Chapter 73
The next day, Rose waited until after breakfast to bring up the news of her trip to Janice.
"If you want to go, you should. My only concern is you are travelling with that group. Tension is still high between our kingdom and theirs. I don’t think it is safe for you to travel with so many soldiers from another land and I worry about what the people here will speak of you," said Janice.
Rose would stick out among the foreigners so people from this land would speak about her since they would be afraid to speak about Zayne.
"I have considered all that last night and still want to go. If I worry about what others think, I will be stuck doing nothing and not exploring. Zayne says he will escort me back here and by that time, the two kingdoms should be united right?" Rose asked.
"It is hard to say. I overheard in the market that the king might go back on his word for peace. War is quite unpredictable. I would like peace since I don’t want to be running around trying to hide. Since you are eager to do it, I won’t hold you back," Janice replied.
Janice had done her fair share of travelling and enjoyed every bit of it. Rose should have her chance to do it.
"I will be sure to bring you back a gift. Perhaps a fine dress for you to change around to your liking?" asked Rose.
"I would like that but first we must start putting together what you will need for the trip. You will need more garments and dresses. You will need something to snack on so you don’t need to wait for when they have to eat. You should have a cloak as well for when it rains-"
"Janice," Rose touched Janice’s shoulders to calm her. "He said he needs to leave soon but I think we have enough time to get what I need. I have money from what he has paid me to get what I need the next time we must go to the market."
