The Forgotten Prince Chapter 117

Chapter 117: Chapter 117

Rose held onto Zayne so she wouldn’t fall as he led her to sowhere she could sit down. The na Lilian repeated in her head and unlike her other dreams or mories, this one left a bad feeling.

There was a faint voice saying the na but Rose could not put a face to it. The field seed to be the one thing she could clearly rember from her past.

Zayne took Rose away from where the princess and the queen were. The na Lilian wasn’t uncommon so many won present would have it, wanting to be nad after a queen but they shouldn’t take the chance.

There wasn’t anywhere for Rose to sit so he hoisted her up to place her on a stone wall.

Rose opened her eyes after the pain subdued.

"Better?" Zayne asked.

Rose nodded her head despite there being a small ache left. "I have not felt like that in so long. I think there was soone from my past with the na Lilian. I can hear a voice in my head but then it mixes with mine."

"It has been long. At least we have another clue. I would hope that the Lilian you knew was not the queen or that you have any connection to the princess. You should never be near those two but still, well done," Killian complinted Rose. "You didn’t faint."

"I didn’t," Rose replied, proud of herself. "If only there was a face to the voice. I wonder why I can only clearly rember the field. Or maybe, it is not real?"

"You could have visited it a lot in your past. It is the one mory you have been clinging to. Do you need water?" Zayne asked, not knowing if it would help with anything but it was all he could offer now.

Rose opened her mouth, ready to respond but sothing caught her attention. Rose was made aware of how she sat with Zayne so close to her as others were staring.

It was easy for others to misunderstand how she sat on the wall and Zayne was so close, holding her so she wouldn’t fall.

Rose didn’t want a misunderstanding for Zayne. "We should move. Many are staring."

"With how you are dressed, they will stare all night. Will you worry about them looking at us all night long? That would be boring," Zayne said, lifting Rose to help her down. "You are not afraid of ," he said, bringing up her confession. "What was it about you missing ?

While Zayne wanted to speak of what she rembered about her past, he was more interested in hearing how Rose would miss him when he had to leave. What prompted Rose to think about him leaving? The truce wasn’t announced as official yet for either of them to be saying goodbye.

Rose looked down at her shoes. In that mont, she wasn’t embarrassed to tell Zayne of missing him but now it was different. Shouldn’t what she said before be enough? Why did she have to speak of it again? "You heard what I said,’ she replied.

"I did but you didn’t get to finish. What else were you going to tell , Rose?"

"Nothing more. We should move," Rose said, trying to get away from being trapped between the wall behind her and Zayne. "I want to walk around before it gets too busy and I must find Mary. What if she is all alone?"

"Mary went to find Finn. He won’t leave her alone and Mary can take care of herself. Why do you think so many are afraid of her? I apologise for avoiding you at tis the last two days. I misunderstood your reaction and thought I made you uncomfortable. Talking that night would have helped," Zayne admitted.

"On both our parts. I should have just said it then but I was embarrassed. I will miss all of you. I don’t know why I am thinking of that when you do not have to leave yet. I have always known that you need to return, so why?" Rose wondered. Why then was she so worried about it?

"Perhaps it is best we figure it out another ti and find you another mask before this one pokes out your eye. You are rubbing it too much for my liking," Zayne said, holding Rose’s hand to stop her from moving around the mask. "We can find another like this."

Away from where Zayne walked with Rose, Princess Kiara smiled to greet the people. She thought she had bad luck at first to be the one sent by her father to attend the festival but her luck changed after getting Alexander to be her guard for the night.

Kiara had two missions to complete tonight. One, from her father which was to get close to Prince Zayne and one of her own which was to get a kiss from Alexander by the end of the night.

All the recent problems with her father trying to get her to marry Zayne would not bother Kiara if she could just share a kiss with the man she loved. Walking around the festival with him like they were a married couple already satisfied one of her dreams.

Kiara looked down at Alexander’s hand. She wanted to hold it and walk together but she could not as there were too many watching her. ’If the kingdom knew of my love for him, would they cheer us on?’ She wondered.

The won of the kingdom always loved a romantic story and Kiara had overheard so of the maids who spotted her with Alexander, rooting for the two of them as it was wonderful to see a royal falling in love with her guard.

"You should smile. I know you are not smiling though the mask covers your face. Do you not like it? I picked it out just for you," Kiara said, looking up at the black mask Alexander wore. She tried to find a mask for Alexander that looked close to the one she wore. "It suits you. Speak, Alexander. This is not a night to ruin for ."

"What do you want

to say, princess? Thank you for taking

from my post and making

a guard?" Alexander asked. He was a soldier in the army not a palace guard to be at her side. Kiara had plenty of palace guards to join her now but she pulled him from where he belonged.

Kiara smiled as she found Alexander being upset to be cute. "That is why I said you must gain power. Then you can stop

from doing whatever I want with you but until then, smile and make your princess happy. Now, where is that general?"

Though Kiara only wanted to be with Alexander tonight, she still had to do what her father sent her for, which was to make the general happy and stay by his side for a while to act like she was falling in love with him.

"Mother, we must find the general before he decides to leave the festival. I can go off with my guards while you wait here for Mateo to arrive. It is best we split up to find him,’ Kiara suggested.

Lilian glanced at the man standing behind Kiara. She trusted that her daughter knew better than to wander off with a guard when she was here for what her father wanted. "Be safe. You are the princess and there is no telling who is in the crowds."

"I will be safe. Excuse ," Kiara curtsied, bidding goodbye to her mother.
