Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255: Grabriel’s mistake (5)

Xavier made it out of the dungeon just in time for Selene to return with Lucas.

"Can you tell me why you suddenly wanted me to go on a horse ride? A ride I thought we were to do together so you could give me a better tour of the estate. What are you hiding?" Selene questioned, sensing something was happening.

"Leave us, Lucas. Listen to news about the church," Xavier said, sending off Lucas first. "We had a visit from Gabriel. He wanted to speak to you, but I didn’t allow it. It seems he is realising what he lost from his actions. There is no doubt he wants you back."

Selene laughed since it could only be a joke, but when Xavier didn’t laugh, she stopped. "He cannot be serious. Why now would he want me back? Why does he think there would ever be a chance for him?"

Selene felt uncomfortable hearing Gabriel wanted to speak to her.

"I feel like I would be sick just from hearing this," Selene muttered.

Selene’s marriage with Xavier was going so well that she forgot all about her plans to get revenge against Gabriel. She had left Gabriel to ruin himself, and now, he suddenly wanted to come back into her life.

Why couldn’t she get a break?

"I should have known something like this would happen. It’s just one thing after the other to ruin our time. Thank you for sending him off. You did send him off, right?" Selene asked, confused by Xavier’s reaction. "Is he here in the dungeon?"

"It is the one place I would allow him to be. He is receiving a welcoming gift along with the princess. I don’t suggest you meet with him now since it looks like he was stabbed with a holy weapon. He’s fighting it, but he’s still slowly dying," Xavier shared.

"Good. He deserves it for all the misery he has caused me, but I don’t understand. Were you the one who stabbed him, or did someone else?" Selene asked.

"Come with me." Xavier held Selene’s hand so they could return to their room.

Selene felt nervous about what Xavier had to share with her.

When they entered their bedroom, Xavier took Selene to the bed so she could have a seat.

"Either Cassandra or the priest she meets with was the one who stabbed him. It wasn’t me since I was out meeting your grandfather, and then I spent the other hours with you. He brought an enemy to this town," said Xavier.

Xavier continued, "They were always here, but I believe they set her up with him for a reason, and he was so blind with anger concerning your marriage that he didn’t notice it. I am willing to bet he didn’t look into her family before bringing her here."

"As much as I would like to place all the blame on him and watch the status he cherishes so much fade away, we cannot. There must be others like him with those who have been attacking vampires placed at their side. It is dangerous if they were placed at the side of who is in the palace," Selene said, thinking about the other dangers. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}
