Rosie Meeting Mister Rufus For The First time

Rosie stopped Aslan from leaving the house. "Where do you want to go?"

"I want to see Master Rufus for a moment."

Aslan left Rosie alone with Mathius. There was an awkwardness that made her feel uncomfortable. Mathius was a friendly person, but the man seemed to have a questioning look on his face.

Perhaps Mathius still didn't understand the reason Aslan brought her here either. In his head, he might still think that she was the real Princess Roseanne Villiers. For someone who had been spying on the palace for a long time, seeing Rosie here would arouse suspicion.

What if she was betraying Aslan? What if she was a tool ordered by Howland to discover their presence? 

Rosie drank the milk from her glass while looking in the other direction so that she wouldn't face Mathius.

"Princess, do you know Hilda?"

Rosie's face immediately brightened when Mathius said the old woman's name.
