The Forgotten Prince Chapter 225

Chapter 225: Chapter 225

"I’m sorry mother. I brought you here just to say nothing to her," Rose apologised.

This was all to go differently in her head.

Madeline held Rose’s hand. "I don’t regret coming. I’ve been afraid of getting near the palace for too long and now I’ve seen that the dangers from the past are no longer present. I have no other reason to visit again but I don’t have to hide anymore. You’ve done sothing good for ."

Madeline felt at ease now that she had seen for herself that the palace was no longer the sa with Jas now dead and Lilian without any power. She didn’t need to worry about Rose being seen by either one now and she didn’t need to hold Anna back from getting near the palace.

"I never thought I would co back. They would have to drag

back here. It’s still the sa," Madeline said, inspecting the walls as she walked with Rose. "I feel stuck in my past when I first arrived here."

"As terrible as it was, I would do it all again," Madeline confessed.

Rose didn’t understand it since her mother had suffered here. ’Why?"

"To have you. I would do it all over again to have you and then I t Victor here. I wouldn’t have you, Victor and Anna if I didn’t co here. I can’t be without you," said Madeline. She didn’t want to think about what her life would be without her family.

"I am grateful," Rose said, leaning her head on her mother’s shoulder.

It took a great deal of love to experience sothing twice just to have the ones you love around you.

"Anna will be a little upset that we have co here without her. You told

of wanting to have dinner with your siblings. Maybe then you could bring her for them to et. You can have all your siblings in one place and get to know them," Madeline suggested.

"I will ask Willow if Anna can join us," Rose said, finding it to be a good gift for Anna. "The others are coming. The ones from his land."

"So I have heard. I have also heard from Victor that you have agreed to marry Zayne before you leave. If it felt forced on you-"

"It was not," Rose interjected. "I already said yes to Zayne before father requested we marry. I did not think the wedding would co so soon before I saw his land but I do not mind it."

"Are you worried about what will be said by the people of his kingdom? By his family? You are not going there known as a princess of this kingdom. A daughter of a lord might be enough to help you have so respect," Madeline said, starting to worry about Rose going there.

If it were possible, Madeline would travel there to help Rose settle in. It was hard to let your child go so far but she had to. She couldn’t hold Rose back from going with the man she loved.

"I am not worried about it. Truly," Rose added since her mother didn’t seem to believe it. "Zayne has told

that I only need to worry about his love for . I am certain he would protect

and if I wasn’t certain I would stay here with you where I feel safe."

Rose continued, "I know many will be surprised their prince will be coming ho with a woman they do not know. A woman from a kingdom that just fell but I don’t want to think about it. Focusing on the bad has made

miss out on the good before . I just want to think of my life with Zayne."

Madeline knew at so point this would change but she was proud of Rose. Her little girl was going to a woman who could protect herself.

Rose stopped walking when her mother looked away. "Are you crying mother? I didn’t an to make you cry."

"You didn’t have to try. It is quite easy for

to cry. I am thinking about when we will need to say goodbye. I need to start gathering what you will need and add so more lessons for you. There is much to do," Madeline said, wiping her eyes as now was not to be shedding tears. "Then there is the wedding."

"It is to be small," said Rose.

"It is your wedding, Rose. It may be small but grand. It will be sothing you rember for a long ti. Small doesn’t an it cannot be properly planned. Oh, leave it to ," Madeline said, already imagining what Rose would love. "I will include you in all the planning but I will do the tireso work."

Rose nodded her head. She didn’t know the first part of planning for a wedding other than having the man you intended to marry. "Thank you. Zayne and I greatly appreciate it. You don’t need to be sad. We will see each other soon and I will write to you. If Zayne must go out to war again, I will ask to spend my days here until he returns."

"It might be too much travel for you. I want to see your face once in a while but don’t push yourself too much. Your father and I can make the trip to see you. Victor owns a ship but I have never stepped foot on it. I would love to see outside of this kingdom," said Madeline.

"Then I will prepare well for the day you visit us. Willow," Rose waved to her sister. "Are you on your way to see Zayne again?"

"I am. Lady Ambrose," Willow greeted Madeline with a curtsy.

"You mustn’t do it all the ti and it is

who should properly greet the future queen of this land. You are Rose’s sister so you are family in my eyes. If there is sothing you need help with do not hesitate to call upon ," Madeline offered.

"Thank you, Lady- Thank you," Willow corrected herself. "I will need a lot of help. I have been asking around the maids who will speak and they spoke highly of you. If you are on my side then maybe the other won in this kingdom will give

a chance. I will be with you soon but I must go now."

Willow didn’t want to waste a second not seeing Lilian. She had waited too long for this mont to co. To get revenge on the woman who made her life hell.

"We will wait for you when you are done. Please excuse us," Madeline said, curtsying.

Willow left the two with a plan in mind for Lilian. She tried not to beco a monster with revenge but seeing how Lilian didn’t have a drop of remorse, Willow couldn’t be kind.
