The Forgotten Prince Chapter 242

Chapter 242: Chapter 242

Soti later, Rose woke in the middle of the night after she heard yelling coming from up top of the ship. They had been sailing for a little over three days which Rose knew from keeping track of the nights. They were soon to reach Zayne’s ho and Rose couldn’t be more grateful.

While the night skies were beautiful, Rose couldn’t take any more of the ship swaying so much and looking down at the water made her want to throw up. She couldn’t understand how fishern or even everyone else on the ship could put up with this feeling that ca upon her after three days.

Zayne was sound asleep like they were on land in the comfort of their ho. The rocking was not getting to him and Rose wondered how many tis he had been on a ship to be so used to this.

Rose could at least proudly say that she developed a talent for not spilling her food when the sea beca rough and everything started to fall on the floor. It was scary how the calm sea could turn to scary in the blink of an eye.

Rose faced Zayne as he slept not knowing that she was wide awake. Normally, it was Rose waking up to Zayne already tidying the room, bringing her food or looking at his map to give an idea of how much longer they had before they reached land.

She stayed as still as she could to not disturb his slumber since Zayne was constantly on the move around the ship and when he wasn’t, he found her to spend a bit of ti with her.

The sea had its good monts for their relationship but Rose wanted to be on land soon. She wanted to see where Zayne had grown up and what their new ho was like.

She was ready to make him proud as his wife.

Rose eventually drifted back to sleep to help with ti move faster.

Hours later, Rose was awoken by Zayne to get dressed as the land was ahead of them.

"You look beautiful, Rose. There is no need to change this dress since we won’t be having any guests today. I am taking you straight ho for you to get settled in and if we are lucky, news about our wedding will not spread today," said Zayne.

"You are worried about what the king will say?"

"No, my mother. She wasn’t invited to my wedding. It is not like we had ti to invite her but still, she will focus on the fact that she was not present. For the next few days, I will say that we are too busy to et with anyone. I will write a report and send it to my brother," Zayne said, seeing this as the best way to avoid his mother.

"I do not know her but I am sure it will not do any good to avoid her when she finds out that we are married. We should tell her first to be respectful. I do not want to be off on the wrong start with your mother. I now realise that you have never told

her na. Or the nas of your siblings," Rose said, feeling terrible for not knowing.

How could she marry into the Hamiltons but not know anything about them?

"Her na is Catherine Hamilton and as for my siblings, you can pretend they do not exist. Aren’t you tired of siblings?" Zayne asked, hopeful that she was.

"No," Rose shook her head. "I look forward to learning about your siblings. I will find a good book or soone to tell

about your history. You not being interested in your siblings does not an I have to be the sa way. Invite your mother over at the first chance we can."

"My mother might co with my sister and unlike Anna, my sister doesn’t know when to stop talking. She talks so much that she says the wrong thing and doesn’t realise her mistake. She’s thinking about getting married so she has that sa foolish talk," said Zayne.

Rose touched Zayne’s face. "That is not enough to scare . You should enjoy the ti you get to be with your family. Since we have packed up all that we used during the trip, I am going out to get my first look at ho. You should join

when you are done sulking."

Rose tiptoed to kiss Zayne and proceeded to join the others to see what they were cheering for. Had their families co out to see them?

Rose heard Zayne walking behind her but she paid him no attention as she was focused on getting her first look at the kingdom.

"Excuse ," Rose said, trying to make her way through the excited soldiers who were celebrating.

Rose looked onward at the land they were quickly approaching. There were more ships at the dock as the others who set off before their ship were already tying their ships to the posts and getting off to find their loved ones.

Rose found her way to the side of the ship and looked over at the crowd of people greeting them. It had to be exciting to welco the soldiers ho after a successful voyage.

She picked up on the difference between here and where she spent her life before. As they got closer to the docks, Rose was able to hear the crowd clearly and the way they spoke was slightly different. The blue eyes she saw amongst the soldiers were more present but many shared her eye colour and what she was used to seeing.

Rose backed away from the edge when the attention turned to her as she was clearly a stranger on the ship. Soone who hadn’t been present when the ships left. She could guess that no one would expect her to be the wife of their general.

’To keep a secret so his mother knows first, should I walk ahead of him?’ Rose thought but quickly realised this wouldn’t matter since they would get on the sa carriage to go to Zayne’s ho.

With this crowd present, it was going to be known right away that Zayne returned with a woman. Unless they announce their wedding here, it wouldn’t be known if she was his woman or a captive he brought back.

"Why are you standing here in deep thought?" Zayne asked, wrapping his arms around Rose to embrace her. He didn’t mind all the stares. "Are you plotting a way to get off this ship without being seen with ?"

"Please get out of my head," Rose muttered. Their union couldn’t be hidden for now when Zayne was openly affectionate.
