Chapter 108
"You are a busy little thing. Aren’t you working yourself too much?" Mary asked, tired just from watching Rose work.
All doubt about Rose went away now that Mary saw how hard Rose worked when Zayne was not present. Rose couldn’t be foolish to think that Zayne would want her for being good at her job so it was evident that Rose just wanted to do her best as a maid.
"I want to have all his things packed away. He did not get to do it last night and I didn’t get to put away my dresses because I was too tired. I will be done here soon," said Rose.
"Are you comfortable sharing a room with him?" Mary questioned as it weighed her mind all night from the second she heard Rose would stay with Zayne.
"It is not bad. My bed was placed in another room with a door which I could lock. Have you seen how large the beds are? They are like this," Rose spread out her arms but it wasn’t enough to show the length. "A lot bigger than this. Why does anyone need such a big bed?"
Mary smiled as it was funny how the bed got Rose’s attention. "I do not understand it as well. I only need a small space to rest or maybe I have gotten used to small beds during my travels. Having a big bed would be good for rolling around in your sleep."
"That is what I think it was made for. How long will they be gone for?" Rose inquired, looking at the gates once more.
Each time she looked, Zayne and the others were not there returning from their long trip to the palace. Rose could not wait to hear Zayne describe the palace and then have her lesson for the day.
"It is hard to tell. It depends on what kind of mood everyone is in. The meeting can be long or short. What we must hope for is for the general to return safely with everyone. Should anything happen to him and he does not return today, then we must prepare to fight," said Mary.
