Chapter 296
Zayne drank and spoke to Gage for nearly an hour then decided it was time to head back to Rose with his mother. He kept looking down at the clothes given to him by Gage which made him look even more like Gage.
Their different behaviour and clothing had always set them apart but now Gage thought they looked more like twins. Zayne couldn’t wait to make it home and get back into his clothes.
"General!"
Hearing Lucy’s voice, Zayne looked around for her and found her walking behind him.
"Why are you doing in the palace? I haven’t decided whose group you would be in yet," Zayne said, looking around for who she came with.
"I am not in anyone’s group yet. As far as anyone is concerned, I am still one of your soldiers. I came here with my father and happened to spot you leaving. I wanted to ask about where I should go from here. I know I disappointed you but I would like another chance," Lucy replied.
Lucy wasn’t ready to give up just yet. Her time helping Zayne couldn’t end like this.
"I believe I gave you a second chance and maybe a third before I sent you home. You didn’t take the time you were on the ship to think or the time that I didn’t send for you to join me on my last outing? Are you still lost on why you were sent home?" Zayne wondered as it seemed Lucy didn’t realise her mistake.
Lucy didn’t think she was given a second chance. "A second chance would be to head out with you again and not get involved in your matters. I don’t have any intention of doing that again. I want to do what I am tasked to do as a soldier."
