<h4>Chapter 1: Banished?</h4>


    "Aurora White, from now on, you''re not my fiancée anymore and you''re banished from the kingdom!"


    The bustling venue turned into silent when they heard the crown prince''s words. Everyone''s eyes were locked on the young woman whom the crown prince was holding and then their eyes moved towards the young woman who stood in the center of the hall.


    The young woman in the center of the hall, Aurora White, had a beautiful appearance with long brown hair and beautiful purplish hue eyes. She was dressed in a long blue dress that entuated her appearance.


    At this moment, she was looking at the crown prince in front of her and slowly raised the fan in her hand to cover up her mouth, "May I ask for the reason, Your Highness?"


    Her tone was not in the slightest bit filled with respect, but the one questioned by her didn''t seem to realize it at all. The crown prince was still hugging the young woman in his arm and said, "You''re bullying your sister, Lady Ad! And such an attitude is unwee and unsuitable for the crown princess!"


    Bullying?


    Aurora looked at the blond haired girl who was still in the Crown Prince''s embrace and wanted to shake her head. She had never bullied her sister nor she had any interest to do so.


    "Just because of petty jealousy, you''re hurting her!"


    Jealousy?


    What kind of nonsense is it?


    Aurora looked at the prince as if she was looking at an idiot.


    Who would want to be his fiancée if it was not because of the order from the King and her parents when she was young?


    Their engagement was nothing more than a political marriage.


    "So, I dere your banishment! This is the end for you, Aurora White!"


    Raising the fan to cover her mocking smile, Aurora looked at the crown prince and sneered.


    This is the end?


    For her or for the kingdom?


    Because for this day, she had painstakingly prepared a lot of things over the years.


    ...


    <8 Years Prior, Duke White''s Mansion>


    "Father, I''ll be engaged?" A young girl asked in her childish voice. She was around 10 years old and dressed in beautiful dress, but at this moment, her expression looked strange.


    In front of the young girl was a man in his thirties. He looked at his daughter in front of him and then answered, "His Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Edward, is 10 years old. You''re of the same age and also the most suitable one, Aurora. His Majesty is also very pleased with you."


    The most suitable one.


    Aurora looked at the portrait in front of her.


    The young boy had blond hair and the iconic golden eyes of their kingdom''s Royal family. He doesn''t look bad at all and one would think that he would definitely grow up to be a handsome boy.


    Based on status alone, Aurora knew that no other nobledies would be able topare to her.


    Her father, Duke White was basically one of the three dukes in thisnd. Her mother was the princess of the neighboring kingdom who had alliance with this kingdom. With these two people''s status, she has the highest status under the Royal Family.


    No one is more suitable to be the crown princess.


    Unless they wanted to search for other princess from other kingdom but for the sake of the kingdom itself, they would not do that.


    There was already a ready made princess in front of them.


    Aurora raised her small head and curtsied at her father. "I understand, Father, I''ll ept this engagement."


    Duke White nodded in approval when he heard his first daughter''s answer. His daughters'' education was impable and Duke White believed that the two of them would be able to grow up well. Moreover, Aurora is an obedient and capable child. Duke White felt reassured to hand over this engagement in Aurora''s hand.


    "You may leave."


    "Yes, Father."


    Aurora curtsied and made her way out of her father''s study room. Her purplish hue eyes had ayer of haze as she looked forward.


    Ever since she was young, Aurora knew that it was her responsibility to be married to someone of equal status or even higher.


    Because no matter how high the family''s status was, their ultimate end was only to be married away. This is the fate of almost all daughters in the entire kingdom, the fate that no one could escape even if they wanted to.


    Aurora walked on the long and familiar hall before she suddenly heard a scream and stopped.


    It was a familiar voice.


    ''Ad?''


    Ad is Aurora''s sister, who was only a year younger. Because she was born premature, she was a bit weak, so her parents always care more for this younger sister of hers.


    Aurora quickened her steps and headed to her sister''s bedroom. If anything were to happen to Ad, she knew very well that her parents would never be able to stay quiet. The two daughters were treated well, but Aurora knew very well that her parents prefer Ad more.


    Soon Aurora had reached her sister''s room and saw Ad who was lying on the bed.


    Her younger sister had blond hair simr to their father and at this moment, the long blond hair was scattered and looked messy.


    "What happened?" Aurora asked Ad''s maid who was not far from her.


    "Miss... Lady Ad was sleeping and suddenly scream..." the maid quickly exined in fear. If she gave the wrong answer, she was sure that she would be kicked out and there was no good ending for her.


    Nightmare?


    Aurora furrowed her eyebrows and her legs quickly stepped forward to bring her to Ad''s side. She raised her small hands and lightly test Ad''s forehead.


    It was not hot.


    Swish!


    Ad suddenly sat up and Aurora moved her hand away. She could see that Ad''s eyes were notpletely focused yet.


    "I... where... I..." Ad spoke and looked at Aurora who was beside her. Her eyes widened slightly as she asked cautiously, "Aurora....Aurora White?"


    "Ad, do you not recognize your sister?" Aurora asked with a frown.


    Should she call a doctor? Her younger sister''s condition seemed to be a bit serious this time.


    Even though Ad''s body was a bit weak, but she usually would still remember her family members.


    Ad had a nk expression. "Ad... Ad White?"


    "That''s your name," Aurora replied and looked at the maid. "Call the doctor."


    As the people around her was busy, Ad looked dull and looked down at her hand, the small hand of a child who was only 9 years old.


    Aurora didn''t understand what happened to Ad and stood up, wanting to call their mother over. She didn''t know what she should do if Ad truly didn''t remember them and her parents would be the one who was worried the most.


    "I''m... Ad White... the protagonist and she''s... the viiness..."


    Aurora heard intermittent whisper of her sister as she reached close to the door and her footsteps stopped. She turned to look at Ad on the bed and her purple hue''s eyes shed strangely.


    The next second, she continued to walk out of the room.
