Chapter 67: Have You Seen Rose?
"Rose," Edna called and knocked lightly, but when she noticed the door was unlocked and she wasn’t getting a response, she pushed the door open, and walked into the room.
"At this rate, you’re going to miss breakfast—," she started to say as she walked in but stopped speaking when she noticed Rose wasn’t in bed.
She stopped in her tracks and looked around the room. Martha looked to be slowly waking up. She moved to a sitting position, rubbing her eyes. Edna turned her gaze to Rose’s side of the bed again. She hadn’t seen Rose all day, and it was a bit odd she wasn’t in bed. Or was it that she didn’t return after she met with the crown prince the night before?
"What are you doing in my room?" Martha asked with a yawn.
Edna frowned. "Where is Rose?" she asked, ignoring Martha’s question.
Martha yawned again, stretching her hands to the sky. "How would I know?" she asked back.
"You share the same room," Edna said, a little angrily.
"Yes, but I’m not her babysitter," Martha scoffed and started to rise to her feet.
Edna rolled her eyes. "Also, why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be at the south wing?"
Martha paused and dramatically turned around to look at Edna, then smiled. "How is that any of your business?" she asked.
