Zayne led Rose away from the princess and her old friend. He noticed how Rose clung to him. This was the most they had touched each other since they met. Something was bothering her and he would bet it was the princess.
"She will not get to you."
Rose snapped out of thoughts about Alexander. "What? Oh, the princess. She has feelings for Alexander so he warned me of her jealousy. I do not want to have a royal trying to hurt me because of a misunderstanding and I worry for him. He is a soldier but the princess has him at her side. Is that normal?"
"No. Like her father, the princess knows how to abuse her power," Zayne replied. "Many royals can be that way."
