Edward always explained things in a gentle manner, taking others feelings into consideration. “Want to continue playing?”

Of comme let’s keep going”

Rose ethniastically replied and Edward sering her return to her usual state, returned to his seat and picked up the cards agath to play another round

Once again, Edward won this round To avoid touching on anything that might make Rose upset, he carefully thought of a question and settled on something related to her childhood. “What’s the thing you regret the most from your childhood?” Before she even answered the question Rose burst into laughter Her laughter had a mix of silliness and excitement. Just a moment ages, she was in a gloomy mood, and now she seemed almost manic

Seeing her reaction, Edward couldn’t help but smile as well, amused by how he struggled to keep up with her rhythm and

Laughing heartily. Kose regained her composure, but her lips were still twitching with a smile. With one hand supporting the corner of her mouth to maintain her calm, she said, “Hahaha. You can’t laugh if I tell you.”

Edward quipped. “But you’re laughing at yourself”

“Alright, I’ll start,” she said with a composed smile

Rose continued to chuckle for a whule, then straightened up and sad seriously. “The thing I regret the most from my childhood is not being able to pee while standing up like my brother

Edward went speechles

He was caught off guard and did not know how to respond But fortunately, the question he came up with hit the right mark, making Rose very happy

Seeing Edwards utterly confused expression, Rose knew he didn’t believe her. So, she said, I’m telling you the truth. Both my brother and Iweren’t those kinds of high–society kids from Athana, you know, those who don’t let their ten fingers touch sunlight.”

Rose continued to explain why she had this peculiar thought. “Grace and William were always busy. When we were kids, my brother was the one who played with me. We always had a lot of bodyguards around us. My brother had a habit. When he needed to pee. he would find a random place, and I would keep watch for him. But when I needed to go, we had to look for a restroom. So, my brother was annoyed by my restroom issues.

That was why Rose wanted to be able to pee standing up, so she wouldn’t have to look for restrooms.

Edward thought, “Is this something I should know? Did Frank pee anywhere and everywhere?*

In the end. Edward couldn’t hold back his laughter. He laughed out loud. Rose saw him laughing but didn’t stop him.
