Villain Princess.

The negotiation had an afternoon break and after the fierce discussion internally within each of these delegations, they finally agreed to Aurora’s trade. Of course, the number was adjusted a bit.

The process itselt took some time. After all, it involved many areas and these people didn’t want to be taken advantage of. They had to fight for their own kingdom.

Aurora also knew about this and had to continue with the process of negotiation. She knew that it wouldn’t be easy, but with the preparation that she had made, the advantage still lies in Aurora.

But once it was done, the Yellow Kingdom was able to get a lot of benefits and advantage. Not all of the trades would be put in the water percentage and some others would actually be traded for money or other resources.

The specific trades for the resources based on territory would be discussed by the nobles in question.

But all in all, it was a satisfying trade for Aurora.

The other kingdoms were also quite satisfied to a degree aside from the Sand Kingdom who was hit hard. It could be said that they lost quite a lot this time and it might affect their situation for the next year.

The representative from the Sand Kingdom had the feeling that Aurora purposely target them in this negotiation.

In the precious years, they were able to take a lot of advantages from the Yellow Kingdom. It was through the continuous efforts that they managed to win.

After all, the Sand Kingdom’s territory was a bit hard to make trades and so on.

Their main target was the areas with enough food to trade for them which included the Yellow Kingdom, specifically the White Dukedom.

Now that Aurora was the one in charge, they were clear that Aurora would not let it easy for them to win. In order to get the same amount of food as last year, they had to pay more.

It was quite painful if one has to say.

"Mother, it’s done," Aurora said to her mother.

Duchess Isabella looked at her daughter and nodded. "From next year, you will be the one handling the negotiation on her own. The percentage for yourself will follow the usual rate."

The usual rate.

Even though it was just a few percent, but it was still a lot considering that Aurora had secured 5 deals in this negotiation. Of course, three of them still needed the nobles to come forward and settle the specifics.

Only then would Aurora receive her share.

But even with this, the funds that Aurora wanted to accumulate had already been gathered.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t directly use it.

She still has to settle the other trades and when it was over, it was estimated that it would already be the time for her to enter the academy.

Yes academy.

There was an academy specialized for nobles in the Yellow Kingdom. In this academy, the students have to learn many things and it could also be said that it would be their stage for the next six years.

Aside from a few classes in which both men and women had to learn, there were also some other special classes that they would attend separately.

After all, there were still differences between women and men.

Normally, these noble son and daughters would receive education in their respective families. Those with better family background would naturally receive more and better education.

On the other hand, those with lower academic education would have lower etiquette ability.

This academy helped to bridge this gap.

Even if it couldn’t fully cover it, but it would help them to learn more systematically and also to make sure that these noble son and daughters were qualified to become the next successor.

Besides, not all noble son and daughters entered the academy as some of them would study at their respective families. But if they truly wanted to expand, they would have to enter the academy.

After all, they were not only studying there.

They were also expanding their connection.

Aurora would be 12 in late autumn and Duchess Isabella wanted her to enter the academy, so she wouldn’t be able to settle the ends she had collected. In any case, she would have time to go next year, so Aurora was not exactly in a hurry.

She still has enough time.

"Yes, Mother," Aurora replied calmly.

Duchess Isabella walked back and then recalled something, "Her Majesty the Queen wants to see you." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Her Majesty the Queen?

Aurora’s footsteps stopped.

When the engagement between Aurora and Crown Prince Edward was settled back then, she should have been asked to meet with the Queen. But for some reasons, the Queen hadn’t called for Aurora.

Besides, when the engagement was made, the two children didn’t really meet with each other a lot.

It was almost time to enter the academy.

Perhaps, the Queen wanted Aurora to have more interacting with Crown Prince Edward there?

It would be a bit troublesome.

But it was not an impossible request.

Aurora put down her thoughts as she followed the maids in the direction of the Queen’s palace. Looking at the way the servants behaved, Aurora could see that the Queen should be a strict person.

The way a servant behaved could reflect their master’s behavior more or less.

And from what Aurora could see, the Queen is a strict and stern person.

She was not sure to what degree, though.

"Your Highness, Duke White’s daughter, Miss Aurora White is here."

"Let her in."

"Yes."

The door opened and Aurora stepped inside. The hall was decorated in gorgeous red color and looked extremely vibrant and bright. Sitting in the middle was the Queen, who was looking in Aurora’s direction.

She had beautiful long blond hair and looked rather cold. It might be that her expression was rather chilling, but she still showed a faint smile when she looked at Aurora.

The problem is that the smile didn’t reach her eyes.
