Chapter 113
"Isn’t that comb a little too pretty for you, Zayne? Why don’t you just give it to her instead of pretending like you are buying it for yourself?" Finn asked, pitying Zayne. It had to be torture not being able to spoil the woman you liked especially when you could afford to do so.
Zayne handed the money over to the stall owner and picked up the comb Rose wanted. "You have nice teeth," he said, looking down at Finn.
"Thank you. Wait," Finn covered his mouth.
Unlike many in the army whose teeth were too yellow or rotten for Finn’s liking, he took care of his teeth the best that he could. Finn needed his teeth to stay as they were now since a charming smile was one of the ways to a lady’s heart.
Finn stepped away from Zayne to protect his precious teeth. If Zayne were to knock one out, Finn would never open his mouth again.
Rose was puzzled by Finn acting like he had smelled something horrible or regretted something he said. "Did something happen to Finn?" She asked Zayne.
"No, he’s just a fool. That looks to be where the town guards are. We can take a quick look at their list," Zayne said, hopeful that this would be better than the last.
The town guards building here was more taken care of than the other one but looks could be deceiving. They were not nobles who would make the town guards act more urgently and though Zayne was a prince, he was still from a foreign land so the guards might hesitate to help him.
Rose was optimistic that they would find some clue here. They just had to or she would be back to feeling like this was all pointless.
