Chapter 224: Clues (2)

"I am not against you staying home to be with your wife. Truly," Isaac said, doing what he could to get Xavier’s from his side. "Wouldn’t it be better to be with Selene than to be here with me watching a church?"

"It would be better and I don’t need you to tell me this. Be silent and just wait," said Xavier.

Xavier joined Isaac in watching the priest Lucas spoke about while the others kept an eye on Cassandra and look into her past.

"I need to tell you since you’re here with me and she’s at home all alone. I don’t mind doing a good deed by letting you have the day off. So, be on your way,’ Isaac said, hoping Xavier would take the bait.

"Either you shut up or I’ll do something about it. If I have my way, you won’t have a tongue. Can a vampire’s tongue grow back?" Xavier questioned, looking at Isaac’s mouth. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

Isaac covered his mouth with his hand. "We aren’t going to find out today though I have a feeling you’ve already removed someone’s tongue and you just want to test it on me."

Xavier didn’t answer.

"I think I’ve said it before but I don’t understand how you and Selene work. You’re like this and she is sweet. There are opposites and then there are you two. This is more than the good and the bad meeting each other," Isaac said, failing to explain what he meant. "It’s like she’s too good for you."

Isaac expected Xavier to disagree with him but Xavier continued to snack on the berries he showed up with.

Isaac looked ahead at the church where a few humans went in and came out. "I think you’re right about this. They’ve just gotten better at hiding after the war. They fixed where their plans failed."

After looking into the woman Xavier spoke about, Isaac found something strange.

"When I spoke to the woman you sent me to see, I couldn’t make out what she was telling me. In her head, she must have sounded like she was making sense but she seemed so out of it. She’s not in her right mind but the doctors the palace sent are helping. We have a way to turn them back to normal-"

"It shouldn’t be happening," Xavier interjected.

"I agree but there’s nothing we can do about that for now. I think it is good that vampires aren’t losing themselves forever. Unfortunately, the attack sparks more humans seeing the need for war. Are you certain you don’t want to be king? If I could, I would vote for you," Isaac said.

"I don’t want to be king. You wouldn’t want me to be king either. My first order would be to have you be at my side for me to ruin your day. Root for someone else to be king," Xavier advised Isaac.

"I would but is there anyone among your family who would make a good king?"

"No," Xavier honestly replied. "They are terrible in different ways. When you come from families who see themselves as better than everyone around them, they won’t care about the kingdom. Only about those close to them. Darius was raised to think mixed-bloods aren’t vampires."

"You’re part of the five families yet you don’t seem to think that way so maybe there is hope," Isaac said, trying to be positive.

"I’m different because I dislike everyone," Xavier replied.

Isaac frowned. He hadn’t thought about that.

If possible, Isaac frowned even more when something caught his eye. "Isn’t that Selene’s ex-husband? What is he doing with the guards?"
