Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 130 - Valerie And Anna's Visit.

"Here is the books you asked for," Carl said placing the books he brought on the coffee table in front of Rose.

"Thanks," she said as she began going through the books. "I have a friend who is a writer. She writes really amazing stories. She won an award for young writers a year ago." Rose remembered the novel Debby wrote which was very different from what the life of girl like her will be in reality. "What do you think about a villianess? Should everyone who gets hurt become a villian?"

"You don't call them villians," Carl corrected her understanding what she was saying.

"Then what do you call them?"

"Heros. If you were hurt and you decide to protect yourself from ever getting hurt even if it means eliminating your enemies, that simply makes you a hero. You become a hero. Those people who hurt you are the villians," Carl replied sincerely.

Rose let the words he said sink into her heart like a drop water on a dry soil. "I guess you are right," she agreed after pondering on his words for a few minutes. If she kills the Queen, she was only a hero and not a villian for doing that.

"My father killed my mother and tried to kill me when his son got injured. I want to revenge in a very brutal way. Do you want vengeance too?" Carl asked.

Rode was shocked by the question asked. She wondered what made him ask that question because she never told him of the injustice she suffered.

"Don't be surprised. I am only a good mind reader or perhaps you can't mask your thoughts. You have a good backer why don't you use your backer well to your advantage?" Carl asked picking one of the books he brought for her.

"Backer?"

"Mr Hale."

"I don't have a sponsor or a benefactor," she denied and looked away.

"Do you want to take a walk in the garden?" he asked after a while giving up on the argument. He knew she did not want to appear happy about being under Mr. Hale's protection.

"Garden? No, I don't want to leave this building till I can go back home," she replied seriously. After what happened a few days ago, she felt more scared than ever before. How did those armed men enter the hospital building so freely? It made her feel threatened.

"We are going together and we don't necessary have to leave the building to go to the garden. There is a garden on the sixth floor," he said to make her curious.

"I don't care," she replied although she really became curious of what the garden looked like.

"I don't think I can force you to go with me but I think going out will do you more good than sitting here all day," he said sincerely. "I also know you don't trust me but I promise to stand by your side," he said with a small smile before standing up.

She shook her head and began reading the novel she held.

Anna and Valerie came to visit her soon later despite their very busy schedules. "Its not very boring right?" Anna asked sad about the fact that her mother made her return to school despite how much she wanted to stay with Rose.

"No our cousin comes around frequently. He brought these novels for me to read," she replied truthfully.

Leah have been really busy lately that they could not spend much time together and Carl was the only human she was willing to talk to. Liam offended her and almost traumatized her with the little show he made to prove he was powerful enough to help her get the throne and she felt it was best to avoid him for a while.

That might be a little childish but she refused to talk to him since that day. She had Leah wheel her out of the room almost immediately and she refused all his visits.

"I guess you have made a new friend. I saw him weeks ago and I did not like him," Anna said with a frown. She really did not like the boy. He seemed very gentle and innocent like someone she knows but she knew none of those appearances were real. He definitely had more thoughts hidden in his heart than he was willing to show.

"I don't have the luxury to choose who I want to talk to in my situation," Rose said with a sad smile. She knew that was a lie since she purposely locked Liam out.

"His mother was a very nice woman. I knew her well before she died. Then, my family had a very strong bond," Valerie finally spoke after a while with a sad smile as she remembered those old happy days.

Valerie's two adopted daughters looked at her surprised that she actually brought up a discussion of her family. They were not very close especially Rose and Valerie and this was the first time the two girls had Valerie talk about her family.

They made no comment and waited for her to continue. "I know the boy. He has a twin brother," Valerie continued.

Rose felt the urged to correct what Valerie just said when she remembered Carl told her that his so called twin brother was his step brother but that was none of her business. It was not a task for her to carry out. When Carl gets what's rightfully his, she won't need to say it before the world knows the truth.

"Double of that? I wonder how bad that will be," Anna said and scoffed in disbelief.

"Carl is fun to be with and I don't think his twin brother is like him. They don't even look alike," Rose immediately supported her new friend.

"I see that you two have become really close. How did you two meet?" Anna asked curiously.

"He got lost on this floor and somehow found himself in my room," Rose replied. That was the obvious lie Carl told her when she asked what he wanted in her room.

"Did you really believe that? I don't seem to like most of your friends," Anna complained.

"He is bored in the hospital and so am I. I guess that's why we became friends," Rose said truthfully.
