Benny slumped.
He felt that whatever suggestion he gave, Louis would be the first tone to veto it right away. It seemed that his ideas were all stupid ideas in the eyes of Louis.
Then again, it was indeed stupid.
"What do you think would happen if your reputation is destroyed like that?" Louis asked with a snort. "Think about the family behind you and don’t do anything stupid."
Benny nodded his head like chicken pecking rice. He knew very well that if he didn’t agree right now, then Louis might start a lecture to him right away.
Crown Prince Edward finally turned around after finding a bright gold colored suit and put it away. "Say, where’s Leon?"
There were only three people in this room right now.
Adela was clearly not here since this was Crown Prince Edward’s room in the male dormitory. Even if he is the crown prince, he had to follow the rules of the dormitory and not let Adela came here.
Louis and Benny were helping Crown Prince Edward to pick clothes.
But Leon...
He seemed to be missing.
"I don’t know," Benny answered crisply.
He didn’t care too much about Leon and the two of them didn’t usually talk with each other aside from fighting and sparring on the field. After all, their swordsmanships were really good.
It could be said to be the only thing he cared for too. Other matters didn’t seem to be that important.
"He’s practicing on the field," Louis answered. "He said that it’s about the time for the knight’s examination, so he practiced more to avoid making mistakes at that time."
Before coming here, Louis had come to see Leon for a short while, but the latter said that he needed to practice more. Louis had no interest to stop Leon from practicing, so he let that man be.
Anyway, there was no point in worrying about it.
"I see." Crown Prince Edward nodded. "I thought his skills are more than enough to pass?"
"He might be nervous." Louis shrugged.
"Heh, weaklings," Benny mocked. In his opinion, there was nothing that they needed to truly be concerned about for the examination. It was really easy and all they have to do is simply to show off their skills and then passed it.
It was really easy.
Why should one bother to practice more on the eve of the examination?
Well, Benny has full confidence in himself. He himself was not nervous back then when he took the examination.
So in his eyes, Leon was simply doing a useless thing that had no point in the slightest bit.
"Forget it. You should also prepare for the graduation party," Crown Prince Edward said and then looked at the suit in front of him. "What do you think of this suit?"
"It’s good." Benny felt that all suits looked exactly the same. No matter which one Crown Prince Edward chose, it should be good for him.
Louis also nodded. "It’s good."
He didn’t really want to stay here any longer either. It was almost time for the graduation party and he also had to prepare for his appearance.
It was just...
Louis looked at the letter on the table once more.
He still felt really bitter.
Benny noticed Louis’s gaze and saw the letter stamped with the Royal Family’s seal on the table. He knew that Crown Prince Edward asked for something from his father, but he was not sure what it was.
"By the way, are you going to take Aurora or Adela to the party later?" Benny suddenly asked.
During the time when Aurora was away, Crown Prince Edward would escort Adela to their end of year ceremony. Now that Aurora is here, Benny suddenly felt that Crown Prince Edward might be in for a dilemma.
The students have known that Crown Prince Edward and Adela were close.
When they saw Crown Prince Edward brought Adela during the end year party, they could see that this Crown Prince Edward... was not quite right.
But no one dared to say anything.
They didn’t dare to.
"You don’t have to know about it." Crown Prince Edward frowned and kicked Benny out of the room.
He felt that Benny was really tactless to ask such a question so openly. Besides, he didn’t want Benny to spread the word out before it was time for the graduation ceremony because it would only create more scandal for him.
Crown Prince Edward refused such a situation.
Louis saw Crown Prince Edward’s action and there was a faint haze in his eyes. He suppressed the thoughts in his head and said, "Your Highness, I’ll also prepare for the graduation party."
"Yes, yes, you may go." Crown Prince Edward didn’t care about them anymore and decided to dress up quickly.
Seeing this scene, Louis came out of the room. He took a deep breathe and slowly made his way to his own room.
As Crown Prince Edward’s subject, he had to work hard for the future king.
No mistake could be made.
Even if he felt stuffy in his heart, Louis knew that he couldn’t do anything about it and only followed the arrangement.
...
Aurora’s side
As the graduation party’s day arrived, she was busy to prepare herself to be ready for the graduation party itself. A woman had a lot of things to prepare, which included the make up, dress and so on.
Les was busy helping Aurora to do everything, including her hair, dress, and so on.
Thankfully, Aurora’s dress was not that complicated.
But...
"Miss, are you sure it’s enough to do this?" Les asked. She felt that she could prepare more for Aurora and this much was simply not enough. It couldn’t showcase Aurora’s full beauty without enough preparation!
"It’s enough," Aurora replied. "There’s no need to be so grand."
"But this is your only graduation party, Miss." Les felt conflicted when she thought that Aurora’s preparation was so simple like this. She felt that it was not enough to showcase Aurora’s real status.
