Chapter 240
Close to noon, Rose had already returned to her family and said goodbye to Charlotte as well as Janice.
There was little time left in this kingdom so they headed to the docks where many of Zayne’s ships had already started to set sail for home as others came in to replace Zayne’s group.
Rose had much to look around at the dock. It was her first time here so she had to take in everything. It was nosy with many wooden barrels and boxes carried around as well as a terrible stench of fish as fishermen returned with their catches.
The docks were more lively than the town as the fisherman did not want to take many days off from getting their catches.
Rose had to be careful not to let her dress touch the fish carried around and take the smell onto the ship but with Zayne near her, there weren’t many bold to approach her. She was still walking with the enemy in the townspeople’s eyes.
Once Willow was officially declared queen and addressed the kingdom, Rose was positive it would get better as the two kingdoms merged.
"Rose, a gift from your siblings," Madeline said, offering Rose a box she kept hidden for this moment.
Rose turned to her mother to see the gift prepared by Willow and the others.
"She gave it to me during the wedding when you were with Zayne. They would be here but you know that queen must be well protected at this time. I will look after her until she feels comfortable in the palace. Anna has found herself as one of the queen’s ladies which she enjoys," said Madeline.
