Chapter 258: THE ANGRY KING
"Please, thinking thrice about making her your queen."
This time, Rowan stood up, but he still refused to talk to them, instead he walked toward the door and opened it wider.
"I see you are awake," Rowan said with a small smile on his lips, he stretched out his hand to help Zaya stood up.
Meanwhile, Addie immediately stood up and straightened his back when he received a warning look from the king. Why would he squat down with Zaya and eavesdrop too? He didn’t have any explanation for his action...
"I am awake and I can’t find anyone. There is no guard." Zaya tried to act normal, despite how embarrassed she was to be caught eavesdropping.
"This is my quarter, I don’t like anyone to be around, but if you wanted a guard or two to ensure your safety, I will make an exception for that."
Zaya scoffed. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and then tilted her head until she could see the three generals inside the room. All of them had stern look on their faces and they stood up. They looked at Zaya rigidly, knowing she had heard their conversation.
If they were embarrassed for badmouthing her behind her back, they must have concealed it perfectly.
"There is no need. I agreed with you," Zaya said solemnly. "More so, I am more than capable of protecting myself."
