"Your aunts and cousins should be here already. You didn't get to meet your cousins last night so this is your chance now but first, we must find a nice spot to stand so we can look around," Madeline informed Rose.
"Do they stop to look each time?" Rose asked, not used to the countless stares.
"Your return is big news but they also pay close attention to the nobles. Anna is of age to wed so there have been many watching to see what she does and who approaches her. They will lose interest and turn to someone else soon," Madeline promised.
Madeline noticed the attention was already on Zayne. He could not hide that he was a stranger to these lands because of his eyes. Zayne had a rare aura to him that commanded all the attention in the room and placed it on him.
Though he had not announced himself as a prince, the way he presented himself gave away that he had a good upbringing in a good home.
