Chapter 25: Thoughts
Going with Crown Prince Edward in the Sun Festival was bound to be different compared to the time when they were going on their own.
Aurora also able to sense the gazes of many people looking in their direction.
Even though Crown Prince Edward was dressed as a commoner, there were naturally many of his knights dressed up as commoner who were following him. Just like her and Adela, Crown Prince Edward's position was high and precaution must be necessary.
However, from the way Crown Prince Edward looked like, he only knew two people who were following him.
The rest seemed to be protecting him from the dark.
'I guess it's only natural for the kingdom to protect the crown prince so much.' Aurora shook her head slightly.
Compared to the Red Kingdom that has some dispute between the two princes, the Yellow Kingdom's King only has one wife, the current Queen. In terms of marriage, this kingdom practiced more monogamy but it didn't mean there were no concubines at all.
There were still some of them here.
Crown Prince Edward is the first prince and the second prince was still very young, so it was unlikely to pass the throne to him.
The difference in age between the two princes were quite big.
So, Crown Prince Edward could be said to be future of the Yellow Kingdom and many people couldn't afford to have him fall at such a young age. This way, the protection for Crown Prince Edward was really high.
"What is this, Cade?" Adela asked curiously as she pointed at the shining tube in front of her. It looked very beautiful and this made Adela curious about it.
"This is a different type of light aside from candle that has been found," Crown Prince Edward replied. "I think it uses a special type of sand and has bee quite popular around here lately."
"It's sand? Can sand shine?" Adela was surprised.
"If you want one, how about buying it as souvenir?" Crown Prince Edward asked with a smile.
The lamp they used were still using candles in various shapes.
This tube actually also had candle inside that was lit up, but the tube was specifically made to be two layers in order to create beautiful sand image on the surface.
Aurora looked at it and knew that it was from another duke's territory that has been famous in the recent years.
And that duke's relationship with Duke White was really bad.
'This unique lamp has also reached the Capital City. I hope there wouldn't be any trade war in the future.' Aurora rubbed her hand together.
Duke White's territory was not far from the lake where the negotiation was done by Aurora not long ago. And their territory was mostly dependents on farming, which make the water source even more important.
But the other half of the Yellow Kingdom consisted of sand and resources there were scarce.
In order to gain more money, they had to make various things.
Glasses and these lamps were the new inventions they made in the recent years, but it was also the specialty of another kingdom.
This only started to enter the Yellow Kingdom and that duke's territory also started to reproduce it.
It was a hit.
Aurora was taught about her family's territory and management, so she also understood more or less why her father was busy lately. The interest in their territory was being challenged and it meant they would earn lesser money.
For Duke White, it was not acceptable.
Their territory had to grow even more if they wished to survive.
Aurora wouldn't be the one managing the territory, but she could think about it.
Besides, if she was not wrong, the products that Duke Sun's territory made was a bit different from the one from Sand Kingdom. It could actually be used in a certain way, but the production method was kept secret.
After all, the lives of the people in those two places depended on this thing.
"Sister! Let's watch the play, it's about to start!" Adela called for Aurora and Aurora smiled in response, bringing her thoughts out of this matter.
No matter what happened between the two territories, it was not up for Aurora to worry about.
She just had to take one step at a time on the things around her.
