Chapter 112
The next day, Rose sat in the carriage, which she was yet to accept as her own, with Zayne, Finn and Mary while the other soldiers travelled on horses.
Rose was glued to the window as there was much for her to see and she was looking out for the field from her dreams. There was a chance she might find some clue as to who her family was as Zayne would take her to the town guards.
Rose crossed her fingers, hoping that the town guards here would be better than what she was used to. That they would care about the little people like her.
"They are all big," Rose said, amazed by the size of the homes.
So far it wasn’t like at home where there were small homes crowded together. Most of the homes she saw now were large with some having high walls around them.
"Must be an area for the wealthy. This town is said to be quite rich because it is so near to the palace. This must be where the stories we heard of this kingdom being grand came from. Maybe a few nobles or fallen nobles live around here," said Finn.
"Fallen nobles?" Rose asked, looking away from the window to Finn.
"You can lose your title if the king finds your actions to be worth taking it away. At times, there is no male heir in families for the titles to be passed on. Those aren’t fallen nobles but they are mocked as such. They will still have some wealth if they handle their money well. Zayne, didn’t you- Never mind," Finn decided against what he wanted to reveal.
Rose looked to her right at Zayne seated beside her. Was he a fallen noble? He certainly looked as nobles were described but then again, the description could be wrong.
