Villain Princess.

Aurora felt that her sister was really strange ever since yesterday.

Even if Adela needed a doctor, there was no need for Adela to come looking for Aurora. Moreover, showing her sick appearance in front of the Royal Family would also be considered to be impolite.

If Aurora dared to do something like this, she was sure that her mother would lock her up and made her recite the etiquette book more than three times.

But if it was Adela, then her mother would only reprimand her lightly.

"Adela, you can ask your maids to ask for a doctor, you know?" Aurora said as she led Adela back to her room. Midway, she saw the Head Butler and signaled for him to call for doctor for Adela.

Adela blinked her eyes and then shook her head. "But I want to see you, Sister."

Aurora narrowed her eyes slightly. Her purple hue eyes looked at Adela and then asked, "Adela, do you forget that I have just accompanied you two days ago after the maids called a doctor for you?"

"I... I remember, sister, but I still want you," Adela stammered.

"Rest in your room. The doctor will come," Aurora said slowly and then added, "Mother will come back soon too."

Their mother came to the Royal Family's Palace to meet with the Queen. It was actually an excuse to let their children meet and get close to each other.

Their father has always been busy with his duty, so Aurora was not surprised not to see him. Anyway, the two of them rarely interacted with Duke White too because of his duties and so on.

"I..." Adela wanted to say that she wanted to take a look at the Crown Prince once more, but she also knew that her action would make other suspicious of her. She could only nod her head weakly. "I know, Sister."

Seeing Adela's weak look that seemed as if she was being bullied, Aurora took a deep breath and glanced at the maids. "Stay here and make sure Adela rest."

"Yes, Eldest Miss."

Ever since she was young, Aurora has been following her mother to learn many things. When Duchess Isabella was not at home, the maids and the servants would all listen to Aurora's words. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

But even though so, there has never been any precedent of Adela having to ask for permission from Aurora first.

Aurora would never restrain her sister.

Or more like, she couldn't.

The one more favored in their household was Adela and if Aurora dared to restrain her sister, her parents would reprimand her. This was something Aurora already knew from the very beginning, so she would not do anything she was not allowed to do.

"I have to go again."

Turning around, Aurora's eyes condensed.

She was sure that Adela was no longer the same Adela as before. The day when Adela called for doctor was not two days ago but three days ago. Even though Aurora did accompany Adela two days ago, but did Adela forgot about time?

It was not impossible.

But...

Aurora took a deep breath, suppressing the thoughts in her heart and went back to the living room.

She showed the perfect smile in front of Crown Prince Edward.

"Your Highness, my apologies for the disturbance. I hope it would not affect your mood," Aurora said slowly.

Crown Prince Edward chuckled. "It's fine, Miss Aurora."

The two of them were only 10 years old, but their education had made them more mature than their peers.

Even when they were conversing with each other, it was hard to find the trace of their childishness.

...

After another hour of talking with Crown Prince Edward, their conversation was more or less finished.

Aurora took a deep breath and then looked at the Head Butler.

"Miss, today you will continue your lesson. Tomorrow, Duchess Isabelle will bring you to Red Kingdom to let you start your education as the Crown Princess."

Since the Crown Prince was willing to accompany Aurora for a few hours, it meant that their engagement could be done. After all, they just needed to get along with each other.

As for feelings?

Ah, it was not important.

How could there be any feelings in these engagements that only seek benefit and position?

Aurora looked at the Head Butler and replied, "I understand, Head Butler."

The Head Butler nodded in satisfaction. "Come with me. It's time for your class."

Aurora has always been an excellent child. The education that was hard to digest even for Duke White when he was young could be learned by Aurora very quickly. If she was not a girl, Duke White would have wanted to pick her as the successor.

But now that she was selected as the Crown Princess, it was good enough.

With this connection, their dukedom would be able to thrive.

"Yes," Aurora replied calmly.

She followed the Head Butler calmly, showing the same appearance as she has always been. The obedient daughter of Duke White and this would never change.
