章 220: Chapter 220

Alexander released Rose's hand. Rose's disinterest in what he wanted to say became apparent to him now. He had crossed a line and it was likely they would not be as close as before if he continued to plead with her to let Mathias go.

"I'm sorry," Alexander apologised once again. "I shouldn't have asked this of you. It was thoughtless of me to do it. I see why he brought you and Mathias here for me to see. I am not going to ever make the decisions like he will for you." 

Alexander could never be so quick to raise his sword to kill anyone without thinking it over twice. He was used to carrying out orders for the king and outside of that, he hadn't killed anyone for personal reasons.

"It might be time that I leave and find my path. We are too different for us to stay near each other and you've already found your person. I don't like your choice," Alexander said, looking at Zayne once again.
