Villain Princess.

29  What Do You Think?

Aurora looked at her father in front of her and slowly replied, "The people who come to trouble the woman should be real. She did have debt, but the main reason they choose today to make a move is because they wanted to take advantage of the nobles' kindness to earn more money."

Making trouble during Sun Festival…

It was a bold move.

Because there were more nobles who would dress up as commoner to mix with them. Even though some nobles would not bother to act and mix with the commoners, they would still come out to the street in order to watch the play and to enjoy the Sun Festival. After all, not every day they could go out on the street so freely.

There were so many nobles during the Sun Festival that it didn't matter even if they were to spend most of their time outside. It wouldn't attract much attention. The Yellow Kingdom's Capital City was usually also very noisy during this kind of festivals. But not many people dared to make trouble during this day because they knew that if they were to offend the wrong person, they might have to pay with their lives. For some people who were living at the bottom, this was not a big problem, though.

They have nothing to lose.

"His Highness has compassion in his heart, which is not a bad thing. However, he's unfortunate to stumble upon this matter and ended up being used," Aurora said slowly.

Duke White chuckled. Looking at his daughter in front of him, Duke White felt that she was indeed quite smart. As expected of his child. It seemed that his wife was correct. The next negotiation could be handed over to Aurora. If she had such vision, it should be easy for her to understand what she had to do with her role.

"If you're the one in his place, how do you plan to deal with this?"

"I would ask to see the contract," Aurora replied calmly.

Even in the case of loan shark, there had to be the contract signed. In this way, they would be able to calculate properly how much money was needed and would not be scammed so easily.

The interest rate might be a bit annoying, but at the very least, it would not be so outrageous that they were asked several times the real amount. "After that, I will arrange for the woman to work in one of our industry to pay off her debt," Aurora replied. "Rather than engaging in useless charity, wouldn't it be better to use them in another way?"

Duke White's industries were a lot.

Even though the main business for White Dukedom was the farm and grains, but it didn't mean that this was all there was. There were many other things that they also dabbled in and this also included some small businesses. If an act of kindness could earn them another worker, why not?

"In this way, I can see whether she work well or not. If she's not talented, she can stay in that position, but if she has some kind of talent, then it's not impossible to promote her and reward her when it's determined she's not a spy," Aurora replied. Duke White listened to Aurora's words and laughed. "You seem to already have a concrete plan in your mind."

"Giving money directly will only make them take it for granted," Aurora replied. "Some people will take the kindness to their heart, but some others are not so righteous and will forget about this matter soon enough."

Her lessons had already taught her that human nature was indeed very complicated. Some people were kind from the bottom of their heart, but many other people were those who had other thoughts and would take advantage of others without hesitation. "Indeed, this would be a good set of plan." Duke White nodded. "But this couldn't be done now. That woman has already run away."

Aurora nodded. She was not surprised by this piece of news. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

When she sent the guards, she only asked them to follow the man and not the woman. Because even if they were to use the woman, that had to go through Crown Prince Edward's hand and not theirs. But it seemed that Crown Prince Edward was really thoughtless. Aurora felt her evaluation for the crown prince was getting lower. Even if they were engaged and would get married in the future, but this was nothing more than a political marriage. There was no need for them to truly love each other as long as they could live with each other.

Besides, what was needed from them was their position and ability in the future. "Now that you have reported this matter." Duke White looked at his daughter and smiled faintly. "Tell me what you want as reward, Aurora."
