The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 526

Chapter 526: The unexpected guest

Rose was busy in her private garden in the early hours of the morning minding her flowers.

It was the one thing she was allowed to do that tooo her mind off her misery.

Her life was in absolute chaos.

Her marriage was non existent.

Her status as Queen reduce to barely nothing.

Her health? Still healing from being poisoned.

Her relationship with her daughter and sister deteriorated.

She felt more lonely than ever.

The witch who had told her about Jasmine was still nowhere to be found.

It was like she had vanished into thin air.

Now she knew that Scarlett had died.

How that had happened she had zero idea.

But the thought that Scarlett had had a child.

She felt her gloved hands tremble as she worked on the soil.

She had to find her.

She had to make things right at least.

"Don’t kill your self Rose."

It was Hildegard.

Her personal maid since she was a child and her best friend.

Hildegard stood at the door of the glass garden.

Rose went back to work on the weeds around the flowers.

"I’m just cleaning out weeds." Rose mumbled.

"I know you too well." Hildegard said as she gently walked up to where Rose knelt.

Rose picked up a chrysanthemum that had fallen for the stalk.

"Coral hates me. I can’t even blame her for that." Rose said. "And my sister is literally her mother. What a joke I am."

Hildegard crossed her brows. "Don’t let that get to you. Coral is an adult. A grown woman. She can’t keep on blaming you for the past."

Rose went from kneeling by her plants to sitting on the wet soil in exhaustion.

"I just...." She went quiet. Then she shook her head. "Look at me. I’ve become a shadow of myself. Still feel the effect of the poison."

"Which also isn’t your fault." Hildegard said going low to the ground with her. "Yes you made mistakes. Things could have been better. But you survived. You don’t give yourself any credit."

Rose sighed as she looked down on the crumbled chrysanthemum that remained on her laps.

Hildegard playfully pushed her. "You have something to look forward to. Jasmine is coming soon.

Rose smiled.

"Aren’t you happy that you will get to see her?" Hildegard asked as she sat we with her on the soil.

"I am. Truly." Rose said a smile spread across her face. "She is such a sweet girl. After everything she has gone through. That girl still has so much faith and perseverance. Never quite seen anyone like her."

"Same." Hildegard said leaning against her shoulder.

Rose took in a deep breath. "I’m just worried about the decision they want to make on her behalf. The council would want to punish her for these rumours of her kidnapping. I can’t let Roland handle them, he dislikes her and would give her the death penalty if given the chance to."

"Do you think she was capable of it?" Hildegard asked.

"From what I’ve seen so far? No." Rose said.

"Then there you have it." Hildegard prompted. "Make the decision yourself. You are Queen and it’s in your power to pass judgement over her. Roland might use her as a lamb to the slaughter to appease the angry council."

"I hate politics." Rose said annoyed.

"Don’t we all?" Hildegard rose a brow.

Hildegard looked up and saw some guards gathering at the glass door.

Hildegard got up to her feet. "I’ll be right back. Do give me a few minutes."
