Chapter 55: Chapter 55

Mathias needed to hit something to let out his anger. How didn't he notice that Alexander had followed him today? If Alexander were to get his hands on Rose and decide to leave this town, many would want to know about the sudden change and then the story about them being slaves would come out.

"What to do?" Mathias wondered, trying to come up with a quick plan. Alexander could not leave the king's army. Their achievements were tied together. If Alexander left, then he might be overlooked and the princess wouldn't call upon him to get his help with Alexander.

Mathias dropped his sword, his hands going to his head to pull on his hair. He groaned, not only from the pain of tugging on his hair but from not knowing what to do. "She's gone. I couldn't find her so he will not."

"Ha," Mathias laughed, confident that Alexander wouldn't find Rose. However, to be certain that wouldn't happen, he had a plan.
