Chapter 271

"Rose, don't bother yourself with those two. I don't," said Catherine.

Rose looked away from the entrance of the dining room where she was anticipating seeing Zayne come back in one piece. "It is not only their talk I am worried about. How is the dinner? There isn't any music."

"It is perfect. We are so used to the extravagant dinners in the palace that this is a nice change. What you have done feels like being at a normal family home with all of us not having too many responsibilities. I don't know how the others feel but I am pleased," Catherine assured Rose. 

For the first attempt, Catherine had to applaud Rose for a job well done. 

Catherine continued, "This family would do good with more simplicity. The rest of the kingdom even."

"Thank you. I was most worried about what you would think of the dinner. I am trying hard to impress you to make up for what I lack," Rose confessed.
