Villain Princess.

Aurora sighed deeply after she was separated from Louis.

She could guess that this could be used as another source of rumors, but she was not worried.

In fact, she wondered how those people would react if they knew that she had a contract with Sand Kingdom’s Prime Minister.

*chuckle*

Unfortunately, she wouldn’t have the chance to see their expressions personally. It was almost time for the graduation party.

She also had some preparations to make.

For other things, she had no other choice but to put this matter to the back of her head.

...

Amidst the strange atmosphere in the academy, time passed quietly.

At this time, Crown Prince Edward was looking at the clothes in front of him, trying to pick the one that would make him look the most handsome for the celebration party not long from now. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Louis and Benny were in the room, helping him to pick the clothes.

Though, they were not very helpful.

"You can just pick any of them and it’s suitable for you," Benny complained. For him, there was no differences between these clothes in front of him and no matter which one Crown Prince Edward chose, it would be suitable for him.

He really didn’t understand the use of picking clothes for so many hours like this.

"No, I have to pick the best clothes." Crown Prince Edward snorted.

Louis looked at Benny helplessly and then glanced at Crown Prince Edward. "You look best in gold color, just like your eyes."

"Ah, gold color, huh?" Crown Prince Edward nodded.

Gold color is the unique color of the Yellow Kingdom and Crown Prince Edward was naturally proud of having this pupil color. But if he were to wear gold, would it look appropriate for him?

Crown Prince Edward was struggling.

Louis didn’t bother with Crown Prince Edward and his eyes moved to the letter on the Crown Prince Edward’s table. It was the letter from His Majesty, the Yellow Kingdom’s king, to reply to Crown Prince Edward’s inquiry some time ago.

"Has His Majesty agreed to your arrangement?" Louis suddenly asked.

"Ah?" Crown Prince Edward heard this and nodded. "Don’t worry, they didn’t mean to disagree. You just have to continue with the graduation party as usual."

"I see..."

Louis felt a sense of loss in his heart when he heard Crown Prince Edward’s words. In the past few months, he had gotten closer to Adela and found her to be really cute. She might not be very smart or have any kind of special talent that made people look in her direction, but he felt that she was really good.

So when Crown Prince Edward suddenly announced it to him and also wanted to tell his parents, he was at loss.

This was the first time in his life to feel that way.

From Crown Prince Edward’s behavior, Louis could guess more or less about the content of the letter from the Yellow Kingdom’s King.

He should have agreed.

Ah...

Why did he agree?

"How about Lady Aurora?" Louis suddenly asked.

"Huh? Why should I care about her?" Crown Prince Edward asked back. He tilted his head and then said, "It doesn’t seem to be that important for me to talk to her, right?"

Louis looked at Crown Prince Edward and frowned. He felt that it was not right.

"Besides, she has been bullying Adela a lot."

"Huh? She did?" Benny frowned. "Should I teach her a lesson in the swordsmanship class?"

There were still classes and both Benny and Aurora were both in the swordsmanship class. But because of their genders, Aurora didn’t usually have any interacting with Benny.

After all, the practice during the class was divided to the boys and girls respectively in accordance to their own level too. In this way, their training would be more effective without breaking the etiquette.

While there could be some sparring between the boys and the girls if they wanted to, Aurora didn’t usually spar with the boys.

So Benny had to be the one to initiate the challenge if he wanted to.

"You’re already a knight and you want to spar against a lady? What do you think your reputation would be afterwards?" Louis scolded.

He knew that Benny was stupid, but couldn’t he think that his own reputation would be the one destroyed if he were to initiate that kind of challenge?

As the youngest knight, he was already the strongest in the academy.

Many boys were not his match and now he wanted to challenge a girl?

What kind of joke it is?

"Ah... then I won’t." Benny pursed his lips. He couldn’t stand seeing anyone bully Adela, especially since he had sworn that he would protect Adela with all he got. When Louis said that Aurora bullied Adela, he only thought about teaching a lesson to Aurora without thinking about what the consequences would be if he made a move personally.

But after saying that, Benny was confused what he should do. If he couldn’t do it personally, should he ask someone who were close to him?

The problem was, these people were all boys...

There were no female apprentice knights that he knew because he always felt they were too weak and not worthy of his attention at all.

"Can I ask Leon to do this instead?" Benny suddenly asked.

Leon was not that weak but he was not that strong either. It should be fine to ask him to do this kind of thing, right?

Louis passed a glance at Benny. "Leon is also aiming to become a knight and as a duke’s son, do you think his education is any less than you? It’s said that he has the best result below you. If the second best in class challenge someone ordinary and that person is also a girl, do you think Leon will do it?"

Benny opened his mouth.

Thinking that Leon was indeed not someone who liked to bully those weaker than him, the answer would be a big no.

"Uh... no."
