Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Helping hand (1)

"I look forward to chasing them out but isn’t going with so many guards a little bit much? I’m sure they are already terrified of you," said Selene.

Selene constantly looked out the window at the guards riding beside their carriage on horses. It felt like they were going off to war not to reclaim her childhood home.

Xavier was fixated on how Selene looked today. "There is plenty they have piled up which needs to be tossed out with them. Certainly, you do not expect me to do it?"

"No, I did not. I have already planned to employ someone to stay there to clean and look after the home. You did not need to task the guards to come with us. If this many are here, how many are watching the estate?" Selene wondered.

When they were leaving the estate, Selene saw many faces she had not seen before. She also learned that there were women among the guards.

"Without our deal, tell me honestly. Are you some kind of witcher?" Selene asked. Was this why his guards could not be easily spotted? "I have heard of witches and vampires falling in love. I don’t mean to say that you aren’t your father’s son but perhaps someone in your family once loved a witch."

"No secrets are for free between us," Xavier replied.

"Yet I told you what I gave Lucas last night. You are not being fair right now. I will assume that something about you is not just a pureblood. It would not be surprising for the Blackthorns to have such a secret," said Selene.

"Many of them would not like to hear that you believe our lineage is tainted with other creatures. I am only a pureblood," Xavier answered to please her.

Selene glanced at the man closest to the carriage. "Then, there is someone amongst your guards who might have ties to a witch or witcher. It makes sense since witches do not like to show themselves and it is not easy to spot most of your guards on the estate. Have you ever used a witch aside from the stones?"

"Yes. They’ve been useless to me for many years. I don’t have any interest in outing where they are to the court so they accept what I need done. We are here," Xavier said, looking out the window at Selene’s home. "Are you ready?"

Selene nodded her head. "I have long been ready to take back my home. It is quite hard to hold back my excitement."

Until Trevor and Ruby were out of the home, Selene did not want to celebrate. She would only feel like a part of her was back when those who did not belong left her home.

"You can stand back here while I handle it. You don’t have to waste your time telling them to leave," Xavier said, exiting the carriage first.

Selene knew Ruby wouldn’t leave without putting up a fight. She had been fighting with her family since her parents died and did not have it in her to pull them out of the home today. "I will wait here for you to be done. Please, do not drop any of their blood inside my parents’ home."

Xavier hesitated to promise her at first but in the end, he replied, ’I will not."

This spoiled his plans but Xavier had a way around it.

Xavier closed the carriage door, leaving behind a few guards to keep Selene safe before he approached the home.

Instead of a welcome from Selene’s cousin, it was a young woman who answered the door.
