Rosemary lifted her gaze and said with a polite nod, "Your Highness, if you desire it, I will do my best to make it happen."
Though it wasn’t her area of expertise, she was willing to give it a try.
"That’s wonderful." Princess Leah replied with a charming smile, "I’ll have someone draft a list for you to work from. Let’s exchange contact information. Is Queen Abby the name you go by?"
"My name is Rosemary Collins."
"What a lovely name. I know someone with the last name Collins that I’m quite fond of."
But she was aware that in Solterra, there were many with the surname Collins. Rosemary was surprised that the princess would share such a personal secret with her. She smiled gently and said, "That
person is very fortunate to have caught the eye of someone like you, Your Highness."
The princess smiled again, looking both graceful and beautiful. As Rosemary finished her sketch, the two had grown more familiar with each other, and the princess happily linked arms with her, saying, "Let’s take a walk outside."
As the door opened, the female bodyguard saw the princess holding Rosemary’s arm so affectionately and immediately said, "Your Highness."
She wanted to say it was unbecoming of her status, and if seen, it could tarnish the royal family’s image.
"From this moment on, she is my dear friend, and there’s no need for you to follow," the princess led Rosemary out into the garden.
The seven or eight female bodyguards could only watch from a distance, never taking their eyes off the princess for even a second.
"Rosemary, this is the place. Every time I look upon this scene, it stirs so many emotions in me. Could you design a few outfits for me with a winter theme in mind?"
Gazing at the snowy landscape before her, which indeed looked stunning, Rosemary felt new ideas spark to life in her mind, especially with the princess’s striking beauty as inspiration.
Suddenly, several objects fell from above. Rosemary instinctively pulled the princess to her side and kicked the objects away.
They were chunks of snow that had fallen from the buildings and trees. A lot of female bodyguards rushed over, concerned that the princess might be startled or upset, apologizing profusely.
Sometimes the heat from inside a building would cause the snow to fall, or when the trees became overburdened with snow, it was natural for it to drop. But the fact that it had almost fallen on the princess was their oversight and responsibility.
"It’s alright."
The princess hadn’t expected Rosemary to have such quick reflexes. The way Rosemary had reacted was a clear sign she had some training.
"You’re very quick," the princess said with a smile. Had it not been for Rosemary, the snow would have fallen right on her head.
"It’s cold out here, Your Highness. Perhaps it’s best if you head back inside," Rosemary knew the cadre of bodyguards were anxious, fearing more snow might fall.
"Rosemary, why don’t you stay for lunch?" The princess extended a formal invitation.
Rosemary guessed it had been a long while since anyone had joined the princess for a midday meal.
"I have other matters to attend to, but I promise to come back another time to join you, Your Highness."
Princess Leah seemed a bit disappointed but did not press further. She escorted Rosemary herself to the castle gates.
Numerous bodyguards closely guarded her, and a contingent of security guards followed. Once outside the castle, they were even more vigilant, not daring to let down their guard for a moment.
After bidding farewell, Rosemary got into her car and drove away from the castle, slowly disappearing into the distance.
Upon returning to her hotel, Rosemary designed some other styles for different occasions, inspired by the winter scenery. After finishing the designs, she sent them all to the princess to review.
