The Forgotten Princess Rose-Chapter 314

Rose wasn’t intending to insult Faith but rather to question her father’s actions. Regardless of how Lewis took her words, it didn’t change that Zayne was in fact a married man and Lewis was trying to push his daughter upon Zayne.

Lewis shouldn’t get angry when he was doing something so shameful.

"My daughter will never be a mistress. You must not know much about us since you aren’t from here. You came to our kingdom and didn’t say a word to anyone. You should be careful who you speak to," Lewis said, for a moment forgetting that Zayne was present.

Lewis stepped back so he would not be pulled forward by Zayne again. The prince couldn’t harm him here where there were so many watching him. He had to teach Zayne’s wife a lesson before she went around treating anyone as she liked all because she carried the Hamilton name.

Rose touched Zayne’s hand. While she liked that he would always jump to protect her, she could handle Faith and her father. If she didn’t show that she knew how to defend herself then these people were going to think she was only protected with Zayne around and try to bother her when he wasn’t.

Rose couldn’t continue to let anyone speak to her as they liked and get away with it. She wasn’t the person who liked to run and hide anymore.

"You should take your advice," Rose replied. "You are speaking to a Hamilton. I might not share the same blood as the Hamilton royals but I am still a Hamilton through marriage and what you have been trying to do regarding my marriage is shameful."

Rose continued, "The prince is happily married so there is nowhere for you and your family to fit. If you continue to be this way then others will assume your daughter to be what you spoke of. I do not hate her but I am bothered that you seek to get in the midst of my marriage. Is that what you want?" She asked Faith.

Rose did not want to embarrass Faith but she had to put an end to this. If Faith was supporting her father trying to trouble a marriage so she could marry a man who had no interest in her then she was not a good person as well.

Rose wanted to hear Faith say it here for everyone around to witness her answer. If she said no then it would be foolish for her father to keep bringing up the idea of her being with Zayne. If Faith said yes then she would make herself look like a woman who would happily be a mistress.

Catherine smiled as she watched the exchange. Lewis had dug himself a hole and Rose was going to help bury him. It was known in the palace that Lewis was still trying to get Zayne to be with Faith and for that, something had to be done about his marriage to Rose.

The town didn’t know of this so to hear that Faith was trying to pursue Zayne who was married was not a good look for her. She had to deny wanting to be with Zayne or make a fool of herself.

Catherine found the party to suddenly be entertaining.

"Well I," Faith started but didn’t know how to respond. Her father was the one meant to deal with this, not her. "I did love him but he is now married. I do not want to be with Zayne."

Faith knew that her father would not like her answer but she had to think of herself. Should Zayne leave Rose and Faith have the chance to marry him then the town would not judge her but to openly pursue him when he was married would have her criticised.

It didn’t matter what anyone thought of Rose. Too many women in town thought little of women going after married men since it threatened their marriages.

"So, it is your father who pushes this plan. I am not going to be divorcing the prince ever and he will not welcome anyone into our marriage so your attempts will be for nothing. You must think of your daughter instead of what you want to obtain from my husband," Rose advised Lewis.

Lewis didn’t need to be told what to do by Rose. She was lucky to have Zayne standing close by to protect her but a day would come when she would be alone. The other Hamiltons were protected, not Rose.

"Try something if you are feeling lucky," Zayne encouraged Lewis.

Lewis had that foolish look like he was plotting something for Rose. The day he tried it would be the day Lewis lost his life.

"Father," Faith tugged on her father’s arm. "We should go."

It was embarrassing to be like this in front of the Hamiltons, especially Zayne who looked at her with such hate. Not only was she amongst the few that weren’t married yet but now that town knew they had been planning for her to go after Zayne.

What hurt Faith even more was the look she received from Rose. It seemed like Rose felt sorry for her. Faith did not need any pity from the woman who stole the man she loved.

Faith would move on but she would never be friendly with Rose.

Lewis needed the king to come now to speak since Gage was the one listening to what he proposed. The king was smart and thought about allies. Zayne was thinking about having a pretty woman around.

Lewis cleared his throat. He hadn’t made a fool of himself as anyone might think. Anyone present could take one look at the two women and see that Faith was a better fit for Zayne. Marriages ended early all the time. There was nothing wrong with Faith still holding feelings for the prince.

"You should all be careful that I do not end my support for your family," Lewis threatened. They needed him whether they wanted to admit it or not.

Zayne smiled. He enjoyed seeing when men like Lewis got ahead of themselves. "You are welcome to end it and then I will end your life. Would you prefer to die in your home or the palace you have some obsession with?"

Rose noticed the fear slowly coming over Lewis’s face. How important did he think he was that he found Zayne’s threat surprising?

Rose was able to relax when Faith and her father finally moved from their sight. "Thank goodness. Would they be so kind as to hold the next interruption until after we have danced? We only just arrived and had to face this."

’Well, now you’ve had a good taste of how some parties may go. I think you made a wonderful show that your tongue matches your husband," Catherine said, noticing the change in looks Rose received.
