Chapter 204
Zayne parted from Rose to give her the privacy to get changed. Had he stayed, Zayne knew Rose would not be able to concentrate and if Victor found out, another war would start.
Zayne thought himself unlucky to cross paths with Alexander. How much longer did he need to put up with Alexander tagging along with the Ambroses?
"The princess is dead. You can travel wherever you want without worrying about her following you. Why are you still here?" Zayne asked, awaiting the moment Alexander would vanish.
Alexander stopped to give Zayne the attention he was craving. "You will need to try harder to get rid of me. I am not leaving Rose soon so you should get used to my face."
"I already hate it and unluckily for you, I can get you out of my sight. The only issue would be having to watch Rose cry over someone like you. What are you trying to gain by sticking to her now? Making up for lost time or waiting for your chance? If it is the latter, you should give up," Zayne advised Alexander.
"I’m a soldier who doesn’t know when to give up. You might make a mistake and I will be ready to take her from you then. I will always love her and then the moment you slip up, I will not miss my chance," said Alexander.
Zayne chuckled, more amused than annoyed by Alexander. "I would take your threat more seriously if you didn’t have a special talent for missing your chance with Rose."
Alexander clenched his fist. Zayne had a talent for making those around him want to hit him. "You were right that I was careless searching for her."
"I know that I was right," Zayne replied. He didn’t need to be told he was right since Alexander’s confession did nothing for him. "It took you long enough to see the truth. I would like to be thanked instead of hearing what we already knew."
