The Forgotten Princess Rose-Chapter 295

"I can’t think of the last time we had a drink like this and I can’t think of when I drank without hiding from Yvonne. You must not get the chance to drink with Rose around," Gage said, pouring Zayne extra for that reason.

"Why wouldn’t I?" Zayne asked, puzzled.

"In the early days they are worried about you drinking too much so they tell the servants to hide the bottles. They’re too afraid to tell us about it but they hide our bottles like we aren’t going to notice it. I don’t understand them," said Gage.

"Rose doesn’t hide anything from me. Not even my weapons which I thought she would want to keep out of sight. She’s been putting them up on display while I’ve been away. We don’t have the same problems," Zayne said, happy that he didn’t.

"Or, she doesn’t care for you. I probably shouldn’t say these things until you’re a little drunk. Relax a little bit, Zayne. I’m not attacking your marriage. She loves you. I felt it when she was glaring at me. Just know that a time will come when she wants to hide what she thinks is dangerous. Just wait," Gage said, looking forward to hearing Zayne speak about it.

"Rose is not Yvonne or any other wife. She doesn’t care about the same things as other young ladies do which is why I love her and if she ever decided to hide something, I wouldn’t be bothered by it. I love anything she does to show that she cares for me," Zayne said, taking a sip after.

Gage shook his head in disbelief. He couldn’t believe the hold Rose had on Zayne. "I thought you would be the last person to ever be like this with your wife. She has full control of you and I don’t even think you see it."

Zayne was well aware of it. "She can control me as much as she wants."

Gage moved the bottle from in front of Zayne since he had enough even though they just started. "I don’t like this side of you. Normally, you keep to yourself and don’t like anyone but now you want someone to control you. I don’t like it one bit. Do you love her that much?"

"Yes. Wasn’t it obvious?" Zayne asked, not understanding why many didn’t believe his love for Rose.

"It is but it is so unlike you. I’m happy for you but seeing you all in love is something I can’t get used to. I hope you continue to be a good husband or I just might have to beat some sense into you. I can’t let you be that kind of man. Don’t laugh at me!" Gage yelled.

"Sorry. It’s hard not to laugh when you say you’re going to beat me. When have you ever done that? You don’t need to worry about me being a bad husband. I’m going to do everything I can to make up for those bad eight years she had. I’m not in the mood for any games now that she is here. I will kill anyone who bothers her," Zayne gave Gage a heads up.

"I want to say that she changed you for you to be thinking of killing so much but you’ve always been this way. Have you thought of moving her to somewhere more quiet in the kingdom? I don’t want you to move far away from the palace but the capital might not be the place for Rose," Gage said as it was possible she would face more enemies here.

"I thought about it but Rose sees the estate as home already so we won’t be moving. I’m not going to move her around to find the best place where no one speaks about her. There are idiots all around and it’s better to tell them instead of moving around. More," Zayne held his cup for Gage.

"Well, it’s good for me that Rose doesn’t want to move. I was worried that she would want to go back home and I couldn’t have that. I’m going to wait patiently for you to decide to be my general again. I know you’ll be back somewhere in the future. Maybe after you have your first child," Gage said, willing to bet on it.

Once again, Zayne couldn’t understand Gage. "Why would I choose to be the general again right after having a child with Rose? I should be home with her."

Gage took a long sip of his drink. "You would think so but it can get so crazy sometimes that you just want to be away from home. It doesn’t mean that I don’t love my son but the crying never came to an end sometimes. How do you plan to be a good father when you don’t come to see your nephew?"

"He’s not my son," Zayne replied. "Are you seeing your son?"

"Of course I do. I’m a good father. So much of a good father that Yvonne and I have been trying to give him a sibling. It must be boring to be in the palace without anyone to play with. When are you-"

"Don’t ask," Zayne stopped Gage. "It’s no one’s concern when I have a child."

"I hate to say it but you’re going to have to put up with everyone asking. You’re a royal and early into your marriage. They might not ask you but they will ask Rose. All the pressure is on her to give you a son and she doesn’t want a child yet so she’s setting herself up to be gossiped about," Gage said, worried for the people who didn’t know of Zayne’s hunt for blood.

Gage glanced at Zayne and then turned his attention back to the bottle. "Has she thought of meeting with anyone her age yet? They should all have at least one child by now. She’s going to feel the need to have a child. You know it. Is that why you’re keeping her on the estate?"

"I’m not keeping her there. Rose is free to go anywhere aside from the palace. I’m not in a rush to have a child when she isn’t ready for one so I suggest you all stop thinking about when we have one. We just got married," Zayne said, wanting to enjoy their time together first.

Gage smiled. "So, if Rose told you she wanted to have a child right now, what would you do?" freewebnoveℓ.com

"Have a child. Why do you make the most simple things so complicated? I am ready when she is ready. I think you should stop drinking because you’re getting a little too curious about my marriage. Right before winter hits, I might take Rose back to see her family and spend the winter there," Zayne said, not certain if he would go through with this idea.

"That’s a long time to be away from home. If only her family were simple people to bring them to live here. That would solve our problem. Well, have fun travelling with her and try not to get lost when you go. You should take your nephew with you-"

"No," Zayne declined the offer. "Stop trying to get rid of your son."
