<h4>Chapter 5: Is She too Sensitive?</h4>


    The lessons for Aurora epassed various subjects.


    From mathematics, history, science, and many others. Now that Aurora had been chosen as the crown princess, the education would also add politics and diplomatic.


    Yellow Kingdom was surrounded by several other kingdoms and naturally there were some matters that required them to have interaction with the other kingdoms. For this, there were several treaties and so on.


    One of the reasons why Duchess Isabe was married to Duke White back then was also because of these agreements.


    To make the two kingdoms, Red Kingdom and Yellow Kingdom, closer to each other.


    But even with this arrangement, the two kingdoms would still have to negotiate some other matters.


    This was usually done by the Queen and also Duchess Isabe.


    Now that Aurora would be the crown princess, she would have to take on this matter sooner orter. For this reason, Duchess Isabe nned to bring Aurora to Red Kingdom and handed over the matter to her daughter.


    In this way, she would be free.


    She had to follow the instruction of her teachers because afterwards, they will give report to the Duke and Duchess. Thankfully, these tutors were all honest people and easy to deal with.


    For Aurora who had been with them for a long time, she had long known their personality and what they wanted from her.


    She just had to act.


    "Teacher Margaret," Aurora greeted her teacher politely.


    Teacher Margaret was the teacher who taught most of the lessons for Aurora. She had great knowledge for these as she had been the tutor for many nobles thorough her life. Now that she was already in her fifties, she no longer took so many assignment.


    Aurora was only one of them.


    "I heard about the arrangement, Miss. Congrattions for your engagement with His Highness," Teacher Margaret said with a faint smile.


    "Thank you, Teacher Margaret," Aurora replied.


    "But now that you have be the crown princess, it meant that you have to add some other subjects to your study." Teacher Margaret motioned for Aurora to sit down. "Before that, review the nobility stature in the Yellow Kingdom first."


    Aurora smiled. "The nobility stature started from Baron as the lowest. This title has the fewestnd and can also be obtained by knights who made great contribution. After Baron, it''s Viscount and then Count. Above count is Marquis and the highest is Duke, which is my father''s rank."


    Even if there were only five formal nobility title, but it was not easy to raise one''s nobility rank.


    The kingdom was stable and there was not many contribution one could make.


    "Indeed." Teacher Margaret nodded. "Starting from now, I''ll review more history of the other kingdoms. You should be prepared, Aurora."


    The position of the crown princess meant that Aurora would be involved in politics and diplomatic. Even if she didn''t want to, she had to start learning these in order to avoid losing face when it truly mattered.


    Aurora showed a faint smile. "I know. Thank you, Teacher Margaret."


    Teacher Margaret nodded. "In that case, let''s start."


    ...


    Aurora has several teachers and Teacher Margaret was only one of them.


    After the sses were over, it has always been past dinner time.


    "Miss, Master and Madam asked you to have dinner with them," Les, one of the closest maid to Aurora, said with concern.


    The family of four rarely eat together.


    Most of the time, Duke White was too busy toe back and Duchess White, Duchess Isabe, would eat with Ad alone.


    Aurora would be left alone.


    For Aurora, this has been the norm.


    Aurora looked at Les and then asked, "Has my sister gotten better?"


    The only reason why the four of them would eat together would be if Ad''s condition improved. Just this morning Ad asked for a doctor and Aurora doubted that Ad would have gotten better so quickly.


    Unless she faked her illness.


    When Aurora''s thoughts reached this conjecture, she frowned slightly.


    Ad has never been the type of girl to fool others and would not y around with her life. After all, as the daughter of the White Dukedom, she was also taught many things that was necessary as part of the nobility.


    Even though there would be time when Duchess Isabe taught Ad to use some schemes so that she would not be taken advantage of, it shouldn''t be the time yet.


    Because they wouldn''t appear in the society yet.


    Aurora suppressed her thoughts and nodded at Les. "I''ll go there."


    "Yes, Miss." Les showed a smile on her face even though she was actually worried for Aurora. After all, she knew how the dinner has always been in the past, but seeing Aurora was still smiling like this, Les couldn''t say anything.


    No matter how bad it was, Aurora couldn''t escape and had to face her parents and sister.


    Cleaning up her books, Aurora made her way to the dining room and saw Duchess Isabe came in with Ad from the other door. Looking at Ad''s appearance, she was no longer as pale as she used to be. Duke White himself was already sitting on his seat in the dining room.


    "Father, Mother," Aurora greeted and curtsied.


    Duke White nodded and nced at his wife and second daughter.


    "Father, Sister!" Ad greeted with her sweet voice and the strange curtsied that was not up to standard.


    However, Duke White only nodded in her direction and let her sit down.


    Aurora saw this but didn''tment. Because of Ad''s weak body, her lessons have always beengging behind Aurora. Not to mention, her parents didn''t have much expectation for Ad''s etiquette lesson.


    She was given all the convenience avable.


    The dinner was cold and everyone simply followed the etiquette necessary. Only the asional sound of nking from Ad could be heard as she looked clumsy.


    ''Her etiquette is getting worse?'' Aurora saw Ad and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.


    She could see that Ad''s etiquette was worse than how she used to be in the past. Even though Ad was given the convenience, it didn''t mean that her study would be stopped.


    Thus, it was strange to see Ad this way.


    But Duchess Isabe didn''t seem to notice and only helped Ad correct her table manner with a helpless smile.


    Aurora put down the thoughts in her mind as she looked at the food in front of her.


    She didn''t know why her mother didn''t notice.


    Or was she being too sensitive?


    Aurora was not sure.


    But no matter which one it was, Aurora couldn''t possibly question her sister.
