Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129: A new friend (2)

"This is your help?" Selene asked, looking around the shop they entered.

"It is. I also wanted to bring you here because there are stones to stop anyone from eavesdropping. Now we may speak freely and you have your big scary guard here to stop anyone from coming inside," said Francesca.

Francesca felt relaxed now that they were away from all the prying eyes. "We can talk now. Oh, I own this. It is another hobby."

"You do," Selene said, looking at the shop differently. "You seem to have figured out what to do with your time. You must be busy between this and the art you like to collect."

"Not as busy as I would like to be. I have employed a few women to work here and the art is brought to my home. This shop makes for a good excuse to leave home and brings in money. I help make men weak before us," Francesca said, confident she could help Selene.

Francesca took Selene to where they could sit alone. "I understand it so there is nothing to be shy about. For as long as I have been with my husband and slept with him, the man still makes me nervous but that is good. It would be boring if they didn’t affect us."

"I assure you that I do not need any help with my husband but if I am ever searching for something to surprise him with, I know where to come," said Selene.

"Forgive me since I was getting ahead of myself here. We are not close yet so you are cautious of what you say to me. I promise you that I am not going to take back what you say to the queen. Hopefully, you will find me to be a trustworthy person," Francesca said, knowing Selene would trust her eventually.

"I have been out of the social events for some time now so I am trying to figure out everyone. There are people I remember from parties I attended but our relationships changed. As you might know, I left town and came back only for our home to fall," said Selene.

During the time Selene was away, there was much she missed. Deep down, Selene wished her family had never returned to this town since they lived peacefully together away from it.

"You will find that many will flock to you now that you are married to Xavier. They will try to use you to get close to him. The queen also has many ladies who may befriend you and take back everything to her. You are lucky to have your husband to protect you from her," said Francesca.

Everyone else wasn’t so lucky to have husbands able to go against a royal.

"I don’t plan to be around the queen," said Selene once more.

"Vivienne will find a way to force you to be in her space. Unless you plan to spend the rest of your life on that estate, you will have to face her at some point. She has other things to be worrying about since it is said the king might be officially taking mistress," Francesca shared.

"It’s been known that the king rolls around with maids and even has the nerve to give human women his time. The queen ends up killing most of them but if he takes purebloods, she will not be able to do anything. She should be focused on her life. Why bother the rest of us?" Francesca asked, still annoyed by the party.

"It is a terrible position for her to be in," Selene replied, agreeing Vivienne was focusing on the wrong things.

Selene didn’t feel sorry for Vivienne nor did she plan to celebrate what Vivienne faced.
