Chapter 56

“You should have let me join the women at the theatre, I wanted to meet him too.”

Strukus dragged her along. At first she had been the one worrying about her safety but one look at Zenas and she lost all of her senses and wanted to be seen by him. He wanted to club her on the head with a stick but he couldn’t, not just because she was a princess but he liked her too much to cause any harm to her.

“You are five, Cleo! You can’t be seen by him or anyone else.”

“Who says so?” she demanded.

He stopped short abruptly almost causing her to fall back. “Garius. Your father. The list is long but I think you understand the message.”
