Chapter 351: 351. House of Rosenberg

351

"Hello," Mauve said, hoping she was giving her best smile.

"It’s really the princess," she said, stamping her feet with excitement, her oval face moving closer to Mauve for a better look.

"Your name is Mauve," she squealed. "I asked about you. I can’t believe you were married off to a vampire. You look very beautiful and so pale. Is it the lack of sunlight? Even in the night light, I can tell your skin is shades lighter than mine. And your hair... oh my!" She brought her hand to her mouth. "Can I touch it?"

"Rosa Rosenberg!" Galath’s voice called out. "Don’t overwhelm the princess. You can ask your questions after she gets out of the carriage."

Mauve arched her head a little to the side as she took note of the lady’s name. She thought it was very fitting.

"Sir Galath," the older lady said with relief. "Thank goodness you’re here. She is out of control."

The teenager blushed and stepped aside for Galath to open the door. "I am so sorry, I let my excitement get the better of me. It isn’t everyday I get to see the princess, especially one as cool as you."

Mauve smiled softly, she wished she could replicate Rosa’s excitement but she was too tired for that. Now she just wanted to eat and sleep if possible.

"It’s okay, I didn’t mind," she smiled as she took Galath’s outstretched out.

Rosa’s face brightened a little too fast and Mauve instantly regretted her choice of words. She could literally see Rosa brimming with excitement and curiosity. If given the chance, Mauve knew she would talk her head off.

Nonetheless, as tired as she was, she could feel herself working up excitement for this. She couldn’t help, it wasn’t everyday she got this kind of reception. So even if she was tired and sleep deprived, she knew she was going to answer every question Rosa had.

Besides, she had never imagined anyone would look or think of her in this manner. Rosa looked to be in awe of her and it was a strange reaction.

"I am glad, I can get a bit overwhelming sometimes," Rosa chuckled. "Let me know if it’s too much. I know you just got here but I don’t know when I’ll get the chance to see you again and um Welcome to the House of Rosenberg, it is such a pleasure to have you here."

"Thank you for your very warm reception and it is nice to meet you Rosa," Mauve gave Rosa her best smile, she could feel her tired eyes fighting to keep up with her expression.

"Same here," Rosa giggled.

"This way," Galath pointed with his left hand as his right hand led her up the stairs.

"Thank you," Mauve whispered. She could hear Rosa’s loud footsteps behind her back as she rushed after them.

Mauve looked up as the doors were thrown open and who she assumed was the lord of the house was standing behind the open doors with his hands slightly open.

"Father," Rosa cried and rushed past them. She jumped into her father’s arms giggling. She clung to him, refusing to let go.

"Welcome to the House of Rosenberg. I am Aristocrat Finn Rosenberg, Lord of the house."

"It’s a pleasure to meet you," Mauve said with her head and knees bent. "Thank you for letting me stay in your most beautiful abode."

"Ah flattery will take you places, Princess. The pleasure is all mine. I hope you will enjoy your stay here."

"I am sure I will," she smiled.

Finn Rosenberg was a huge man, he was not only tall but he had body mass to go with it. His daughter seemed so small in his clutches.

He didn’t have to come out to meet her but he did anyway. Mauve was glad that she was getting this sort of reception, however, she couldn’t help but think it was not because her father had some task for her.

Rosa whispered something that Mauve couldn’t hear to her father. She ended her words while hiding her face from Mauve.

Finn threw his head back and laughed, "I guess it is safe to say you have met my daughter."

"Yes, I have." Mauve replied. "She is very lovely."

Rosa blushed at Mauve’s compliment and looked away from Mauve with a shy smile as she hid her face on her father’s arm.

"Well, my lovely daughter has requested that I let her show you to your room. We already have servants waiting but for some reason, she wants to do it herself."

"Father!" She cried, she was still clung to him and Finn held his daughter tightly.

"I would be honored," Mauve smiled at her.

"She said yes," he said to Rosa. Turning to Mauve, "If she gets out of hand you can chase her off."

She rushed out of his hands and appeared on Mauve’s side. "This way, please." She said with glee, a little too excited about the self imposed job.

"Thank you," Mauve nodded and followed behind the young girl’s back.

Rosa was quite tall for her age, Mauve doubted she was more than fifteen and that was a stretch. With her giddiness, she was probably around that age or younger even.

Mauve was glad she had not ended up in some stuck up Aristocrat residence, the Rosenberg made her a little too comfortable. She didn’t feel the least bit anxious.

However, now that she thought of it, she wondered it had anything to do with the fact that she had spent every waking hour with vampires for the last six months but she could remember feeling anxious since she switched escorts.

"This is your room," Rosa announced, stopping in front of a door. "I hope you like it. It is right next to my room, I hope you don’t mind. Father said I could pick the room you want to stay in and I picked this one."

Mauve blinked as she was pulled from her thoughts. She realized she had not been paying attention until Rosa spoke.

"I don’t," Mauve replied "And I am sure you picked a great room."

Rosa nodded and pushed on the doors, there was a soft creak as the door gave in to the force applied and opened up. Mauve blinked at the room. This set up was a bit familiar. The bed was a lot smaller than the one she was used to but the room gave off a cozy feeling.

Somehow, it gave the idea that she would get a good night rest here. She chuckled to herself.

She turned to see Rosa peering at her as if waiting for a reply. "It is very nice. I like it."

"I am glad you do," she rushed out, almost jumping in for a hug but managing to hold herself.

Mauve release the breath she was holding. She was glad Rosa had stopped, she doubted she had any strength to hold both their weight. They would fall on this hard floor like a cut down tree.

"Go in, I understand that you need to get some rest and all. I will go to my room now. I will come back to get you for dinner. It will be in a couple of minutes, half an hour or thereabout, I am not really sure. Is that fine, can we go together?" She asked with a hopeful gaze.

"Yes," Mauve returned, smiling at her.

"Thank you," she shook her body, lifting her shoulders as she tried to contain her giddiness.

Mauve couldn’t help but smile. She liked Rosa. The young lad was a breath of fresh air.

"Bye," she cried, waving a little too hard.

She looked like she was rather stay but Mauve appreciated the fact that Tosa was willing to let her get some rest.

"How was the journey?" Galath asked as the door closed.

Mauve shrugged, "Not bad," she replied fighting the urge to rush in the bed.

"You look tired," he added, his voice dropping a little.

"I am," she said.

He tucked her hair behind her ear and then pulled his hand away as if he didn’t realize what he was doing.

He blinked and shook his head, "I will let you get some rest. The servants..."

A knock seized the rest of his words and he turned to the door.

"I supposed they are here," he turned back to look at her. "Let me know if there is anything you need from the carriage."

"Of course, thanks for everything."

"You don’t have to thank for me for every little thing, it’s literally my job."

He walked to the door as he spoke, pulling it open. Two servants stood by the door, bending their head as he appeared.

"I will see you at dinner. Unfortunately, I can’t see you there myself as you already picked someone over me."

Mauve chuckled and waved him out. The servants rushed in, closing the door behind them.
