Chapter 137: Don’t Worry About Me
Rose’s feet hurt from all the pacing she was doing, but what else could she do? She wasn’t sure she could leave the room, and if it weren’t that she didn’t want to make things worse for Edna, she would have run all the way to the dungeons to see what was going on there.
She had not seen Lily since this morning, and it was almost noon, which also meant she hadn’t eaten as no one had thought to bring her food, but right now, it was the last thing on her mind. Rose doubted she would have had much of an appetite had she been brought any food.
Rose sat on one of the chairs. She had to ask the crown prince to let her out of the room. Surely, she wasn’t going to be kept here like an animal in a cage, only to be freed when the master wanted. However, Edna was more important now; she would deal with all the secondary things later.
She shook her leg as she sat down. It was insane how slow the day passed. She had never really noticed, but right now with nothing to do, it was all she noticed. She feared she might be losing her mind a little.
Rose jumped out of the seat as she heard a knock, and before they could knock a second time, she sprang to her feet and pulled open the door, startling Edna, but she was even more startled when Rose almost jumped on her, only the tray in the maid’s hands stopped her.
"Edna," Rose cried happily and immediately tried to take the tray from her.
"No," Edna said and pulled the tray away from her reach, sliding through the open doors.
Rose shut the door and rushed after her. The maid didn’t look any different; her eyes did look tired and a little red, but other than that, nothing seemed wrong. It had only been about half a day, and it felt like she had not seen Edna in ages.
She dropped the food on the table and turned to Rose. The cream apron tied around her dress had a few stains but that was the only thing out of place with her clothes.
Rose was unsure what to do as Edna was not saying anything. Worried that the maid might be angry with her, she kept to herself, wrapping her arms around her body.
