Rose sensed tension brewing between Gage and Zayne since Paige blurted out Gage's name. Rose didn't know what the king's intentions were for bringing up her past to his sister. Was he hoping for Paige to start trouble or was he simply sharing what he knew? It could be answered if they knew what exactly Paige heard.
'Should I take out something for you to eat? The maids won't come until dinner is ready to be served," Rose spoke softly to Zayne.
The best way to stop an argument from coming was to distract Zayne. Rose had to hope Yvonne was doing the same with Gage. From standing close to the king before, Rose saw that Yvonne had more to be concerned about than she did.
Zayne looked away from his brother to Rose. She was trying her best to keep the dinner in a positive light. "I will pick out for both of us."
"Thank you," Rose replied.
