The Forgotten Prince Chapter 137

Chapter 137: Chapter 137

"I will have everyone you need arrive tomorrow so you can fill your room. Dresses, shoes, furniture and what else you will need. The relatives will be told tomorrow but I will make sure they do not arrive until you are ready," said Madeline.

Rose nodded her head. She stared at the mirror at the sight of her mother brushing her hair. Though Rose liked her earlier appearance she enjoyed getting dressed by her mother.

"Tell

about yourself, Rose. What do you like?" Madeline asked, her hand trembling slightly as it was still surreal she was currently taking care of her daughter.

"I like learning new things and exploring. There is much to see and I want to see all of it. I want to learn how to dance. I went to the festival recently and did not know how to. Though I want to learn, I don’t think I am comfortable yet to dance in front of a crowd," Rose revealed, trying to think of what else she liked.

"I like to stare at the sky at night when I cannot sleep. I am not comfortable with everyone touching . Just those that I trust. I like any kind of food. I don’t know what else now," Rose said, stuck on what else she liked.

"That is fine. You can tell

more as it cos to your head. What I like is-"

"Mother," the doors opened, revealing Anna Ambrose. "Is it true what they are saying? It is true," she realised, looking at the young woman seated before her mother.

Anna couldn’t believe there was soone who looked a lot like her mother. Soone who looked more like her mother than she did. "I cannot believe that I have a sister again."

"She is back ho now so co, get to know your sister. She has travelled from far to return ho," Madeline said, happy as her two girls were together.

Anna slowly approached the two. Where did this sister suddenly co from? She rembered having a sister in the past but she had gone so long without one. It was strange to see her sister back when everyone was so convinced that she was dead.

’Is this a ghost?’ Anna panicked. Had they all suddenly turned crazy?

"Why are you just standing there, Anna? You can ask what you want and Rose, you should do the sa. She is your younger sister. You two must spend so ti together. You were quite close in the past, always taking care of Anna and sneaking her the snacks she wanted," said Madeline.

"I do not rember those monts," Anna said, cautiously approaching the two again. "Welco ho Rosaline."

"I also do not rember. If you do not mind, could you please refer to

as Rose? I do not have my mories of being Rosaline yet," Rose said, excited as she had a sister.

Rose was an older sister. It was strange yet exciting. It ant that she had soone to take care of. A sibling had to be much better than a friend.

Anna frowned, confused by how Rose knew to co here when she did not have any mories. "How is it that you do not have any mories? Mother, have you used my new dress? Mother?" Anna whined. It was made specifically for a party and now she had nothing to wear.

"I had to, Anna. Your sister needs a lot of things and the dressmaker can only co to asure her today. It will be kind of you to share. Please," Madeline pleaded. She did not want to hear of how a dress could not be shared.

Anna didn’t like it but she knew not to say anything to make her mother upset now. She rembered how her mother was in the past over her missing sister. No one wanted that again. Anna didn’t want that again.

"Okay," Anna replied. "Where have you been all this ti, Rose? They have been looking so much that they forgot about

at tis."

"Anna," Madeline said in a scolding tone. "Not right now."

"It is fine," Rose smiled. She knew her sister would have questions like everyone else. "I was taken to a place where people are sold as slaves and ended up in a brothel-"

"A brothel?!" Anna exclaid, shocked by this. "A brothel like where n go to," she couldn’t finish it. "Mother, please tell

that you are not going to tell anyone of her being there. It will ruin all that I have planned this season if you do. My friends would mock ."

"Then they are not good friends and I do not want you around them again. This is not about you," Madeline reminded her daughter.

Rose bit her lip, saddened by Anna’s reaction and concern about her reputation but it was a normal reaction. "I didn’t have any custors."

Anna did not care about her sister not having any custors. Just knowing where she had been over the years was enough for everyone to start talking about this, her friends making foolish jokes, and the n she had planned to court distracted about this.

"For Rose’s sake, you shouldn’t tell anyone, mother," said Anna. It was best for the two of them that this remained a secret.

Anna didn’t know what to make of Rose since she had never seen a woman from a brothel. She had only heard the tales of what happened there and found it to be disgusting. How did Rose live there but not have a single custor?

Anna didn’t know anything about the brothel other than what won did there for n and what Rose said sounded like a lie. "Was it awful there?" She asked, wanting so answers. Her parents would never allow her to go near one.

"It is awful. It is not a place you should ever visit. The one I lived at should be done with now. I hope," Rose said now realising she had not gotten any news about it.

Had one of Graham’s relatives taken over or was it done for good now? Had anyone found Graham’s body and had any suspicions about who killed him?

"That is enough about brothels for now," Madeline said, her heart aching each ti Rose spoke about it. She didn’t care if Rose was lying or telling the truth about not having any custors; this was her daughter and nothing would steer her away from Rose. "I will not tell anyone where you have been to protect you."

Madeline had to think of protecting Rose from those who would judge her harshly despite the fact Rose was a victim. Rose could still have a normal life in the future. To live a peaceful life and get married at so point like all the other young won.

Anna sighed in relief. She would have to co up with another story to tell her friends to shut them up about this. She stared at Rose, not knowing what else to say. It was weird to suddenly have a sister again.

Anna was grateful when she heard a knock on the door. "I will get it for you, mother. It must be father bringing the necklace I lost in the carriage."

’You have lost another?" Madeline questioned, her hands going to her hips. "Anna, I have warned you to be more careful."

"Father found it so, oh," Anna gasped, taken aback by the handso man at the door. "Who are you?"
