Chapter 306
Rose tried to listen to Catherine speaking to the ladies but she was worried about Paige and the guest she was sending off in the carriage. She knew that it was invite only so they wouldn’t have random women showing up but the guest was here and Paige seemed to be close to the young woman. Was it someone who would ruin the day or were they just sticking to the invite-only rule?
Catherine and Paige shouldn’t expect Rose not to be curious. Catherine returned to Rose’s side with a smile but she noticed that Catherine seemed very upset by what Paige did, like there was more to Paige bringing someone who wasn’t invited.
’If only Mary was out here to tell me who it was,’ Rose thought.
Having enough of worrying about what was already dealt with, Rose focused on the three women ahead of her who seemed equally curious as she was about them.
"Rose, this is Emilia Sinclair. Her husband is also in the king’s army and once was under Zayne’s command," Catherine introduced the first young woman.
Emilia curtsied to greet Rose. "Lady Hamilton. It is a pleasure to meet you and I am most grateful for the invite."
Emilia had been surprised when the invitation arrived and first thought it was a mistake that it was sent to her home. She had a day of panicking about what to wear as one of the first ladies to meet Rose. To see that Catherine and Paige were also present made her even more nervous.
"It is also a pleasure to meet you, Emilia. How long has it been since your husband was with my husband?" Rose asked.
"Less than a year. He is more involved in protecting the king now. He loved sailing under your husband’s commands but he finds it to be a great honour to be picked to guard the king. It was Prince Zayne’s suggestion that helped him so I am most grateful to your husband," said Emilia.
