The day of helping Adela to practice ended shortly after the teacher finished eating.
She could see that Adela was really hopeless, but she didn’t want to give up so easily, so she continued to teach Adela how to stand and walk properly.
The noble has to maintain their grace and thus, the teacher was unwilling to see Adela acted like this.
Adela wanted to cry again but crying was useless.
Aurora didn’t plan to pay attention to this matter again. But the next day, Crown Prince Edward inexplicably look for her.
"Did you bully your sister, Aurora?" Crown Prince Edward asked, his tone was clearly not very good.
Bully her sister?
Aurora looked at Crown Prince Edward with a frown. With Adela’s status at home, Aurora would not dare to even try to bully Adela in the slightest bit. It was because she knew very well that if she dared to do that, her parents would come looking for her to ask for explanation.
It would be troublesome.
Having been punished by study several times, Aurora didn’t want to increase her workload by doing unnecessary things.
"I didn’t do such things, Your Highness," Aurora replied calmly. "How did you come to that conclusion?"
"She’s crying!" Crown Prince Edward replied righteously.
Crying?
Aurora thought about the day when she was teaching etiquette to Adela yesterday and knew that Adela was crying. But for her, crying was nothing more than a show of weakness, which was useless for most people.
It was just that for some others, crying could be used as their weapon.
And Adela was clearly included among these people.
"I didn’t make her cry, Your Highness," Aurora replied.
"Don’t lie to me. Someone saw you beside her when she’s crying..."
"You can ask Adela what happened yesterday," Aurora cut off Crown Prince Edward before he finished speaking. This might be impolite, but she was getting her patience thin when facing Crown Prince Edward.
Her status was one thing, but asking her to be patient when facing such a stupid person had already used up most of Aurora’s patience.
She’s still a normal human being.
This meant that she has her patience and her own thoughts. Having faced Crown Prince Edward who kept on escaping from his study, uttering stupid remarks, and now accusing her out of nowhere, Aurora couldn’t bother with the etiquette anymore.
"I didn’t bully her. I was helping her to learn etiquette and the teacher is also in the room," Aurora said calmly.
Her tone was firm and her gaze made Crown Prince Edward a bit afraid that he took a step back.
But in the next moment, he felt that it was stupid.
What was there to fear from Aurora?
She was nothing more than an annoying fiancée that his mother selected to stay beside him. Even though Aurora was really capable and her mother had said that several times, but Crown Prince Edward didn’t really like Aurora.
But fear?
As the Crown Prince and also the person of the highest status under his father, what was there to fear?
"I... I’ll ask her." Crown Prince Edward frowned and turned around.
For some reasons, he didn’t really want to face Aurora right now. Even if he wanted to rebuke her harshly, but he also knew that he couldn’t do that and cause a scene in front of other students.
The other students were already watching him.
"Leon, did you see that?" Louis, who was following Crown Prince Edward even though he felt that this was a useless matter, frowned.
When he saw the gaze from Aurora, he could feel a faint oppression. This made him remember his father when his father was dealing with those who opposed him on the court. The scene was fresh in Louis’s mind because he could see his father’s majesty from that.
How could a young girl like Aurora showed similar aura to his father?
This was unrealistic.
Beside Louis, Leon was also looking at the scene in front of him. The corner of his lips curled up slightly. "I see it very clearly."
He could also sense the faint oppression, the stance that made one unable to say no from Aurora.
This aura made Leon remembered his father.
But when he asked his father how to do it, his father only told him that it was something that a person in power will have when they truly controlled the power in their hands.
Back then, he didn’t understand.
But now, Leon started to understand.
The reason why Aurora was looked up highly by his father was because she truly had that qualification. Without enough qualification, no one would be wiling to listen to Aurora’s words and followed her instruction.
Who would want to listen to someone who was weak and unqualified?
No one.
"What do you think of it?" Louis asked. "It’s just a fluke, isn’t it?"
Leon glanced at Louis.
He remembered that Louis’ father was a person who hated women having power the most. It was also because of this that his wife was known to be a very quiet woman who listened to his words no matter what he said.
In the prime minister’s eyes, women shouldn’t have any power at all.
Because they were incapable of holding so much power.
It was also because of this view that Louis felt that the faint oppression from Aurora was not real. And even if it was real, it was nothing more than a fluke.
He would never admit that he felt a bit afraid of a woman.
"It’s time for me to go back to practice," Leon said and then turned around. If his friend never changed his view, it was estimated that he would remain this way until the rest of his life. Not that it mattered, but he would not realize that there were also amazing women.
As he thought that, Leon shook his head.
He would not lose so easily either.
Hmph!
He will practice harder.
