The Forgotten Princess Rose-Chapter 311

After the garden party, a few weeks went by quickly with Rose further settling into the kingdom and meeting with the friends she made or receiving visitors. She had yet to fully explore the town but Rose did not mind it. She had all her life to see the town but at the moment, she was focused on becoming a mother.

The wait was hard and the fact there was nothing she could do but wait for any signs she might be carrying their first child. Zayne didn’t seem as impatient as she was but she knew he was waiting for it to come.

The announcement of Zayne stepping away from being a general had been made a week ago with it receiving mixed reactions. Most were angry and disappointed to hear that he would step down now when he was leading the army to victories while those close to him understood his reasons.

It wasn’t the best time for Rose to leave the estate since she would either be questioned about or blamed for Zayne’s decision.

So, Rose invited Emilia to the estate since they were both trying their best to become pregnant.

Rose looked to the sky which was beautiful today. She noticed mored of how her garden was changing as well as the land around the estate. It was more apparent that the season had been changing. "It is a beautiful day but it is starting to feel chilly like there will be a lot of rain coming soon. I hope there isn’t another storm coming. Is it often that you get storms?

"It is not. I think the weather is just changing like normal. You must be relieved this time that your husband is at home. I remember all the panicking about his disappearance," said Emilia.

"I am happy to not need to experience it again. The next time he must sail I will be with him to see my family. Many people have been trying to meet with him to have him think over stepping down as a general. I know my arrival is seen as the reason. I don’t think he will be away forever," Rose said, knowing Zayne loved the sea too much to stay home. "He will want to protect the kingdom."

"I am not upset that he has stepped down. They do not know you are trying for a child and even if they did, they would not see it as a reason for him to be with you. I think it is sweet that he wants to be home with you during this time. Without him here there wouldn’t be a way for you to have your first child," Emilia teased Rose.

They were both married so Emilia was open to speaking about things that would make other ladies blush.

"I think a lot about how lucky I am or how lucky you are. I have a cousin whose husband wants a child. She wants to get it over with. The experience is not pleasant. Her husband cannot do his part so she suffers. My only pain lies with my husband’s mother. I wish to have a child as well but she does not go easy on me," Emilia shared.

"Sorry," Emilia apologised for throwing her issues on Rose. "I said too much."

"No, you can tell me and I won’t share it with anyone. If you need someone to rant to then I am always here," Rose offered.

Emilia smiled, grateful that Rose had a kind soul. She didn’t want to tell her struggles to her mother for there to be conflict with her husband’s mother and she had to be careful about which friend she spoke to.

"We are all different so we will not have a baby as quickly as others. I will be happy whenever the time comes and my husband is not in a rush though he has already picked the room but it is those around us who add pressure. I have heard the questions about you," Emilia said, wishing Rose remained strong.

"Which one? The ones that I must already be with child or the others who question why there isn’t an announcement from me yet? I was lucky that Paige’s wedding gave the kingdom something else to speak about for a moment. I don’t pay any attention to what is said. I only know of it because of Krystle and Mary," Rose replied.

"It is because they have not seen you. You were not present at the princess’s wedding which made many think poorly of you. I have been speaking highly of you and so have the others but it is not enough. You will need to make an appearance whether it be a gathering for ladies or something with your husband," Emilia advised Rose.

Rose expected to be judged for not attending Paige’s wedding. She attended everything else that wasn’t in the palace. Paige was understanding of Rose not attending and was happy to see Zayne present. Had the wedding been out of the palace Rose would have attended. There was too much tension in the palace concerning who Zayne should have married.

Weeks had passed yet some ladies and their fathers did not want to give up on Zayne. Rose didn’t make any attempt to voice that Zayne should not hurt anyone. Why were they trying to ruin a marriage?

"I have been invited to attend a party with the Hamiltons. I have not given my response yet. If I want to go then Zayne will attend. It’s been so long since I attended a ball. Perhaps it is time that I make an appearance as you said. It was meant to happen at some point so why not now?" Rose asked.

It might be best to do it before she becomes pregnant. If not, Zayne might go back to chopping off fingers.

"Wonderful!" Emilia clapped her hands. "I cannot wait for you to prove them wrong about you. You are kind and quite lovely with how you treat others. If only you knew who spoke poorly of you so you could see them regret what they said. I am free to help you pick out a dress. I have nothing to do at this time."

Emilia sighed. "I will be bored when you leave to see your family. I have other friends but none understand my position like you do. You must hurry back as soon as you are done with your family."

"I will try to. I have enjoyed your company. I have a feeling that when I return there will be good news to hear from you. I know that it is coming soon for both of us. Trust me," Rose said, feeling positive.

"Then I should prepare to call the doctor. Each time I bleed I cry. If I do not bleed in the next few days then it might be true. I hope it is." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Rose wished that good news would follow her along with Emilia. For now, she had to put these wishes on hold and think about the ball she would attend with Zayne.

The Hamiltons would be present to keep her protected but that wouldn’t stop anyone bold from speaking about her. Her first appearance had the chance of going good or bad. Regardless of how it would go, Rose planned to enjoy a dance with Zayne since they had not shared a dance since their wedding.
