The profit from this year should be good.
With the trades that was established through Aurora from the other negotiation, she also knew that she would earn a lot of money. These small amount of money was nothing compared to the large expense of the entire White Dukedom.
To be honest, most of the money would be used for things that seemed to be useless such as expensive decorations, dresses, and so on.
But it was necessary.
Because these things all represented their status and only with proper ’accessory’ would they not shame their name.
It was cumbersome.
Aurora had already taken a look at those things and felt that most of them have no practical value whatsoever. But as the duke’s daughter, she had to have these things, so Aurora leave the servants in the White Dukedom to prepare it.
Moreover...
Her father also rewarded her with some new dresses and jewelries after he heard that the negotiation was done and that their territory earned a lot of benefits.
The price of these dresses and jewelries were not even a tenth of the total profit that Aurora brought to the White Dukedom.
But it was good enough.
"Miss, we’re about to enter White City," the coach reminded.
White City is the biggest city in the White Dukedom and also the center of the activity for most management of White Dukedom. Mr. Wren and his family also had a place here when they were not in the Capital City to give report to her father.
Aside from Mr. Wren, there were also a few other nobles who were entrusted by Duke White to manage White Dukedom.
"Yes," Aurora said.
White Dukedom was not like their name, white. Instead, it was filled with the fields for grains and rice, which was very colorful. However, on the cities, the city wall was built in white color, looking elegant and clean.
It was just that this wall was a bit hard to clean, so there were a group of people who were responsible to clean it everyday. It could be said that this job has been done very well so far and no one complained about it.
For the people who lived here, this wall was also the symbol of this place.
After all, it was similar to the place’s territory’s name.
Aurora watched the carriage passed by the gate and then the coach asked, "Miss, where do you want to go now? White Mansion?"
There was also a residence for her father when he came to the territory. Now that Aurora is here, it could also be used by her if she wanted to. After all, there was nothing wrong with stopping by her own father’s mansion to rest.
"No," Aurora said and then added, "Go to the small academy."
The so called small academy was an academy made by her great grandfather in the past. This small academy was different from the academy in the Capital City because this academy targeted the ordinary people.
To be exact, it was targeted people who wanted to choose some special profession.
There were also small nobles who came to attend the academy in order to learn specialized skill and then be of help for higher ranked noble. But this was also the place for her father to gather people to work for him.
Those who were talented enough would be used by him.
And this time, Aurora wanted to do the same.
"Miss, are you going to look for another maid?" Les asked, she felt a bit wronged. Does her miss not satisfied with her? She was sure that she had tried her best to serve Aurora.
Aurora looked at Les and shook her head lightly. "You should know that the maid training is not in the academy, Les."
"Ah..." she forgot.
Les coughed and looked away while Aurora was feeling amused by Les’s reaction. She looked at the small academy in the distance.
Even if it was called an academy, it was just a small building where the students could gather to learn. However, there were not many students in the small academy because it was not cheap to enter the academy.
There were also some students who were specifically sponsored to study, but they would have to fulfill some duties later on.
The system was made by her great grandfather.
He proposed for this system to be made in order to have some helper for his son, but the end result was that he couldn’t see much of the result because this academy was made when he was already advanced in age.
Her grandfather and father didn’t think much about this academy and would rather use the other nobility to work for them.
Because most nobles, even if they were of lower nobility, would attend the noble academy. In their opinion, it would be more suitable to look for them rather than looking for a commoner.
So even if the academy was still operating, the graduates would only be reemployed by the lower nobles.
Mr. Wren also picked some people from here.
When Aurora thought about having her own people to work for her, Mr. Wren suggested for her to come here. After all, the people around her were all working for her father and then assigned to her by her father.
If they were to be asked who they were loyal to, the answer would be her father.
It wouldn’t be a bad thing for them to be like this, but if Aurora really wanted people she could trust, then she needed someone who truly loyal to her.
This would not be easy.
"Do you want to look for a knight, Miss?" Les asked another question curiously. Now that they were not in front of others, Les was able to communicate more casually with Aurora. Of course, the basic respect should still be given.
A knight?
Aurora shook her head. "I need an assistant."
The work that was given to her would only increase as time passed. Knowing how her parents were, Aurora would not be surprised if they were to arrange more work for her.
