Chapter 289
"Zayne, you can’t kill my court. I’ve already been sending some out of the palace and you’ve somehow heard what they said about Rose. I am putting an end to that. Only a fool or someone who wanted to find an issue with Rose would believe that. It isn’t worth killing anyone over," said Gage.
"I asked you politely to gather them. I am not going to ask a second time. For how many years did I have to put up with the court on my ass and getting in your ear? You don’t need them. They’re just playing with our family, trying to find someone who’ll let them gain power. Get rid of them," Zayne advised Gage.
"I am but violence isn’t the answer here. I will need men to replace them and if they see death-"
"They don’t have to fear death if they enter the palace and do what they are there for. Anyone with other motives should fear death. Whether you gather them or not, I am coming. I don’t completely trust that you have this taken care of. Do you see my wife as a Hamilton?" Zayne asked, curious about what went on in Gage’s head.
"I do. She’s married to you which makes her a Hamilton. Do we need to go through this again? I don’t hate Rose, Zayne. I know you think I am upset that you came home with a woman none of us knew but it isn’t so. I don’t care who you marry as long as you get married. She seems to be good for you," Gage said since Rose looked like she wanted to stab him.
"I don’t know her yet so obviously I don’t look at her like you or Paige but I know that she is family which is why I put out a warning that no one is to speak about her. Honestly, it’s mostly your fault that others won’t see her as a Hamilton. You brought an outsider home. Did you prepare Rose for this?" Gage asked.
From what Gage heard from his mother, Rose didn’t know how to read properly and she was learning how to write. What in this world made Zayne choose to marry Rose aside from her looks? He didn’t need any money from her family.
"Soon from now there will be people travelling from her kingdom to do business or to move here and our people will go there. This talk about outsiders is over with. Rose is family now regardless of where she came from. She will be respected," said Zayne.
Gage palmed his face. "I think no matter what I say you won’t listen. Fine, she’s not an outsider, she’s family. I won’t call her an outsider again. Now, let’s get back to what is important which is that you cannot enter the palace and kill my court. I will have to throw you in the dungeon. Again!"
