Villain Princess.

The second prince sighed deeply.

As the current crown prince, the position has become different. There were also many troublesome things that the second prince had to face.

Louis sat there without moving.

He understood very well that the second prince’s words meant that he would not use Louis in his entire life in the slightest bit.

Was it because he came to see the second prince so easily?

But with the current second prince’s position, there would definitely be many people who wanted to see him.

"Damn it..." Louis cursed in a low voice.

Before he went to interact with Prince Edward in the past, Prime Minister Lat had given him reminder that this bet would most likely affect his entire life no matter what the result would be.

But at that time, Prince Edward was already the crown prince. The Yellow Kingdom didn’t have the tradition of changing the crown prince once it has been appointed.

Who would have though that Prince Edward’s performance would be really bad over the years?

Even with Louis trying to support Prince Edward in many ways, Prince Edward has never gotten better. If there was any performance graph, it would only become worse and worse as time passed by.

At this time, Louis didn’t know whether he should feel regret or not for his decision in the past.

But he knew that his life is over.

Even if he tried his best, it would be almost impossible for him to advance in his career. It seemed that he would have to work extra harder if he wanted to have a place in the court. Or he could go back and work in his father’s territory instead.

But no matter it was, Louis knew that he could never reach his father’s rank.

From that day on, the name of Prince Edward and Louis slowly faded in existence. Not many people even remembered these two people existed.

One prince was a decadent and cripple prince, staying in the palace and didn’t show himself at all.

The other was an ordinary noble.

Perhaps, only very few people who could remember them. After all, who would remember people who didn’t appear much on one’s life?

In the Brown Family Residence, Annelie read the news telling that the second prince had been appointed as the crown prince and sighed deeply. She had also heard that the first prince would never be able to walk normally again.

That kind of life... would definitely be very miserable for him.

But Annelie chose not to participate in this kind of thing. She just had the feeling that Aurora should know the mess in the Yellow Kingdom and should stop making troubles soon.

Because her target has already been brought down.

While Annelie was thinking about what Aurora might do, Leon came to tell her that the war between the Yellow Kingdom and the Sand Kingdom were over. Duke Yelan did suffer a lot, but they managed to retain half of the mine as per agreement with the Sand Kingdom.

"If the end result is that we will divide equally, why fight in the first place?"

Leon shrugged. "I don’t know what they’re thinking."

Annelie: "..."

Well, she also didn’t know.

But it was good that the war was over after a few months. Even though there were a lot of resources burned to do this war, the result should be satisfying enough for the Yellow Kingdom’s King.

However, it was inevitable for Duke Yelan to be in deficit for a period of time. But with the accumulation Duke Yelan had over the years, this much would be fine.

At most, he should be scolding his sister a lot.

"Is your father alright?"

"My father?" Leon looked at Annelie strangely. "He didn’t really participate in the war between the Yellow Kingdom and the Sand Kingdom."

"I mean, isn’t it still within your territory? If the people were to suffer, they might blame your father," Annelie explained patiently.

"Oh." Leon smiled and shook his head. "Don’t worry, they understood."

The people in his region were already used to see battles and so on. Because resources were hard to find there and before they have stable trade with the White Dukedom, the situation was even worse.

Now that they have a battle for resources, these people would not complain much to his father.

They understood that this was necessary.

"Good." Annelie nodded.

Leon shook his head and looked at the letter in his hand. It was sent from Benny’s family who were worried because their son left to the Red Kingdom. They didn’t have much money left after losing their territory and didn’t have much connections to begin with.

For some reasons, they knew that he was quite close to his son in the Capital Academy and sent a letter, asking him to find out the whereabouts of their son.

But Leon truly didn’t know.

He had guessed that Benny should be trying to follow Adela to the Red Kingdom but whether he succeed or where he stayed, Leon didn’t know any of that.

Leon sighed deeply and shook his head.

He turned to look at Annelie, who had tossed the letter to the side and now playing with some things on her desk. There was a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

For some reasons, he was glad that he was not being targeted by Aurora.

His life might not be the best in the entire world, but it was already very good.

...

The Red Kingdom, Royal Palace

There were not many people who knew the situation in the Yellow Kingdom. After all, they didn’t really have the intention to pay attention to this matter.

At this moment, Adela was looking at her mother with aggrieved expression.

Duchess Isabella had only told her that there would be someone who will see her and this couldn’t be refused.

"Mother, I don’t want to," Adela said coquettishly. She didn’t really want to see anyone outside the few characters in the game. These people were all basically unknown to her and Adela didn’t want to see them.

"This is the Red Kingdom’s King’s order, Adela," Duchess Isabella said to her daughter. She actually also didn’t want Adela to meet with this noble. But for the time being, she’s in her brother’s territory and it wouldn’t do her any good not to listen to his words.

No matter how much Adela didn’t want to, she had to listen to her mother in the end.

"Fine..."

Adela sighed deeply.

In this period of time, Adela has been trying to spend more time with Prince Charles. But Queen Rachel would not make it easy for Adela to see him. To be exact, she kept on making Prince Charles study and didn’t allow him to see Adela.

The chance when Adela could see him, there would be another noble girl who came to see Prince Charles.

It was said that his engagement would also be set.

For this matter, Prince Charles felt rather helpless. His mother wanted him to be engaged with this girl because of her family background would support him to become the crown prince.

Prince Charles was in dilemma.

Part of him knew that this was what his mother wanted. But another part of him didn’t want this at all.

He only wanted to play around and stay with Adela as much as possible.

Thus, Prince Charles was more inactive, which made the girl’s family unhappy. Queen Rachel had to force Prince Charles to behave more appropriately and spent more time with them.

Adela was not even allowed to come to the place where the two of them were located.

This made Adela feel frustrated.

"Benny, are you there?" Adela went to the garden and called out.

After she came to the Red Kingdom, for some reasons, she found Benny managed to become a Royal Guard.

This made Adela wonder if the Royal Guard didn’t do any inspection before selecting people. After all, Benny came from the Yellow Kingdom, but he was able to become the Royal Guard in the Red kingdom easily.

Of course, Adela didn’t voice out this question.

It felt inappropriate.

"Yes, I’m here, Adela," Benny answered.

"Do you think I can avoid the Red Kingdom’s King’s arrangement?" Adela asked in a low voice. If it was possible, Adela truly didn’t want to follow his order.

Why can’t she be with Prince Charles instead?

Benny was silent.

To be honest, he didn’t expect Adela would ask this kind of question to him so suddenly. Looking at the current Adela who was filled with frustration, Benny could only answer, "I’m sure everything will be alright."

"I hope so." Adela sighed.

...

Aurora’s side 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

After the last contact with Queen Farah, Aurora hadn’t heard from Queen Farah or Prince Brian again.

That was until a letter came to her.

"So, the Red Kingdom’s King is still listening to his wife’s words." Aurora looked at the letter and tapped the table.
