Chapter 236: A Rumor
Rose’s grip on the ropes tightened as she wondered why he was coming toward her, but Caius only spared her a glance as he walked the other way, heading for the washroom. Rose snapped out of it and rushed for the door, the ends of the robe dragging on the floor.
Rose stepped out of the room and froze in her tracks. Right outside was Prince Rylen—and he wasn’t alone. Servants stood right behind him, and Rose also saw Mister Henry.
Prince Rylen was dressed impeccably as always. His platinum blonde hair was brushed and fell across his forehead, the pale color drawing attention to his face. In the right light, it would look almost white.
Deep blue eyes narrowed at Rose as she stood before the double doors. It was unclear whether he stared at her with concern or vexation.
"Prince Rylen," Rose said instinctively, curtsying in the crown prince’s robe, which was also playing the role of a mop.
He didn’t reply; rather, he waved his hand at her, and Rose nodded before immediately going on her way. She glanced back and could see Prince Rylen going into the crown prince’s room.
Rose turned her attention back to her path and sprinted to her room, which was thankfully not far off. She got into her room, resting her back against the door.
Rose took a deep breath as the incidents from last night and this morning played in her mind. She was more bothered by the incidents that occurred this morning.
Rose couldn’t decide what to make of it. Her room was literally a few feet away from the crown prince’s—he didn’t have to let her stay the night. Rose couldn’t recall what happened after she passed out, and it slightly bothered her.
She pushed herself off the door, trying to push the thoughts away. Right now, she had to clean up before her breakfast arrived. She didn’t like that the sisters tended to see her in this sort of state.
