Villain Princess.

"The only graduation party..." Aurora repeated and smiled faintly. "Because we’ll only graduate once, right?"

Les heard Aurora’s words and felt that something was strange. She looked at her Miss with some confusion. "Miss?"

"It’s nothing." Aurora shook her head. "You just have to do enough."

Aurora closed her eyes and Les could only start brushing Aurora’s hair and braided it beautifully. Even though she felt that this was not enough to showcase Aurora’s beauty, but she would still do her best.

On the other hand, Aurora was not very interested in this graduation ceremony. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Because she knew very well that this was the day that those people had planned for such a long time to make sure that she could not turn over.

But Aurora only felt that it was ridiculous.

Their actions couldn’t be hidden from her eyes. She was no longer that helpless kid who could only follow what her parents arranged for her. From the moment they gave her freedom to do many things, Aurora was already outside their grasp.

She simply didn’t show it to them on the surface.

After all, it was more convenient for her to do things when they thought that she was still someone under them rather than when she was truly free like this.

But...

Aurora never planned to follow their arrangement obediently.

Brush! Brush!

Soon, Les was done and she wiped the sweat on her forehead with a bright and proud smile. "Miss, it’s done."

Aurora opened her eyes and looked at the mirror in front of her. She could see a beautiful brown haired girl staring back in her direction. Part of her hair was braided to the back and tied with a beautiful flower in the middle. Her wavy brown hair fluttered slightly, looking really beautiful.

Seeing her appearance, Aurora smiled faintly. "It’s good, Les."

"Thank you for your compliment, Miss." Les smiled brightly.

As Aurora’s maidservants, Les always wanted to make sure that Aurora looked the best. She felt immense satisfaction from seeing Aurora in this appearance.

"I would like you and William to go out first. There’s already carriage prepared for you to go," Aurora said.

"Eh?" Les was confused. They should have enough time to pack up later, right? But Les was not someone who would question Aurora’s decision. If Aurora gave her order, then Les would do her best to fulfill it.

"Yes, Miss."

Aurora stood up after she was done and looked at the mirror once more.

She was wearing purple dress, which of similar color with her eyes. This color looked suitable for her, making her look even more elegant.

After that, Aurora picked a fan from the table.

This was a fan that she had specifically prepared for her to bring. It could be used to cover her mouth in case she formed a sneer when she heard those annoying people’s words.

After that, Aurora opened the door and saw Prince Lester was standing there.

Since today was the graduation party, the dormitory’s rules were a bit more lax to a certain degree. But they would not let anyone made trouble here today.

The student’s knights were allowed to enter.

So Prince Lester was already waiting for Aurora here.

Aurora looked at Prince Lester’s face, which still wore a mask and then at the suit that Prince Lester wore. She nodded. "You look suitable to wear suits."

"Yes, Miss," Prince Lester replied in a low voice.

After that, Aurora turned to look at William, who was waiting at the other side. Unlike Prince Lester who had changed into a suit, William was still wearing his knight’s uniform.

"You go with Les as soon as possible. Protect her and if necessary... Kill anyone who dared to block the way."

When saying the last sentence, Aurora’s tone was laced with murderous intent.

Having followed Aurora for years and knew what she experienced, William was not surprised. He bowed slightly. "Yes, Miss."

"Let’s go, Lester. You’ll escort me today," Aurora said lightly.

"Yes, Miss."

The one who should have escorted a lady was their fiancé or it would be changed to close friends or knights if there were none. For someone like Aurora who had an engagement, it was only natural for Crown Prince Edward to escort her.

But Aurora knew that Crown Prince Edward should be with her sister right now and didn’t have any time to escort her.

Rather than coming alone... it would be better for her to ask her knight to escort her.

Anyway, it would not be completely wrong in terms of etiquette.

"Please be careful, Miss," William whispered in a low voice and then helped Les to carry the luggage.

He didn’t really understand why it was not him whom Aurora asked to stay behind but instead Prince Lester. After all, the relationship between Aurora and Prince Lester was only temporary cooperation to a certain degree.

Without that contract, there was nothing that actually bound Prince Lester.

But Aurora still chose him.

William didn’t understand, but he would still follow Aurora’s words.

He’s her knight.

It is a knight’s duty to listen to his master’s words.

"I’m always careful." Aurora chuckled.

She walked out of the dormitory with Prince Lester walking beside her, following her pace without any questions whatsoever.

Along the way, Aurora could see some of the noble girls were waiting for their respective fiancé or others to come and escort them. After all, it was what the etiquette taught them over the years.

Some of them cast surprise gaze when they saw Aurora left with someone else, but they said nothing.

The high level confrontation was not something they could touch with their status.

"It is foolish to place your hope on others. It is even more foolish not to use the chance presented in front of you," Aurora said in a low voice, ignoring the gazes of these people on them.

Perhaps, the actions of these noble ladies were the most correct ones for them. But Aurora knew very well that there was no point for her to wait or to work on Crown Prince Edward’s side.
