Rosa didn't prolong the agony of the two thieves in her room because she found them too annoying, but she also had another reason, she had to hurry and sneak out to see Gideon's head rolling down the ground.
The thought of that mad dog sinking his dirty teeth into Elara had she survived her early death still made Rosa shudder.
Intending to sneak out without being noticed, she took out her leather clothes from beneath the mattress where they were hidden then hurriedly pushed them under the bed when a knock on the door startled her.
"Come in?"
Roxan entered holding a roll of parchment. "The royal palace sent an official word, my lady, I was told that the second princess who heard Lady Elara Highmore was seeking her yesterday would like to visit at noon and expects a reply about your availability."
