The Forgotten Prince Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Chapter 87

"I wish we were ho to deal with that bastard. Because this town is sowhat poor they don’t care to look for anyone. This is the perfect place to bring anyone kidnapped thanks to the way the town guards are. They must be getting sothing out of that business," said Finn, knowing money had to be why they didn’t care.

It was shaful that people not from this land had to free won from the brothel while the guards only showed interest for two days and then gave up.

"What are you going to do now?" Finn asked as Zayne failed to find out anything about Rose.

"He said there were papers from other towns. We’ll have to check when we leave if other guards will have a list for missing girls. It is possible that Rose is not from this town. When you are with her, try to get her to rember her past," Zayne said as Rose’s lost mory held the clue to where she was from.

"There’s so much happening with one person. I hardly know her but there’s a strong sense to protect her. It makes

rember why I decided to join the army. This town disgusts ," Finn said, looking around at the people happily carrying on while there were slaves among them.

The people who noticed the business but said nothing about it all had the chance to end up being taken.

"Zayne, I don’t want to have any ties with a kingdom that allows its people to be sold. What if people from your kingdom travel here? Who is to guarantee their safety? They might be sought after since they are from a different land. That is sothing I can’t sit back to allow," said Finn.

Finn would have to step away from the army and anything to do with the palace if they allowed their people to co here while this kingdom was like this.

"That won’t happen. The king has two choices. Fix his kingdom or we will fix it for him," Zayne answered.

They were ready to invade this kingdom but at the last second King Jas raised his flag and spoke about peace. They were here to hear him out and potentially gain an ally to make their ties bigger, but this kingdom was nothing like the stories or it was that towns like this one were intentionally left out of the stories..

"I am just curious if it cos to war, what will you do with Rose? What if she doesn’t find her family before then? Does she know where to go to be out of the way of danger? Would you be so crazy to-"

"Shut up," Zayne said, annoyed by all the questions. It wasn’t at the point of war continuing for him to worry about Rose.

Finn smiled, knowing Zayne must not want to think about Rose being in danger. "I lived to see the day you act protective over a woman. I understand since you take one look at her and you just want to protect her. You only need to worry about your brother finding out."

"I don’t care if he does," Zayne answered and then got up on his horse. His brother was the least of his concerns.

Finn followed Zayne by getting up on his horse. He worried about the relationship between the two should there ever be one since Zayne’s brother would love it if Zayne married the princess here. The king planned to get Zayne to stay here so he no longer had to worry about Zayne overthrowing him to beco king.

"It’s good that you won’t take Rose to the palace because she would have to hear the royals trying to convince you to take the princess’s hand, but would there be a need for concern since Rose doesn’t like you? Easy there," Finn said, slowing down his horse after Zayne reached for sothing under his shirt.

He truly believed that Zayne would shoot him with many witnesses around.

Finn made a note in his head to not speak of Zayne’s sad one-sided crush. It would be hard since he wasn’t used to seeing Zayne be this way with a woman.

"By the way, which horse will Rose be using or will she need to ride with ?" Finn asked. The chances of her knowing how to ride a horse were low.

"She will ride with ," Zayne answered.

There wasn’t enough ti to teach Rose how to ride a horse.

Finn smiled and bit his tongue to not say sothing funny. "You’re playing a dangerous ga here. Your soldiers will either be jealous of you for getting to ride around with a pretty woman or think you are crazy for entertaining a woman from this land."

Finn continued, "And you know that despite your plan to announce her as your maid, so might assu you are keeping her around as a woman to bed at night. Despite where she lived the last eight years, I would find that uncomfortable to hear if I were her."

Zayne couldn’t control what would be said even if he threatened anyone. So were going to accept Rose at so point while others would not like her around. Such was life and all Rose had to do was go around the people who liked her.

Of all the lands Zayne had travelled to, he had never welcod a woman into his tent unless they were a soldier who had concerns. His tent was a private space where he didn’t allow n to enter as well. Rose would be safe there until she made friends.

Finn decided to take it upon himself to warn the n to be careful when they spoke of Rose. The majority of the soldiers with them were loyal to Zayne so despite their opinions they could keep their mouths shut but there was a group loyal to the king who were here to keep an eye on Zayne.

Zayne commanded his horse to go faster so they could get back to the camp before night. There was still much to be packed up so they could leave on ti to get to the palace. They were to arrive around the ti as the king’s army that had set up camp in this town and then go to the palace the day after.

Zayne planned to leave town before King Jas’ soldiers did so the two groups would not cross paths. There would be a fight and Rose had faces she should not see yet.

Zayne and Finn soon returned to the camp where the soldiers were still working, loading what they needed onto carts.

On his way to the front door, Zayne spotted a woman amongst the soldiers. She had done well during their last outing so she was invited to co to this kingdom.

"Finn, add Mary as Rose’s guard when there is nothing she has to do," Zayne said, knowing it was best to have a woman around Rose sotis.

Mary was quiet and kept to herself since she was one of the few won in the army. Mary had potential but she found it hard to speak up.

Finn looked to his right at the woman most of the n were afraid of. "If Rose is like a bunny then Mary is like a wild cat. Are you sure you want to put the two together?"

"Yes," Zayne replied.

Rose needed soone like Mary who might be closer to Rose’s age to teach her how to take care or defend herself like Rose wanted.
