Duchess Fournier added, "The maid has prepared the guest room on the second floor. You can go there and rest. Your room is ready too, Rose. You can rest for a bit, and I will be waiting for you two on the side terrace for tea and a chat in one hour."
"Ah .. okay. Thank you, Mom." Rose nodded in understanding. She then pulled Rune's hand up to the second floor. "We'll see your room first. After that, we can chat with my mother over tea."
Mr. Rolland entered through the main entrance, pushing two of their suitcases. "I will put the luggage in the room, Miss."
"Thank you, Mr. Rolland."
"The room for Rune is the one at the end of the hall on the second floor, on the right side," said Duchess Fournier. "You can put the suitcase over there, Mr. Rolland."
"Yes, Your Highness, "said Mr. Rolland respectfully.
Rose and Rune then walked hand in hand up the white marble staircase at the end of the enormous living room.
