BXBX NOVEL Chapter 54 Aurora SS
He sat back on his throne and tapped the armrest.
"Is mother aware, father?"
Aurora asked with a stiffened face.
It was hard for her to keep a neutral face after what her father asked for.
"Your mother…"
Charles glanced to his left, at the empty throne reserved for the queen, his wife.
"I told her but, as you noticed, she is not here. She refused to hand you over to the Thomen's heir."
Charles sighed.
"Your mother really cares for you Aurora…she shouted and nearly fought me to go back on my decision."
He laughed, remembering the furious expression on his wife's face when he told her the news. Charles was a [Monarch] but, as expected, in front of his furious wife, he couldn't even do anything. Still, he didn't heed to her words and was firm in his stance.
Which is giving his pride, his daughter to Edward Falkrona, the heir of the powerful Falkrona Duchy.
"..."
Aurora smiled at her father's words.
On her young face was a resigned expression yet a serene one.
She knew, as a princess, it was her duty towards her kingdom. She had to marry Edward to have a deep bound between the two houses, thereby reinforcing their power in the kingdom.
The Falkrona House was feared even outside the kingdom, even more than the royal family. Its army, blessing and terrific strategist, Belle Falkrona. She was a genius at warfare and never suffered defeat in her life in a battle. With Duke Thomen Falkrona, his elder brother, she formed a powerful duo.
"I understand, father. I will do as you say."
Aurora had a determined expression on her face.
Charles didn't know whether to be proud of seeing such an expression on his thirteen-year-old daughter or sad for her fate.
The said fate was a displeasing one for most women.
Marrying Edward Falkrona, who became the most famous boy in the span of three years. He was already famous before for his genius and talent at a young age, but after he crossed ten years in age, he became even more known…not in a good way, unfortunately.
He was renowned for harassing every single woman his eyes caught. The maids were nearly assaulted by him and would have lost their most precious thing if not for the presence of Edward's younger sister and their father.
They were all unbelievable.
The boy who was reputed to be a kind and brave boy became like that. They guessed it must be because of his mother's death, but still the complete change bewildered more than one…including Aurora, who had known Edward very well since a child.
Before, she wouldn't have any problems, but now…her engagement made her feel bitter.
"Some strange movements are ongoing in the Arvatra Empire, according to our spies, Ante-Eden became strangely active these last years. Our kingdom needs to be strong and united now more than ever."
Charles felt pathetic as it felt like an excuse to make his daughter acquiesce his choice.
"If it is not you, then I will have to give Syl."
"No, father."
Aurora raised her voice when her father brought her sister's name.
There was no way she would accept her sister marrying Edward. If someone had to be sacrificed, then it her.
"Aurora…if he becomes uncontrollable and tries to force himself on you, I will not hesitate to cancel everything."
Charles promised in a cold tone.
Aurora smiled gently at her father's worry.
She would never resent her father, rather she was grateful he was willing to talk to her and ask her view on it.
"I have known Edward for years now, father…I can maybe change him as he was before…no, I will change him. It's my duty as his future fiancee."
Her gentle smile became a wry one, a beautiful smile.

READ! FEW CLARIFICATIONS:
1) It's a harem novel (I put the Harem tag) so Edward will have more than one lover. I can understand people who don't like harem and choose to leave. Thanks for having read and supported my book so far. :)
2) I'm sorry but I can't spoil Edward's future lovers. I'm sure you will understand when the time will come because it will spoil you guys. For example, a Heroine of the FIRST GAME might become Edward's lover in the Third Game Arc, so in more than hundreds of chapters. If I tell you right now it will be a big spoil, right? There are also other circumstances by the way, please understand.
3) Of course some of the Heroines will become Edward's lovers but not ALL of them. It's not Pokemon lol. The Heroines who will become Edward's lovers will be the ones who will genuinely fall for him and Edward as well.
4) I saw people who don't understand why Jayden had to have a harem to save the world. First because, in the game, some enemies are only defeated thanks to a specific Heroine fighting with Jayden. An enemy that 'just' Jayden can't beat alone. For example, Kaguya in Naruto could only be beaten by Naruto and Sasuke, not someone else, right? There is also a second reason, the most important one which will be explained in later chapters.
5) Edward will not be a Wingman for eternity lol. Believe me. In the Second Game and Third Game ARCS, the circumstances and his goals will be completely different! I ask for your great patience over Edward's denseness over his appearance (which will be soon resolved…) and his way of acting like a Wingman. He'll soon understand that it won't be enough to get a happy ending…
6) Edward is strong but his strength still doesn't reach the Main Characters ones. He has three legacies and two of them are unwilling to help him. The first one, Cleenah gave her blessing but he still has only 1 Anima's core so it's difficult to use the mirror's ability of Mary. Then his Falkrona Bloodline ability: It's one of the most powerful legacies of the world, believe me. Right now, he only unlocked the First Wing but once he will unlock the others and awakens his bloodline…you will think back of what I said here and understand that I didn't lie.
That's all!
I feel like I spoiled you a little guys but I hope most of your doubts have been resolved!
