Villain Princess.

Chapter 20: Festival

Mr. Wren didn't understand.

He looked at Aurora in confusion and then asked, "In that case, what do you want to achieve, Miss Aurora?"

Aurora shook her head slightly. "Shall we start our study now if the question is over, Mr. Wren?"

Hearing this answer, Mr. Wren knew that it was not the time for him to ask this. He looked at the list of negotiation Aurora write and took a deep breath. It would take some time for this negotiation to be done.

But when he was done, perhaps Aurora would tell him more?

Mr. Wren smiled faintly when he thought about this in anticipation and started to tell more about the details of White Dukedom that Aurora missed or didn't know.

After all, Aurora didn't specifically learn everything and Mr. Wren still knew more. This time, he was determined to let Aurora learn as much as possible.

...

Time passed quietly.

Aside from studying, Aurora saw Adela was spending more time with the servants and walked out on the garden to exercise.

Well, more like taking a walk.

It seemed that Adela was determined to get her health back up as much as possible so that she would be able to get out more often.

Not only studying but also getting healthier.

Everything seemed to be going in a good direction.

In a way, it seemed to be pretty good. Duke White and Duchess Isabella seemed to be happy with this, though. They had long been worried for Adela, so it would be good if Adela could become better.

Only Aurora could feel that Adela seemed to be more distant from her. The time they spent together at night for her to read Adela was now gone and Adela seemed to be trying to avoid her.

It was done discreetly, but Aurora was sensitive enough to sense it.

Her sister is changing.

That was one thing for certain.

Aurora didn't know the reason and she couldn't ask it openly either. It might be because of puberty, but Adela was only 9 years old. Does puberty come so early?

Aside from that, there were a lot of study Duke White gave to Aurora. In order to fulfill her duty, she had a lot of knowledge she had to master within a year's time.

Of course, it was not study every single day.

"It's time for Sun Festival," Duke White said during their breakfast together. Sometimes, they would still gather together for breakfast when Duke White wanted it.

Adela's health seemed to be getting better lately, so Duke White wanted to spend more time with this daughter of his. Thus, they have been having breakfast together and gathered in the dining room.

Though, if one were to say, there were nothing much that happened during this time except for Duchess Isabella being happier to see Adela and fed her daughter.

"Father, can I go out?" Adela asked coquettishly.

"Do you want to go out?" Duke White frowned when he heard Adela's request. He didn't want this daughter of his to go out because he knew that her health was not the best. It was only recently that Adela got better and Duke White didn't want to risk it.

"But I have been hearing about the Sun Festival for a long time and I want to see it," Adela said once again and looked at her father with a pleading look.

Duchess Isabella looked at her second daughter and then at Aurora, who was sitting at the side, drinking some water. "It's been a while since Aurora go out. Take this chance to see the situation during the festival, Aurora."

See the situation during the festival?

Aurora stopped moving her hand and looked up to see her mother looking in her direction. It was clear that she gave an order and this was not something that could be rejected.

"In the meantime, you can take care of your sister so that she can take a look at the festival," Duchess Isabella added.

That should be the main reason.

Sun Festival is the festival to celebrate the bright Summer Season and also the victory of the Yellow Kingdom nearly a century ago. The story of the Sun Festival was very simple.

The Yellow Kingdom was in a war against another kingdom and the war ended in the middle of summer. At the last moment, the young prince who held his sword beheaded his enemy and lead the army to turn the unfavorable war into victory.

It was said that the young prince's blond hair was like the sun shining in the summer.

Ever since then, Sun Festival was made.

There would be drama made to enact that war and various stalls selling various food and unique products.

Everyone loved this festival.

Aurora had heard about it, but she was not very interested to participate. Because aside from the play, there were not many other interesting things in this festival. It was mostly just people playing on the street for this celebration.

"Yes, Mother," Aurora replied.

Duke White looked at his wife and then at Adela who was still looking at him. He sighed. "Alright, but you're not allowed to do anything excessive."

"Yes, Father! Thank you very much." Adela smiled brightly after she heard her father's words.

With her father's permissions, she could now get out of the mansion.

She had been exercising lately and now, Adela just wanted to get a chance to get out of the mansion.

Naturally, she had to go with Aurora because she wouldn't be allowed to go on her own.

"Sister, please take care of me," Adela said to Aurora with a bright smile.

Aurora heard Adela's words and smiled back in response. "It's my responsibility."
