Chapter 114
Connor wanted to cover her mouth with his hand but didn’t because the foreigner acted as her guard. She shouldn’t be saying this now when the king was already upset by it and the captain of the guards had warned them to point out anyone who spoke about slaves.
"I think that there might be something wrong with you. You’ve come to the right place as we have a doctor nearby who can help you. Follow me," Connor said, walking around his table to lead the way.
There were too many watching and listening to what was said for him to warn Rose to be careful of what she spoke about and to be mindful of who she walked around with. The king wasn’t going to let anyone ruin the truce happening. People like them were easy to dispose of.
Rose touched Zayne’s hand to stop him from responding. She was disappointed that they were left with nothing but she noticed the fear in the guard’s face and how the other guard close by tensed up when she mentioned slaves. Something was happening that the kingdom was not aware of.
"I have been feeling a little unwell. Maybe the doctor could help me," Rose agreed.
Connor wanted to hug her for giving him and being so willing to go with him. Unfortunately, he would be questioned on the matter as his peers could hear what was said.
Connor led the two outside toward the doctor. Only when they were away from the guards outside did he speak. "You shouldn’t speak of slaves and missing people now. Especially when you are walking with foreigners. It might be taken back to the king that you are the one ruining what he has planned and then you will never find your family."
Connor took a risk to warn her as he couldn’t help but feel bad for the common people they could not help these days. They were to focus on the nobles and those close to the king these days.
"Isn’t the capital meant to be better at solving matters like someone going missing?" Zayne asked.
