Chapter 103
Silence fell upon the room after Zayne’s comment which was directed at James. The princes looked to their father, waiting for him to call out Zayne for what he said.
To everyone’s shock, James laughed. "I wasn’t told you had a funny side to you."
"I didn’t know I had one as well," Zayne replied. He was quite serious but if James took it as a joke then so be it.
"You were the right person for them to send here. Isn’t he funny, Lilian?" James finally acknowledged his wife.
Lilian smiled, nodding her head to agree with James.
Finn sighed in relief, happy that Zayne’s words were not taken seriously.
"Sit down and enjoy some of the finest rum my kingdom has to offer. I sent my servants around to get the best ones for you," James said, pointing at the new bottle.
"Thank you for being so thoughtful but I don’t like to drink in settings like this. We should speak about the truce first and then we can see if there is something worth drinking over," Zayne replied, refusing the drink.
"Right. I thought the truce was already done since you came all the way here. Our kingdoms are both quite large so it would benefit us to be allies. Don’t you agree?" James asked.
