Chapter 272
"Aside from my mother, we shouldn’t bring any of them back."
Rose looked away from the carriages leaving to Zayne standing to the right of her. "I like Yvonne. She is a kind and sensible woman. She seems perfect for the king as she steps in when he says something wrong."
"And my sister?" Zayne asked, curious about her opinion of Paige.
Rose thought carefully of her answer since she didn’t want to offend the princess though she was not present. This was still Zayne’s sister. "She is lovely but I think I would enjoy her company after breakfast when I am far more energetic."
Rose continued, "I do not mind your sister’s questioning. Everyone seemed convinced that you would not get married so it is understandable they would want to hear the story. You have to leave, right?"
"I do but I haven’t confirmed it with him yet. I wanted to speak to you first to have you make the final decision."
"Why would you make such a decision on me?" Rose muttered. "If I were not with you then you would have gone, right?"
"What I would have done before we got married does not matter. It is about how you feel now. Do you think you could be with just my mother for a week? I won’t leave you if you want me to stay," said Zayne.
"I want you to be here but at the same time, I do not want to keep you from your duties. You do not need to worry about me settling in anymore. I am used to everything here already. I’ve found myself in a routine and though I might not need your mother’s company I welcome it. You should go," Rose said as he needed to help his brother.
