Chapter 207: Rosalie’s Concerns
Rosalie hurried up the stairs, her face pale with worry and her steps quickening. News of a commotion that happened at the mansion’s compound had reached her, and the knowledge that her husband, Anryr, was involved in it filled her with anxiety. A servant had informed her that the steward had gone to the first floor to prepare the guestroom for Clara, as ordered by the grand duke.
Upon seeing her husband standing in the hallway near the guestroom door, the chief maid’s worries began to fade. Relief washed over her, and she instinctively placed a hand over her chest. Nevertheless, she approached him, wanting to know what had transpired.
"Are you all right, my dear?" Rosalie asked, concern lacing her words.
Her eyes scanned Anryr’s condition. She delicately held his hands while her own paled.
"I’m perfectly fine. Nothing has happened to me," the steward reassured his wife calmly.
"Oh, I was so worried! I thought you were hurt!" Rosalie began to cry, her emotions overwhelming her.
Such a commotion had never happened before. So, its occurrence had alarmed her greatly. Anryr smiled as he witnessed his wife’s deep concern. He gently squeezed her hand and then wiped away her tears.
"There, there. Stop crying. We still have our duties to attend to," he comforted her.
Rosalie nodded, doing her best to regain her composure. Noah and Elis, who stood nearby, watched the couple with admiration. Despite being married for many years, their love for each other remained strong.
Noticing Noah and Elis’s presence, the chief maid gestured in respect to the knight and nodded at the maid.
"You’re here as well, Miss Canton," she said.
