Chapter 273: The Marketplace
Rose climbed into the small carriage with Lady Deana, sitting beside her. Rose grabbed her hat as a light wind blew past just as she got into the carriage.
Lady Deana had been nice enough to give her a peach-colored hat, which she tied around her head. Rose appreciated this as it was a decent protection from the cold.
As soon as she got in the coachman closed the door and soon enough rode out of the estate.
Beatrice rode behind them with the servants’ cart, already holding the empty baskets they would fill at the market. Some servants had already been sent ahead on foot. Rose was informed that the marketplace wasn’t too far from the estate.
Rose tried to look around as they went. The road was different from the one they used while going to the estate, and Rose kept her eyes glued to the road as she didn’t want to miss anything. But surprisingly, Lady Deana wanted to have a conversation with her.
"Where did you meet His Highness?" she suddenly asked after a few casual conversations.
Rose froze and slowly turned around to look at the lady. "Edenville," she replied.
"His Highness went there?" she asked.
Rose nodded. Now that she thought about it, she didn’t exactly know why the crown prince came all the way to Edenville. And that wasn’t all—he went to her faraway town with more men than he did to Futherfield.
"Yes. About two months ago," she replied, staring at the woman. Was this why Lady Deana wanted to get closer to her? For information?
Lady Deana nodded. "I’m just curious. My husband came back from the castle, and he wouldn’t stop talking about how His Highness wouldn’t let him see the famous redhead in the castle," Lady Deana said with a soft laugh. "I’m sure what he did during dinner last night was to get back at the crown prince."
Famous! Rose didn’t think that.
