Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Haven (1)

Cassandra looked out the carriage window, excitedly awaiting her visit to the church. It was the one place in town where she could feel safe from the watchful eyes of vampires. None of them would dare to step foot in a church unless they wanted to harm themselves.

Cassandra was grateful Gabriel had not tried to tag along with her since she had other things she intended to do during this visit.

Gabriel kept himself busy by telling others about their wedding and inviting those he deemed important. Cassandra still wished to see the king but knew it was a long time before Gabriel would have such guests.

"Are you well, Milady?" Mandy asked.

"Gazing out a window does not mean I am not well. It means that I am in deep thought and wouldn’t like to be disturbed," Cassandra replied, facing the woman Gabriel forced to come with her.

After what happened to his mother, why did Gabriel think having someone like Mandy around would keep her safe? While Mandy was a vampire, she was weak in Cassandra’s eyes.

As soon as she carried Gabriel’s name Cassandra would be ready to replace many of the vampires in their homes with humans.

Mandy looked down at her lap to avoid Cassandra’s eyes. "I didn’t mean it like that. You seemed ill this morning. I am not used to the sickness of your kind."

"Then that would mean that you shouldn’t be the one to care for me. I can’t have someone who doesn’t understand what I need if something were to happen to me. I shall replace you when I return home. The door," Cassandra said when the carriage stopped.

How was it that vampires thought they were superior? They couldn’t do simple things like open a door right away.

Mandy opened the door and stepped out first to help Cassandra down but it was useless since Cassandra avoided her touch.

Mandy thought she was wrong at first but the more time she stayed at Cassandra’s side, the more she realised that Cassandra was not fond of vampires just like Lucinda.

Cassandra had been kinder to the humans she encountered but distant to vampires. Cassandra only seemed to play nice when Gabriel was around.

While it would be good to warn Gabriel, Mandy didn’t want to risk upsetting him and having to face his anger.

"You are to stay here and watch the carriage. All of you," Cassandra ordered the servants. Before they could object she added, "I know he asked to watch over me but you won’t do well in a church. I will not be long so wait here."

Mandy did not understand the lady since now she acted like she cared for their wellbeing. Or was there something she wanted to hide?

Cassandra walked to the church alone and greeted the visitors who must also find it to be a haven. When in doubt, Cassandra could always come to a church. It was the very place which saved her many years ago and sheltered her.
