Aurora didn’t know how to react for a moment as she just stared at the stretched hand in hesitation. As much as she was tempted to agree immediately, something was stopping her.

But why?

Wasn’t this the thing she always wanted? To have friends she could trust her back with and friends she would never have to lie with?

That was her only wish aside from getting Veer, then why was she hesitating?

Even if she tried her best to fool herself, Aurora knew she just fought Elara because she was jealous of her. Not only because she had everything Aurora wanted, but she was also courageous enough to take and face it.

But she never hated her. In fact, Aurora was truly grateful to Elara as she had taken care of Veer for all these years. After all, while she had made sure none of those opposing factions attacked Veer, it really wasn’t impossible to escape her radar considering their status.

It was Elara who had always done her best to keep Veer safe and happy. And for Aurora, his happiness was her first priority and she would willingly sacrifice her everything for it.

She gave the stretched hand one last look and thought, ’There is no more time for regrets. I will make my life better from now on. Fuck everything! I also deserve to be happy.’

For once, she was beginning to see things for herself and taking decisions without thinking of her clan and standing. She smiled, as she felt a strange liberation she couldn’t quite explain.

Smiling all the while, she took Elara’s hand and said, "I guess we have something in common. You’re an amazing woman so I don’t mind becoming friends with you."

"Hmm, I can’t say the same about you though."

Just when Aurora was going to smash a bottle at Elara, the short-haired girl laughed out loudly, "Haha! That’s the reaction I expect from you."

Aurora was stumped for a moment, as she looked at Elara’s genuine smile that held no malice or anything.

"Wanna know why I always keep picking a fight with you?"

Aurora was really curious about that, as she had nothing Elara would be envious of, so she asked, "Why?"

"It’s because the only time you show your real face with no hidden thoughts or anything is when you’re really angry. I’ll be honest, I hate the two-faced bitch you are but I don’t hate the real Aurora."

Elara smiled and said, "I honestly can’t understand your circumstances but you should know that I absolutely hate people who are full of smiles when they meet you but then begin to scheme your fall behind your back."

Aurora turned silent, as she looked down. After lingering for a while, she sighed and said, "Do you think I don’t hate it? I also absolutely detest it but I am the Grand Duchess and I can’t be like you."

"Then just throw that title away."

"I can’t as that is what I’ve worked so hard for. And it is also the only way I can support Veer. Do you even know how many enemies he has there? If he dares to set foot there, all the noble families will be alerted and who knows how many will try to kill him."

Her gaze hardened as she said, coldness dripping from her tone, "So, I don’t care if you hate me, because even I hate myself. But that won’t stop me from doing my absolute best to support him."

The room turned as the two women just looked dead in each other’s eyes. While on the sides, Veer gave them space to discuss things. He knew their ideologies clashed but they were smart enough to resolve their conflict.

Only Rock was sitting on the other table and eating to his full while ignoring their drama.

All of a sudden, Elara began to laugh as she said, "Haha! Thank God you hate that side otherwise we would have never been able to stay together. But now, we can gate your other persona all we want."

Aurora was speechless, but was still happy that Elara understood her. But there was still something she noticed, as she asked, "Wait! You said you hate me because of my two-faced side, but what about him?"

Veer blanked, suddenly finding himself as the centre of attention. He glanced at the two, thinking, ’The hell! Why are you dragging me in this conversation?’

Looking at her boyfriend, Elara flatly said, "Love is blind!"

Her reasoning left Aurora at a loss for words. She could just sigh and think, ’I am the same!’

"Alright, can you two not include me in this conversation?" Veer said. "Also, does that mean now you’re two friends? Finally?"

"I’m all for it as long as she agrees to one of my conditions," Elara said, grinning widely as she turned towards Aurora. "You will have to keep your real self with us and be open with us. If you’re in a problem or anything, come tell us. And never act that politely because you’re not polite at all!"

"Are these conditions?" Aurora chuckled softly. "That’s just benefits for me."

"Friendship is supposed to have benefits, Dumbo," Elara rolled her eyes. "But I guess I can’t blame you considering you never had any friends!"

"I can say the same about you," Aurora blushed slightly, but she didn’t want to back down. "Also, I had a friend."

"Oh, I have made a friend too," Elara grinned. "You remember Lily? This bastard’s another prey? She is my best friend. Also, what about your friend? Who is she and where? I would definitely like to meet someone who can make you admit friendship."

At that note, the table turned silent as a dark expression appeared on Aurora’s and Veer’s face. Noticing that, Elara sat up straight and said, "I’m sorry if I said something wrong, but what happened?"

Veer sighed and told everything about the Seeker Academy to Elara. After he finished, Elara slammed her hands on the table, shattering it even though it was made from hard stone.

Her eyes burned in fury as she growled, "How dare they!!"
