"Oh, Zayne!" Madeline touched her chest, trying to calm herself after being startled. "For such a tall man you are light on your feet. Rose is taking a look through the garden at the flowers. This was once a place I found comfort in."
Zayne stood beside Madeline watching as Rose explored the garden.
The blood from the day he took control was cleaned up so the palace went back to looking pretty.
"I told Rose that I must hurry to get what she needs. Can you give me an idea of how long I have? Madeline asked.
"We need to leave in three days. The men from my brother's court will take my place from tonight so my soldiers will start gathering supplies for our trip back. I would love to keep her here with you a little longer but I must get my soldiers back to their families," Zayne replied.
