It's been six days since Rose woke up and this so called cousin of hers did not seize to play the role Anna played in her life by being really clingy and sothing it could get really uncomfortable. If he was Anna, she will most likely not feel as uncomfortable as she felt with him but since he was not Rose but a boy she saw so hours after she woke up.
"I am really interested in fashion," he continued as always. "I really want you to take in as your apprentice."
"Go to school," she simply replied him with a slight smile.
"I will go to school definitely but I don't think I will learn what you can teacher in school," he murmured displeased.
She really wanted to send him out of the room with a broom stick but she could not considering the vulnerable state she was in. "Does Leah know that you here again to disturb ?" she asked tiredly.
"She does not need to know but I am sure they will co looking for soon," he said with a bored look as he stared at the door as though waiting for soone to open it anyti soon.
"Sure, they will," Rose agreed.
"I heard your mother was isolated by our family after she married your dad," he suddenly brought that up without warning.
"I don't know what you are talking about after all I was not given birth to when that happened," she replied not liking the feel of the throbbing headache she felt listening to what he had to say.
"Yeah that is right. You are older but I know that," he said proudly boasting.
"Okay, so what? You and I don't know each other. Why are you acting as though you've known all your life?" she asked frowning. Leah warned her earlier that the boy was not as innocent as he seems but he will definitely not hurt her.
"You and I beca best friends from the first mont we t each other. It was glorious. I swear I saw fireworks," he said enjoying the look of disapproval Rose gave him. "Most importantly, blood is thicker than water. We are cousins right?"
"Distant cousins," she corrected him imdiately. "I am adopted so we share no blood relation."
"I don't care. I know you might have forgotten . . . well . . . I know you more than you think I do. Do you believe soone can rember what happened to him when he was three years old?" he asked as he arranged the flowers he asked Leah to get for Rose in a vase.
". . ."
"Well, I rember you. I rember the princess. Your eyes were the most beautiful things I have ever seen growing up without my mother. You were so elegant and nice to . Most people were not nice to while I was growing up but you and your mother, the late queen showed so much kindness to . I have always wished your mother was my step mother.
"I knew you were the princess from the mont I saw you on TV. Your eyes made rember imdiately. They used to be a little bit more greenish than they are now but I still rember them. They were so beautiful. Your mother told my father to bring my brother and I over to the palace because she used to like my late mother so much like a sister.
"I was so little and clueless of how much power she wielded but she beca my hero from that day till today and you beca my angel," he narrated sincerely. By the ti he was done with his narration, he had finished arranging the flowers into the glass vase and added water from a bottle into it.
"Do you expect to take credit for the kindness the late princess showed you?" Rose asked unwilling to accept credit for what she did. She got her mories back but so fragnts were missing. She could rember a few kids she used to see growing up in the palace which were really few and included only the royals and nobles but she could not rember the boy before her. A boy with very blonde hair that looked almost bleached was definitely not in the mories she regained.
"I used to have brown hair but I wanted it to look better I bleached it. I can't believe you think this is my natural hair color. I wish you get well soon because your state is not doing the great fashion designer in you any good," he said shaking his head pitifully.
Rose almost chocked on her saliva listening to what he had to say. Did she just compare him to her sister, Anna? His shalessness was definitely off the chart. "Please leave I need to rest. Please don't co here again because my immune system is not at its best and don't want you to give sothing I don't wish to have," she told him frowning.
"Oh! Really?! I never knew you had a sense of humor. I will definitely reward it with my laughter," he said laughing in a manner she found nerve-wrecking.
Where the hell did Leah find this pest? She wondered what made him think she said that as a joke. "I really need to rest. I am not feeling good."
"Then, I am sorry. I guess it is ti I leave for today," he said now serious. At least he knew when to stop joking. "Should I call the doctor?"
"If I want to do that, I can do it from here," she said glancing at the button close to her bed.
"Oh, right! I will leave now. Who is your favorite writer? I want to get so books for you," he said when he got to the door of her room.
"I don't know. I won't mind any interesting novel. You can get one you have read and you think is good enough."
"A thriller?"
"I won't mind that," she replied and watched him leave after nodding. She wondered when her sister will be free enough to pay her a visit as she stared around the empty large room when he left.
