Provocation?

Aurora didn't really want to.

Previously, she followed her order because she had no other choice but to do it. But after coming out and having a lot of other things to do, Aurora realized that she couldn't stay like this.

This was the reason why she hadn't returned for a long time.

But now that she had returned, Aurora didn't plan to go and see Queen Ella or it would be troublesome.

Besides, she had guesses about what Queen Ella wanted. 

"I have only returned to the academy and needed time to consolidate my study," Aurora said with an apologetic smile. "I don't think I'll be able to see Her Highness soon, Your Highness."

"Is that so?" Crown Prince Edward nodded but didn't seem to care about this anymore. 

After that, they talked a few more words such as how Crown Prince Edward has been doing and his study.
