The Forgotten Princess Rose-Chapter 302

Faith lost all hope in Yvonne helping her. It was a surprising turn of events since Yvonne had always pushed for her to be with Zayne. Faith knew that it wasn’t only because Yvonne liked her but due to the queen wanting the king to have one of his allies even closer.

"That’s upsetting," Faith muttered, annoyed that Yvonne changed now that Zayne was married.

Not only was Zayne taken but her relationship with the queen was also now changed. She had to turn to someone else.

"Lady Catherine has been visiting so I can’t go to see her. Where is Paige?" Faith wondered.

Paige always had something to share which made her a good person to get gossip from. Paige couldn’t hold her tongue which was what Faith needed most now.

Faith left in search of the princess. Her father wasn’t going to be here long so she had to move fast.

Faith couldn’t understand why the Hamiltons were so open to an outsider. An outsider from a kingdom they just went to war with. It made no sense which left her thinking there was something more the kingdom wasn’t aware of.

"Did he sleep with her and get her pregnant?" Faith wondered.

It upset her to think that Zayne’s first child would be with someone else.

Zayne was an honourable man in Faith’s eyes but he was still a man. He would want someone to warm his bed and he was kind to take responsibility if there were to be a child. It was the only thing which made sense to Faith now since Zayne wasn’t interested in marriage when he departed.

It would be hard for her if there were to be a child and she ended up married to Zayne. Faith didn’t want to raise a child that did not come from her.

"It would have to die- Oh!" Faith covered her mouth.

Faith looked around to be certain that no one heard her say such an awful thing. It wasn’t like her to ever want to hurt a baby. She just wanted Zayne all to herself.

Faith tried not to cry since she would appear crazy to be crying when no one was around. If her father caught wind of her crying in the palace, he would scold her.

Faith tried to compose herself and then continued to find Paige. She needed to be at Zayne’s side fast so she wouldn’t become a monster.

She was in luck to find Paige strolling the palace halls and she was alone.

"Paige!" Faith called, showing off that she was close to the princess to drop titles.

"Faith, what a surprise. No one told me that you were going to visit the palace," Paige said, excited to see a familiar face. "The palace has been a bore without someone to talk to. The suitors my brother placed to visit have not been exciting."

"Talk of you looking for a husband has travelled far across the town. I am excited for you. I am curious who you will wed," Faith said, reaching to hold Paige’s hands.

Paige frowned since it was another person adding pressure on her on how important her wedding was. It felt like there was a short time given to her to find someone who could take care of her and then get married fast to start a family.

Paige almost wished she could be like Zayne to leave home, find a partner, and return home to surprise everyone. Finding a husband wasn’t as exciting as she believed it before.

"What about you? I have not heard of you getting engaged yet. Is there anyone who has your attention? I thought you would be married by now since you were always so certain about what you wanted," said Paige.

"I am not engaged to anyone. I would be too busy to visit the palace if I were. I am hoping to wed soon to please my father. I do not want to disappoint him. Speaking of marriage, it is surprising that your brother has gotten married. Were you surprised?" Paige asked and then stopped to let Paige speak her mind.

Paige nodded her head. "Of course it was surprising. I always thought I would marry before Zayne would but he surprised all of us. I am the one most annoyed by it since I always teased him that I would marry before he did. I also do not like that I did not get to attend the wedding."

"Why wasn’t there a wedding-"

"Oh no, there was a wedding for her family to see. Her parents would have something lost in their minds if they allowed her to come here without getting married first. We did not attend the wedding but I know my mother would love it if they had a small ceremony here. I doubt it will happen since it is Zayne," Paige said, knowing he wouldn’t like it.

"Wouldn’t his wife want it? I have not seen what she looks like. Is she a lady from that kingdom? One with status. The kingdom doesn’t know anything about her so we are all curious. She must be quite special," said Faith.

"Special indeed. Everything about her is special and shocking. She is not the kind of woman I thought Zayne would settle for at first but after some thought, it is like him to fall in love with someone he saved. Their love story is quite something when you think about it a little more."

Faith wasn’t satisfied with what Paige said. "What do you mean saved her? What did he need to save her from? Is that kingdom that bad that a lady needed to be saved?

Paige tapped her mouth. If Zayne could see her now then he would be very angry with her. "I have said too much. I do not want to get in trouble with Zayne while he is so angry right now. His marriage came as a surprise but they are well suited for each other. We now have to focus on finding someone to wed. I can tell you of the suitors I think would be good for you."

Faith was once again annoyed since she didn’t find anything out. Why was Paige being this way when she was normally so eager to speak?

Faith wanted to leave Paige’s side and return to her father but decided to stay close to Paige since there could be a moment when Paige would slip up and tell her something more.

’What did he save her from?’ Faith wondered. ’What kind of woman did he marry and bring home?’
