Villain Princess.

Chapter 19: What’s Your Goal?

If it was only relying on the produce from White Dukedom, it would be difficult for them to sustain themselves in the long term.

After all, they would have to earn back their money through the sales of their grain and other produces to other territory. And what Aurora wanted was to improve the condition of the people and made White Dukedom better.

Looking at the list of things that Aurora wrote, Mr. Wren's eyes brightened. "If this set of rules can be implemented, it would be very beneficial for White Dukedom. It seems that you have thought about this, Eldest Miss."

"I'll be the one to manage the negotiation from now," Aurora said slowly with a faint smile. "And if I can make the situation of the territory better, wouldn't it be for the best?"

Mr. Wren didn't answer immediately and looked at Aurora deeply.

He could see that this young miss was really smart and there should be reason why she suddenly told him all of these.

"Miss, what do you want from me?"

"I want you to work well," Aurora said slowly, her smile never disappeared from her face. "Only if the territory is doing well would it be possible to discuss about other improvement for the territory, isn't it?"

Is it really only for the territory?

Mr. Wren looked at the list of negotiation and terms written by Aurora on the piece of paper and took a deep breath.

He had the faint feeling that if Aurora were to be the one to negotiate and manage the matter of White Dukedom, she would be the one who had the power instead of her father. Because even though Duke White is the lord of White Dukedom, he didn't manage many things.

Many things were handled by the smaller lords under them, including Mr. Wren.

Mr. Wren had started working ever since it was Duke White's father's era. At that time, he had seen how the former Duke White was able to manage the territory and built the rainwater reservoir.

It was improved thorough the years and it could help them when it was needed the most.

And for some reasons, Mr. Wren felt that he was looking at his former lord when he was looking at Aurora. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

But...

"Miss Aurora, you do know that you couldn't be the head of the family as the member of the Royal Family, right?" Mr. Wren asked carefully.

The person chosen to be married to the prince couldn't be the head of their own family. This was the rule in the Yellow Kingdom and had been passed down from generation to generation.

Because the Queen would be busy with various matter of the nation, so they were usually not allowed to be the head of their territory.

As for being a woman...

While it was indeed a rare case, there were indeed times when a woman become the head of a family.

But this case was very rare.

After all, the status of women were not very high and there were a lot of restriction for them if they wanted to take this position. And many people would not be willing to give them this chance.

Unless there was a special reason why the woman herself would become the head, otherwise they usually would not be allowed to.

Aurora is selected as the future crown princess.

Her engagement with Crown Prince Edward has been arranged and it was unlikely to be revoked. After all, the Royal Family would be slapping themselves in the face if they were to revoke this engagement that they made.

They were not stupid enough to do this.

"I have no interest to be the head of the family," Aurora said unhurriedly.

Become the head of the family?

When Aurora thought about her father and what he has been doing, Aurora didn't really want to. The White Dukedom looked prosperous, but there were actually many problems in the land that had to be settled.

Not to mention, Duke White basically didn't make any improvement at all in the past decade or so. He only followed what his father had arranged before and let things continued this way.

Aurora knew very well that there was a chance for her to be the head of the family.

Because Duke White didn't have any son, so the choice for the next head would either be his daughters or his son in law.

But after the engagement with Crown Prince Edward, Aurora knew that this path is impossible.

The law couldn't be changed so easily.

Unless she tried to coax Crown Prince Edward to abolish this rule, but it would be many years later when he ascended the throne. It was very unlikely to happen anytime soon and Aurora would not put her hope on this.

So, Aurora wanted to settle for the next best.
