Chapter 241
Rose couldn’t sit still the further the ship got away from what she knew as home. There was nothing to see aside from the other ships in the large open sea.
Rose was distracted by the men doing their roles to get the ship moving. There was always someone yelling for something to be done. It was a lot of work but she felt how excited they were to be heading home.
"Lady Hamilton," Mary greeted Rose. During this time, she was placed to guard Rose again.
"Mary! I was wondering where you were. He’s put you to guard me again. I’m sorry you are burdened by having to guard me again," Rose said, wishing Mary got a break. "I can speak to Zayne for you."
"Please don’t. It’s an honour for me to be picked to guard the wife of our prince and general. This is something for me to gloat about when I return home. Allow me to enjoy this," said Mary.
This was something she planned to add to her achievements and Zayne mentioned paying her well.
"I see. If you don’t mind, when it comes time that you don’t have to be my guard, would you join me for a sitting at my home? For food or just to talk. I will think of something else to make it more exciting. It is fine if you do not want to see me outside when you are not my guard," Rose quickly added, not wanting Mary to feel forced.
"I would love to. It is a great deal for a woman like me to be invited to a house in Hamilton by a lady. I must warn you that I don’t have a high social standing to be able to help you. The most I can do is advise on who to avoid," said Mary.
"That is more than enough for me but all I want is your company. You are the only friend I have. Well, other than Finn and I have talked to Liam a few times but I don’t know if he would consider us friends. He is so serious all the time," Rose rambled, not noticing Mary’s surprise.
