"Stay more in the academy?" The Yellow Kingdom’s King looked at his wife with arched eyebrows.
He could guess what Queen Ella was planning to do.
But...
"It’s not that easy for the two children to learn to be excellent. I think they would appreciate it if they can study more in the academy," Queen Ella replied calmly.
The Yellow Kingdom’s King glanced at his wife and was too lazy to speak.
He knew that this was nothing more than Queen Ella’s arraignment that was suitable for her.
As for what the two children actually want?
Queen Ella had never asked and only felt that her arrangement for them was simply the best.
The Yellow Kingdom’s King was already used to this.
He didn’t mind it either.
Since it was simply the best arrangement in his eyes too.
"Alright, I’ll arrange for it," The Yellow Kingdom’s King finally said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Queen Ella smiled brightly.
...
Unbeknownst to Aurora and Adela, their next few years in the academy had been arranged.
Of course, even if Aurora knew about this, she would not mind in the slightest bit. Because in her opinion, it would be better to spend her time in the library in the academy rather than coming back to deal with her father and mother.
Even if they have the confrontation yesterday, Aurora knew better than anyone that they would still keep up with the appearance on the surface.
It was annoying.
Upon reaching White Dukedom’s territory, Aurora and Mr. Wren went their separate ways. Mr. Wren will do the negotiation while Aurora met with the few people she had arranged before to do business here.
Slowly, Aurora reached a small merchant guild.
The guild had started operating since two years ago and the profit was accumulating step by steps. Not only the gold coins but also the property was expanding at a rapid pace, making it hard for others to ignore its existence.
However, the size of this guild could only be said to be a small one.
Aurora walked inside and the receptionist smiled to greet her. "Hello, Miss, do you need any service?"
"I would like to see your manager," Aurora replied and showed her family’s emblem. As the duke’s daughter and also someone who often went out, Aurora was allowed to hold her family’s emblem.
It was very useful as not many people dare to offend the duke’s family.
These guilds were all operating in the White Family’s territory and Aurora would be allowed to come here and be treated as VIP even if it was only her first time because of her status alone.
Being a noble did give a lot of convenience, but there were also many things that they have to do.
It was a position of power.
"Yes, Miss." The receptionist was naturally aware of the White Family’s emblem. She quickly retreated and called the manager to come over.
Before long, Karl came out and smiled when he saw Aurora. "Miss, please follow me."
Aurora nodded.
William and prince Lester was right behind Aurora, looking towards Karl. William had long known that Karl was the best among the few people whom Aurora funded some time ago. These people all received similar request and the difference was how they operated it in the end.
But the result from these people were all very different.
Aurora simply followed up with the investment and different tasks for each of them.
Prince Lester was looking at Karl thoughtfully. He seemed to realize that Aurora’s identity made it difficult for her to do some things, so she asked someone else to do the work for her.
It was more convenient this way.
But the people whom Aurora asked had to be someone she could trust.
Because if she didn’t trust Karl, at least to a certain degree, she would not let him do such a big business.
Soon, they reached the room inside and Aurora took out a book that she had prepared before. "For the next few years, follow the instruction from this book."
Karl arched his eyebrows and looked at the book inside. As he opened the first page, his face changed. He looked at Aurora with astonishment. "Miss, are you sure that you want to do this?"
"Yes," Aurora answered calmly.
"But would the Royal Family... no, before them, how about the White Family?" Karl asked anxiously.
If he were to do the things inside this book, then it was very likely he would offend a lot of influential people. And these people were also the people who should have been Aurora’s backing.
Wasn’t this the same as offending his own’s boss?
Karl couldn’t afford to do that.
Aurora knew his weakness very clearly and Karl was not going to put his own life on the line.
"You don’t have to care about them," Aurora said unhurriedly. "All you need to do is to earn as much money as possible and become the intermediary for many trades within the kingdom. Next year, the range will be expanded to other kingdoms."
Karl was stunned.
He understood each and every single one of Aurora’s words.
But when each and every single one of them gathered together, Karl felt that he couldn’t really understand Aurora.
Because what she did was simply taking the meat from the mouth of many people.
In the end, Karl sighed. "Do you not care that we’ll offend so many people that we might not be able to exist in this kingdom?"
"You don’t have to worry about that," Aurora said. "They’ll be busy with other things and when they realize it, it’ll be too late."
Originally, she didn’t plan to do this.
Because she knew that with the huge advantage she has of the knowledge of various territories and their needs, she could easily win over various deals that many other people couldn’t.
This was the advantage of information.
But after nearly died and knew what her enemies wanted... Aurora would make the best preparation for her own end.
