Chapter 128: Lethargic
"Did the crown prince explicitly say that, or do you not want to go?" Lily asked, her eyes scanning Rose’s face.
Rose felt a chill run down her spine, and she knew it wasn’t because of the evening breeze blowing through the open windows. Lily clearly didn’t understand the sort of relationship she had with the crown prince. It wasn’t the type where she made demands.
Just because it seemed like he favored her, didn’t mean that he actually did. She was nothing more than a prisoner and prisoners didn’t make demands, they accepted what they were given.
Rose closed her eyes and then slowly opened them. "I will go," she simply said.
The words sounded simple, and they left her lips easier than she thought they would but she knew the act itself was far from simple. However, what other choice did she have?
"Good," Lily said with a sigh of relief. "I’ll be back to help you get ready."
"Can I see Edna?" She had been to the dungeons before. If it was the same one, she could find her way there.
"Have you lost your mind? It’ll do you good to stay away from the Queen. Just do what you have to do and don’t try to provoke her anymore," Lily said. She sounded a little annoyed as she spoke.
Rose couldn’t comprehend how she had done that, but she knew her presence here was enough provocation for the Queen—and it was likely that Edna was targeted because of that.
This didn’t make any sense to her; it wasn’t like she was here of her own free will. Perhaps if the Queen had even thought to speak to her before orchestrating the kidnapping with Martha, she wouldn’t be here now.
