The Forgotten Prince Chapter 306

Chapter 306: Chapter 306

Rose tried to listen to Catherine speaking to the ladies but she was worried about Paige and the guest she was sending off in the carriage. She knew that it was invite only so they wouldn’t have random won showing up but the guest was here and Paige seed to be close to the young woman. Was it soone who would ruin the day or were they just sticking to the invite-only rule?

Catherine and Paige shouldn’t expect Rose not to be curious. Catherine returned to Rose’s side with a smile but she noticed that Catherine seed very upset by what Paige did, like there was more to Paige bringing soone who wasn’t invited.

’If only Mary was out here to tell

who it was,’ Rose thought.

Having enough of worrying about what was already dealt with, Rose focused on the three won ahead of her who seed equally curious as she was about them.

"Rose, this is Emilia Sinclair. Her husband is also in the king’s army and once was under Zayne’s command," Catherine introduced the first young woman.

Emilia curtsied to greet Rose. "Lady Hamilton. It is a pleasure to et you and I am most grateful for the invite."

Emilia had been surprised when the invitation arrived and first thought it was a mistake that it was sent to her ho. She had a day of panicking about what to wear as one of the first ladies to et Rose. To see that Catherine and Paige were also present made her even more nervous.

"It is also a pleasure to et you, Emilia. How long has it been since your husband was with my husband?" Rose asked.

"Less than a year. He is more involved in protecting the king now. He loved sailing under your husband’s commands but he finds it to be a great honour to be picked to guard the king. It was Prince Zayne’s suggestion that helped him so I am most grateful to your husband," said Emilia.

Her husband added the pressure of making sure that Rose liked her since as easy as it was for Zayne to put her husband in the palace, he could still remove him since the king trusted Zayne’s decisions.

"I see. It is good that he could gain such a position. It must be dangerous," Rose said, noticing how they could bond since Zayne’s work had been dangerous.

"It is but I try to stay positive that he will not be hard. It is an honour for anyone to die protecting a royal but I hope he will always co ho," Emilia replied.

"Luckily, the king doesn’t have any plans of leaving the palace so your husband shouldn’t need to give his life for my son. This is Lady Margaret. She recently wed as did you. Her father is involved in the court and her husband has built a few hos in the town," Catherine introduced the next woman.

Margaret curtsied. Like Emilia, she was also surprised to receive an invitation. Catherine spoke too highly of her father since he didn’t have a high position in the court. One might see him as more of an errand boy for the court despite his age.

Though her husband was growing a reputation for his work in building beautiful hos with the n he worked with, his status didn’t compare to that of Zayne’s so Margaret didn’t have anything to offer Rose.

"You do not need to avoid my gaze," Rose inford Margaret. "Am I scary?" Rose wondered, touching her face.

Margaret panicked, fearing she had offended Rose already. "You are not scary. It is your-" she folded her lips.

Rose laughed, agreeing with Margaret that Zayne was scary. "My husband can be scary if you do not know him well. He is here but he will not be around us today. I made a good choice since he would have scared my guest too much."

Margaret sighed in relief.

Rose tried not to laugh anymore at how Zayne had even the won afraid of him. She hoped he would not show his face since it already had to be hard for these won to be standing next to Catherine.

Rose was used to the kind side of Catherine but other ladies had to be used to sothing else. Not that Catherine would be rude to them but she wasn’t going to be as warm as she was with family.

"This is Lady Julia. Her husband is also in the king’s army. You recently welcod a girl. I must send you a gift," said Catherine.

"I did, Lady Catherine. Thank you for your generosity," Julia said, biting her tongue to stop her excitent. Her mother would not believe who her daughter was getting a gift from.

Rose wanted to hear more about Julia having a daughter but knew they should get seated first. "It is lovely to et all of you. We will be sitting outside in the garden if you do not mind. The day feels good so I thought we should enjoy it before there might be a storm again. I have one more guest inside who will join us shortly."

Rose turned around to lead the way to the garden. It was now passed to her to have the party go well. As much as she was grateful for Catherine coming to aid her if needed, Rose wanted to do this by herself. She was prepared thanks to practising with Krystle for this mont.

Catherine tried to stay at the back of the group so it wouldn’t be mistaken who was the host. She eyed Paige who was now quiet. Catherine did not regret telling Paige that it was ti to grow up. Paige was looking to wed so the things she did before would not pass now even though she was royalty.

"Why are they so happy to look around?" Paige spoke up, surprising her mother.

"How many tis do you recall your brother holding a party like this in his ho? Many are not used to seeing what the estate is like and if they did before, it has changed a little since Rose arrived. I have never seen so many flowers in his ho. Even his wife is a flower," Catherine joked.

"He used to invite the family of his soldiers here for dinner or the soldiers were always here to train. It is surprising the estate still looks good after having so many n here to train. I always thought it would be run down by now. It does look different because of Rose. I’m sorry for bringing Faith," Paige apologised, not wanting her mother to stay angry. "I didn’t know."

"I’m sure you didn’t but you must start to pay attention. The things you say and do may affect others. For a long ti, your brothers have said you speak without thinking. You are their little sister so they go easy on you but others will not though you are a princess. You must grow up now that you are heading to be soone’s wife. I will not always be there to help you," Catherine replied.

"But you are constantly here to help Rose," Paige said, regretting she let this slip.

"Not right now, Paige. I will not have you upset

again today," Catherine said, walking ahead of Rose so she could hear what was being said.
