Chapter 55
Mathias needed to hit something to let out his anger. How didn’t he notice that Alexander had followed him today? If Alexander were to get his hands on Rose and decide to leave this town, many would want to know about the sudden change and then the story about them being slaves would come out.
"What to do?" Mathias wondered, trying to come up with a quick plan. Alexander could not leave the king’s army. Their achievements were tied together. If Alexander left, then he might be overlooked and the princess wouldn’t call upon him to get his help with Alexander.
Mathias dropped his sword, his hands going to his head to pull on his hair. He groaned, not only from the pain of tugging on his hair but from not knowing what to do. "She’s gone. I couldn’t find her so he will not."
"Ha," Mathias laughed, confident that Alexander wouldn’t find Rose. However, to be certain that wouldn’t happen, he had a plan.
Mathias picked up his sword. If there was one person who would do anything to keep Alexander busy it was the princess. Their commander was looking for any way to be complimented by the king and the princess would be willing to do that as long as they got Alexander in the palace with her.
Mathias stopped to look at the direction Alexander walked off to most likely cool down. Another day would come when Alexander would thank him for his actions. When would Rose ever be able to help him like this?
Mathias headed toward the commander’s tent, entering without waiting to be called in.
"What the hell are you doing? Who told you to enter?" Richard, the commander asked, pushing away the woman he was showing around his tent.
Mathias ignored the woman trying to get her clothes together. If he wanted to, he could easily get the commander to do him a favour by threatening to tell his wife about the fun he had since he was lonely during their trips, but he wouldn’t since he was looking out for them close to him.
