The Forgotten Prince Chapter 244

Chapter 244: Chapter 244

"You said we were not going to the palace," Rose said, puzzled as to why they were arriving at the palace.

"We are not. This is my ho, Rose. How could this be the palace?"

Rose waited for Zayne to laugh. The palace back at ho was larger than what she saw now but still, the ho before her was too large for one person so she could only assu that it was the palace.

Rose gave it another look but still couldn’t find what one person needed with such a large ho. Was it because he was still a prince? Was it that he needed to continue to live as he once did?

"I told you before that sotis my soldiers co here to do training. I was granted the land that you are on now and that behind the estate. It belonged to my grandfather as his escape from the palace and when I declared I was leaving the palace, it was given to . Sothing my brother didn’t like," Zayne explained.

’"He is the king. He has the palace," Rose said, failing to see how anyone could have the palace and still want this. "The soldiers are all with their families. Don’t you feel alone then?"

"Not everyone has a family to return to so I open my doors to those who do not. That will need to change a bit. I cannot have so many strangers walking around while you are here. We’ll need another ho," Zayne said, realising a small issue he hadn’t thought of before. "I will figure it out."

"You shouldn’t stop them from coming if they see this as their ho. It is far too big for the two of us," Rose said, having one final look at the estate.

The carriage was nearing the front doors so she couldn’t see the full view of the estate anymore.

Hearing this left a thought Zayne had to keep to himself. Naturally, one would respond that they should fill the ho with children so they would never be bored and the ho would feel smaller.

When the carriage finally stopped, Zayne helped Rose out as the servants quickly lined up to greet him. Many were puzzled by the arrival of a woman considering Zayne was returning from war so he had no ti to be with a woman.

"Welco ho, Prince Zayne."

Rose was a little intimidated by all the servants bowing as they greeted Zayne. It was dawning on her more than ever just how important her husband was.

"Good to see the estate is still standing. This is Rose Hamilton, my wife. I expect that you will all treat her with the sa kindness you have shown to . I will not tolerate disrespect toward her. Do not forget the na that she holds," Zayne inford the group.

"Welco ho, Lady Hamilton."

"Hello," Rose shyly returned the greeting. She noticed the shock and confusion among the servants.

Rose didn’t think too much of it as she would be the sa way if she were in their shoes.

"I will show you to our room first and then do proper introductions to the butler and head maids. The carriage needs to be unpacked and there should be more coming from the docks. Send word to my mother that I have safely arrived and send away anyone who cos from the palace," Zayne instructed the butler.

Rose held Zayne’s hand, letting him lead the way to their room.

The estate was far larger than the one her parents owned. Rose knew it would require a lot of work to maintain and when Zayne would be away, it would be up to her to keep the estate in order. She had to keep the butler and head maid close to do so.

Rose constantly stopped to look at the paintings on the walls. She didn’t see any paintings of siblings, only of older people who had to be his parents and possibly his grandparents. "You do not have a portrait of your siblings?"

"No. Why must I have so in my ho? Everyone knows what they look like. We will need to have a portrait done of us in our wedding attire and others dressed differently. I will send for a painter a day when you are done settled in. When you are ready, tell ," Zayne encouraged Rose.

There was sothing to enjoy about seeing her looking around what was now their ho. A lot had to change now that he had a wife. First starting with moving where the soldiers stayed and trained along with making it look like a woman was present. His mother would enjoy this.

"After we rest today, we can have our portraits done. I should have made one with my family but it is too late now. I must rember to do one when I return so I can bring it back ho with . We should show my side of the family," Rose said, eager to have one done with Zayne to send to her family.

It was sothing small but would an much to both sides when they missed each other.

After what felt like a long walk, Rose finally entered her bedroom. Again, it was too large for two people but rather than point it out, she decided to enjoy it. There was plenty of room for the two of them here.

To go from a small room to a room like this made Rose have to pinch herself to once again check that she was not dreaming.

"I will have half of my clothes taken out so you can put your dresses, shoes, and whatever you need in the room. You will need more space than I will. I didn’t have ti to give them notice of your arrival so work to make space for you to be comfortable will start from today," he assured Rose.

Rose laughed. What more space could she need? This room alone could be a small ho she could live in without discomfort. "Nothing needs to change for . I am sure I can find sowhere to put my things."

’That is not what I ant. It looks like the ho of a man not married. Once you have a proper tour there will be sothing you want to change to turn it into your ho and you are free to do so. Little things like that do not matter to . As long as I can find my weapons, uniforms, and armour, I am satisfied," said Zayne.

Zayne held her hand as there was sothing she needed to be clear on. "You are the lady of this estate. You are my wife. You may do as you please because this is your ho now. Understood?"

"Yes," Rose nodded her head.
