Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Grave mistake (4)

Phillip thought of stabbing Gabriel again, but then Gabriel wouldn’t last the night. It was going to take all of Gabriel’s strength to make it through the night with the first stab wound.

Holy weapons were more likely to kill mixed-bloods faster than purebloods.

Phillip stood up, keeping a close eye on Gabriel. It always amused him how vampires sometimes shivered like they were cold while others screamed that they felt like they were on fire.

"I didn’t aim for his heart, but he might die. If you don’t die tonight, it’s going to kill you slowly over time. I will pray for you to make it through the night so you can go to your king. It is time to go," Phillip announced.

Any longer and they would have more blood to spill.

Phillip turned around to leave, letting the others be the ones to pick up Cassandra and drag her along.

Cassandra was better off enjoying the life she had now. Now she had to go into hiding and be helped to find her way again.

"I am sorry. I am sorry," Cassandra repeatedly apologised. "I made a grave mistake. I won’t do it again."

"Of course you won’t," Phillip replied. "I am not an angry child."

Cassandra walked with the help of the others who treated her like she was a prisoner. Phillip was a terrible liar. She knew that he was angry.

"I- You," Cassandra gasped, taken aback by the bloody mess she encountered by the stairs. "Did you kill all of them? Some of the servants were humans."

"Were they?" Phillip spared a second glance at the bodies.

Sometimes a few people had to die for the greater good. Their sacrifices were not going to be forgotten.

"They tried to protect a vampire, but when the war is over, I will reward their families. You will ride with me for now. I want to hear from you what has become of you. What has made you lose faith in us?" Phillip asked.

Phillip led Cassandra outside the gates where his carriage awaited them. He let her get in first then followed after to take her to the others.

Cassandra didn’t want to go with Phillip, but she didn’t have a choice. She owed him too much to disobey him now and there was no running from the church since the priests and their followers were everywhere.

"I haven’t lost faith in the church. I do believe in everything you are fighting for. I want all vampires to die-"

"But you lack patience. What you did tonight could have ruined everything we were preparing for. He would have overpowered you and then, instead of killing you, lock you away to get some answers," said Phillip.

Phillip was here to get rid of Cassandra, but he had some hope for her.

Anyone could be saved as long as they listened to him. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}
