Chapter 293
"My king!" Virgil cried out. "This is not a matter that needs violence. Many have questioned the prince’s choice of a wife. He has done everything wrong with his wife and as your court, we must question his decision. What does he want to hide so much?"
"I don’t have anything to hide but I don’t have to tell you about my wife or my life. I am married, which is all everyone in this kingdom needs to know. I’m sure you came back here with a grand scheme to tell the kingdom about her coming from a brothel. Who else have you told?" Zayne asked, pointing his sword at Hugh.
Hugh looked to Gage for help. He was always one of Gage’s supporters from the moment it was announced Gage would be the next king. Zayne was going to be Gage’s downfall and it was frustrating that the king was not seeing it.
"I have not told anyone but even if I did, it is spreading through her home and I am only speaking of what I heard. You should find the one who spread it-"
"They are already dead," Zayne interjected.
Zayne hoped Mathias was suffering in the afterlife for having brought up Rose’s past when he didn’t need to. For someone who wanted to hide his past, Mathias was a little bit too mouthy which was why Zayne couldn’t resist removing his tongue.
Hugh didn’t know the person behind the rumour was dead. It only showed that it was more than a rumour since Zayne went out of his way to kill this person. "Killing me isn’t going to stop it from getting around. It is already out there. You should have thought twice about marrying a whore."
Gage covered his face with his hand. Why would Hugh be so stupid to say that now when Zayne had a sword in his hand and his intention was obvious?
Gage knew Hugh to be one of his supporters. One of the men who thought it was best for him to get rid of Zayne as Zayne would eventually challenge his spot on the throne.
