Chapter 68
"What’s so special about this box? What do you think Zayne has been doing in secret? I think he’s meeting with a woman," said Finn.
"I do not know and I do not care to guess," Liam replied. He removed the cloak from covering his head. "After what happened to Lucy, none of us should be asking what he does in his free time. He has always wandered around where we travel."
"I know that but it feels different this time. He asked me to pass on a note to the woman he hired as a cook and I opened it. He told her to buy dresses for a small woman. Now, I don’t care about who he meets around with but I am curious if this might be the woman he marries. Think of the trouble," said Finn.
"You mean of his brother wanting him to marry a princess of this land?" Liam asked as they had overheard the plan. "The king will always be upset no matter what decision Zayne makes. Why would he want Zayne to marry a princess when he is afraid of Zayne suddenly having an interest in being king?"
The first prince had fallen sick and passed so the title of king went to the second prince though many wished for Zayne to have that seat. All Zayne had to do to become king was to kill his brother.
"If he picks a woman from this land, all we need to do is protect her from the fire she would be thrown in. Don’t question him about her as he is already in a foul mood or maybe you should so I can take your place. Please, be a fool," Liam suggested, walking ahead of Finn to get to Zayne first.
"I will not fail just to have you rise. Let me hold the box a little," Finn said, pulling on the box to hold it.
Liam kept the box in his hands since he was already carrying it. They both took part in bringing the box here so Zayne should reward the two of them. "Knock on the door," he said when they came to stand before Zayne’s door.
Finn muttered something under his breath and then knocked on the door. "Shouldn’t it be open? It is," he said, pushing the door open. "Zayne, we found a box."
