‘Shorten it?’ Aurelia was at a loss.

Neil went closer to her, his tone probing. “Didn’t I tell you that the queen likes the clothes you made? If you get the chance to become an embroidery artist in the palace, you’ll get citizenship very soon, and you can make more money.

“Would you want a chance like that?”

Aurelia felt like this was a stroke of luck hitting her right in the face.

However, in her 18 years of life that was neither too long nor too short, according to her experience gained from her hard days, the better something sounded, the more dangerous a trap it was.

The queen must have met so many talented people. Why would she insist that an unknown person like her go into the palace as an embroidery artist?

Moreover, the palace was not a fun place to be. She did not have to be there to know it. Even when she did not know what the royal family was like, she had watched dramas. Those were people who looked calm and unfazed, but the struggle for power was overwhelming.

Aurelia could adapt to a complicated environment, but that did not mean she liked it!

Compared to the glorious and grand yet unpredictable place, she would rather stay 15 years in this small tailor shop.

She frowned and naturally thought of the princess who had come for Neil in the morning… It must be the woman’s idea to ask her into the palace! What did she want!?

No matter what she wanted, she would not be able to do a thing if Aurelia stayed away from her.

Aurelia calmly ate a spoonful of jelly, swallowed it, and firmly shook her head.

“I don’t want it.”

Neil was elated by the answer!

His heart had been lodged in his throat just now, scared that the girl would be careless, daring to risk anything in order to get her citizenship. He would definitely stop her if she really agreed to go to the palace!
