Roselia pov.
I held the letter tightly in my hands and walked towards the carriage taking a deep breath.
"Her highness gave the letter. Shall we go now?" I asked, bowing my head, yet afraid that my wig would fall down.
"Sure, go and sit in the servant carriage.'' I nodded and walked towards the carriage. There was a single girl in it who looked at with narrowed eyes. Even her maids were like her.
Once the carriage started I felt a bit relaxed. I wonder how my boring life suddenly turned this exciting! Not a single day is passing without an adventure!
"Your highness, my lady we are here" I heard the guard speaking and we both hurried towards the door. We opened the door on each side and held it. One she walked out she pressed her heels on my feet. I winced but did not say a word. She didn't even apologize, as if nothing had happened. I wonder how many tis she did this.
"Let help you, my lady. You are still not looking fine to ." said Philip as he walked towards her and held her by the waist and wrapped another hand on her shoulders.
Though he was trying to help, it still looked too intimate to . This man was a total flirt. I shook my head as he was trying to have a chance with her. If he was so worried he could have asked or the other girl who was standing there to help Isabella in walking. tsk tsk.. and here he was dreaming of getting married to Marianne!
I looked at the other girl but she was not even looking at them. Why was she not surprised like ? Should I go and ask her!?
"Umm," she looked at with disdain and walked in before I could say anything further. With a sigh I followed the maid who was proud as a peacock.
The palace was in the darker shade. With brown and mahogany as the primary colours and light were too dim giving it a spooky feeling.
"Give the letter and I will go and deliver it." said the knight and I nodded and passed him the letter. He adjusted the letter in the pocket when my eyes fell on another letter that was already there. The red letter with roaring lion and rare gems on it could only symbolise the emperor. But why did Charles write a letter to marquees Wiltshire?!
He took the letter and went away, I continued to look at his direction until he entered a room. but when I turned the maid was gone too and so was both of them. Now where shall I look for them?
"Darn" I cursed and looked around when I spotted a maid.
"Umm, do you know where his royal highness went? He would be very angry if I did not follow him.`` I tried to speak as pitifully as I could.
"Hmph, then you should have paid attention. Take a left from the corner and go inside the first room." said the lady with disdain.
I nodded and followed her instructions. But when i reached there the room was locked. I tried to open it and even knocked once but nothing happened.
I sighed, and decided to look around for the anwhile or better go and check the office of Marquess Wiltshire. If Philip was still there, should he not be with the owner of the palace?
I turned towards the area where the knight had gone and it was easy to find the office since a lot of knights were standing outside of the door.
"What is it?" they asked, looking at .
"I am here to pass a ssage from my lady to my lord." I said bowing my head and they looked at each other.
"We have never seen you here. What is your na and when were you appointed?" They looked at with sharp eyes and I shook my head.
"I did not work for this palace. I work for his royal highness and have co here with him from Marquees Essendson palace. He and my lady are talking with each other, so his royal highness sent here to pass the ssage.
I saw them stifling a laughter when I told them that they both were talking to each other. But they let in.
"Alright, go in. or else if one of them got angry, you would not be able to go back safely." they said as they left the way for .
It ant they knew Philip well, and he had co here in the past too.
I just nodded my head and entered. Marquees Wiltshire was sitting there with a dark face. He was reading the letter from the royal palace and Marianne's letter was already on his desk.
"They both fucking think that i am not a noble but a commoner whom they could say anything anyti. Lucas, what are you doing about Isabella's marriage? Did you fix a eting with that prick" his thunderous voice reverberated in the room.
"My lord, i.." they both stopped talking when they looked at .
"What are you doing here and how did they let you in?" asked the man naming Lucas.
"I. I am here to pass a ssage of Lady Isabella, my lord.`` I replied, bowing my head.
"Since when has she developed so much guts that she can send her ssenger to ? That also after creating such a scene. I guess she didn't want to live anymore." said the father of the girl and for the first ti I felt that Isabella was not that bad.
To say that I was shocked would be an understatent on how a father was talking about his own daughter.
"My lord, it was because his royal highness, sir Philip was with my lady. That was why she could not co here by herself and sent .`` I tried to handle the conversation but the man just laughed like a madman.
