Chapter 298
Needs Editing
The ride back to the estate was just as quiet. Rose didn’t have anything to say and a part of her was still in disbelief. Last night she had made up her mind about what she was going to do and today there was new that the crown prince has woken up. Well, not exactly but at least Prince Rylen thought it was enough for him.
She gripped the reins tighter as they stopped in front of the main entrance of the mansion she had only left a few moments ago. The doors opened immediately and Prince Rylen walked right out. Lord Leopold and Lady Deana were right beside him. Rose was surprised they would come to receive them.
Thoma jumped off this horse quickly, glancing towards her to see if she needed any help but Rose didn’t need any. She freed one leg from the stirrup and uncrossed it over the horse. While, still holding on the horse, she dropped the freed foot to the ground and freed her other foot.
Rose rushed towards them as she got off the horse, curtsying before she started to speak. "Prince Rylen, Your Lordship and Ladyship."
"I was worried, we might not be able to stop you in time," Rylen was saying with a smile on his lips.
Rose lifted her head. "Is His Majesty awake?" She asked.
"Not right now but Lord Paul says, he is only sleeping and perhaps soon he should be awake to stay away more than a few moment."
Rose nodded. This was pretty relieving to hear but at the same time, she didn’t feel the joy she thought she would feel at not having to go to trial but she was basically still stuck here on the crown prince’s wing.
She smiled tightly at Rylen, she was sure it didn’t reach her eyes. "I am grateful," she said but her voice sounded empty.
"Welcome back," Lady Deana said with a smile. "I was surprised when I heard you had to go to the castle so suddenly but now that the crown prince is awake, there is no need for that and you both can return together."
Rose glanced at Prince Rylen, wondering what he had told the Lord and Lady. Rose wasn’t sure they knew she was going to the castle for putting the crown prince in danger.
