Rose sat anxiously in her room as she waited for the Crown Prince to call on her. It had been some time since she left his chambers with Thomas, and she still had not heard a single word since then.
She found herself worried that Caius might have been more injured than he let on, and Thomas had noticed it—that was why he had called on Lord Paul.
Thomas had not said much to her as they left the Crown Prince's chambers. He had seemed a little anxious, and Rose couldn't blame him. The Crown Prince had seemed pretty angry.
Rose understood where Thomas was coming from, she also understood that the Crown Prince was annoyed and might intend to punish Thomas. He was just that sort of person. She wondered if she could plead for Thomas. Would the Crown Prince even listen to her?
Rose thought this line of thought was ridiculous. She couldn't even plead her own case. Why did she think she could plead for someone else?
