Chapter 98
"They look to be a lovely couple and their business is doing well," Rose noticed. "They are in a good spot for anyone travelling into town and they welcomed you without any judgement."
"That is because we are here to spend money not to fight. Most won’t care that we were once considered the enemy as long as we spend enough money. As soon as the horses are fed, we will move on. I would like to get to the next camp by sundown," said Zayne.
Rose would love that as well so she wouldn’t have to wash up in cold water again. She was a little too spoiled the last few days when she worked with Janice. Now she missed the warm water she got to use to her liking.
"Thank you for asking those questions. It didn’t cross my mind to ask about who I resembled. I was more focused on correcting that I am not a lady. I will do better next time," Rose promised.
"It is fine. We can still have a look at that family when we get into town and we can go to the town guards to look at their lists of missing people. Hopefully, it is better than the last town’s list," Zayne said, not realising his mistake.

Part of Rose believed that Zayne killed Graham because he also hated Graham. Now it was more clear that he did it because he cared. Why else would he go out of his way to do this?
"Why didn’t you tell me before now?" Rose asked.
"I wanted to check that there was good news first. The town guards there do not care for the people in that town. The list isn’t organised and there isn’t much time put into searching for people like you."
