Edna watched Rose smile at her as she held the bouquet to her chest. She could still see the sadness in her eyes even as Rose stared at her with the biggest smile ever. She knew Rose meant every word she said, even if it was the opposite for her—until the crown prince let her go, she would never get married.
Edna knew all about her fiancé, at least enough to know just how sad Rose's situation was, and she wished she could have done something more or helped. She was married now and out of the castle, but none of them knew when that would happen for Rose.
She was surprised she had gone out of her way to come here. Edna knew it must have been hard to convince the crown prince just as it was hard for Rose to witness her wedding when hers had been cut short. She shouldn't have come but Edna was glad she did.
"You don't need to apologize. I made it more difficult for you. I should have told you much sooner. I shouldn't have left without telling you."
