Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225: Clues (3)

"I am going to enjoy the day I finally put you away for all the people you have hurt. I am not going to be like Eugene who takes your word and lets you get off easily. I know what you did to Oliver and you’re going to pay for it. The king did right to trust me with this," said Gabriel.

Xavier’s response was laughter. Why was Gabriel still thinking he and Darius were some sort of friends? Why hadn’t he realised yet that Darius hated mixed-bloods?

"I see he found a nice fool to blame when this fails. Good luck trying to lock me away. Isaac, it is time we move," Xavier said, being the first to leave.

Isaac quietly followed Xavier to another spot to watch the church. ’That went better than I thought it would. I kind of expected you to kill him right then and there. So, it was the king’s doing, What is he thinking?"

"He’s using Gabriel as a pawn to get under my skin," Xavier replied. "And he’s putting on a show like he’s doing something to stop another war. Who better to use to calm the town than the man they were just praising?"

"I think it’s working. You know now that I look at him, I see how her plans worked," Isaac said, watching Gabriel from where they stood. "He’s not very aware of the danger around him. I don’t think he is ready to lead the guards. He seems like the type who just likes how it sounds that he leads them."

Isaac started to question if Gabriel truly was the one who got the victory for the kingdom or if he had stolen someone’s work and claimed it as his own. Or, had someone paved the way for him to be a hero?

"It doesn’t make sense. Nothing about that man makes sense but he is getting everything handed to him. Maybe more than one person is using him as a pawn. I will keep an eye on him," Isaac shared.

"She’s here."

Isaac looked at the church and saw that Cassandra had arrived. He glanced at where Gabriel walked off with the guards. Did he know his wife was coming to the church?

"We need to get closer. Xavier? Xavier?" Isaac called, looking around but he didn’t see Xavier. "You could have at least told me that you were going,’ he muttered.

Isaac moved to find a better place to watch from just in case anyone noticed they had been eyeing the church.

Inside the church, Cassandra went in search of Bryce.

"You!" Cassandra called out to him. "We must speak now. I need your help for a prayer."

Bryce wasn’t happy to see Cassandra back in the church again. Her visits were becoming too regular to the point someone might start to notice.

"There are other priests who will be able to help you, Lady Valor. I am quite busy at the moment and must head out shortly," Bryce said, walking around her after. "Have a good day."

This behaviour was exactly why Bryce wrote to the others to say that Cassandra was losing sight of their plans and she would be the one to ruin them. He was waiting for their response to know how she would be dealt with.
