Breakfast ended on a pretty quiet note. The Princess was the first to leave the table. Rose was not only surprised that she stayed till she finished her meal, but not once did Caira say anything about her presence.
She had arrived in the King's arms, he had openly addressed her as his queen and his wife, and did nothing.
Rose tried to imagine what she would do if the situation were reversed, and she knew she wouldn't just sit there pretending it wasn't happening right in her face. Even when the Queen tried to get a reaction out of Caira, the princess didn't once acknowledge.
Rose tried to watch Caira and Rylen simultaneously as they sat directly across from each other, but Caira didn't even glance at him once. She wondered what the princess was thinking.
