Chapter 281
Rose didn’t feel any better the next day as it was nearing noon yet there wasn’t any sign of Zayne. The weather started to get better but she refused to let Catherine go to the palace alone to speak to Gage. Instead, Rose sent two guards who were willing to send a message to the king.
Rose was back by the front to wait for when the message would return or if Zayne would return before it. Before she had been trying to stay calm and not think of anyone but now she was angry with herself and angry with the king. Zayne shouldn’t have left when he didn’t want to.
"Would you like a cup of water, Lady Hamilton? Miss Catherine is writing a letter to her daughter to see if she is safe," Krystle informed Rose.
"You have offered me plenty of water already. I know you are worried about me but I am not the one who needs your concern. I am fine," Rose promised. She lost count of how many times she told everyone she was well.
Rose was not the one in danger. Zayne and his ship were. Rose would hate to think that after not returning home yesterday, Zayne was somewhere in the kingdom and did not come to her first. He shouldn’t go to the king as she imagined they might fight again.
"Should I pay a passing carriage and go down to the docks?" Krystle suggested, willing to do anything to put Rose at ease.
"That is kind of you but we have already sent someone out. The wind is still a bit high and it looks like there is some rain. You should stay inside. I will soon move to be with Catherine," Rose said as she knew she couldn’t spend all day here.
The estate still needed to be looked after.
Krystle remained by Rose’s side since someone had to make sure the lady was well. She could hardly wait for the day the lady and her husband would be together again. No one should part a couple so in love with each other so soon.
Krystle couldn’t believe a day had come when she was angry with the king for someone she had known for little time.
"There is a carriage," Rose said in relief, getting to her feet to see who it belonged to.
