Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103: Backstabbed (1)

In the late hours of the next day, Selene was the first one to wake up or so she believed. She was surprised that Xavier had not left the bed as he always would right when she fell asleep last night. She knew he hadn’t left the bed since they were in the same position as when she fell asleep and even closer than that.

Selene cursed herself for letting her hands wander in the night. She knew Xavier was well aware of where her hands were placed and she would hear of it at some point.

Selene didn’t bother to be careful as she slipped away from him. She moved her hands away from him quickly and got off the bed before he could hold onto her.

This was the one time she might believe he was asleep since his hold on her wasn’t as strong as before.

Selene went to the door to greet Agnes who should be there waiting to dress her.

"Good day, Milady."

"I’m sorry that I kept you waiting. It seems well into the day," Selene said, seeing the sunlight creeping into small places.

Already she noticed the windows were covered even more than normal to keep some of the sunlight out.

"It is fine. I do not mind waiting outside for you. Are you ready to have your bath or should I bring up something for you to eat? The table is already set but I can bring your food here," Agnes offered.

"No. I would like to go down. He is still asleep so I don’t want to disturb him. Help me to get dressed quickly and then I will go down to have some blood," Selene instructed Agnes.

Agnes glanced at the bed where Xavier laid. How certain was Selene that Xavier was still asleep?

To enter the room alone with Selene was one thing but it was terrifying to enter while Xavier was there. Agnes saw him as a sleeping beast. Normally he would only trouble Selene but watching him still scared Agnes.

"He will not bite. Maybe," Selene said, not certain anymore since he bit her. Humans might not be the only ones who need to beware of getting bitten by Xavier. "Let us be quick."

Agnes did as Selene wanted and dressed her as quickly as she could then head out of the room to wait for Selene.

Selene grew suspicious of Xavier not moving at least once. It couldn’t be that he was this tired since he went to bed at the same time as her. Was he hurt?

Knowing she wouldn’t be able to focus on her tasks today unless she checked, Selene approached the bed. She sat down where she earlier laid and touched his face.

Selene frowned just as Xavier smiled. "I should have known. Are you a child? Why would you lay there this long when you were awake?"

Xavier held her hand. "I knew it would be comfortable for you and your maid if I were not walking around. It is good to know you wouldn’t leave me if you suspect there is something wrong. You have joined Harold in caring for me so much."

Selene pulled his hand from her hold. "You should keep Harold as number one. I am going down to get blood and get started on what I have planned for the day. You can continue to lie as you are."

"I have work to do as well," Xavier replied.

"Then I will leave you to get to it. I want to see what work was done during the night and what is needed from me. I have considered meeting with Francesca. I’m sure it won’t be long before more of the queen’s ladies come after me so I will need help. There is work to be done with these ladies as your wife," said Selene. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}
