Chapter 263: THE ANGRY ZAYA
"You are cursing again."
"I did."
Rowan leaned over and captured her lips with the same mouth that he used to curse, but Zaya didn’t mind it as she reciprocated the kiss. He had been kissing her very often now, in every chance he got, probably because here, there was no Zander or other warriors, who watched his every move.
And just like he said, he could be himself in his own kingdom.
"No," Zaya said, as she pushed him away when he was about to take things too far.
Rowan growled, but he stopped.
"I am not going to be pregnant out of wedlock." But, not only that, her position was not secured until she had the title and got the ceremony. She trusted Rowan wouldn’t play dirty with her, but she had to protect herself too, since it was not only herself that she had to think about. There were five hundred magic users that relied on her in this foreign land.
"This will not get you pregnant, princess," Rowan said, as he put his hand on her stomach and caressed the surface of it with his thumb, teasing her. "I don’t want to bring this topic up when you just arrived, but I think with how everything went so fast, I guess it will be right to go ahead with the ceremony to secure your position."
Rowan could see there would be the problem with Zaya’s origin, but he didn’t expect it would be this fast, since they had not yet arrived for a week and the first trouble had knocked on their door.
With the ceremony and the title, Zaya would have a solid power to make her move and build her own power within the kingdom and this would give the magic users the assurance that they needed that they were not below any knights in this kingdom. It would give them a foot step to stand up for themselves.
And for Zaya, the title of the queen would make her movement easier.
