The Forgotten Princess Rose-Chapter 330

"Mother, this is Krystle. She has been by my side since I stepped foot on the estate. It is thanks to her that I am learning so much about the town and she helps with all that I need," Rose said, introducing Krystle to Madeline.

’Welcome," Madeline hugged Krystle.

Krystle was surprised by the lady hugging her at first but then she remembered that this was Rose’s mother. Kindness seemed to run in the family. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Lady Ambrose. Thank you for the dinner invitation."

"You have to thank Rose for that. I must give you something for looking after Rose while she is away from us. You will have your hands full in the future and I hope it does not make you think of running away. She will need you now more than ever," said Madeline.

"I do not intend to leave the lady. She has taken care of me well and I enjoy working for her. I shall stay by her side," Krystle promised.

Krystle was curious if Rose was able to confirm if she would be having a baby and if this was what her mother meant by having her hands full. There would be much to celebrate once it came out that Zayne was expecting his first child. If the child were to be a boy then there would be even more celebrations as well as some who might worry about the crown prince.

"Wonderful! Please enjoy your time in our home. I need to check with the butler," Madeline said and then left the pair.

"Forgive me if I overstepped but did you find out?" Krystle asked.

"We did. We called for a doctor and he confirmed it. Everyone is treating me like I might break though I am still small. I worry about how they will be when I grow. I’m sorry to have you bring your things here after you already settled into your room at Zayne’s home. My mother wants us to stay here so I thought it was only fair to bring you," Rose said, apologetic for all the work Krystle did.

"It is fine, Milady. I had not opened my bags yet since I was busy taking a look around. I only took out some of your dresses to hang them up but it wasn’t a lot of work. I am happy to be here so I can care for you. I am a bit nervous," Krystle confessed, worried about being near a pregnant woman with a status like Rose’s.

"Not you too, Krystle. You were going to be the one person who would not worry. Tonight for dinner you are not here as my maid but as a guest to celebrate with us. I promise to give you plenty of time to explore. Tomorrow we will be taking a walk through the town so you will have time to wander off to get what you need," said Rose.

"That is generous but I must remain by your side. I am not familiar with the land so I do not want to wander off. Would you like something to drink?" Krystle asked, not knowing where the kitchen was but she would find it to get what Rose needed.

Rose touched Krystle’s hand. "You are not to serve me tonight. Every day at this hour, you do not need to serve me. I will need your help at times but not all day. You may find your seat at the table. My husband is already near to help me."

Krystle didn’t know how to just sit. She always got time off when at home but this felt different.

"I’m sure you will get used to it. Excuse me," Rose said, leaving Krystle’s side for now. She had other guests to greet.

"Rose!" Janice greeted Rose with a hug. "I thought it might be far longer before I got to see you again."

Janice often had to bite her tongue since Rose and Zayne became far more than what she thought would have happened with Zayne courting Rose. Never in her wildest dreams would she have placed them together for this long.

"Charlotte will not be able to join us today but she sent dresses and hopes you will visit the shop. With Zayne," Janice added since it was known that Zayne was the one who spent money. "I have made a dress for you as well," she said, showing Rose a pink dress on the pile of dresses in her hands.

"You have succeeded with your dreams," Rose replied, remembering how Janice told her in the past of wanting to make dresses.

"Yes. I am lucky that Charlotte looked beyond my age and spoke to her mother about hiring me. I might still take up work to clean a home if days are slow but so far it is going well for me. It is all thanks to you bringing me here. I have a few more dresses I would like to make for you if you would give me the chance," said Janice.

Of all the customers Janice received these days none of them were as special as Rose. Rose was near and dear to her heart from the very beginning and knowing why Rose was the way she was when they first met, Janice wanted to take care of her even more.

"I look forward to hearing of your travels. First, I need to find somewhere to place your dresses before your guests see them," Janice said, looking for somewhere to rest them.

"I will help you put them away," Krystle offered.

"She is my maid. It will help her calm her mind so please help her find a room to put them in. Why does it seem like the two of you were arguing again?" Rose questioned, looking at the door where Finn and Mary entered. ’I think you should leave Mary alone, Finn. The two of you might not be a match."

"Might? I have made it very clear that we are not suited for each other. If you send for him and he does not arrive then I have killed him. I have given him enough warning for him to keep his head but it appears that he wishes to lose it. Please save me, Rose,’ Mary pleaded.

She did not want to spill blood in the Ambrose’s home but Finn was pushing her to do it.

Rose took Mary’s hand to walk with her. "You will be seated to the left of me. I have much to tell you. Finn, I suggest that you find Zayne to speak to him. I do not want to see you killed."
