Chapter 5

Rosie ran through the garden, her hair up in pigtails with strawberry themed bows. "DA!!" Noah looked over and smiled, holding his hands out. She giggled, wrapping her arms around his neck, snuggling into him. "You're extra affectionate"Noah comments as he walks through the garden, gently patting her back. Of course she was, she needed to be cute enough for him to leave her alone for a while so she could squeeze some information out of Miragen about her mother and how everything had gone down. She kicked her feet, giggling quietly as Lucifer trailed behind them. Him patting her back was making her feel sleepy, even though she took a nap earlier. Her eyes slowly closed, her head dropping down onto his shoulder. Noah rested his head against hers, an arm tightening around the child. He brought his hand up, placing it on the childs head a small glow following.

Rosie opened her eyes, finding herself in the village again, her eyes widening in surprise since she was just in the royal gardens. "Hey, come on!!" Her body turned on its own, finding a woman who looked identical to her standing there with a wide smile on her face. She stared at the woman stunned. This was her mother. Tessia. The woman grabbed her hand, laughing as she pulled her along. Rosie stared at her, realizing that this wasn't a dream but one of her fathers memories. Tessia looked back at her, practically glowing when she beamed and pointed to the fireworks. Rosie smiled, staring at her mother, not surprised to see she shined brightly in her fathers memories like this. Her father really loved her. Her eyes closed and opened again, finding herself laying asleep in Noah's bed.

Noah sat at a table, silently working on something. His head turned and he smiled at her, standing up. "You're awake" Noah greets, walking over and sitting on the edge of the bed beside her. A nod came from her, rubbing her eye with her hand. "I'm working on starting your classes"Noah informs, picking her up. He carried her to the desk, smiling as he pointed to the names on the papers. She blinked in surprise, having forgotten that she'd have to take lessons since she was a princess. Although she wished she could do these later, like maybe after her birthday which would be tomorrow. She'd be six tomorrow. Noah suddenly turned away from the papers, startling her with how quick he had moved. "Sorry"Noah says, setting her down. The door opened suddenly, Rosie perking up in surprise at the guest that stepped into the room. 

Adil perked up when he noticed her and smiled softly, giving her a quick bow of greeting. "Princess Rosie Firenze"Adil greets. She bowed her head, feeling slightly embarrassed. "Crowned Prince Adil!"Rosie greets in return. Noah scooped her up again, his eyes narrowed as he stared the boy down. Roxie walked in after Adil, bowing her head to Noah. "You head back with Roxie, me and Prince Adil have lessons to start with"Noah smiled. She pressed a kiss to his cheek, giggling when he lightly tickled her sides. If her father was going to be busy, that gave her time to find Miragen to get some answers out of him. She waved, hurrying away with her maid. Noah smiled and closed the room door after giving her a swift wave. She looked around, Lucifer joining them and giving her a curious look when she didn't greet him. "Where's Uncle Miragen?" Both her nanny and guard flinched, freezing in place when she looked at them.

"Ah...Prince Noah complained to his highness and....Crowned Prince Miragen is on house arrest, he's been confined to his room and it's why Prince Noah is in charge of Adil's lessons temporarily." Rosie mentally panicked, her eyes wide. Her father complained to her grandfather and now her uncle was in trouble!? This mess must be deeper than she thought. A groan came from her, trying to figure out how to fix it. Her eyes widened, lowering her hands. "Where's his highness, the emperor?"Rosie asks, deciding it was time to claim her grandfathers heart. Roxie took her hand, leading her down the hallway towards where the meeting room was. During her time here, she hadn't met her grandfather yet. Partially she thought it was because her father was protective and the other reason why was because maybe he had troubles with her father as well.

Lucifer opened the doors to the throne room, finding the emperor there with the gathered nobles. Silence followed as all eyes went to her, a few nobles starting to whisper, giving her looks. Rosie stared at them all, feeling nervous about coming here now with all the eyes on her. "Rosie?" Her eyes went to the emperor finding him staring at her with a curious look. He turned in his seat, making a gesture for her to come over to him. She hurried around, her hair swaying behind her as she came closer. Hands placed themselves under her pits and lifted her up, settling her in his lap. "Do you know who I am?" He pointed to himself, watching her closely. Rosie blinked then beamed, her eyes lighting up. "Grandpa Emperor!"Rosie giggled, placing her hands on his cheeks. He blinked in surprise the chuckled, gently placing a hand on her back. "Call me Grandpa Orwen." She beamed and hugged him tightly, giggling.

"Grandpa Orwen is the best!"Rosie beamed, moving back to look up at him. She sat in his lap, her grandfather calling for the maids to bring treats kids would enjoy. Soon the entire table was filled with different kinds of goodies for her to indulge in. The nobles gave each others looks, now holding the papers that had once been on the table. Rosie giggled, holding a small bowl of ice cream, her grandfather gently wiping a bit of melted chocolate off her cheek. "Your highness, we should continue..."A noble says, lifting their hand. Orwen gave the man a sharp look but nodded, continuing the meeting . Rosie stared at some of the papers being passed around. She pointed to something, staring at it. "Uncle Erik said it was fun selling these on the black market and trading them"Rosie says, causing silence to fill the room. Orwen stared down at her then picked her up, sitting her on the edge of the table.

"Tell Grandfather more about this"Orwen says, placing a hand on her shoulder. She blinked, wondering why everyone seemed to be listening so intently now. Did her uncle do something bad? Why did her grandfather seem so serious about what she said. "Uncle Erik said trading those magic items on the black market makes him a lot of money...I remember him always giving things to this masked man that'd come around three times a week"Rosie informs, trying to remember some of the more important details. If everyone seemed this serious then what she has to say must come out correct without a single mistake on her part. "I see, what about the trading"Orwen nods, bringing her down to sit on his lap. "Oh, he says he trades with another noble family! He said he got your permission for this trading between them! He even showed the family the contract you signed!"Rosie responds, still curious about why everyone was so interested.

Orwen's eyes narrowed, looking thoughtful for a moment. He placed a hand on her back, looking down at her once more as he passed her a cupcake. "Rosie, is there anything you want? I will grant you one thing." Surprise filled her, her eyes fixed on her grandfather who seemed to have a proud but relieved glint in his eyes. He'd grant her one thing. She looked down, remembering how her uncle would celebrate her birthday by telling her not even her grandfather would care about her so called special day. "I want Grandfather to come to my birthday party..."Rosie mutters, fiddling with her dress. Orwen leaned down, showing visible concern. "Why would I not, it's tomorrow isn't it?"Orwen asks. She looked at him surprised that he knew that. Her gaze dropped again. "Uncle Erik said you wouldn't care"Rosie mutters.

Orwen stood up, startling her as he held her close. "My granddaughter, you're so small, he must've not fed you." His hand patted her back as he glanced at the nobles, silently dismissing them all from the meeting. He carried her away with one arm, her arms around his neck. "Rosie, you are my granddaughter, if anything or anyone is bothering you come and tell me"Orwen says, looking down at her. She nodded, smiling up at him. Roxie followed the duo with Lucifer following close behind her, the duo glancing at each other seeming to ask a silent question of if Noah is going to be upset about this. Rosie blinked then coughed, her hands flying to her mouth. She lowered them, her eyes wide at the sight of blood staining her palms. Her gaze lifted, finding a look of shock on her grandfathers face. Her eyes closed, feeling her chest tighten as she blacked out.

"ROSIE!!!"
