Rose ended up needing a balm for her shoulder. Thankfully, one of the maids got her some. Rose wasn't surprised when the maid didn't ask what she needed it for. The balm did help, and by the time she was in the crown prince's bedchambers, she could barely feel the pain in her shoulder.
The crown prince stood a foot away from her. She had waited for him to get ready after he got into the room where she was waiting for him, and as soon as he was done, he dismissed the servants immediately and closed the gap between them in long, quick strides.
Rose didn't anticipate what was happening until he got close enough. She took a step back in shock, but her back came into contact with the wall. She moved her hand to the back, her palm resting against the wall.
"Your Majesty," she said, for lack of what to do.
