Chapter 130
"What has him in such a good mood?" Liam questioned, confused by Zayne’s demeanour. "I wouldn’t place coming to the palace to make him happy."
"Or is it leaving me in the carriage last night and lying to Rose? It’s obvious that something happened between him and you know who. Maybe a kiss. I don’t think it is anything more since Zayne has been acting like a pathetic fool who doesn’t know- I am shutting up," Finn said, folding his lips after Zayne stopped.
"Trouble," Liam noticed as a soldier was waiting for them. "Just the one? All it took was one festival for the king to decrease the soldiers greeting us?"
"Go ahead," Zayne instructed his group.
Alexander stepped away from the wall, going toward Zayne. He wasn’t used to knowing that Rose found shelter with the outsiders but he had to play nice if he ever wanted to visit her. "How is she?"
"Will your princess not find it suspicious that you are not by her side? What if she were to see the two of us together?" Zayne inquired, looking around for Kiara.
"I ask you how Rose is," Alexander replied, ignoring Zayne’s interest in the princess. "I need to know about her dress and if she needs another. I have money to give her."
Zayne was unimpressed by the small pouch in Alexander’s hand. "I have all the money she will need-"
"I do not care what money you have. It is for Rose to accept or decline," Alexander interjected, pushing the small bag against Zayne’s chest. "Give it to her."
