Suspicious

The three of them went to the restaurant in question. Like what Aurora had said, the restaurant did sell take away box for them if they didn't want to eat in the restaurant. Right now, the restaurant itself is quite full as many people came out to participate and enjoy Sun Festival. 

"Wow, there's a full meal set too!" Crown Prince Edward was happy when he saw that the entire meal could be packaged. Even though the package was not very good, but he didn't have to wait for seat.

Even though a VIP seat could be prepared for him, Cade didn't want to use it.

Not today. 

"Let's find some seat to eat."

"Yes!"

Crown Prince Edward and Adela made their way to the square and occupied the seat. After that, they started to eat while talking about the play just now. 

It looked like the two of them were really excited about it. 

"His Highness is still a child after all," one of Crown Prince Edward whispered in a low voice.

Aurora, who passed by, heard the sentence and her lips pursed, but she didn't pursue it. She ate not far from them, still following the formal etiquette that was taught to her. Even when she was out here, she couldn't really relax completely. 

Meal for children were not too much, so it was done quickly. 

"It's going to be late soon. Let's go back, Adela," Aurora reminded.

"Yes, ah…" Adela slipped and Crown Prince Edward quickly caught the young girl before she could fell to the ground. 

"Are you alright?" Crown Prince Edward frowned and felt distressed. It seemed that Adela was really a bit weak and need more nutrition. Even when she was walking around, she could even fall. 

"Y..yes, I'm fine!" Adela was a bit flustered, but she tried her best to stay calm. 

In front of her, Aurora blinked her eyes. 

If she was not sure before, now she was sure that Adela liked Crown Prince Edward based on her reaction. 

But she was only 9 years old, right?

Even if she would turn 10 years old in a month's time, it's still too fast!

It was also at this moment Aurora recalled her mother's words. 

"Love is the most unreasonable thing in the world. Many people do stupid things in the name of love."

At that time, Aurora knew that her mother was referring to her brother, Red Kingdom's King. Because he fell for another woman, he made her his concubine and have a child with her. It was also because of this that the situation in the Red Kingdom was a bit stiff. 

Back then, Aurora didn't think too much. 

Because she couldn't understand such an illusory feeling like love. 

But seeing her sister's reaction to Crown Prince Edward and the distance that Adela made to her in the recent times, Aurora felt that she had some guesses. 

Still….

The word Aurora heard Adela uttered back then rang in her mind. 

'I'm… Adela White… the protagonist and she's… the villainess…'

It was a strange term that Aurora had never heard being used in real life. If it was a story, then it was a completely different matter. 

But right now…

Aurora took a deep breath and stepped forward. Her thoughts process only lasted for a second, but she was thinking a lot of things. 

"Adela, are you alright? Did you get hurt?" Aurora asked with concern.

Adela straightened herself with Crown Prince Edward's help. She smiled brightly and looked a bit smug. "Sister, don't worry, I'm fine." 

Ah really…

Seeing Adela's expression, Aurora only smiled faintly and didn't say anything else. She helped Adela up and bid farewell to Crown Prince Edward before making her way back to Duke White's Mansion. 

Crown Prince Edward watched as the two girls left and sighed. 

"Second Miss Adela is really weak." Crown Prince Edward shook his head. "Come to think about it, she will have her birthday at the start of autumn next month, I better give some replenishment to Duke White's Mansion. What do you think about it, Mike?"

Mike is Crown Prince Edward's personal knight who was responsible to protect him. Since Crown Prince Edward was traveling incognito as a commoner, Mike was also dressed as a commoner and followed Crown Prince Edward.

Of course, he carried his sword with him in case it was necessary. 

Hearing what the crown prince said, Mike replied, "Your Highness, it would not be appropriate."

Even though Adela is Aurora's younger sister, it was not appropriate for her to receive gifts from her sister's fiancé. Moreover, the two girls hadn't had their debut and entered the society. 

Technically, the two of them were still 'young girls' and it was not suitable to have much communication with other nobles. 

Of course, there were also many nobles who had their engagement even before their debut such as Crown Prince Edward and Aurora. The two of them were engaged due to the fact that their family background was suitable and some other political benefits. 

But most other girls would only have their engagement after their debut.
