Chapter 254: REAL INTENTION
"What was that about, Zan?" Zaya asked, she looked at her brother with disapproving look.
Both of them stopped walking as they had put a good distance away from Rowan.
Zander looked at her sister and then sighed deeply. "I don’t want you to get hurt, Zaya. You don’t need to learn the sword fight. That’s not for you."
"You are not the one, who decided that." Zaya was upset, but she was not sure what the reason why she was very upset. She didn’t learn the sword fight for the sake of learning, but to vent out her emotions and even now, Zander still refused to talk about Zenith.
Zaya felt so angry with him, because it felt like he wanted to forget about Zenith, but at the same time, she could understand how it was hard for Zander, which made her angry at herself for being so dramatic and unreasonable. And the circle continued.
"Do you like him?"
Zaya pressed her lips. She didn’t answer that and turned around to walk away. Zander didn’t come after her, which annoyed her. He didn’t want to have a confrontation with her, he chose to avoid it.
And for the next few days, Rowan couldn’t see Zaya anywhere. He came to the training ground at the same time when they used to have their training, but she didn’t come.
Instead, one night, Rowan found king Zander there. He was holding a sword.
"Spar with me," Zander said, as he unsheathed his sword.
"If you wanted it." Rowan withdrew his sword and soon after the two kings fought against each other. The sound of the swords clanking and their quick footsteps filled the open area.
