Chapter 74

At the soldier's camp, Alexander opened another letter personally sent from the princess. The letters were increasing and with each new one, he could feel her anger over him not being in the palace. It was like she was expecting him for some reason and was annoyed that he was taking his time.

Alexander placed the letter over a lit candle to have it burn. He didn't have time for her silly games or her crush that needed to go away. There was a small window left for him to find Rose before he needed to travel to the palace.

The more he thought about how he might not find her, the more upset he became with Mathias for keeping her location a secret.

Alexander partially blamed himself for not remembering where the brothel was. As soon as he returned to town, he should have known where to go but his memory of this place was not the same as eight years ago.

Alexander watched as the letter burned and then shook the paper before the flames reached his fingers.
