123 The Raven

"Why, is there something wrong?"

Rose's eyes are wide from astonishment and wonder with the town that captured her attention. I see nothing suspicious at how her eyes sparkle, which only means that she's best at what she does. 

What amazes me most is that I tried to persuade her into becoming the heir to the throne, but she refuses. She could have been refusing to keep her identity here subtle while Dazia makes a move. 

However, when I tested her by telling her about my mother's goal. She looked sincere, and she knew about Rosetta's past. Rose looked as if she was concerned with the consequences of revealing her. What more, she was afraid of what would become of me. 

Part of me wants to believe that Calice could have taken the wrong information, or Festus would have made up all the excuses to disburden me off my daughter. But the concrete evidence is hard to look away from, and I'll be meeting with Ranir to find out the truth.
