Villain Princess.

Aurora could see Queen Farah was trying to suppress her emotion.

Any mother who cared for their daughter wouldn’t be able to accept this kind of thing and Queen Farah was not an exception.

She would not care too much about Queen Rachel deliberate targeting to herself. Because Queen Farah has gotten used to it over the years.

She also didn’t take Queen Rachel seriously.

But when Queen Rachel decided to target Queen Farah’s daughter, it would be the same as touching her inverse scale. There was no way that Queen Farah would remain silent to such provocation.

"What do you know about this?" Queen Farah took a deep breath and looked at Aurora intently.

"Does that mean we reach a deal?" Aurora asked with a faint smile on her face.

Seeing Aurora’s appearance, Queen Farah knew that Aurora had hold onto her weakness. But even if Queen Farah knew about this, she didn’t care too much.

This Aurora had already hold many people’s weakness in her hand and knew how to use them to make other propel follow her words. If they couldn’t hold their grounds in front of her, then they were destined to follow her words and there was nothing that could be done about that.

But Queen Farah didn’t mind.

Perhaps, other people who have dealt with Aurora also has similar mindset with her.

They knew that they were being taken advantage of in the negotiation with Aurora, but they also knew that what she could give them was very important.

So they were willing to bow their heads down.

"Yes." Queen Farah nodded.

Aurora smiled and took the paper to write the agreement for both parties. She didn’t expect that she would be able to solve the problems that was in her mind very quickly and even gained so much with just one encounter.

...

Before long, Queen Farah left.

Aurora looked at the agreement in front of her with interest and chuckled lightly. It seemed that even when she didn’t try to solve the problems yet, there would be a way opened up to her.

And this way was also very interesting.

"Call Karl here."

"Yes, Miss."

While Aurora’s main basis for Era Guild was in the Yellow Kingdom, Aurora still arranged for Karl to come to the Red Kingdom for the time being.

His family members, not related by blood but acknowledged by Karl, have all stayed in Viscount Arn’s territory.

In this way, Karl would have no qualms when he left.

He knew that his family were safe.

During this period of rapid expansion, Aurora needed Karl’s help because there were many things that she has to do. It would be impossible for Aurora to do everything by herself and this was where Karl came in.

"Miss, do you call for me?" Karl knocked on the door.

"Come in, Karl." Aurora looked at Karl, who was brimming with smile from ear to ear. It didn’t need a genius to know that Karl should have strike another profitable deal. This was the only thing that could make Karl happy in the Red Kingdom.

Without his lover Layla, Karl was usually very indifferent.

"Yes, Miss."

Aurora showed the emblem of the Paige Family on the table. "From now on, you can put this emblem in the guild. Make sure to put it somewhere conspicuous."

Karl’s eyes lit up. "Miss, we’ve the backing of Duke Paige now?"

Having the backing of a duke would make their operation much smoother. Even Karl couldn’t help but feel energetic when he thought that there was a duke behind him. Things would be very different from now on.

Back then in the Yellow Kingdom, the Era Guild was able to make a good use of the White Dukedom behind Aurora. As the duke’s daughter, why couldn’t Aurora make a good use of her family name?

She used it for Era Guild.

However, upon her return to the Capital Academy, Aurora asked Karl to put the emblem away and slowed down the expansion of the Era Guild in the Yellow Kingdom. What she wanted to do was for him to make a good use of this period of time to accumulate resources and money.

These resources and money would be put in Viscount Arn’s territory before slowly transported to the Red Kingdom.

They would be Aurora’s capital for businesses in the Red Kingdom.

Now, more than half of the resources have been used and Aurora had already started to receive a lot of return from the Red Kingdom.

Aurora had to say that she was very satisfied.

The Red Kingdom was indeed richer than the Yellow Kingdom. It would be much more easier to build businesses in the Red Kingdom.

Of course, Aurora didn’t dare to be too high profile.

If the Era Guild was targeted by someone troublesome, then Aurora’s investment would be all for naught. Thankfully, they were able to develop well in this period of time and now Aurora received the support of Queen Farah from Paige Dukedom.

Everything would be much easier from now on.

"Yes." Aurora nodded. "Expand with confidence and if there’s any trouble, I’m sure that this emblem is more than enough to scare many people."

Karl smiled evilly when he heard Aurora’s order.

Naturally, he would make a good use of this backing in front of him.

What was the use of a backer if they were not being put at the front to face the troubles?

"Yes, Miss."

Aurora nodded.

She knew that Karl would have no problem implementing this matter and what had to be done to expand the Era Guild was something that Karl knew from the bottom of his heart.

This man also had a lot of ambitions.

Though, he didn’t dare to overstep his bounds. He knew very well that he could only reach this stage with Aurora’s help and as Aurora’s servant, he had to prioritize Aurora’s needs and request.

Soon, Karl left.

Aurora was still in the room and slowly stood up. There were many rooms in the Era Guild’s building and Aurora took this entire floor for herself. She walked to the room next door and found Prince Lester was still busy reviewing the paper in front of him.

Era Guild was expanding rapidly and Aurora only have a pair of hand and a pair of eyes.

It was impossible for Aurora to manage everything by herself.

There were not many people whom Aurora could trust and Prince Lester was one of them.

Even though their contract was only temporary, but Aurora didn’t mind letting Prince Lester review some of the documents that were of less importance.

There was no problem at all with him knowing.

At least, Aurora felt that way.

"Miss." Prince Lester immediately stopped when he saw Aurora entering. His official status was still Aurora’s knight. Though, his work lately seemed to review various documents.

Thankfully, during the years when Prince Lester followed Aurora, she didn’t forget to teach him many things related to business and so on. In this way, when Aurora needed it, Prince Lester would be able to help her.

Of course, there were still limit to how much Aurora was willing to share to Prince Lester and let him know.

"You can rest for now." Aurora nodded at Prince Lester and sat down not far from him. "I’ve decided to have more contact with Queen Farah and Paige Dukedom behind her. From now on, you have to be careful of their enemies when you come out."

Every nobles have their enemies.

When Aurora was investigating the nobles, she naturally looked into their relationship with each other.

Many nobles didn’t see eye to eye and it was a bit troublesome.

She had to make sure she knew their background information and also their relationship to make a good use of it.

"Yes, Miss." Prince Lester nodded solemnly.

He had already read the information and naturally knew who Aurora meant by enemies.

Since Aurora had picked Queen Farah’s side, it just meant that she would be enemies to those who supported Queen Rachel. Even though Queen Rachel’s plan was thwarted by Aurora not long ago, but she still has a considerable power even in the Red Kingdom.

There were many nobles who were willing to side with Queen Rachel.

And now, Aurora would become a thorn in their eyes because she sided with Queen Farah.

When Aurora thought about this, the corner of her lips only curled up slightly. She has never been afraid of challenge.

If they thought that her head was so easy to take, then they are welcome to try.

She would entertain them well.

"You don’t have to be so serious." Aurora chuckled. "There are not that many people who could come close to me."

Prince Lester nodded, but he would still pay attention. When it concerned Aurora’s safety, he had to put it at the highest priority.

"It would still take some time before Queen Farah come back. In the next few days, you will help me to sort the paper."
