Chapter 292: Not Her Fault
Rose kept her head down as he spoke. There was no way she could look Prince Rylen in the eye. She was surprised he was even addressing her directly. He was also speaking so softly. Rose didn’t expect to be spoken to in such a manner. He was also showing consideration for her injuries.
"The crown prince is still unconscious, and the physicians from the castle are locked in the room with him. No one else is allowed in. They’ve been in there since they arrived, and I don’t think they’ll be stepping out anytime soon. There is no point being here, you should try to get some rest, instead." It is the only thing you can do.
Rylen didn’t add this last part aloud. He knew exactly what Thomas was trying to prevent Rose from saying, the same way he also knew that a harsh approach was not the way to go.
Rose was visibly distressed, and judging by the dark circles under her eyes, she hadn’t gotten any sleep at all. It was clear to anyone that she was exhausted and in pain, yet she had made her way here to inquire about His Highness’ health.
It was truly an unfortunate situation.
Prince Rylen feared for her. The castle would not be so lenient. If only the crown prince could wake up soon.
Rylen sighed. He hadn’t slept a wink. Didn’t even want to. Until he heard good news, he didn’t plan to move from this spot. Paul hadn’t stepped out of the room since he went in. A few physicians had run past on errands, but not one of them had stopped to tell him anything.
"Thank you, Prince Rylen," Rose said with another curtsy.
"Thomas," Prince Rylen called softly. "Make sure she gets to her room."
Rose didn’t like the finality in his tone. She suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to apologize. She had done something incredibly wrong, hadn’t she?
