Chapter 140 Who Did Rosalie Find? 

**Rosalie’s POV 

The view from the Queens suite was spectacular. People said that the far north was only ruins from the old times, but they didn’t know Cerina had led my people to rebuild it over the years.

Even with everything that the people of the northmy people had been through, they hadnt failed to take care of the palace

Because they truly revered the royal family

They truly revered my family

They truly revered me

I was especially impressed by the garden. There weren’t any flowers or plants as those couldnt easily survive the harsh climate. This was a garden mainly decorated with beautiful stone sculptures

Staring out at the window, I tried to come to grips with what they were asking me to do. I knew I‘d have plenty of help, but I needed to understand how things worked in this land, how Cerina had been running things, what the laws had been before, when my ancestors were the rulers

I needed to make sure that I was able to accept all of those rules and laws myself because I didnt want to be the one enforcing rules that I didnt agree with

A couple of days ago, Cerina took me to a great hall that looked a lot like a library except all of the books looked like they were textbooks or legal journals of some sort. Along one wall was a huge shelf full of cubby holes with scrolls in it

Some of these documents had to be hundreds of years old, if not thousands

When I told her that it would take years to just finish reading them, she showed me a large volume that had been sitting in the middle of a massive oak table and told me that it contained our main laws, the primary rules, and the references to the corresponding detailed rules of our land

I had been studying for a few days

Most of the laws were understandable, but a few of them seemed outdated and unnecessarily harsh. For example, there was one that said a father could punish his daughter by striking her if she spoke out of turn. I thought that seemed archaic. I also wanted to remove some of the regulations about how landowners could punish those who leased their land if they didn‘t pay taxes on time. I agreed there should be penalties, but not physical ones

I made a list of items I wanted to change. It wasnt long, but 

they were all important

Behind me, my baby made a little fussing sound. I put down my books to check on him. I wanted to go talk to Cerina, but I needed to wait for Seraphine to come back first. It all worked out well as I got time to feed him and get him back to sleep

Rosalie, were you looking for me?” Seraphine entered the room, and she walked directly to the crib and gently rocked it when she saw the little one wiggling a little. I smiled. It felt so
