Chapter 257: THE FIRST PROBLEM
"I will get you some medicine," Rowan said, as he put her down on the bed and tucked her in. Zaya curled her body and hugged her blanket. She still had her eyes closed when she nodded.
After that, Rowan left to get her medicine and something to eat, but Zaya couldn’t eat anything. She only managed to get two spoonful of rice before she stopped. She was going to throw up if she forced herself to eat more than that.
Rowan stayed with her until she fell asleep and then left to his bedroom next door, where Addie had been waiting for him.
"If you are going to complain, get out," Rowan said, he had to read a few reports that he had postponed for long. He had been away for longer than he expected, hence it was only natural that he had a lot of things to be done.
"I am not going to complain, I only wanted to remind you that our people have never seen a magic user and for you to have her as your queen will create a ripple within our people." Addie then added. "Your enemy will love to rile people up with this issue."
"As far as I remembered, you were the one, who encouraged me to pursue her."
"Yes, but... I meant.... not something as serious as this..." Addie scratched his head. "I only thought you would love to have some fun with her, but not actually take her as your queen." He shook his head. "This is way too far from what I expected."
"You have to raise your expectation."
Addie pressed his lips. "Are you serious about... her? I meant... you really do like her?"
Rowan lifted his head and looked at him for a while without saying anything. "She is a powerful magic user," he finally said.
"You are going to use her ability."
