Chapter 183
Anna was left puzzled as to what was so special about the field. There could be many bugs present just waiting to touch them. "We have always been different. This is not exciting for me."
"It is because you are just sitting around. Come with me," Rose said, getting to her feet as an idea filled her mind. "We can run around."
Anna tried to hide behind her mother. "We are not children, Rose. What if someone were to see us running around like we have lost our minds?"
"There isn’t anyone aside from the maids and guards. You must join me," Rose said, grabbing Anna’s hands to pull her up. "It won’t be fun if you are not beside me."
"Mother," Anna whined but she allowed Rose to pull her up. "Rose, if I fall you must pick every piece of grass from my hair and I won’t forgive you if a suitor sees me like this."
Rose ignored Anna’s warning and pulled her further into the field for them to run through the flowers. She heard Anna giggling behind her despite not liking the idea at first.
Part of Rose wished what she remembered had included Anna. She would have been happy if she knew she had a little sister somewhere in the kingdom.
Madeline remained in her seat, letting the two enjoy their time running around and laughing. The moment was sweet but Madeline still looked around for danger though there were plenty of guards around.
The thought of both her daughters being taken away from her was there and it was a feeling she could never get rid of. After losing Rose, Madeline thought endlessly about how there was always a chance it could happen again since the person who did it wasn’t caught. Her duty was to look out for danger so that chance would not come again.
