Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132: Weapons (2)

"Lawrence, do not annoy me more than you already have. I am trying to be gentle with my approach," said Xavier. Selene had the strange talent of knowing when he had done something wrong.

As well as he might clean Lawrence’s blood from his body, Xavier was certain Selene might pick up on something.

Lawrence laughed at the joke Xavier made. "Gentle? You of all people don’t know how to be gentle. Don’t think I am not aware of what you do. All of the court knows about it but your name offers you protection. You are just as bad as I am so you don’t have any room to judge me."

Xavier felt insulted once more.

Lawrence thought he got the best of Xavier until he blinked and the man sitting before him on the table was in front of him. He was quick to react to grab Xavier’s hand. ’You’re not the only pureblood here. I’ve been waiting to teach you a lesson," he said.

Lawrence was going to have his fun properly scolding Xavier. He was far older than Xavier which meant he had more tricks under his sleeves.

Why were the others afraid of Xavier? If they looked past his name, Xavier was nothing more than a rebellious kid who needed harsh handling to make him behave.

The one thing that worried Lawrence was Xavier smiling instead of being angry his plans were ruined.

Lawrence wanted to throw Xavier towards the table to give him something to speak about but found it hard to move. "You. Only your great-grandfather can do this. How is this possible?"

Lawrence had heard Xavier was more like his elders but he didn’t know it was to this degree. He thought it was only the king who had inherited a special skill from his elders.

Xavier removed Lawrence’s hold on his hand. Unfortunately, his control of Lawrence didn’t last long since he was a pureblood. "What did you hope to get out of helping Ruby Harrison? Speak the truth and I might spare you today."

Lawrence wasn’t a fool. He knew if he spoke the truth Xavier was going to tell him.

The Harrisons were traitors but they did have beautiful women. The suggestion to make them repay the kingdom with their bodies wasn’t accepted. Selene was a beautiful young woman with no one to help her so naturally, many sought after her. No one could have predicted she would run into the hands of a mixed-blood.

Lawrence was waiting patiently. He had cut off all that was left to her and was ready to appear before her as a saviour before Mr. Fletcher could become her husband but that all failed. He lost the chance to have a pretty woman trap her, forever indebted to him for getting back her home.

Now she was married to Xavier and the king had his eyes set on her. Lawrence started to think it was true the Harrisons were hiding that there was a special skill among them.

It now dawned on Lawrence why Xavier might have an interest in Selene. "You sneaky bastard. You heard about her family as well."

"So, that’s why you got involved," Xavier got his answer. "You were after Selene. How unfortunate for you. I’ve come to realise that I don’t handle other men eyeing my wife well. So," he plunged a small dagger he carried around with him into Lawrence’s side.

Lawrence laughed since a small knife wasn’t going to kill him. "You forget that I am pureblood. You can’t control me for long, can you?" He realised after gaining control of his body.

Of course, Xavier would not be as good as his elders were.

"You have much to learn boy," Lawrence said, attempting to grab Xavier once more but this time, Xavier was quick to get out of the way.
