Chapter 53
Rose laid out the clothes she thought Zayne would like to wear on the bed and then stood near the door to wait for his return.
She looked around his room which was not decorated like the rest of the home. From tomorrow she would have to find a way to bring his room to life. Her bedroom already had flowers she and Janice found growing outside to decorate her room with. Zayne’s room could not continue to look so bland.
Her attention was soon on the large sword propped up on the wall near the door. She was tempted to touch it and lift it to see if it was as heavy as she imagined it to be but feared it might be so heavy that she dropped it.
’Does he wear armour like the others?’ Rose wondered. She had seen some of the king’s special men dressed up in armour. A general like Zayne should have armour as well.
Rose couldn’t ignore it anymore and took small steps to the left to touch Zayne’s sword. He was far taller than her but she worried about him having to lift the sword. Was it heavy at times?
"It is pretty," Rose said, touching the cover that hid the blade. "How was it made?" She wondered.
Just as Rose picked up the sword, the bathroom door swung open revealing Zayne with cloth wrapped around his waist.
Rose panicked as his state surprised her. She hadn’t thought about how he would need to come out dressed like this to get his clothes.
Luck wasn’t on her side as the sword moved, heading for the floor. Rose tried to catch it but it was heavier than she had prepared herself for.
