章 28: Report
"Why wouldn't it be suitable?" Crown Prince Edward asked in confusion. "It's not like she's an outsider, right?"
Knight Mike looked at Crown Prince Edward and sighed deeply.
In terms of intelligence, Crown Prince Edward was indeed not very bright. Even if his teachers had taught him etiquette and common sense, but most of the lessons he had learned over the years seemed to have flown out of his head.
Thankfully Crown Prince Edward was still young.
There was still more than enough time for him to study.
"Your Highness, Second Miss Adela is your fiancée's sister. It's not appropriate for you to get too close to your future sister in law," Knight Mike explained it from another perspective.
Crown Prince Edward furrowed his eyebrows.
"Besides, Duke White can care for his daughter's well being without the need for you to concern yourself, Your Highness," Knight Mike added.
Hearing this, Crown Prince Edward finally put down the thoughts of delivering medicine to Adela. Duke White was not lacking in money at all and if they truly needed it, they could prepare enough medicine for Adela.
"Oh, fine then." Crown Prince Edward nodded and then his attention was attracted by another matter.
He was still young and it would be hard for him to think about such complicated thing for a long time. Well, more like, the crown prince didn't like it and didn't really want to do something like that.
…
<Duke White Mansion>
Aurora and Adela returned using the ordinary carriage from before.
"Do you have fun, Adela?" Aurora asked after they entered the carriage and Crown Prince Edward could no longer be seen.
"Yes!" Adela smiled brightly. "It's fun."
"It's good." Aurora had a faint smile on her face and she saw Adela's face flushed with excitement and mentioned the things they did today. Glancing out, she saw that they were already close to Duke White Mansion. After all, the place where the carriage was parked was not that far from their home.
It only took a short while.
"Sister, I'm going to see Mother," Adela said and then rushed out to find her mother. She was excited to share to her mother about what she did today.
"It wouldn't be a good idea to tell her everything," Aurora was about to advise Adela but found the girl already ran away. Shaking her head lightly, Aurora made her way to her father's study.
Since she met with His Highness on the way, it was only right for her to give report to her father first.
As soon as she arrived, the butler announced her presence and Duke White allowed her to enter.
"It seems you have encountered something important on your trip," Duke White said lightly without raising his head from his papers.
Aurora knew very well that the knights who followed them were all under Duke White's command. Even if she didn't come here to give report, Duke White will still know their actions and behavior when they were outside this time.
Rather than letting it them be the one to give the report, it would be better for Aurora to be the one to give the report.
He will know either way.
If she could make a good use of this to show her 'loyalty' and stance to the family, Aurora would do it.
"Yes, Father," Aurora replied and started to tell the story about her encounter with Crown Prince Edward. Even though Duke White cared for Adela, but he cared more about her engagement and also his territory.
He loved power more than anything.
A kind ruler like Crown Prince Edward might be a good thing for the people but not exactly one suitable for the throne. It was something that Aurora had realized too.
If Crown Prince Edward remained the same in the following years, it was possible for the throne to slip away from his hands. Or even if he was still the king, he might be more of a puppet king rather than one who truly hold the power in his hands.
"What do you think of this incident, Aurora?" Duke White slowly asked.
