Villain Princess.

Aurora read these response from the nobles with relish.

She almost laughed out loud when she read some of their comments that were reported word by word.

The action of the Yellow Kingdom’s King and his decision had caused a lot of waves.

And Aurora had honestly expected this to happen.

For some people, a stupid crown prince like Crown Prince Edward was simply the best. Because it meant that they didn’t have to worry about him restricting them and able to do many things on their own.

But for some others who wished for the Yellow Kingdom to improve and so on, Crown Prince Edward was simply too bad. They didn’t want to serve such a king and would rather pick the second prince who was more sensible.

Even though Aurora didn’t have much contact with the second prince, she knew that he would do a much better work compared to Crown Prince Edward.

For the time being, the Yellow Kingdom’s King hadn’t fully given up on Crown Prince Edward and still wanted to test him. Yet, in this seemingly ordinary move, there were many people who have strong reactions and also watching Crown Prince Edward.

Whether Crown Prince Edward could keep his title or not would depend on his performance.

And in Aurora’s opinion, it would be hard for Crown Prince Edward to accomplish anything because that stupid crown prince kept on saying that he wanted to be a good king who cared for his people, yet he didn’t want to study. All of his work were thrown to Louis and the others around him.

He only wanted the result without the hard work that accompanied it.

How could it work that way?

There were already many people who were exasperated with this crown prince. Now that Crown Prince Edward was in this position, there might be some people who moved their hands and feet secretly.

’It must be interesting to see their faces.’

Aurora shook her head and put the letter away.

She knew very well that because of her action, it would be a miracle for her to be accepted back in the Yellow Kingdom. On the surface, it didn’t look like she did anything but to face Crown Prince Edward, though.

But some people should have noticed what she did by now.

There would be many people who wanted her dead by then.

Aurora looked outside the carriage.

She’s now in a carriage heading to the Red Kingdom.

As much as Aurora would like to stay in the Yellow Kingdom, she knew better than anyone that once the people in the Yellow Kingdom found her, she would definitely be killed. Or even worse, a life worse than death.

Rather than waiting for such a thing to happen, wouldn’t it be better for her to leave first? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Viscount Arn’s territory could be said to be her way to leave a place to the people who have followed her over the years. There were many people who couldn’t possibly leave with her.

In the end, only four people were leaving.

The rest stayed behind.

Not that Aurora cared that much, though.

Aside from Era Guild, which she had worked hard to build over the years, Aurora didn’t have much attachment to the Yellow Kingdom.

Is it strange?

All Aurora could remember from the days in the Yellow Kingdom was the fact that she couldn’t live a life she truly wanted to and had to listen to the words of many people around her who had higher status.

They wanted something from her, expect many things for her to do.

It was a really tiring life.

What Aurora wanted the most was to get away from it and stay in a place far away from these things.

"Miss, we’re about to reach the border," William reminded from the front of the carriage. He was the one driving the carriage and would take turns with Prince Lester later.

"Yes," Aurora replied.

The construction of the road that was agreed on with Count Celeste was monitored by Karl. She didn’t have to stay there and watch until the road was done since Aurora had other things to do.

As the leader, Aurora knew that one had to have some capabilities on their own but at the same time, they needed to know that they didn’t have to do everything on their own. The reason why they have subordinates was so that they could focus on the most important thing and the other things could be handled by their subordinates.

Karl was more than enough for this business dealing.

And as much as Aurora would spend more time with Lucy, the two of them knew that they have their own separate lives.

There would be time when their path no longer crossed each other.

Friends came and goes.

It was only natural.

"Let’s stop for a while," Aurora said.

"Yes, Miss."

The carriage stopped and Aurora walked out of the carriage. She stretched her hand and then beckoned for Les to take care of the horse. They would still go for quite a distance, so the horse had to be taken care of.

Les bowed and then took some water for the horse to drink.

Aya looked around her and noticed that this area was quite well maintained. It seemed that the people in the village at the front was taking care of this area.

"Miss, water." Prince Lester came and handed Aurora a bottle of water. When they were going out, they also prepared a lot of materials and the one who took care of them were mostly Prince Lester and the others.

"Thank you," Aurora said and then sipped some water.

She was still admiring the scenery and glanced at the side. Prince Lester was looking in her direction intently as if he wanted to watch her all over, which made Aurora felt a bit strange.

"You don’t have to look at me all the time, Prince Lester."

"I’m responsible for your safety, Miss."
