Chapter 12

Why is her aunt still unmarried, despite being a year older than the proper age of marriage?

What about her third uncle?

Why did her second uncle not remarry after his wife's death? And if he loved her so much, why did he abandon their daughter and stay at the borders?

Why didn't her father bring his illegitimate son back until later?

There were a lot of questions she hadn't thought of before, or more like she didn't care enough to know about them. So many questions swirling in her head, and she might have an idea of where she might find their answers.

"good morning, Auntie Angie !" she made sure to act especially cute, waving her arms and skipping towards her aunt's spot in the garden.

The royal princess has a wide network and a lot of connections, a trendsetter and a celebrity in the social circles, many admire her for her wits and beauty.

From the imperial family, she dotes on Amourora the least, it doesn't mean she doesn't like her, but she just finds her moody behavior irritating. Still, at every special occasion, she'll call her over and personally choose her outfits and hairstyles.

Royal Princess Angelina is the epitome of a graceful lady, and she is well known for her talents in arts and music. Just like amourora, she holds great resemblance to the late queen, especially her wavy silver hair.

Although only a royal princess, she holds power almost equivalent to the queen herself. There isn't a rumor that goes around without her being one of the first to know of it. Which makes her the perfect candidate for obtaining information.

"I wonder what our little flower wants today?" she giggled.

She didn't miss Amourora's slight change yesterday, and it was quite unusual for Amourora to visit her without being called upon. So if her guess is true, then Amourora most likely wants something.

"I want to have tea with Auntie!" Amourora smiled sweetly. "Auntie, what are you embroidering? Is it for me?"

She's most well-behaved in front of her aunt, because unlike others, her aunt won't tolerate her antics.

"I'm practicing the imperial emblem. Do you want to give it a try?" she suggested with a small smile.

"no. Sounds boring." she shook her head and took a flower-shaped cookie from the snack tray. "don't you have anything fun to do?"

Angelina rolled her eyes. "do you want to go on a walk in the gardens?"

"yes!" Amourora jumped from her seat. "let's go shopping later, too."

"why? Don't you have a lot of clothes?" she stood up from her seat and walked next to her niece, paying more attention to the dress Amourora's wearing.

Unlike yesterday's simple teal dress, the one she had on today was a luxurious frilly pink dress with endless poofy layers and golden accessories adorning her hair. Hmm...

"Auntie, you look so beautiful next to the flowers." Amourora praised, then quickly added. "Of course, I look prettier, but you're not too bad."

"oh, thanks?" her lips twitched, this little girl can't compliment people without adding an insult.

"Auntie... When will you get married?" Amourora asked curiously. If she wasn't paying close attention to her aunt, she would have missed the flicker of emotions in her eyes.

"why, do you want me gone that badly?" Angelina flicked her niece's forehead.

"ah. Of course not! But, I want to be the flower girl!" she replied sweetly. "I was just wondering... You are so beautiful, talented, and have many suitors..."

" well, it's...more complicated than that. "

" how? "Amourora blinked her big eyes, pretending to be a naive little girl.

"... You will understand when you are older. " she moved a few steps faster." oh, Rosabella, I'm hosting a small tea party for the daughters of high ranking nobles, are you interested?"

"if that's what Auntie wants." Amourora understood she didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't push it.

In her last life, she attended and made friends with Asterix, Aurelia, and Briallen. Aurelia was the legitimate daughter of Duke Veritas, Victoria's sister. She was two years older, but received strict education since young, making her a little better than her peers in terms of etiquette and knowledge.

An elegant and docile beauty. But in the novel, she was conceited and scheming. Her ending wasn't any better than Amourora's, after her fiance fell for her sister, and broke off the engagement, she tried different tricks to win his heart, but only ended up with a broken heart and a disfigured face.

In the novel she definitely suffered the most out of all the villains, she was actually sold to a human trafficker as a prostitute, but committed suicide soon after.

She and Amourora didn't end in good terms, after Victoria sowed discord between them, but she was still heartbroken after reading what happened to her. In this life, she wants to teach that proud but obedient girl how to have more self love.

Believe it or not, Aurelia is actually self conscious, that's why she does everything in her power to keep a perfect public image of herself, unfortunately for her, her half-sister, Victoria, was a big threat to protecting her image .

She also wants to show her that not all boys are worth it, If a man betrays her trust and heartfelt affection, there's no need chasing after him. She should chase after her own happiness instead.

"when will it be?" Amourora asked.

"a week from now."Angelina answered." make sure to come to me early. "

" mhm" she nodded plucking a flower and bringing it closer to her nose.

Both she and the female lead transmigrated yesterday, if she wanted to change her fate, she would need more people on her side.

Plus, she would love to 'reunite' with her old 'friends', even if to them, it would be their first meeting, and to her past self they were more of 'underlings with status'.
