The Forgotten Prince Chapter 221

Chapter 221: Chapter 221

"You shouldn’t keep anyone’s blood on you for so long. It is dirty," Rose said, setting aside his shirt.

She could confirm now that Zayne wasn’t injured and it had been Mathias’s blood but Rose did not like knowing Mathias’s blood was on Zayne. It was as if the blood being there would taint Zayne. Change him from the man she loved.

"Is there a clean shirt here you can change into? Also, a small bowl and cloth for

to clean your hands with," Rose said, personally wanting to get rid of the blood. "I am grateful for the things you do for ."

"Is there a but coming?" Zayne asked, hoping Alexander had not gotten inside her head.

"No," Rose shook her head. "He doesn’t know what it is like to be in my shoes. There isn’t anyone trying to kill him. The dangers around

aren’t so simple and I know they will not pass by talking."

She continued, "I truly do not mind if Alexander wants to be close to Mathias. They had each other for eight years and I would not make him pick. Is it so wrong that I do not want to be around Alexander if Mathias is in his life?"

Rose would be understanding if Alexander didn’t want to be in her life because of Zayne. He could never ask that she get rid of Zayne so Rose wouldn’t ask him to end his friendship with Mathias.

"It is not. He’s very stubborn and focuses on what he wants instead of looking at others involved. I worried about Mathias approaching him first. Alexander might have unknowingly made a way for Mathias to get to you. I can’t trust imbeciles by you when I am not around," said Zayne.

There was no doubt in his mind that Alexander would hesitate to lay his sword on Mathias if Mathias had approached him while he was with Rose.

"I don’t want my friendship with Alexander to end but I need him to listen to . I have my mind," Rose said, disliking how Alexander thought it was Zayne putting words in her mouth.

Rose knew she was not the smartest person around but she could think and make decisions by herself. "It is going to be awkward to return and see him. Part of

is angry with him still but another part wants

to move on."

Rose was placed in a position she didn’t like. "You shouldn’t have invited him here to see Mathias but I wouldn’t have liked lying to him. I don’t know where to go from here. How do I make him see ? I am asking the wrong person."

"There isn’t sothing you can do to show you’ve changed. Everyone changes over ti and it is noticed by others. I have seen a change in you from the ti I t you until now. You haven’t seen him for eight years. It is foolish to think he would co back and you would be the sa," Zayne replied.

"Make no mistake, Rose. I want you to have many friends whether they be n or won. I will be jealous if there are n but I want your circle to grow and I will not get in the way of it. I am not hard on Alexander simply because I am jealous but because I see him as a fool," Zayne explained before Rose thought he was trying to ruin her friendship with Alexander.

Had Alexander been a sensible person, Zayne wouldn’t have ddled. Alexander gave Zayne too much of a feeling that he would not protect Rose well.

Would Alexander guard Rose better if she was her lover? Was that what was holding Alexander back? Even if they weren’t lovers, Alexander should be at the forefront to protect Rose with how much he spoke of loving and wanting to make up for lost ti.

"I didn’t think you would go so low to ruin our friendship since I have already told you that you are the only man I think about. n are complicated," Rose concluded.

Zayne smiled as this was a first. He always heard it was the other way around but he could agree that n were complicated at tis.

"I am in the middle of you two-"

"You are not in the middle of it. It is only

and you. He’s more like a fly trying to place itself where it doesn’t belong. Don’t think of him anymore. Think of healing ," Zayne said, no longer interested in speaking of Alexander.

Rose did another look over Zayne’s appearance and did not find a cut. "You were not injured. What am I to heal?"

Zayne placed Rose’s hand on his bare chest. "Here. Heal

here."

"You, you worried

for nothing. I can’t heal you there. No one can," Rose replied, but she kept her hand there. "When will you question the queen? She had been hiding sowhere good since it took so long."

"The queen will be back in the palace by night. My soldiers have already pushed to bring her out of her father’s ho. I will question her about you and who else was involved in it," said Zayne.

"I want to be there even if I have to go to the palace. I want to see her and be near when you question her. I am not afraid of facing her," Rose said, not wanting to miss the chance to see the person who might be responsible for ruining her life.

Rose had never seen the queen get a good look at the woman who hated her mother. Rose was curious if Madeline would love to speak to the queen. If Lilian was behind the kidnapping, Madeline might have sothing to say.

For all the lives Lilian had taken over jealousy and anger that her husband had affairs which led to illegitimate heirs, Lilian had lost her children. She would know how it felt to lose the people you love.

Rose didn’t fully like that the princes and princess had to die for Lilian to regret her actions but it was the only way for Lilian to feel what others did.

"I will think about it. Allow

to speak to her first and then I will decide if you should et her. Willow wants to et Lilian to ask about her mother and the siblings who she assus are dead. I will send a group to escort you to the palace but you should speak to your mother," Zayne said as Madeline might not be all for Rose going to the palace.

Rose knew that. She wouldn’t keep what she wanted to do from her mother. "I will. After that, are you done? Liam told

the others from your kingdom will soon arrive. Then, we must start preparing to go to your ho?"

"We can if you are ready to go but there is sothing I owe your father. He wants a small wedding here since we are engaged. That is the only way he can let go of your hand," said Zayne.

Zayne didn’t mind it as he was ready to marry Rose at any ti. They could always have a second wedding to Rose’s liking in the future.

"I do not mind it,’ Rose shyly replied. Her parents needed to be present at the ti she married Zayne. She didn’t have many friends to invite to have a big wedding. "We can do it before we leave."
