Aurora was taken aback by my words. The idea of a hidden affair between a noble and a commoner was frowned upon in the world of nobility. What's worse is a liaison between a Royal Princess and a commoner, like as I said before to threaten Lyra. While my words were a lie, it was enough to tarnish her image. I said it out of anger but also to spread rumors about Aurora's friendship with Jayden around the academy. They had been meeting frequently and had developed a little bond over the past month.
What was strange though was that she wasn't acting like in the game with Jayden and it was because of me. I was attracting more her attention than Jayden—of course in the wrong way.
I focused again on Aurora who spoke.
Aurora replied, "Your jokes are unworthy of nobles."
Despite her response, the damage had been done, and I knew that my words would spread throughout the academy and the kingdom in the coming days. However, my mind was preoccupied with another matter at hand.
