Chapter 119

"She is an old friend of Mathias and I. Like a little sister we used to care for. We haven't seen her in years after we joined the army. That is all," Alexander answered. 

"Sister? It didn't look that way," Kiara said, holding onto her hunch that this was Alexander's lover. "Maybe it is from my brothers and I not having a close relationship which makes me misunderstand. It is terrible you have not seen her in years. You have been working too hard."

If Mathias did know Rose then Kiara could get her answers from there. Mathias was always eager to please her. Those desperate to climb higher in the palace always kissed her feet. She would get to the bottom of this fast and if there were lies told, someone had hell to pay.

"You don't need to hide her from us. You heard him say she is like his sister. We should have them speak," Kiara said, her smile returning. She had acted rashly due to her jealousy and could not make that mistake again.
