Villain Princess.

Aurora spent most of her time either in the club room or in the library. Because only these two places were quiet enough to let her be in peace.

Today, she got a visitor, though.

"Second Prince, you don’t have to hide if you want to talk with me." Aurora raised her head and looked at the second prince who was hiding and peeking behind one of the bookshelves in the library.

She felt that his action was rather hilarious.

There was truly no need for him to hide when he saw her no matter how bad the rumors about her out there, right?

"Ah..." The second prince came out from behind the bookshelf shyly.

He was around five years younger than Crown Prince Edward, being only 12 years old. This was also his first year in the Capital Academy and his study was only slightly better than his older brother.

It could be said that the current generation of princes have relatively lower IQ.

Aurora looked at the second prince and bowed slightly. "Aurora White has seen His Highness."

"There’s no need to be so polite." The second prince quickly raised his hand. "I’m just a bit surprised to see Senior Sister here and didn’t really mean to avoid you."

Aurora smiled. "Yes, Your Highness."

The second prince didn’t seem to be a person who’s good at lying. He was so easily flustered and the excuse was not very good.

However, Aurora had no intention to expose his lies.

The second prince pursed his lips and looked at the book in Aurora’s hand. He blinked his eyes and then asked, "Do you like reading so much?"

The second prince has only been in the Capital Academy for a short while, but he had heard various rumors about Aurora. As a first year student, he didn’t have much interactions with the seniors above his year.

Aurora and Crown Prince Edward were both in the sixth year, so the second prince didn’t know much about them.

He only felt that it was strange for the crown princess to have such rumors spreading about her.

With her family’s background and her status, who would dare to speak badly about her?

And it was also during this period of time that the second prince saw Aurora in the library. To be exact, he saw her every day spending her time in the library.

It was completely the contrary to the rumors spreading about her.

This made the second prince wonder if the rumors were even true in the first place. How could Aurora be someone who bully others when she looked so peaceful in the library like this?

The second prince originally only planned to observe for a short while, but Aurora found him.

He could only step forward and explained his purpose.

"Reading is a way to enter a different world," Aurora replied. "And it also helps to explore a completely different way of thinking."

The second prince nodded.

Aurora looked at the book in the second prince’s hand and smiled. "As long as you learn well, I’m sure you’ll be able to know more, Your Highness."

"Ah..." The second prince looked at the book in his hand. He was not very smart and it took him a long time to understand what the teachers were saying. Because of that, he chose to spend some of his spare time to study on his own.

Even though the result might not be very good, but at the very least, he was trying to improve himself.

Little by little, the second prince would accumulate enough knowledge.

"I’m just trying to make up my lesson," the second prince replied.

Aurora nodded.

This attitude is already 100 times better than that lazy crown prince. Perhaps because the crown prince has everything from birth and also promised such a high position after he grew up that he became conceited and felt that everything was already his.

That kind of attitude was really annoying in Aurora’s opinion.

"Would you like me to help your study, Your Highness?" Aurora asked.

"Can you?" The second prince’s eyes lit up when he heard this. Aurora’s result is the best in her year and he had heard that Aurora’s name has always hung at the first place. It was said that even the teachers might not be as good as her.

In this case, the second prince would definitely learn much more if he were to study with Aurora.

"Why not?" Aurora asked back with a chuckle.

"Then I’ll trouble you."

The second prince sat beside Aurora and showed the book he had chosen.

Aurora smiled and slowly helped to teach the second prince. Upon listening to the second prince’s inquiries and also what he wanted to know, Aurora knew that the second prince’s knowledge was still comparable to his peers.

It was not very outstanding and could be said to be barely enough.

But it was far better than Crown Prince Edward when he was at the second prince’s age.

Coupled with the difference in their attitude, Aurora felt that this second prince would become a better king than the current crown prince.

But that would depend on whether the second prince wanted to fight for the throne or not.

Because if he didn’t want to, he could still live a leisure life as the prince.

Just like her uncle in the Red Kingdom.

He became the duke with no territory and spent his days living lavishly without the need to worry about anything.

It was still a good life.

However, he still has to be careful so that he would not be seen as a threat by his older brother or he might be eliminated first.

"Do you like studying, Your Highness?" Aurora asked after an hour or two have passed. The second prince have learned enough for the day and he needed rest.

Not everyone was raised like her who have to study almost every moment of her awake’s time.
