The Forgotten Princess Rose

Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Chapter 277"I can offer you advice you may not get from Zayne about hosting a lunch for ladies. I have hosted many parties in my time and they went well.

Forgive me if I show up too much," Catherine said as she knew she would become a bother.

"I do not mind your visits but I cannot say the same for Zayne. When you come around, I feel like my mother is near. If there is ever a time when you are bored or tired of the palace, you should come to us. We can find something fun to do. With Paige as well," Rose said, not wanting the princess to feel excluded.

"That is kind of you. Paige might be a tad bit busy since her

The carriage door was opened by Krystle who returned with the pastries for Rose and Catherine.

Catherine clapped her hands to get the coachman and guards’ attention. "It is time we moved on from here."
