Journey to Rose's place

Rose glanced at him with a hint of curiosity and said, "Your grace, what made you decide to join me today?"

Julian chuckled softly. "I don't know, Rose," he replied. "I just felt like it, no specific reason. Sometimes, it's nice to break from routine."

Raphael chuckled and said, "Yes, even nobles need to blend in with commoners every now and then!" Julian and Rose joined in the laughter, their smiles brightening the morning air.

Julian's expression softened as he looked at Rose. "What happened to your mother?" he asked gently. 

Rose's smile faded as she glanced down for a moment, her voice quiet. "She passed away protecting us," she replied.

Julian nodded, a solemn look in his eyes. "She must be proud, seeing how hard you work," he said, his voice filled with genuine admiration. "Your strength is a reflection of her sacrifice."
