Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226: Clues (4)

"If this is true, why haven’t they told us? I would have been understanding and not been upset that they lied to me. How could they think it is right to tell us we have holy water to protect ourselves only for it to be normal water?" Cassandra asked.

Holy water was their last resort to save themselves if they were in a tricky situation so anyone who went to use that water on a vampire would surely die.

"They wanted to avoid panic which all of you would do. You’ll be safe as long as you continue to be the woman Gabriel wants you to be and he still is useful. I can lead him off course from the others. Go home," Bryce advised Cassandra.

"Why are they lying to us so much? If the water is gone, shouldn’t they move faster to end our plans? I have seen them walking around with holy water so I believe they have kept it for themselves. Something doesn’t feel right," Cassandra said, not liking the church’s actions anymore.

"Cassandra, I suggest you don’t lose faith in the same people who saved your life. It is thanks to them that you are getting revenge on the ones who took your parents from you. You have much to thank them for," Bryce reminded Cassandra.

"I know they saved me but it is starting to feel like they saved me only to use me. I can’t go on like this. Gabriel doubts me because of a lie I told. I messed up lying on Selene’s maid but she deserved it. She didn’t respect me," Cassandra said, getting angry just thinking about it.

Bryce didn’t care what the maid did. "You went to his home as a mistress. Why would anyone respect you? You enjoyed being the reason they laughed at a pureblood. You forgot for a moment what you were sent there to do so deal with the consequences."

Bryce had so much more he wanted to send to the others. Cassandra was exactly the wild card he thought she was which would ruin their plans.

"You had a pureblood right there in your hands that you could have killed and we would pass the blame onto her angry husband. You ruined that for us-"

"I did not think she would leave. He made it sound like she had no one else. How was I to know she had Lord Blackthorn waiting to come for her? The others cannot be upset about that after they lied about who they were arranging for me to be with. They said it was Xavier at first," said Cassandra.

"Why does it matter who you came to town with? We needed to attach you to a vampire and we did exactly that. You," Bryce said, suspicious of her interest in the lord. "Have you fallen for that man?"

"No, you fool. He would have been better to get me inside the palace and I would have enjoyed killing him to then take his estate. It feels like they didn’t make a good pick of who I would marry and though I have mentioned he wants to put a child in me, you have done nothing," Cassandra said, angry they didn’t take her concerns seriously.

Bryce sighed.

What did Cassandra want from him?

Bryce was only listening to orders like Cassandra should be doing. He couldn’t give her holy water since he didn’t have any and he couldn’t pass off the one holy weapon he had to her.

"Go home," Bryce advised her. "I can’t do anything for you. When it comes time for us to fight, you will have the pleasure of killing him and the others in his home. You can imprison who you wish to and treat them as you like."

On one hand, Bryce looked forward to it since she treated him poorly, but on the other hand, he knew it would be a bad look for the church to kill Cassandra. _{freewёbnoνel.com}
