Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Plotting for the future (2)

"We were worried for nothing since they look so happy now. She has it all figured out," Juliana said, watching Vivienne dance with Darius from the sidelines.

Natalie chuckled. "You still have much to learn and unfortunately, I cannot teach you it here. There is too much eavesdropping."

Juliana turned to Natalie who was being strange these days. "You think you know more than me? Vivienne is closer to me so if she had something to share, I would have heard it long before you. Your behaviour is odd these days as if there is something you are hiding from us."

Natalie did not mind Juliana was close to Vivienne. Her interest was with Darius.

"Must I tell you everything that goes on in my life?" Natalie asked. "I do not know everything about you like why the man you spoke of is not here."

"Vivienne spoke of finding men for us so I took her advice to have fun tonight. I was not abandoned, I left him," Juliana clarified before Natalie thought otherwise.

"You do not need to get so angry with me. I am going for a walk. It is boring to watch others dance," Natalie said, taking one final look at where Darius danced with Vivienne.

Natalie didn’t enjoy seeing Darius with other women though she had convinced him she did not care. Before her feelings showed, Natalie wanted to go somewhere alone to get over her anger.

’What is she hiding? Has she gotten closer to Vivienne?’ Juliana wondered.

Juliana had considered herself to be closer to Vivienne but with how she was treated recently, she could believe Vivienne took more of a liking to Natalie.

Rather than stand by to watch Vivienne dance with the king, Juliana followed Natalie in hopes she could find out what Natalie was trying to hide. Who was the mystery man Natalie did not want to speak about?

In the centre of the room, Vivienne found some relief when the music stopped, allowing her to stop touching Darius.

Vivienne was quick to leave Darius’ side, storming off for one of the doors so she could be alone. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

Darius stayed behind since he had a ballroom to entertain and Vivienne was acting like a child.

Vivienne picked up on footsteps following where she walked. She did not stop to address the follower until she came across a secluded area.

"Father," Vivienne whined, turning around to face the only one who could help her. "I have sent servants out of the palace to bring you sooner. I will not last much longer by his side. I need him dead-"

"Vivienne," Victor Devereux covered Vivienne’s mouth before she said something foolish. "I have raised you better than this. Many are listening to what you say."

Victor fished a magic stone from his pocket so they could speak in private.

Vivienne moved her father’s hand so she could speak freely. "No one should wander close enough to hear us since Darius closed off parts of the palace. Father, I have done all that you ask but I cannot go on like this. I cannot be his wife and your queen. I have lost Theresa."
