Aslan left Rosie's room. He convinced himself that this was for the best. He also assigned two additional knights to guard near the door of the princess's room and also near the balcony of the room.
Roseanne Villiers was a very unpredictable person. He could not guess what the girl would do after this, so Aslan took a precaution step before the girl ran away.
He returned to his room. The lights were off, and he sat on his bed with his head empty.
"This is for the best," Aslan muttered again.
Aslan really wanted to get a bottle of liquor now, but his common sense forbade it. Howland and a prince would arrive at his castle tomorrow, so Aslan should stay sober.
He tried to find another way with the cigarette, but he remembered that Rosie didn't like the taste of the cigarette when they kissed. So he put down his cigarette again and took a deep breath.
