"Why haven't they told us about his family? This is exciting. Rose might marry a prince," Anna said, excited for Rose. "She might get to live in a palace if she is lucky. Oh, this is so exciting."
Valerie hit Anna's arm to get her to stop talking. "You fool. What prince would marry a woman from a brothel? This doesn't make sense. Are you certain his last name is Hamilton?"
"I am. It is what he was introduced as. What is so wrong about him being a prince? Is Rose in danger?" Anna inquired, confused by her grandmother's reaction.
Valerie didn't respond as she needed to think. She had a bad start with Zayne already. 'A prince wouldn't marry Rose. Anna is more suited. I need those two together.'
Rose had come with something wonderful for Anna. Though Valerie didn't want to send Anna far away, Zayne made a good candidate for a husband.
"You must court him," Valerie informed Anna. "If I had only known."
