Chapter 109: The Princess Made Her Choice (2)
He stood by as the Dowager sent Cordelia Dupont, the arranged fiancée of Prince Louis with Princess Mary Ann to the school she wanted to go. The Dowager wanted the Princess to get a connection of any sort with Rosandale. She bet on the friendship between the girls. Also she wanted Princess MaryAnn to be harmonious with the future Queen Consort so that their relationship continued even in her absence.
And it seemed to have worked and those two got along with each other pretty well. Prince Louis who was not that interested in his fiancée fell in love with her during the frequent visits of Prince Louis to check out Princess MaryAnn in the University.
When the unfortunate accident happened, the Princess returned to Rosandale and participated in every event with utmost sincerity to his surprise.
During the coronation, she stole the heart of the people of Rosandale. He could see, she was not pretending.
The Dowager got more and more happier watching the Princess starting to emotionally attach herself with Rosandale. It was a slow process but in the end she saw the improvement. Him too as he was by the side watching her grow all this time.
After listening to the audio recording of her meeting with Prince Edward of Esteria, the Dowager could not keep her happiness to herself. She even granted five percentage raise for everyone who served her that month.
"Did you hear Bobby? Now Rosandale has the same place in her heart as Esteria. She won’t run away from her duties anymore." the Dowager spoke proudly.
And so he was sent here to bring her safely back to the place where she has millions of people eagerly waiting for her return.
He had his doubts when the Dowager confirmed her intentions of not giving up Rosandale for Esteria and now the Princess herself has proclaimed she is not going to choose one or the other.
How much has she grown!
Mr. Ed felt proud as if he was the one who raised Talia. He watched her from a distance for the past ten years after all.
