Chapter 198
Quinn let go of the dagger and looked to Zayne. "Are you going to kill me now?"
"Why would I do that when I handed you this opportunity?" Zayne asked, ignoring Kiara’s muffled pleas for help. "I said you are free. Get cleaned up and return to where the others are held. I suggest you don’t speak of this."
Zayne gave her the chance to kill Kiara which he wouldn’t let others know of what happened. He would leave while Quinn remained and she would be in danger if anyone from this land knew she killed the princess.
Zayne turned around to leave since his last problem in the palace was taken care of. It was only the queen he had to get now but with the princes deaths not known to the kingdom, he was luring her out.
Finn followed Zayne. "I shouldn’t have doubted your plans for the maid. It’s still a little surprising she had it in her to kill the princess."
"Wouldn’t you find the strength to do it after someone almost got you killed and why are you here? I told you to go get Rose," Zayne said, stopping to speak to Finn who shouldn’t have been present.
"Right, right. Bring the little lady for you. We can’t have her falling in love with Alexander and out of love with you. We’re in the love season so if you don’t move fast-"
Zayne pulled on Finn’s shirt to bring him closer to hear, "That is why I am sending you to get her. Stop talking and go."
"Yes, yes. I will get your woman, just calm down. Learn how to smile by the time I return with her. Now, can you let go of me?" Finn asked, pointing to where Zayne held him.
Zayne released Finn to let him leave. "Don’t get yourself killed on the way there."
"And have you miss me? I wouldn’t put you through that. I will try to be back by morning with the lady. Try not to behead anyone else by then," Finn said, setting off for Rose.
