Chapter 158: If You Did—Good!
Rose was still full from lunch when dinner arrived, but this time around, Edna accompanied Lily when her dinner was brought. Rose was so happy to see her, and the maid equally had a bright smile on her face.
"Edna," she called as she opened the door.
"Rose," Edna smiled and slipped into the room, not letting Rose take the tray. Lily, however, handed the tray to Rose and refused to step into the room.
As soon as Rose took the tray, Lily turned on her heel and left, leaving Rose to stand awkwardly in front of the open door with a tray in her hand.
"Don’t pay her any mind," Edna said. "She’s just embarrassed from this afternoon."
Rose turned to look at Edna and slowly turned away from the door. She closed it with her foot and walked to Edna, who was placing the tray on the table.
"I heard what happened," Edna said as Rose got closer. She shook her head, her face showing disappointment.
"Do you think I told the crown prince?" Rose asked.
"What? Of course not. And if you did—good! They’re at fault for speaking to you in that manner and getting angry when they get punished for it. Besides, I heard Mistress Edith got a message from the Queen to find some way to make you miserable, and the maid was one of the people who agreed. This will serve as a warning to the rest of them. Anyone who wants to do the Queen’s bidding should be ready to deal with the crown prince," Edna announced with her chest in the air, eliciting a smile from Rose.
"I don’t like that. I’d rather not have to deal with any of this," Rose finally said.
