The Forgotten Princess Rose

Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Chapter 11Graham eyed the man before him who wasn’t paying any attention to the women around them. Graham had selected the best of the women he had in the brothel to try to get Zayne to take one yet the foreigner remained uninterested.

"I wonder what the women are like where you are from to have you so uninterested in my women. I want to see what you are used to so I can understand why you offend me by not sparing a single glance at these women. I mean," Graham said, turning his attention to a woman with her dress not leaving much to his imagination.

How beautiful could the women Zayne was used to be that he didn’t like what was before him?

It made Graham want to send a few men out to see if he could buy a few of those women. His business would bloom even more than it already was if he had foreign women here. He could already see the men lining up to fill the rooms.

Zayne didn’t know what Graham was on about now. If not for what was said about the brothel being a good place to buy information about this land, he would not put up with the talkative man.

"Your women are beautiful but it is the drinks that I come here for. You are the only one to have drinks that reach our land," said Zayne.

Graham laughed as he never heard of a man coming here just for drinks. Even the men around Zayne only drank and did not indulge themselves in women. "You can find good drinks elsewhere. This is a brother, Mr. Hamilton. You don’t need to worry about the women as they are here to do what you want."

"I can order them to do whatever is that you like. Your secret is safe with us. If it is that the reason you show them no interest is because you like men, I am told that I have a few good-looking male servants I can send your way," Graham offered.

He had never thought to sell the men he bought but for a good price, he would. Graham wanted to be a brothel owner who could cater to everyone’s needs.

Zayne smiled despite being annoyed that Graham concluded he wanted a man. "I must politely decline your offer. I have never set my sights on men and I never will."

"Then, someone young-"

’Excuse me," Zayne spoke over Graham before the fool could say something foolish. He stood up from his seat as he couldn’t take hearing another word from Graham.

Zayne had a simple task to do by order of his king and with that, he was to behave while he was here so the truce that the two kingdoms had would not fall before it could officially happen.

Graham didn’t see the need for Zayne to get up and leave when he was only trying to be a good host by figuring out what Zayne likes. "Does he not know how to use it?" He joked.

Zayne closed the door of the room he was given for the night. The men he came with could keep Graham distracted while he

Left alone, Rose threw the lantern behind her and quickly joined to go through the window. She almost stumbled and feared that she might end up being burned by the fire she created but was lifted out of the window.

"Do not touch me," Rose said, pushing Zayne away after he placed her down. She covered her chest with her hands. She had to thank him for his help but Graham and Jonathan came to mind when he touched her. "I-"

"My apologies."

"What?" Rose replied, stunned by the two words that left his mouth. Since when did they apologise?

"It means I am sorry. Do we not speak the same language and how long do you intend to stand next to the crime you committed?" Zayne asked, watching as the fire behind Rose started to spread fast.
