Chapter 99
Rose couldn’t remember when it became her duty to feed Zayne the scones they had packed up but she did it without any complaints. After a quick meal at the tavern, the group headed out to arrive at their new camp before nightfall.
The town was a lot bigger than the town they had just travelled from with most of the land being governed by nobles. Though they were now in the capital of the kingdom, they were not close to the palace.
Rose overheard from the soldiers that the king was still keeping them an arm’s length away because he was scared. Now, they were staying on the land belonging to a lord but it was close to one of the markets in town.
Rose broke the last scone in half and reached up to place it by Zayne’s mouth. He was cruel to accept each bite, not allowing her to eat the scones as she wanted.
"I am a little scared to eat from you when you hand me food with a glare," Zayne said, but still he leaned down to accept the scone from her hands. He was tired of them but he got to enjoy Rose being jealous of him eating them. "You can have the last bite."
Rose couldn’t be thrilled since Zayne had enjoyed the last three by himself. Next time, she would pay for her scones so she could eat all when she wanted. Rose placed the last piece in her mouth. It was no longer warm but she still enjoyed it.
"Are you pouting?" Zayne asked. Her head was down like she was sulking.
"I am not pouting. I am a little tired and it is getting cold. Why are all the homes so far away from each other?" Rose asked as the space was being wasted.
All the homes in the market had been close to each other even the ones she saw on the ride there with Janice. It was only Zayne’s camp and home that did not have anyone nearby but Rose thought it was because no one wanted to be near an outsider.
