Chapter 29
"It is kind of you to say but no one gets punished in this town. The town guards ignore everything and it is pointless to speak to the king. I don’t want revenge. I only want a chance to enjoy my life doing things that I want to," said Rose.
Rose didn’t have the time to turn her attention to getting back at Mathias for what he was doing now. She was to focus on getting her freedom. If karma did exist, Rose was leaving it to that for Mathias to regret his actions and for Graham to be treated as he treated others.
Rose didn’t want to ruin herself by stooping low to others’ ways. Too much of her life had gone by in a place she did not want to be to turn around now when she had freedom and focus on Mathias. It wasn’t guaranteed that she would feel satisfied after getting revenge.
"After all of this, you are too kind. I could not let his actions go easily," Zayne pointed out the difference between them. Every living thing in this kingdom would know of Mathias’s awful deed if it were up to Zayne.
While many would not care about what had happened to Rose, they loved to talk and ruin others.
"The market is filled with soldiers. I cannot think of getting revenge on anyone right now. I am worried that you might be caught with me," Rose said, looking down at the floor where she thought she should sit.
Though the soldiers had a description of her it could be a few other women who looked like her so unless Mathias identified her, she wasn’t going to be caught, but she was thinking of not getting Zayne in trouble.
"Do you still care for him?" Zayne asked as he could see her still having room in her heart for the old friend.
"Strangely, I care for the boy I once knew, but I hate the man that I see now. They feel like two people to me," Rose answered honestly.
