Chapter 154: News of a baby (3)

Jasper dusted off his clothes. "I didn’t mean to disturb you. I was only following what my master wanted. He would not like to know the others have attacked you or your wife. I should be thanked for taking care of the other one following you. Nasty little fellow."

"Other one?" Xavier asked. _{freewebnøvel.com}

"The other shifter. I know that one to serve the king’s family. Well, he wasn’t following you. It was your wife," Jasper said since Xavier wasn’t around that time. "She’s got someone following her when she’s out of your estate. I wanted to know why so I could pass it on to the master."

Xavier wasn’t surprised to hear Darius would go so far. Between Vivienne and Darius, Xavier would place his money on Darius to be the one behind this.

"Like my wife said, you might be of some use to us," Xavier said, now seeing why Jasper was kept around.

Jasper didn’t like the sound of this. This was the same man who not long ago wanted to feed him to a cat. His life was already in danger from Xavier’s guards sensing his presence on the estate and trying to kill him.

"When did my grandfather tell you to wake him?" Xavier asked, curious about what his grandfather was waiting for.

"He gave me four reasons to wake him. If the king dies, if conflict within the family gets out of hand, if his father wakes and the most important one is if you are close to having a child," Jasper answered.

This annoyed Xavier for two reasons. One, his grandfather was too invested in matters which shouldn’t concern him and Jasper had interrupted what needed to be done to have a child.

"Jasper, you never want to disappoint your master, right?" Xavier asked.

"Never," Jasper replied, shaking his head. "I always do as my master asks."

"Then, do you know how babies are made?" Xavier questioned, doubting Jasper knew. Jasper was many years older than Xavier but Jasper often acted like a child. Was it because Jasper was always terrified?

Jasper was insulted Xavier had to ask. "Of course I do. I’ve been with women far before you existed. If you need some advice, I am the one to speak to."

Xavier returned to pour himself some more wine. "So, my grandfather would have every reason to be angry when he learns you interrupted my time with my wife."

"Well," Jasper started but couldn’t finish. It would be terrible for him if his master believed he was the reason why Xavier was so behind in having a child. Strangely, the master was quite interested in becoming a great-grandfather.

Despite spending so much time beside his master, Jasper was yet to figure out if his master wanted to hear news of a child from Xavier because he wanted to see if the child inherited Xavier’s power or if he simply wanted to be a great-grandfather. It seemed to be both.

"The second you see me alive with my wife, you need to flap your little wings to get far away from us and if I have to witness my wife uncomfortable in our home because she is afraid you will be at one of the windows, I will feed you to my hounds while you are still alive. Do we understand each other?" Xavier asked.

Jasper nodded his head, just thankful to be alive. He was knocking on death’s doors without realising it. However, Jasper realised something important. What was told to him by the other servants was wrong.
