Chapter 199
The carriages and horses set out for the capital. Rose, Anna, Madeline and Victor sat in one carriage while the other carriage had been offered to Alexander and Finn.
Rose once again enjoyed looking out at the scenery and this time she had Anna to enjoy it with. She was relieved that Anna was understanding when she found out they did not share the same father and Anna’s curiosity in the royals was over.
Rose felt better letting Anna in on the secret as now there wasn’t anything to hide. Anna’s season to find a husband was not over as the current takeover of the kingdom would stop anyone looking for a partner.
Later, Anna would return to continue finding a husband but as of right now, Anna was more interested in seeing the state of the palace and secretly enjoying that her sister was a princess.
Madeline was the most anxious one as she thought of going so close to the place she was desperate to get away from. It was rare that she went near the palace unless there was something important concerning her family or she was treating Anna.
"There are foreign soldiers here," Anna pointed out.
Rose leaned against the carriage door to get a better look at the soldiers. She stayed in the camp yet she had not seen so many soldiers around Zayne. Where had he kept them?
"We are close," Victor announced.
Rose had hoped to stay with Zayne but like her father said, she would be seen as a weakness for Zayne if she was with him. She had to wait for Zayne to come to her which was easier now that she was back.
