Chapter 232
"Isn’t this too much?" Rose asked, sitting still as she was told to do by her mother and sister. "It is to be simple."
"Rose, you should know by now that simple does not go too well with this family for big ceremonies like this. Where does time go? It was just yesterday that I was sitting in the palace with the future queen and now we are preparing you to be a princess. Again," Anna added.
"It is not about becoming a princess. She will be his wife and Zayne, her husband. You must also leave tomorrow. I had wished for time to slow down but it is moving fast. Hold still," Madeline said as she fixed Rose’s hair.
Rose also wished to know why time was going so fast. The wedding planning had felt so slow but the day for the small wedding had come fast. It was nearing time for her relationship with Zayne to take the next step and then she had to say goodbye to her family.
"Your things are all packed and sent to be placed on the ship. I made sure to look over it all and some of your wedding gifts have been placed on the ship so you have something to distract yourself with on the long ride to your new home," said Madeline.
Rose grew nervous each time someone mentioned her new home. She wasn’t scared to leave with Zayne and start over somewhere else, but the thought of having to say goodbye was hard.
How was she to look her family in the eye and step on the ship without wanting to go back to them?
"The dress," Charlotte said, bending down to fix what looked wrong in her eyes.
When soldiers came knocking at her doors Charlotte thought her time in the world had come to an end until she was taken to the Ambrose’s home and saw the young woman she had wanted to dress. It had not only come as a surprise to learn that Rose was the missing daughter all along but that she was marrying the prince of a foreign land.
