Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242: Rare (3)

"No one will be cutting Selene," Xavier promised.

"Besides you?"

Xavier bit his tongue. Zephyr was pushing it here, and the only reason Xavier was being kind was because Selene adored her grandfather. The kindness was quickly slipping away.

"I know you hate my grandfather but you do not know me. To judge me based on what you think about him is foolish, considering that I have been the only one to protect Selene. Being rude to me will only upset her," Xavier advised Zephyr.

Xavier added, "And it’s only so much I will take before I consider putting you back to sleep or worse."

"Is that a threat?" Zephyr asked, enjoying the talk.

Xavier was bold, which was expected of a Blackthorn.

"No, it is a promise, but I’d hate to have to kill one of the few relatives she adores. Focus on telling me your plans and forget that I cut her. Go on," Xavier urged Zephyr.

Zephyr saw Xavier to be more like his grandfather than his father. "I am going after the men in the court who went after Seraphina and her family. I would go after the king who wanted her, but he is asleep. Now, my eyes are set on the current king."

"Darius won’t be alive for long. I am already taking care of that since my marriage will never be peaceful as long as he is around to trouble us. I heard from my mother that Darius’s father was curious about Seraphina," said Xavier.

"Those bastards only wanted to have a child with her so they could have the right to know the Everharts’ secrets. I’m going to kill everyone who suggested the king take her from her home and force her to the palace. He killed her because she wouldn’t accept him or share her secrets," Zephyr said, angry just at the thought of it.

Zephyr couldn’t shake the anger he felt when he woke up to the news that his daughter had been taken by the court and killed by a holy weapon. He knew Seraphina would survive, but what if she couldn’t heal?

What if there hadn’t been a secret the Everharts were hiding and they just wanted to be alone?

"They tortured them both before they decided to kill them. If they had ripped their heads off, then my daughter wouldn’t have come back from that. They have hell to pay for what they did, and I will send them to the devil for it to happen," Zephyr said, unable to rest until it happened.

"You can still kill Darius’s father and any of the others who went to sleep with him. He rests in the palace with all the others. I can get you there, or I can kill them both myself. I prefer the latter," said Xavier.

"No," Zephyr shook his head. "I have been watching you carefully to know you already have too many eyes on you. I can kill them myself so nothing leads back to you."
