before, Prince Lester."
