Rose shared her story with Willow and Willow did the same. They found that they were both continuing to learn to read and write but Willow was ahead of Rose as she had been taught over years. It was just enough if James or Lilian wanted to marry her off.
"I am happy it is you that he loves. I was happy for the woman he spoke about but I am happier it is you. The others will be happy to know there is another one of us. We've lost so many over the years and now it is only us," said Willow.
Rose was curious about how many siblings there were but did not want to bring up awful memories for Willow. "I have another sister named Anna. She wouldn't like to be sitting on the grass here but she knows how to have fun and will care for you."
Rose continued, "Anna has always been interested in the palace so in the future, if you need someone to speak to, you can call upon her. She is quite popular among her peers so with Anna by your side, you should make more friends."
