Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Plans (2)

In the late night hours, Vivienne sat up from the bed she had been lying on. She was annoyed by what she had to endure tonight to please their families. She hoped it was only this one night that she needed to become pregnant with a king and not another. She could not take another day lying with Darius after knowing how many he gave himself to. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

Vivienne walked away from the bed where Darius still laid. She desperately needed to scrub her skin to get rid of his touch.

Darius laid peacefully while she was wide awake trying to forget their intimacy. It was always only fun for him since he focused on pleasing himself. For a man who slept around so often, Vivienne found it strange he was so terrible but then again, others would put up with it to find their way into the palace.

If the guards would listen to her, Vivienne would have them lift Darius out of her room and take him to his room but they would be too afraid.

She sat down to fix her appearance and to clear her mind. The events of the gathering had not left her mind. ’I need a new plan,’ she thought.

After Xavier’s threat today, Vivienne knew she couldn’t be seen when the other ladies would oust Selene. She was angry with his choice but Vivienne didn’t want to stop being friends with Xavier. She wanted to see him more often and hopefully, convince him to help her find a way to get away from Darius.

’The princess,’ Vivienne thought of the heartbroken young woman.

The princess was not over her failed engagement and was most likely more upset than anyone about Xavier’s marriage. The princess was never one to think about her actions since she believed being a royal made her untouchable.

It had been frustrating at first for Vivienne to get used to the idea of Xavier marrying the princess but now it would be quite useful. Xavier would go after the princess for targeting Selene but it would be Vivienne in the background helping Selene’s fall.

Vivienne smiled since the solution to her problems was here. There were also plenty of other women from good families who had their eyes set on Xavier. Selene didn’t know what she got herself into.

From tomorrow, it would be known that Selene had not found a place in this town. Every lady with status should think twice about being seen with her.

"It would be interesting if that human rose above her," Vivienne said, thinking of the woman who replaced Selene as the hero’s wife.

Vivienne didn’t have any plans to keep Cassandra at her side but she could pull strings to have Cassandra rise among the human women. If Cassandra was desperate for status and wealth like Gabriel then Vivienne could certainly push Cassandra to target Selene.

"It will be a good day," Vivienne said, her mood suddenly better. "Isn’t it about time you get out of my bed? I have done enough."

Darius opened his eyes, revealing he had been awake. "You certainly did enough which is why I am still here. I find it hard to move. Perhaps I should consider moving my things here."

Vivienne did not like the sound of that. "No, you will not. From the beginning, we agreed not to share a space. It will not start now that you are bringing women into the palace."
