Chapter 132
The next day, Zayne set out with some guards to escort Rose to Lord Ambrose’s estate.
Zayne sat alone in the carriage, watching Rose look out the window taking in the new sight of the land they passed by. Though they agreed she should stop for a while, Rose was back to searching for what she could remember.
"There aren’t many homes around. Are we on the lord’s land already?" Rose questioned.
"For some time now yes," Zayne replied, rolling up the map he used. "We should arrive at his gates shortly since we left camp at breakfast. Do you need a moment to calm yourself before we reach there? You are pulling at your dress."
Rose moved her hand to the seat to leave her dress alone. "I didn’t notice. Isn’t it too much? What if they think we are putting on a show and I didn’t get to thank Charlotte for picking out another dress. You didn’t inform me you would go there after the palace."
"You can thank her when we go back. She is looking forward to seeing you again and there is nothing wrong with the dress, Rose. You can dress up as you like," Zayne answered, enjoying Rose’s attire today. "You’ve been doing better with braiding your hair."
Rose welcomed the compliment as she had been trying hard to get better with her hair. "Thank you. The comb you gave me is helpful and I have the ribbons from Janice to make my hair pretty. You can use the comb if you want. Your hair is far longer than mine. How are you able to comb it?"
Zayne was used to the maids at home combing his hair and during his travels, he ignored it. "There is normally someone to help with it or I will cut it short-"
"No!" Rose yelled, leaning forward as she did so. She bit her lip, surprised by her reaction. "I mean, you can do whatever you want with your hair. Please ignore me."
