Chapter 311
After the garden party, a few weeks went by quickly with Rose further settling into the kingdom and meeting with the friends she made or receiving visitors. She had yet to fully explore the town but Rose did not mind it. She had all her life to see the town but at the moment, she was focused on becoming a mother.
The wait was hard and the fact there was nothing she could do but wait for any signs she might be carrying their first child. Zayne didn’t seem as impatient as she was but she knew he was waiting for it to come.
The announcement of Zayne stepping away from being a general had been made a week ago with it receiving mixed reactions. Most were angry and disappointed to hear that he would step down now when he was leading the army to victories while those close to him understood his reasons.
It wasn’t the best time for Rose to leave the estate since she would either be questioned about or blamed for Zayne’s decision.
So, Rose invited Emilia to the estate since they were both trying their best to become pregnant.
Rose looked to the sky which was beautiful today. She noticed mored of how her garden was changing as well as the land around the estate. It was more apparent that the season had been changing. "It is a beautiful day but it is starting to feel chilly like there will be a lot of rain coming soon. I hope there isn’t another storm coming. Is it often that you get storms?
"It is not. I think the weather is just changing like normal. You must be relieved this time that your husband is at home. I remember all the panicking about his disappearance," said Emilia.
"I am happy to not need to experience it again. The next time he must sail I will be with him to see my family. Many people have been trying to meet with him to have him think over stepping down as a general. I know my arrival is seen as the reason. I don’t think he will be away forever," Rose said, knowing Zayne loved the sea too much to stay home. "He will want to protect the kingdom."
"I am not upset that he has stepped down. They do not know you are trying for a child and even if they did, they would not see it as a reason for him to be with you. I think it is sweet that he wants to be home with you during this time. Without him here there wouldn’t be a way for you to have your first child," Emilia teased Rose.
