Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215: Stripped of the Blackthorn name (1)

Orlork drank blood to help quicken up the process of his body getting back to normal while Jasper was out gathering everyone.

Orlork looked around his home to see what had changed and so far, he was pleased to see that Jasper kept everything in order. The only headache was what Nathaniel was doing now.

He was quite close to giving Nathaniel the same punishment he gave to Camilla but breaking Nathaniel’s fangs for wanting to wake his father just wasn’t going to be enough. Nathaniel was foolish to think of waking someone over the conflict he was having with Xavier.

Orlork tried to place where he went wrong with Nathaniel. Why was he suddenly acting like a fool?

After what felt like hours later, Nathaniel was the first one to arrive. He had been out looking for Josephine after she didn’t return home. With news of the attacks spreading through the town, Nathaniel grew worried Josephine had been injured or held captive.

Now that his father was awake, Nathaniel stopped his search and rushed to see his father.

"Father!" Nathaniel called, happy to see Orlork awake and well. "This is a surprise. I thought we wouldn’t see you for a few more decades. Who woke you?" He asked, looking around for Xavier or his siblings.

"It doesn’t matter who woke me up. What matters is my son being the one to disturb this family and gather all the members when he doesn’t need to. Don’t disturb everyone else because you can’t control your son. You’ve made a mess I now have to clean up," said Orlork.

Nathaniel was confused. "Father, whatever they have told you clearly they have said it wrong. I didn’t create a mess. I am trying to get Xavier to be with the woman most suited for him."

Orlork wasn’t interested in Nathaniel’s plans. "I recall you bringing me a woman you picked when the family had selected another for you. I allowed it, did I not?"

"You did but the family has recently spoken of wanting another to marry into one of the other four families. To tie us to another family-"

"We are all tied together thanks to what we did in the past and your mother ties us even more. I considered having two families tied to us by marriage but after you brought Josephine, I got rid of the idea. Why are you bringing up a plan that was discarded when you were to marry?" Orlork questioned.

"Well, the others are pushing for it and it makes sense for Xavier to marry the princess," Nathaniel explained his actions. Why was his father acting like this when he had been angry years ago? "I thought you wanted this as well."

Nathaniel knew Orlork had not liked Josephine at first and was angry he missed the chance to bring the other woman into their family. Why now was Orlork saying it didn’t matter?

"Xavier doesn’t need to marry the princess, you fool. We’re all royals. We simply put one family as the face of this kingdom. Who gave you the power to call upon this family to gather over a small matter of who Xavier married? Who?" Orlork asked, closing the space between him and Nathaniel.

Nathaniel looked down at the floor. "With you and grandfather asleep, I had to step up along with the elders. I have been holding this family together and I have been doing my best to see that your plans happen."
