Villain Princess.

So hearing her mother’s question, Annelie chuckled. "You don’t have to worry about this matter, Mother. I’m not stupid."

For the nobility, the most important thing for them were naturally their reputation, status, and contacts. Only through having these three would they feel satisfied enough. Money would naturally come with their status, so they were usually not worried.

Moreover, Marquess Brown had her steward be the one managing most matters in the residence. She knew proportions and would not be so lavish but would still show her face very often on the high society.

"Do you think it’s possible for you to be the flower of the society?" Marquess Brown asked with a faint smile.

Flower of the society was only the unofficial terms used by the people in the high society for the person with the highest impact in various matters in high society. In the past, the flower of the society would refer to either Marquess Brown or Duchess Isabella because the two of them were basically the two people who were most active in the high society.

Queen Ella used to be quite active in the high society, but after she became the queen, she reduced her presence.

After all, many people would definitely look up to her whenever she appeared.

There was no need for her to actively engage in various parties.

Besides, Queen Ella had other matters that she had to attend to in the palace, so other women also understood that Queen Ella couldn’t always participate in various matters. They understood and had no interest to meddle in this matter.

"Mother, who do you think will be my opponent?" Annelie asked back with a faint smile.

When she first entered the academy, Annelie honestly thought that the flower of the society would be placed on Aurora’s hand.

Because she had seen how Aurora dealt with these women and how her presence alone was more than enough to make people stepped back and didn’t dare to see her directly.

She was really powerful.

If she truly wanted to, Annelie was sure that Aurora would have long made her place among the women and so on.

But Aurora took a different path and instead made connections directly to the families behind these women and held their lifelines through various trades and so on. Annelie had to admit that she didn’t understand most of them because they were too complicated, though.

But without Aurora in the picture, there were not many noble ladies who could contend with Annelie.

That was also if they really want to contend against her.

These noble ladies didn’t really want to fight for that position because many of them were not qualified. It was usually only the people at the very top such as the duke’s daughter or the marquis’ daughter who would have some thoughts.

"Marquis Vela’s daughter is also quite active in the high society." Marquess Brown frowned when she thought about this.

"She’s a few years older and hadn’t been very active in the high society lately." Annelie shook her head. "And no one had been able to truly rule the high society, so you don’t have to be so worried, Mother."

To become the most influencing person in the high society, they needed to have the status and connection.

Annelie had both.

As a marquis’s daughter, she was only lower than duke’s daughter but how many duke daughters are there in the Yellow Kingdom?

There were only two, Aurora White and Adela White.

Aurora had been missing for quite some time and could be said to ’disappear’ from the high society. While Annelie was not very happy about this matter, but she also knew that Aurora should also have her own plan.

So the only possibility left was only Adela White.

But...

Annelie shook her head. "Adela White will never be able to become the flower of the society."

Her sentence was firm.

This was because Annelie remembered Adela’s performance in the Capital Academy very clearly. Duchess Isabella might be one of the few people who had high influence in the high society, but this talent of hers was clearly not being inherited by her daughter.

Adela couldn’t be compared to Duchess Isabella in the slightest bit.

If anything, people would even think that Adela was very lacking and might not be suitable to be called as a noble daughter.

"What makes you so sure?" Marquess Brown looked at her daughter curiously. Even she could never say this so certainly when she talked about the few other people who contended against her in the past.

Duchess Isabella was also a very troublesome opponent.

The two of them were very active in the high society and tried their best to make their voices heard. So far, Duchess Isabella was winning against Marquess Brown because of her higher status, but Marquess Brown was not that far off.

She has been doing well in this matter.

"Because she’s basically the only person who didn’t pass the etiquette class," Annelie replied with a faint smile.

Didn’t pass the etiquette class?

Hearing this, Marquess Brown arched her eyebrows and chuckled.

For the noble girls, they knew very well that the etiquette classes were very important for them and would pay attention intently. This was because they didn’t want to lose face and had to try their best to make sure that they followed the etiquette strictly.

But Adela did the opposite.

Her learning towards etiquette could barely pass and this was also the result of the teachers giving Adela some additional classes after their formal classes were over.

So, such a person wanted to be the flower of society?

She would be criticized first by the other girls.

"Even if her etiquette is not bad, but if her position is high, there might stile be people who want to support her," Marquess Brown reminded her daughter.

In this world that valued a person’s status very highly, she didn’t want her daughter to stumble and fell because she was careless.
