Chapter 229
Hours later, Rose returned to the palace with Anna and Finn sent to escort them there and back home.
Rose looked out the window, thinking of where Alexander had picked to go. Was it safe for him to walk around when everyone else stayed inside because of Zayne’s soldiers? If he told Zayne that Alexander had left and wanted him not to be stopped by soldiers, would Zayne do it?
"Why do you seem so down, Rose? Or should I call you Princess Rose?" Finn wondered.
Rose turned to Finn. "I don’t want it to be known that I was the king’s daughter."
"Oh, I don’t mean because of that. I meant from you marrying Zayne. You know, the soldier’s attitudes toward you are changing. You’ll find that they will be a little more protective of you," said Finn.
Rose didn’t believe it since she was used to everyone looking at her like she didn’t belong. "It is hard to believe. Is it all because of Zayne?"
Finn thought about it. "Some of it is. A lot of the men and women saw how kind you were when you worked for Zayne and seeing how the slightest noise scared you, they saw that you were harmless. Their opinion about you had changed but you were looked at as Zayne’s woman so they couldn’t just speak to you."
"Those who didn’t start to like you will protect you because you are Zayne’s woman. They respect him too much to let you get hurt and do nothing. A lot will change when you carry the Hamilton name. You still need to be careful as there are a few who don’t care for you," said Finn.
It was primarily the men sent to watch Zayne by the king and the court.
