Aurora had to say that Adela changed.
It seemed that she had completely forgotten that the two of them usually spent some time together after Aurora's study.
But now, Adela was already tired after her study.
"Miss, Second Miss is just a bit busy," Les said to Aurora carefully. She didn't know what Aurora would think about this matter and knew how close the two sisters used to be.
But now, Aurora barely spent any time with her sister.
"My sister has grown up, so she become more mature," Aurora said with a faint smile.
In just a short while when Aurora didn't see Adela, the other party had started to grow and become more independent. It seemed that there was no need for her anymore.
Aurora looked at the mirror in front of her.
"Yes, Second Miss has grown." Les could only follow Aurora's words.
For this matter, Aurora didn't speak to Les again and her eyes flickered slightly.
…
Just when Aurora thought that her days would return to normal, Duke White called her to his office and introduced Mr. Wren, the lord who has been managing the territory of White Dukedom over the years.
Even though Duke White would manage the most important matters, most of the other things were managed by Mr. Wren. After all, the territory itself was vast and it was impossible for Duke White to be the one to manage it by himself.
He had several vassals.
The most important one being Mr. Wren.
"Aurora, this is Mr. Wren and he'll be your teacher for the time being while managing the territory from here," Duke White introduced Mr. Wren to Aurora.
Duke White's territory was not that far away from the Capital City, so even if Mr. Wren was here, it would not delay their business. There would be one or two days more delays than usual, but it was nothing much.
All in all, Duke White wanted Aurora to know more about White Dukedom.
Because the one who will benefit the most from the negotiation of the water reservoir and distribution was precisely White Dukedom.
"I am Aurora White, Mr. Wren. It's nice to meet you," Aurora greeted and curtsied.
She looked at aged man in front of her and felt that Mr. Wren was older than her father. He was already quite old and looked like he had seen the vastness of the world and many other things.
Mr. Wren was also looking at Aurora carefully. Hearing Duke White saying that the negotiation would be handed over to Aurora in the future meant that he had to make sure that Aurora understood the situation in their territory.
Because only in this way would it be possible for Aurora to win more resources for them.
"I'll be in your care too, Miss Aurora," Mr. Wren said politely.
Duke White saw their interaction and waved his hand. "You may go now. I still have a lot of things to do."
"Yes, Father."
"Yes, Master."
Mr. Wren and Aurora left Duke White's study and stopped in front of the door. Aurora was not sure whether Mr. Wren wanted to start teaching her right away or not because she also have other teachers, so she looked in his direction.
Mr. Wren coughed and motioned for Aurora to follow him.
"There are other study rooms here and Miss Aurora, I hope you can keep up with the study's pace. I don't want to teach worthless student," Mr. Wren said unhurriedly.
Worthless student.
Aurora showed a faint smile on her face.
Over the years, each and every single one of her teacher always said that they have high expectation of her. She could only work hard and do her best to ingest all of the information stuffed into her mind in order to be able to fulfill their requirement.
Adding another teacher wouldn't make it much different.
"I understand, Mr. Wren."
Mr. Wren looked at Aurora, who was still as calm and elegant as she used to be when they first met. There didn't seem to be any ripples in her beautiful purple hue's eyes.
She's confident.
This was Mr. Wren's impression of Aurora and he could tell that this confidence stemmed from either her ability or foolishness. Considering that Duke White wanted Aurora to take over the negotiation on her own even though she was still very young, the first one should be more plausible.
And this made Mr. Wren intrigued.
How much ability a 10 year old kid would have?
He will see it for himself.
