"I am not afraid of you or what you think you could do with your identity as the princess."
Rose did not dwell any longer in that scene as she walked out of the room but Anna followed her closely behind and reached to grab her wrist.
Instinctively, Rose wanted to attack the person who was bold enough enough to hold her wrist but knowing her sister was behind her, she froze and winced due to the heartless strength Anna put in the grip.
She wriggled her wrist off her hold without looking back. "You should leave me alone to console that new friend of yours," Rose warned her calmly.
Anna flung her wrist in anger before reaching her hand towards her hair which Rose was quick to dodge by moving to the side.
"I really don't want to fight with you, Anna. You are my sister and even if you don't believe it, I am still your cousin, distant or not, we are still family so please stop embarrassing yourself and trying to embarrass me along," Rose told her before continuing forward towards the door of the garden library.
"That is the reason why you should not be ruining my life!!" Anna screamed hysterically.
Rose frowned. More than anyone, her sister is the person she loves most although she has faced so much that should make her hate her and avoid her but no matter what, Anna was still her sister and she will never forget the happy moments they spent together.
The time she spent with Anna – aside from those times she could remember that she spent with her real family while she was young – were mostly the happiest moments of her life.
The two of them had so much pain and they were willing to lean on each other's shoulders and get comfort from it even though she could not share her heart aches with Anna, she still got a lot of support from this sister of hers.
It all started when she met that man, the teacher. Her sister literally lost the calm welcoming appearance she had when she began hanging around that man.
She turned and walked close to her sister. She noticed Anna getting flustered and nervous as she shifted from one side to the other.
Anna took a step back but when she continued approaching Anna, the girl tried hard to remain calm and not move away.
Rose did not stop until she was so close to her sister that a little tilt of her head forward will have her resting her head on her sister's shoulder.
"Anna, I really miss the old you. The you who did not know the bad influence of the man who claims to love you. You should take a good look at him.
"That man is a psychopath. He is affecting your mental health so badly that you have forgotten what it means to think normally. I beg you to sit down one day and try to think normally and you will know that you have no reason to hate me.
"I did not send that video. What good will a princess benefit from destroying the reputation of her sister don't you know that will equally affect her reputation?"
When she was done talking, she stepped back away from Anna happy that Anna was nice enough to listen to her till the very end.
She had many other things to say to this sister of hers but she feared that this girl's patience will run out that she won't be able to complete her statement and end the speech in an awkward cliffhanger or a fight.
Anna glared at her with her beautiful black eyes and bit her lower lips.
"Can I hug you?" Rose asked calmly and hugged her sister without waiting for her to reply. "I love you Anna."
Anna's foot remained fixed on that spot as she stared ahead. She hated the fact that Rose's words left her heart feeling an ache that she has always tried to hide that intensifies when she meets, sees or remembers Rose.
Her chest swelled and relaxed again and again. "Hey, are you okay?" she heard a voice as her after a few seconds.
"Yes, I am okay," Anna replied with a dramatic nod as though she was trying to persuade herself that she was okay.
"It is about time for us to get the to class. Let us hang out as much as we can now before we get separated at the end of this semester."
Debby glanced at Rose before passing by with her hand on Anna's shoulder. Rose looked down at the polished marble floor.
"Princess Rosaline," she heard Noah's voice call her from behind her. She turned to look at the beautiful girl.
"Hello," she told her with a tight smile before walking towards her block.
"You don't look too good. I guess this not the way someone should look after scoring such a hot rich bachelor for her own," Noah said jovially. "So, do you have anything to say to me?"
Rose shook her head slowly as she continued walking down the part. He was not even a bachelor anymore. "Isn't your faculty far from here? Why do you keep showing up here?"
"Yes, it is but not too far for me to come over to hear some interesting gossip of the most beautiful princess in history," Noah told her sincerely.
"Don't flatter me it does not sound sincere coming from you. I also don't have any gossip for you Noah," Rose told her as she hoped the heat she felt on her face was not strong enough to make her almond skin blush due to the compliment.
"Don't bother then, princess. Seeing your face is enough for me. I will go now but we will eat lunch together as usual. There is a party tomorrow do you want to attend it?"
"One thing at a time.. I can't eat lunch with you today, there is something I need to do and I am not allowed to attend parties and trust me, parties are not meant for me," Rose replied calmly.
