Chapter 300
"You are late. You said you would not be gone long," said Faith Waller.
Faith closed the book she was reading and got up to greet her father. "Did you find anything about the prince and his wife?"
Lewis Waller, Faith’s father, handed his coat to a maid. "I had to be careful. I heard the prince killed some of the court today. I don’t know what for yet since I came home instead of asking around. Things are getting dangerous but I will speak to the king."
"Is there something that can be done at this point? You said that it was certain I would marry Zayne yet he was returned with a wife. It is embarrassing and a slap in the face to our family that they allowed him to marry a stranger. I must wed soon," Faith said since time was going by fast.
Lewis took a seat and snapped his fingers for a drink to be brought to him. "I know you must wed soon. I cannot keep you in my hands for much longer. The prince was the perfect match for you. I thought they would have suggested marriage to keep us loyal to the Hamiltons. Where did this woman come from?"
Faith wished to know as well. Zayne’s return with a wife messed up all her plans.
There were a lot of young ladies who thought they had a chance to marry Zayne waiting for them but Faith was most sure she would be the one to marry him because of her father’s close ties to the palace.
How could the Hamiltons welcome a stranger into their family and more importantly, what was wrong with Zayne for him to get married out of the blue like this?
Lewis noticed Faith’s worry that she might not get married. "What are you frowning for? You are desired by many."
