Chapter 257

"How are you a free man right now? If anyone else were to beat up the king like you did, they would be praying for their life to be spared right about now. You gave the king a bloody nose which messes up the appearance he has to make to speak about our victory. Now he pushes even more for us to head out again. Violence solves nothing," Finn argued.

"Coming from a man whose job is being in the army?" Zayne replied.

"That's different. That's my job but you hit the king because you didn't like him. You going out again means that I have to go out again. I just got back to my mother's cooking and we have a lot of people who are now with their families. A few came home to the arrival of babies. How are we to pull them away?' Finn asked, seeing it as unreasonable.

"We won't. Weren't you listening today that I am not going anywhere? I can't leave Rose alone yet," Zayne said, worried about how she was with him gone for so long.
