Chapter 138
Anna stepped back when she remembered what the blue eyes from all the gossip meant. "You are one of the outsiders? The visitors who came to see the king. You didn’t tell me we had such important guests."
"I was going to tell you of his presence later. Is there something you need, Zayne?" Madeline asked, leaving Rose’s side to go to the door.
"You said I could return when I finished looking at the room and there is some big issue about baking," said Zayne.
"Oh. I am having all of Rose’s favourites made so it might help her to remember. I," Madeline started to walk away but then stopped to look at Rose.
"You may go ahead. I will have a walk around," Rose said, getting up from her seat. "I will walk with Anna to get to know her."
Madeline nodded her head, liking the sound of that. It was important for her daughters to be close again. Anna would be best at showing Rose around and helping her to get settled in. "I will be near the kitchen if you need me. Be kind to show your sister around, Anna."
Madeline smiled when she walked by Zayne to go out the door.
Anna still couldn’t believe her eyes that one of the foreigners was standing before her. If her friends or anyone else found out, they would be jealous. "You are a soldier, right? What are you in your army? I have heard the name Zayne before."
"I am the general," Zayne said, going around the young girl to get to Rose. "You look pretty. Can I treat you to dresses now that you are a lady? A lady must accept gifts."
