Rose didn't tell her father what transpired in the baron's house until after she had made lunch. Her father was already at the house; he might as well eat before he left for work again.
She had assured him it was nothing serious before he let her cook. He wanted to know what had happened immediately, but Rose was worried he might not be able to enjoy lunch if she told him the details beforehand. Her father didn't seem to believe her when she said it was nothing serious, but he didn't press.
After they were done eating, Rose told him what had transpired as best as she could, as well as the contents of the letter the crown prince had sent. Her father couldn't hide his displeasure when he heard the crown prince's orders.
"In a few days, I would have to leave Edenville," Rose whispered, trying to read her father's expression as she ended her explanation.
