Chapter 220
Alexander released Rose’s hand. Rose’s disinterest in what he wanted to say became apparent to him now. He had crossed a line and it was likely they would not be as close as before if he continued to plead with her to let Mathias go.
"I’m sorry," Alexander apologised once again. "I shouldn’t have asked this of you. It was thoughtless of me to do it. I see why he brought you and Mathias here for me to see. I am not going to ever make the decisions like he will for you."
Alexander could never be so quick to raise his sword to kill anyone without thinking it over twice. He was used to carrying out orders for the king and outside of that, he hadn’t killed anyone for personal reasons.
"It might be time that I leave and find my path. We are too different for us to stay near each other and you’ve already found your person. I don’t like your choice," Alexander said, looking at Zayne once again.
It wasn’t a good feeling knowing Zayne had won and proved his point. Alexander knew he could be angry all he wanted but that wouldn’t change Zayne had outsmarted him.
Alexander would never feel that Zayne was the right man for Rose but Rose would not listen to him. From their talk now, if he said too much then Rose would just push him further away.
Alexander peered at the way he came from where Mathias was sitting waiting to be freed. He had a feeling that Zayne had not captured Mathias just to let him go because it was what Alexander wanted. "I will return to the Ambrose mansion ahead of you."
It pained Alexander to turn away, leaving Mathias to suffer alone. He had tried his best to get Rose to free Mathias but she was too far gone.
’She’s the victim,’ Alexander thought, changing his view on the matter.
