Rose wasn't surprised when the crown prince requested her presence in his room when nightfall came. She was surprised by who brought the message. It was just after she had eaten dinner when a knock lifted her from her bed.
Rose didn't think much of it, as the maids usually came around this time and they tended to wait for her to open the door before they walked in. Rose didn't mind; she preferred it. Other than it being an excuse to move around, it also gave her the chance to prepare to receive them. Not that she was usually doing anything unruly, but it was nice to have the option.
