The Forgotten Prince Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Chapter 279

"What do you an you can’t get any word of where they are now? They should be close to the docks right now for their families to see them so please tell

that I didn’t hear you wrong. What did you say about my brother?" Gage asked, his back turned to the n who brought him the news. "Tell

that you didn’t lose my brother."

"We didn’t lose your brother but we have not received word of where they could be right now. The weather is too bad for a carrier bird to bring a ssage ho and no one has spotted them coming in. It is hard to look out-"

"That is why I told you fools to send a ship out to help them find their way ho. Will you wait for sothing to happen to their ship and then try to find a solution? This is a Hamilton possibly lost out at sea. You need to do all you can to bring him ho," Gage said.

"Or," Gage turned around to face the group. "Are you rejoicing inside in hopes that my brother might perish out at sea? Is that it?"

It wasn’t a secret that most of them hated Zayne and would like to see him dead. Unfortunately for them, Gage wasn’t going to let that happen now.

"If anything happens to my brother, I am going to execute every last one of you who failed to find a solution to get him ho. I don’t care how many ships you need to send out to get him ho, just do it!" Gage yelled, frustrated that he was the only one coming up with ideas.

Why did a storm have to be upon them before Zayne was ho?

Gage wasn’t worried about whether Zayne had good news to tell him. He just wanted for his brother to be back ho.

Gage felt guilty since he pushed and pushed for Zayne to leave. Now, no one had any way of reaching out to him to see if he was safe and close to ho.

What was he to tell Rose? What was he to tell his mother?

If anything happened to Zayne then Gage knew they would never forgive him.

"I’ll reward the bastard who hears from my brother or spots him first,’ said Gage.

This was the only way he knew to motivate these n to help Zayne. After this, he had to get rid of the n enjoying that Zayne might not co ho. They were too dangerous to keep in the palace.

"You’re dismissed. Don’t co to

until you’ve co up with a way to bring my brother ho," Gage said, tired of seeing their useless faces.

The n left the room quickly before the king could punish them for sothing they did not have any part in. It wasn’t their fault that the weather was so bad that Zayne could not find his way ho.

Gage’s thoughts beca worse now that he was alone or so he thought. He turned around to face the window he wished would show the docks.

"What have you fools done now that you are in such a panic?" Yvonne asked, worried because of Gage’s stance. "Is it because of the storm? We’re faced with worse weather than this. We must be lucky that it isn’t during winter."

Gage didn’t want to tell Yvonne about Zayne as she would scold him but he needed soone to talk to about this. "It is about Zayne."

"Oh! He must be back already. Your mother and Rose will be relieved. Did he bring bad news?" Yvonne wondered since it would explain why the palace was in such an awful mood. "Well, he tried his best. The most we can do now is to be prepared to stop war from reaching too far into the kingdom. Gage, would you please look at ?"

Yvonne told him in the early days of their marriage that she hated when soone turned their back to her as they spoke. It felt like she was being dismissed.

"It is not about that. We haven’t gotten any word from him to know if he is almost ho. In other words, Zayne is lost at the mont and we don’t know what to do to help him. I’m stuck," Gage said, finally turning around to face Yvonne.

Yvonne shook her head as she refused to believe what Gage told her. "Now is not the ti for you to be saying sothing like this. We’re already worried about this storm and I can’t start to think about your brother being lost so please, tell

that it isn’t true you have lost your brother."

"I’ll do what I can to bring him ho-"

"You fool!" Yvonne yelled. "What do you think will co out of this if he doesn’t return ho? He did not want to leave Rose."

"But then he decided to go. If sothing happens to him out there, I cannot have his death on my hands. My mother would never forgive . I will find a way to get a hold of them. To spot them or sothing to help them ho. I’ll try," Gage said but he didn’t know exactly what to do.

Yvonne understood Gage not wanting this on his hands but he needed to accept so kind of responsibility. "You pushed and pushed until you got him to leave."

"Yvonne!" Gage yelled, not needing this from her now.

"I am speaking! So kind of guilt has to eat you up today since you pushed for him to leave when all he wanted to do was stay ho with his wife. I am not saying all of this is your fault since you don’t have any control over the weather but maybe his resistance to leave was saving him from being lost in a storm," Yvonne said, unable to see Gage’s hands as clean.

Yvonne stood up as she couldn’t look at Gage for much longer. "Fix it. I don’t care if you need to get onto a ship and bring him ho yourself. Find a way to get Zayne ho. If he does not arrive by nightfall, you must go tell Rose yourself. She will be waiting for him to show up."

"It is not unusual for him to be late. He could be close to ho but the storm is slowing him down," Gage tried not to think the worst.

"He could be safe but we must still prepare for the worst and inform his wife. Or did you plan to keep that a secret from her?" Yvonne wondered.

"I didn’t want to worry her over nothing," Gage said, having a feeling Zayne wouldn’t want Rose to panic. "I wait till night and if he is not back, I will go to Rose when it is safe."
