Aurora had nothing against kind people.
In fact, she felt that kind people were good because it meant that they have compassion within them.
But all kindness and compassion needed a proper place to be shown.
Thoughtless kindness would only put themselves in danger and it was not something Aurora wanted to see.
They were all people with high status, wealth, and power. Compared to the commoners and people around them, they have different weight in various matters.
If they wanted to be kind, it was fine.
But they had to remember their status and the fact that each and every action of theirs would affect the lives of countless people. There were many people who might want to make use of their position and got close to them.
This was what they had to avoid.
But despite being in high position, neither Crown Prince Edward and Adela realized this. They acted in a way they wanted to and helped the commoners around them simply because they could, not caring about the other consequences at all.
Aurora sighed.
Perhaps, being thoughtless was also good to a certain degree.
She couldn't help her sister, but if the Crown Prince Edward didn't change, it would be hard for him to protect his life.
The guard soon returned and then whispered to Aurora.
"Miss, the middle aged man from before is from the Black Market loan shark. The original amount of the debt is only 2 gold coins and had been repaid 50 silvers over the past 6 months. However, the interest is getting higher and higher…."
Listening to the explanation, Aurora knew that Crown Prince Edward was being used by the greedy middle aged man.
But it was fine.
As long as this was not a scheme to make use of the Crown Prince's compassion to plant their people around him. Because if it was that way, then Aurora couldn't let it happen and had to stop them.
"Good job." Aurora nodded at the knight and the knight stepped back.
After that, Aurora stepped forward and walked towards the two people who were still talking with each other. By now, Crown Prince Edward had already sent the young woman away and didn't bother too much with her.
It seemed that the action just now was nothing more than a momentary compassion.
"Your Highness," Aurora greeted.
"Sister!" Adela smiled brightly when she saw Aurora and Crown Prince Edward also looked in Aurora's direction with surprise.
Then, he thought about Adela's health and felt that it was not a surprise for Aurora to be here considering that Adela's health was not really good. Duke White wouldn't feel assured if his youngest daughter were to go out on her own.
"I'm sorry for not able to greet you properly in this place," Crown Prince Edward said with an awkward smile, but he still followed the greetings in accordance to the etiquette.
"This is the Sun Festival, Your Highness," Aurora replied. "It's only natural for us to enjoy it without having to restrain ourselves in the nobility's way."
"You're right." Crown Prince Edward chuckled. "Since we have gathered together, how about if we go together?"
Aurora glanced at Adela, who was still looking in Crown Prince Edward's direction and replied, "It is our honor, Your Highness."
"Ah, don't call me with such formality when we're out here." Crown Prince Edward scratched the back of his head and then said, "Call me Cade. In turn, I'll also call you with your chosen nickname."
Adela's eyes lit up. "Your Highness, you can call me Adela directly."
"Would that be inappropriate?" Crown Prince Edward was stunned.
The main reason why he picked a different name was because it would be impolite for one to call others with their name directly. If they were of nobility, they had to call the other party in accordance to the titles they have.
It was really tiresome.
But that was how the nobility has always been.
For this reason, it would be better to make up a name when one was traveling outside. In this way, they would not break the etiquette nor they would feel uncomfortable for having their name called directly by others.
And with a different name, they could differentiate it when they were acting as a commoner and when they were acting as themselves under the noble identity.
"That's…" Adela frowned. She seemed to have heard her mother said something about this, but she forgot about it.
"I'll go by the name, Anna, Cade," Aurora replied unhurriedly.
Seeing her sister had already started, Adela quickly said, "In that case, I'll be Ella."
"Now that's settled, let's go." Crown Prince Edward smiled at the two young ladies.
The two of them nodded.
