Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253: Gabriel’s mistake (3)

Gabriel walked over to Morgana’s side so he could see the state she was in. "Are you hurt, princess?"

Morgana rolled her eyes. Out of everyone she could have been stuck beside, why did it have to be this man?

"I am a pureblood. I will heal from anything he tries to do to me. You should be more concerned about yourself. It already reeks of blood here, but now I am forced to smell your blood. How long does it take you creatures to heal?" Morgana asked, scrunching up her nose.

Morgana wished Xavier would just kill Gabriel instead of wasting space.

"It will take long before I am healed unless I am seen by a palace doctor," said Gabriel.

Morgana laughed at Gabriel thinking he would be treated in the palace. Darius would never allow it.

Morgana wiped the tears from her eyes. "You didn’t get to know my brother well. I hope you aren’t thinking my brother will rescue you. If my brother comes, it will only be to get he takes. You are useless since you lost to Xavier, and your body smells like it is rotting."

"I am now the captain of the town guards, princess. I am no longer just the hero you heard of, and I am working close to the king. I am helping him with a great task," Gabriel said, not taking Morgana’s words to heart since she wasn’t around him enough.

Morgana looked around the dungeon Gabriel found himself alongside her. "When my brother gave you a task, trust and believe the moment you ended up here, you became someone he wanted to dispose of. You don’t know him."

Morgana closed her eyes, trying to get some sleep. She quickly grew tired of speaking to Gabriel. She was only grateful for his presence here so Xavier could focus on Gabriel and leave her alone.

"I know the king wouldn’t come only for me, but he wouldn’t leave me behind once he notices I am here. I have something he must hear concerning the attacks. If the king is successful in reaching you, you must promise to take me with you," said Gabriel.

"Very well," Morgana agreed, but she didn’t intend to keep the promise.

Gabriel started to have a little faith that he could get out of this alive. There was still hope for him after all.

With the princess by his side, Gabriel went back to looking around the dungeon. He counted how many guards were present and searched for ways out.

He wasn’t destined to die like this. There were still great things for him to achieve and be applauded for.

Morgana sighed, annoyed by all the noise Gabriel was making. She should be grateful to not only be hearing the sounds being made by rats, but somehow, Gabriel was even more annoying than the filthy creatures.

"There isn’t a way out, so please sit and wait for when he returns. I have had trouble going to sleep, but I managed to do it just before they brought you here. I need to rest," Morgana said, on the verge of snapping if she didn’t get to sleep.
