Chapter 122
"Move your sword," Zayne instructed Alexander.
"She is innocent," Alexander argued, refusing to let someone who meant no harm die. Quinn was only listening to Kiara’s order and Zayne should be smart enough to know it. "Put down your sword and enjoy the festival. We will look into what happened."
"This is a little bit too much," Kiara said, touching Alexander’s hand. "My father wouldn’t like hearing about this. Quinn, did you do something when you left my side?"
"I did, princess," Quinn confessed.
"Then, it is only fair that you are punished for it. Where is Rose? Let me apologise to her for the actions of my maid. Quinn acted without my order. I shall see to it that she is properly punished," Kiara said, pushing Alexander’s sword away to stop the fight.
While Kiara was enjoying the mess she created, she couldn’t have Zayne involved in a fight. Not on the night her father wanted the festival to go well.
Zayne lowered his sword, once more unimpressed with Rose’s choice of a friend. This would have never happened had Alexander been more careful when he approached Rose. Rose didn’t need this now or at any point in the future.
"No need to apologise. It wouldn’t be genuine," Zayne said, turning around to leave as he got what he came for.
Alexander put away his sword. He didn’t like how it was so easy for Quinn to almost die. Kiara’s laughter upset him as this was her doing.
