Chapter 34
"I have not seen him all day."
"That is strange. Is there trouble that I was not alerted about?" Alexander asked as Mathias seemed to have some sort of secret mission.
"There isn’t any that I know of," the soldier answered.
"You may return to your post. As soon as Mathias returns, tell him to come to my tent," said Alexander.
Alexander left the soldier and made his way to his tent. Since they returned to this town, Mathias has been acting strange. He was gone all day with a few guards when they didn’t have any reason to leave the camp.
It was likely that Mathias and others were wasting their time in brothels since it was all Alexander heard some of the men speaking about. However, the last time he saw Mathias, Mathias looked like a nervous wreck.
"Has he found himself in trouble?" Alexander considered.
If Mathias stumbled upon someone who might place him as a former slave it was like Mathias to hide this from him and try to get rid of the problem.
Alexander entered his tent and went straight to a bucket of water to dip his hands in and wet his face. Mathias’s behaviour these days took his focus away from trying to find Rose. Alexander found himself having to be in two places at once as he wanted to search for Rose but also find where Mathias had been sneaking off to.
