Villain Princess.

Chapter 8: Red Kingdom

Aurora looked at the middle aged man in front of her.

He looked like he was already in his late thirties or even forties. His hair was blond just like her mother.

Duchess Isabella looked at the person in front of her and then said calmly, "Second Brother, you're already the duke here but you still have enough time to come and welcome me?"

Duke?

Aurora's mind turned and remembered that there were two princes who were alive in the end in the Red Kingdom.

One of them was naturally the current King.

The other one was Duke Rain, the duke without real power and only empty position and territory.

Duke Rain smiled and waved his hand. "You know that I don't have much work. If I don't come here to play around, what should I do? Anyway, First Brother is already waiting for us inside."

"Ok." Duchess Isabella nodded.

They walked inside and Aurora could see the majestic palace. It was much more luxurious compared to the palace in the Yellow Kingdom. Then again, the Red Kingdom has more resources and often won in their agreement for the water use.

Before long, they reached the main hall and after their arrival was announced, they could come in.

"His Majesty is inside."

The door opened and the three of them walked in with Aurora following behind Duchess Isabella. She could feel many eyes landed on her from the moment of her appearance, so she knew very well that whatever she did, they would judge her.

Aurora would be lying if she said that she was not nervous.

But compared to the time when she would be punished by her parents, Aurora was able to control herself and continued to walk forward in accordance to the etiquette. She would not say anything unnecessary either and only followed Duchess Isabella.

Thinking about her experience in her study in the past was more than enough to calm Aurora down.

If she made a mistake again... she would be punished.

So Aurora made careful step, following her mother in her action and only watched the surrounding areas through the corner of her eyes. She couldn't be blatant, she had to stay elegant and all.

Everything that her mother taught her has long been carved to her bones.

Even if she wanted to forget it, Aurora knew it was impossible.

Her body would never let her forget.

The moment she entered the main hall, Aurora's eyes were attracted to the man in the middle. He's her first uncle and also the current King of Red Kingdom. He was already in his early forties and looked a bit older than his real age.

At this time, he was looking in their direction calmly.

The king wore the king's robe and also the attire appropriate for his position. His expression looked stern with long moustaches and beard. His blond hair was mixed with brown color and also some white hair.

Being the kind was not easy and it seemed that for this king, it might have shortened his lifespan in a sense.

"Rain, Isabella, it seems that they have made the decision?" Red Kingdom's King's eyes landed on Aurora who was following behind Isabella.

Before the engagement between the two children were made, there had been some negotiation made to him. No matter what, Aurora is still the daughter of Red Kingdom's Princess. If the Red Kingdom were to object to this marriage, they would never made this arrangement.

But Red Kingdom's King didn't care about it.

Aurora is only his sister's daughter and for him, one daughter was not worth much. So he replied in neutral tone to the Yellow Kingdom's inquiry.

Now that Isabella had brought Aurora here, it was obvious what their answer to him was.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Isabella replied and took a step to the side, "My daughter, Aurora, is now the fiancée of Crown Prince Edward from Yellow Kingdom." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

The crown prince's fiancée.

Red Kingdom's King's eyes flickered when he heard that and he nodded in satisfaction.

"Aurora White, the first daughter of Duke White and Princess Isabella, greets Your Majesty, Red Kingdom's King," Aurora curtsied and greeted formally. "Good." Red Kingdom's King nodded at Aurora. "What do you know about Red Kingdom, Miss Aurora?"

Aurora's heart thumped.

A test right after she came here?

But no matter what, Aurora would answer the question. She raised her head and started to speak.

"Your Majesty, Red Kingdom is known for their products of the strawberry field along with the...."

Duchess Isabella and Duke Rain listened to Aurora listing the things that Red Kingdom was famous for and then moved towards the agreement between the two kingdoms.

Aside from the water distribution, there were also trades between the two kingdoms.

After all, the products from the Red Kingdom was rare in the Yellow Kingdom and vice versa. Only by trading would they be able to maximize the profit and cost.
