Chapter 179: Rival (2)
"I don’t," Rue said, at a loss for words. "I don’t think I should do that. I must return to my father."
"He is joking, Rue. I never spoke about fighting against you. You must remember that the princes can sometimes be a pain to be around. I am starting to reconsider my friendship with both of them," Elijah said, kicking Tyrion’s leg just before he stood up.
"I see. It is still time for me to find my way back to my father’s side. You are getting better," Rue complimented Teo. "But you lose your balance quickly. You are lucky your kingdom now relies on guns."
"That doesn’t sound good. We can’t put a gun in the hands of the future king when he isn’t good at balancing himself. He’ll need to stick to a sword," Tyrion said as he stood up.
"I can use both a sword and a gun perfectly fine. Why are you two in the palace? It is my time with Rue," Teo said, annoyed.
"I thought you needed to be saved from Rue throwing you on the floor. You may leave, Rue. The palace maids will help you to a room to get dressed," said Elijah.
"She is my guest, so I will have my maids and guards escort her to a room. Why are you smiling so much?" Teo asked, suspicious of Tyrion’s smile. His brother was up to something bad.
"I am enjoying myself," Tyrion replied.
Rue thought the men were acting strangely, so she took her spider from Elijah and decided it was time to leave by herself.
