Kapitel 2: The Past
Duke White came immediately when he heard that Adela was sick. This girl has such a weak body that she kept on being sick from time to time. But the girl was so gentle and kind that one would feel heartache when they saw her.
Their mother, Isabella, came to the room to check on Adela quickly after hearing of Adela's sickness.
"You have light fever."
Duchess Isabelle frowned when she heard what the doctor said about her daughter. This second daughter of hers was indeed a bit weak, but it was unreasonable to get sick every few days, right?
"I'll prescribe medicine," the doctor immediately said when he saw the bad expression on Duke White and Duchess Isabella's face.
"Adela, be good and drink the medicine, ok?" Duchess Isabella turned to look at her second daughter and coaxed the girl.
Adela raised her head and looked at Duchess Isabella carefully. She nodded and then answered in her childish voice, "Yes, Mother."
Her tone was sweet and gentle with a trace of forbearance inside. It seemed like a sensible child who would do anything to make sure that her parents were not worried for her.
Near the door, Aurora looked at Adela on the bed.
She made no intention to move towards Adela nor helping the other party. Instead, she simply stood there and watched as her mother coaxed Adela to drink medicine and rest.
After a while, Duke White turned around and saw Aurora there.
He motioned for her to come with him and the two of them left Adela's room. It would be better to let her sleep a while longer.
"His Highness will come tomorrow. In addition, you will be learning etiquette and diplomacy. Your mother wished for you to pay a visit to her kingdom," Duke White said to Aurora in front of him.
His Highness will come…
Aurora thought about the blond haired boy in the picture shown to her not long ago and nodded faintly. Prince Edward is the first prince and also the Crown Prince of the Yellow Kingdom.
As for her mother, she came from Red Kingdom, the neighboring kingdom that had diplomatic relationship with the Yellow Kingdom. As the future crown princess, she had to maintain this diplomatic relationship, so her father was already eager to send her to the Red Kingdom and strengthen the so called bond with them.
Even though Aurora didn't really want to leave the Yellow Kingdom to go on such a long journey, she still chose to agree.
Because she knew that even if she refused, it was useless.
Once her father decided on something, he would never allow others to interfere with his decision. Rather than making it more difficult for her, Aurora knew it would be better for her to agree with her father's order.
"I understand, Father."
"Good. You may go back now."
Aurora curtsied and then made her way back to her room.
"Miss," Aurora's maid, Les, has been waiting for her. She looked at her miss's face with worried expression. Even though she knew that there would be such arrangement, she had hoped that it would not fall on Aurora.
Unfortunately, fate didn't allow that.
"I'm fine, Les." Aurora smiled faintly. "Tomorrow, I'll meet with my fiancé and I hope you can dress me up nicely."
"Of course!" Les nodded quickly. She would make sure that her miss is the most beautiful girl in the entire world.
After giving the order, Aurora walked to her table and looked at the pile of books at the side and started reading. Most of these books were the lessons that she had to study ever since she was young.
As the duke's daughter, she had to learn many things ever since she was young.
There were times when Aurora didn't understand but after this engagement, she understood. He had long wanted her to be the crown princess, so the strict education was necessary.
However, there were not only those books that were here.
There were a few story books.
"Protagonist… is the name for the main character in a story," Aurora muttered to herself in a low voice as she looked at the story book cover in front of her.
She didn't have much leisure to read story books, but it didn't mean that she had no knowledge at all about it.
And Adela's words just now made Aurora felt strange.
But after a while, Aurora shook her head. They were living in the real world and it was impossible for the story in the books to come true.
She must be thinking too much.
