Chapter 34: Chapter 34"I have not seen him all day."
"That is strange. Is there trouble that I was not alerted about?" Alexander asked as Mathias seemed to have some sort of secret mission.
"There isn’t any that I know of," the soldier answered.
"You may return to your post. As soon as Mathias returns, tell him to come to my tent," said Alexander.
Alexander left the soldier and made his way to his tent. Since they returned to this town, Mathias has been acting strange. He was gone all day with a few guards when they didn’t have any reason to leave the camp.
It was likely that Mathias and others were wasting their time in brothels since it was all Alexander heard some of the men speaking about. However, the last time he saw Mathias, Mathias looked like a nervous wreck.
"Has he found himself in trouble?" Alexander considered.
If Mathias stumbled upon someone who might place him as a former slave it was like Mathias to hide this from him and try to get rid of the problem.
Alexander entered his tent and went straight to a bucket of water to dip his hands in and wet his face. Mathias’s behaviour these days took his focus away from trying to find Rose. Alexander found himself having to be in two places at once as he wanted to
This was their friend Mathias was speaking about. They should be hoping that life wasn’t hell for Rose.
"You’ll strangle me over what I said about her? Why am I not surprised?" Mathias asked. They spent years together acting like brothers to the point that Mathias believed they were related but Alexander was still going to pick Rose.
Mathias would never understand it as he did not want to go for anyone he viewed as beneath him. He was going to achieve things that many once believed were beyond his reach and wipe away every trace about him once being sold.
How were they to raise their status if they became known for having old ties to a whore or being slaves?
Alexander let go of Mathias as it was a mistake to grab him and they were getting unwanted attention. "I shall do as I please with Rose. If wanting to keep my promise angers you so much, then we can cut ties here since we stand for different things. You can forget your past all you want but you must remember you only had freedom because of her."
