Chapter 253: Escape Him Forever
Rose looked at Welma with furrowed brows as she concentrated on what the maid was saying. It was almost time for dinner, and when she had heard the knock, she thought it was her dinner—rather, Welma had appeared.
"What are you doing here?" Rose had asked. There wasn’t any anger in her question, rather it was curiosity, as the maid had a serious look on her face.
Welma stepped forward and she didn’t start speaking until she was close to Rose. "Mister Henry called for me, and he told me the crown prince wouldn’t want you to go to him for the next couple of days," Welma said carefully, like she was rephrasing the words.
"Days?" Rose asked. "Did he say how long exactly?"
Welma shook her head. "But he added that you should not forget that you leave with the crown prince in three days."
"As if I can forget," Rose replied.
Her gaze darkened. Did the crown prince plan to avoid her for three whole days but still take her with him? If he was going to do that, he should let her go back home. She didn’t care that he didn’t want to see her. She wasn’t exactly missing out on anything.
She also already had the chance to check the crown prince’s bedchambers, and she came up with nothing that would help in her escape plan. She doubted this would change, but it was a shame she would not be able to find out.
"Is there anything else?" Rose asked.
Welma shook her head. "That was all Mister Henry said."
