Chapter 291
"Why do you look so nervous? You said that Zayne was coming to the palace after breakfast. This is something to celebrate so why are you acting like you have something to hide? Did you bother him again?" Yvonne asked, suspicious of Gage’s behaviour. "I swear if you go back to troubling him."
"That’s not it. What do you think my brother will do now that he knows some of the men in the court were trying to place the blame on Rose? Do you think I will have a full court still standing after his visit?" Gage asked.
Yvonne wasn’t expecting Zayne to know about that already. "Oh. That is bad. He must be in a foul mood already and then to hear that is not good. Well, I don’t mind if he kills a few of the annoying bastards who try to split this family. I am all for it."
"Since when are you someone who entertains violence?" Gage asked, surprised by her response.
"I have always been but I kept it to myself. It is sweet to see that he is protective of Rose. It shows how much he loves her. With everything she endured it comes as no surprise that he is willing to kill anyone who seeks to ruin her quiet life. Support him," Yvonne encouraged Gage.
"I will. You should know that he no longer wants to be a general. He’s young and already he wants to retire. The stories of his victories are told over the seas yet he wants to quit when there is more glory for him to have. More battles to have to his name. What?" Gage asked, puzzled by the look Yvonne gave him.
"Why are you so confused? Your brother has found something more important than going out to risk his life. Maybe after some time with her, he might reconsider taking his position as general again. Give him some time. He must be thinking of what he might put her through if there is a day he never returns," Yvonne explained.
"I see why everyone looks to you as the voice of reason," Gage muttered.
"I just use my senses. I cannot let the money my parents spent on tutors go to waste. Your mother is coming," Yvonne noticed.
