The Forgotten Prince Chapter 334

Chapter 334: Chapter 334

"Would you like another? I would love for Zayne to try one but he isn’t a lover of sweets. I can buy it for him and eat what he leaves behind. Can I have two more?" Rose asked the rchant.

They were off to a good start minus having to speak to Alexander.

"You will need water but I do not know where to get it," Krystle said, feeling out of her elent. At ho, she knew where to get everything Rose needed fast but she had to learn her surroundings.

"I do not need water to drink but I might need it to wash my hands. It is sticky," Rose said, regretting holding the candy with both her hands.

Krystle took the candy from the rchant so Rose wouldn’t need to make her hand stickier. "The lady needs water for her hands," she inford the guards.

"I have to visit Charlotte and Janice. They should have a space for

to wash my hands. We can go there now since it is close by. Mary, Finn," Rose turned to the pair behind her. "Is there sowhere you wish to go? We can go there first."

"We are here to protect you," Mary reminded Rose.

"Right. You are all working," Rose said, disappointed they could not relax a bit. Even Krystle was busy trying to focus on serving her.

Rose hadn’t thought of how walking without a friend who did not need to serve or guard her would be. "Then we will go to Charlotte for a short visit. It is this- Oh!" Rose gasped, surprised by the aftermath of the soldier before her who was struck by sothing.

It looked to be a rotten fruit which burst when it hurt the soldier’s face and ruined his uniform. Rose tried to get a good look at who threw it but the guards blocked her view to protect her from getting hit.

"Are you alright?" Krystle asked, doing a quick look over Rose’s appearance.

"I am fine. I wasn’t the one hit by it. Where is my handkerchief so he can wipe it off? Did I leave it in the carriage?" Rose wondered since it wasn’t anywhere to be found. Why was it that the one ti she needed the handkerchief it wasn’t around?

Krystle still checked to see that Rose was not hit by anything. "Who did it?" She asked, trying to tiptoe to look over the guards. That person must have a death wish.

Did they think Rose wouldn’t be protected well since Zayne wasn’t around?

Finn left the group with Mary to deal with the fool who thought it was smart to throw sothing in Rose’s direction. He found a man who had to be twice his age holding another rotten tomato he wanted to throw. ’Don’t," Finn warned the man.

Mary pulled out her sword after Finn’s shoes were spat on.

"You don’t belong here and she’s a traitor to this kingdom. A whore who married the enemy!" The stranger yelled. He refused to be so welcoming of the people who caused this good kingdom to fall. The ones who made many of them lose sons the day they attacked the palace.

Mary aid her sword at the man’s neck. She was ready to kill him without first receiving the order from Finn. He could not call Rose a whore and get away with it. "If you want to be a fool and act like your king was good to you then so be it but do not insult her na."

The stranger spat in Mary’s face. He didn’t need so woman telling him what to do.

Finn grabbed the stranger’s shirt and threw a punch, one right after the other for both insulting Rose and being so disgusting he would spit in Mary’s face. Mary shielded Finn from another man who ca forward with rotten fruit.

Mary looked behind them at the guards still surrounding Rose. She could tell by the reactions of her peers that they wanted to join to help them but it was more important to keep Rose safe. "Get the lady out of here," she ordered the group.

Mary was hit in the chest by sothing and before she could react to it, all she saw was a fist connecting to the face of the man who hit her. "Zayne,’ she said, surprised by his arrival.

Zayne separated Finn from the man who was about to be unconscious from how hard Finn had been hitting him. He stood like a wall between the two sides.

Finn flicked his hand, trying to shake off the pain from his bruised knuckles. "They threw sothing in Rose’s direction and spat in Mary’s face."

Zayne peered down at the man who could hardly keep his eyes open. He had hoped on the way here that he would find Rose lost in enjoying herself and he would keep his distance for a mont to not disturb her but instead, he ca across this.

"Mary, go with Rose," Zayne said, staying behind to deal with the fools in front of him.

"You’re the one who-"

"Yes, I am the one who led the charge to kill your king," Zayne spoke over the stranger. "Your issue is with

so fight ."

Walter, the man who was the first one to throw, averted his gaze. He didn’t know Zayne was around. He had managed to get a few people so angry that they would throw the rotten fruits and vegetables at the outsiders. He looked around for the n he riled up to help him.

"This is our land," Walter said, using the last of his courage to confront Zayne. "It is ti that your people leave."

Zayne grabbed Walter’s hand and raised it to show the tomato in his hand. "Were you aiming for my wife with these?"

"She’s a whore who-"

Zayne didn’t allow the man to finish by grabbing his neck and squeezing it with brute force. "I am not here to harm anyone. The war is over and we do not have any plans to control you but let this be a warning to all of you, I will kill anyone who targets my wife. I consider throwing fruit at her to be hurting her."

Walter tapped Zayne’s hand, needing him to let go before he broke sothing.

Zayne didn’t let go of Walter all because he pleaded. He needed to see the man suffer a little bit and only when Walter started to cry did Zayne let go of him. ’Pick them up and throw them away," he told the n behind Walter.

Zayne didn’t know how his people and the town guards were handling this behaviour but he didn’t have the patience for it especially when they were targeting Rose.

Zayne left the crowd to find Rose to check that she was fine. If he found any mark on her then he would return to slaughter anyone involved. He didn’t care how his reaction would make him look.

"I should have hit him one more ti,’ Finn said, still pissed off by what happened. Mary could take it since she was a soldier but still, Finn didn’t like to see it.

"Rose," Zayne called to her so she knew he was near.

The soldiers got out of the way to let Zayne get close to Rose.

Zayne pald her cheeks and looked over her appearance.

"I wasn’t hit. You ca just in ti," Rose said, happy to see him. "We should go. I am not ready to walk around."

With Zayne here, it was unlikely that anyone would hurt her but Rose didn’t want to take a chance. She had too much to lose to risk it all just to walk around today.
