Lady Delphine didn't believe Rose's words, but she saw the look in Rose's eyes. The young woman was willing to take the risk. If Delphine were to refuse her, she would put Rose in even more danger. Her chances would be worse without a map.
Lady Delphine folded her arms around herself. She took off the fur coat after she came into her room, she didn't need it in the warm room.
Rose looked at her and she could see the pleading in her eyes. Delphine sighed and unwrapped her arms as she picked up the cutlery once again. "Eat," Lady Delphine said.
Rose nodded her head and tried to take a bite of the cake, only to please Lady Delphine. She couldn't taste it. She tried the muffin—it was similar. She couldn't taste anything.
"I will get you a map after eating," Lady Delphine started to say as Rose ate, "but I truly do think there is a better way to go about this than doing it this way. It's dangerous."
