章 167: Chapter 167

Rose found it hard to watch Zayne leave without her. After spending so much time with Zayne it was strange to see him leave and know that tomorrow she would not see him again. She would only know through news which travelled to the manor if Zayne was well.

Rose crossed her fingers, wishing that there would be a truce. That King James finally thought of his people and used the time Zayne gave him to make a difference. 

It wouldn't be enough for Rose to start seeing him as her father but it would be a start for her to not be disgusted. 

"He left earlier than I thought he would. Your father informed me last night," Madeline said, joining Rose at the bottom of the steps. "I want to say where he is going will be peaceful but you know men. Eventually, it comes to their swords.'
