"You..." Crown Prince Edward was stunned with Aurora’s move.
This...
She directly left?
Did she not want to say anything or anything like that?
Not only Crown Prince Edward was stunned, the other students around were also stunned by Aurora’s decisive action.
If it was them who were suddenly disowned by their parents and having their engagement broken, they would definitely cry and having a breakdown. Even if they tried to restrain their feelings, they would not be as indifferent and as cool as Aurora.
She looked as if she didn’t really care whether she was still engaged or not.
Moreover, her movements actually looked a little cool.
At least, this was from the perspective of the other noble children around. None of them dared to do the same thing as Aurora.
They felt respect from their heart.
Of course, some others were unconvinced and felt that Aurora was pretending.
How could she be so calm when her entire world was basically destroyed?
"Are you leaving?" Louis asked, his tone was full of disbelief. He was the one who proposed this event to Crown Prince Edward.
On one side, he wanted to see Aurora’s embarrassed look. On another side, it was necessary for Aurora to know that Crown Prince Edward would no longer choose her but instead chose Adela.
With Adele being Aurora’s sister, her status was also really good.
There didn’t seem to be any problem in terms of status alone.
"Otherwise?" Aurora turned her head to look at Louis and smiled faintly. "I accept this dissolution of marriage and the banishment. Now, I just need to go, right?"
After that, Aurora had reached the door and Prince Lester helped her to open the door respectfully. He didn’t seem to pay attention to the other noble children around and focused on Aurora’s side.
"That’s..." Louis was dumbfounded.
She accepted it?
And the way Aurora accepted it was the one that made many people felt unreal. They felt that they were hearing things wrongly.
Some of them, who also wanted to see the high and proud Aurora deflated felt that they couldn’t do anything. They felt at loss in their heart.
This...
Is this it?
Crown Prince Edward frowned and turned to look at Adela. "From now on, Adela White is my fiancée. She’ll be the crown princess and the future queen."
"Your Highness." Adela also knew that the situation was a bit wrong, but she turned to look at Crown Prince Edward and felt moved with his action. She smiled brightly and tears pooled in her eyes.
Crown Prince Edward smiled with satisfaction.
Behind them, Benny was watching this scene and turned to look in the direction where Aurora left. There was a strange glint in his eyes. He felt that if Aurora’s matter was not solved, it was impossible for Adela to be happy.
And what he wanted the most was to see Adela happy.
As her knight, he had to protect her.
Thankfully, he had already told his father about Crown Prince Edward’s plan and the knights in his family should have made their moves by now.
No one can stop Adela to be the queen.
Louis was still at loss, but he quickly accepted it. He felt dissatisfied with Aurora’s result, but at the very least he managed to reach what Adela wanted.
Seeing Adela’s smile, he felt conflicted.
He was happy and also sad at the same time.
Because Louis knew very well that he actually wished to be the one beside Adela instead of watching her be with Crown Prince Edward.
Yet, he also knew that she didn’t want this.
So he couldn’t do anything.
He could only felt conflicted and silently supported them from the back.
"Is it done?" Leon muttered in a low voice when he watched Aurora’s back leaving. He had heard about Aurora countless times from his father about various matters such as the trades and also the negotiation.
From what he knew, Aurora is a strong girl.
She would not admit defeat so easily.
He knew that he had to stand by Crown Prince Edward’s side, but thankfully, there was no need for him to speak at all.
Aurora’s defense was very short.
So short that it seemed more like formality.
But....
Leon looked outside and furrowed his eyebrows. Many knights were dispatched today and he could guess that their reason should be because of Aurora.
As for who sent them?
There were many people who didn’t want to let Aurora go peacefully.
’So be it.’
Leon shrugged and chose not to think too much about it. He should go back and rest because he would have the examination to become a knight quickly.
For Crown Prince Edward and Adela?
He would give them his blessing.
Not far from them, Annelie was watching everything with a fan blocking her face and only her eyes could be seen. And this pair of eyes showed cold and indifferent look.
However, Annelie didn’t move from her position and could only watch.
When the short farce ended, Annelie took a deep breath and turned to look at the other noble students around.
"Let’s go back."
"Ah?"
They didn’t understand why, but these students decided to follow Annelie. Anyway, there was nothing else for them to do here.
...
Drap! Drap!
Aurora and Prince Lester left the academy through the front gate. There were guards there but they acted as if they didn’t see Aurora.
Before going out, Aurora had greeted the Headmaster.
In this way, no one in the Capital Academy would stop them. But when they got out of the Capital Academy, the Headmaster couldn’t control it anymore.
"Miss, the carriage is here," Prince Lester said, guiding Aurora to the carriage that they have prepared before. The carriage had no mark on the body and seemed to be no different from ordinary carriage outside.
Without the identity of a duke’s daughter, Aurora could no longer use the White Family’s family crest.
"Let’s go," Aurora said.
The day is still long.
