Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Awaited confession (2)

"What are you doing, Harold? Is there something you can’t reach?"

Harold sat up upon hearing Xavier’s voice. "Welcome home, Lord Blackthorn. I was tidying the room."

Xavier quickly unbuttoned his shirt to dispose of it before Selene found him. Isaac’s shirt did not suit him so Sleene was bound to know something was off. "I see that. You are quite low today. Is there something under the bed that catches your interest?"

"There are boxes, Milord. They are placed in an order that isn’t pleasing to the eye. If I could simply arrange them better," Harold said as then he would be able to relax. How could they just be thrown around without some order to it?

"Boxes? It must be Selene’s doing. I hope you haven’t ruined a surprise for me. Be quick to arrange them so it doesn’t bother you all day and then leave them before Selene finds out you troubled them. Are you certain there isn’t a cure for your obsession for everything to be in order?" Xavier asked, willing to pay for the solution.

"I am happy this way. It keeps the estate running well. Must I keep looking under the bed to arrange the lady’s things?" Harold questioned, hoping it wouldn’t be so forever. There were better places to hide gifts for Xavier.

"I do not know. How did you find that she was keeping something there?" Xavier wondered, growing more curious about what Selene was trying to hide. "Do you always look under the bed?"

Xavier went to Harold’s side just before he could slide the boxes back under the bed.

"They were placed close to the front of the bed so it was easy to spot when I first entered. Your bed is quite high. Are you certain it is safe for the lady to lay on? And should I place longer bedding for the lady to hide her things from your sight?" Harold wondered.

Harold didn’t want Xavier to find any more of Selene’s surprises and now, he wished he could have left the boxes alone and not needed to arrange them. "Lord Blackthorn!" He exclaimed after Xavier took a box from under the bed. "You mustn’t look. They were placed there for a reason."

Xavier still opened the box. "I didn’t know you could get so loud, Harold. If she didn’t want it to be found then it should be hidden better. Is that not fair?"

"Milord," Harold said, reaching for the box to take it from Xavier’s hands. "You must put it back."

Xavier put back the box, no longer needing it since he got a good look at the inside. "I’ve lost you to Selene. It is a sad day."

"You have not lost me. I am doing the lady and you a favour by returning it as it was. Perhaps if the room she uses by herself had more shelves, the lady would not have to go so far as to put these boxes under a bed," said Harold.

Xavier felt like Harold was scolding him for it. "Then have it done by the end of tomorrow. Your presence isn’t needed here anymore Harold and I have already seen what is inside the box. It seems my wife had a very good day out."

Had Xavier known she was having that much fun, he would have joined her on the ride home.

Harold sighed. When Selene found out they knew about her boxes, he had to apologise. Sometimes it would be better if he didn’t notice anything out of place. "I will get some blood for you to drink. I didn’t get the chance to show the lady it but a letter was sent for you by the palace. I believe it is from the princess."

"Get rid of it. I don’t care how you do it," Xavier replied. He didn’t have time to deal with a spoiled princess who believed he belonged to her. "Throw away anything sent from the princess. Be quick if it is addressed to Selene."

"No, you are not," Xavier disagreed with her claim. "At least not to me. I don’t want you to turn into a good liar. I want you to remain as you are now." _{freewёbnoνel.com}
