Chapter 307
Rose waited for Mary to return first before she let the women take their seats. It worked out well that no one was stalled since the other ladies wanted to look around. From their faces, the estate wasn’t what they were expecting.
Rose imagined why they thought there would be soldiers all around with weapons scattered everywhere they walked. Rose had not witnessed such a sight since none of Zayne’s soldiers came here to train.
"Thank you," Mary whispered to Rose. The dress was more comfortable giving her the freedom to walk without pulling at the dress. "I shall wash and return it to you."
"You do not need to. You may keep it since you find it to be comfortable and please, take any others that catch your eye. Zayne bought too many as wedding gifts and I received plenty more from others. Take what you like," Rose offered since she had more than enough.
Mary took her seat beside Rose. "I cannot take what your husband bought for you. I will find a dress similar to this one and send it back to you. I can only feel better if I do this."
"If that is what you want then so be it," Rose replied.
Rose sat with Catherine to her right and Mary to her left with the other ladies picking their seats.
"You are free to ask anything about myself or the kingdom where I grew up. I’m sure you are curious as I am curious about you and this kingdom so please, don’t hesitate to ask. We do not need to worry too much about titles here. I wish for a day without anyone being tense," Rose said, trying to get them to relax.
Catherine kept herself busy with the tea Rose had prepared. Rose forgot who she was married to so these women wouldn’t be so quick to ask her what was on their minds and forget about titles.
