Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 263

Chapter 263: Losing faith (1)

"So, you are telling me that Gabriel’s wife stabbed him with a holy weapon, he made it to your estate, and now he is in your dungeon? Why did you need to tell me of your crimes?" Isaac asked, wishing he could forget everything he had heard. "I want to find my way back into the court."

"I don’t see how what I told you would stop you from returning. Are you going to tell on me, Isaac?" Xavier asked, stopping to look at Isaac.

"I am getting the feeling that if I don’t give you a good answer, I might end up in the dungeon right beside him," Isaac replied.

"Well done. You are smart again," Xavier said, his gaze going toward the church.

Xavier sat with Isaac inside his carriage, waiting for his moment to enter.

Isaac looked around the carriage. "You are not afraid someone overheard what I said?"

"There are stones inside the carriage. It was a great addition after I married Selene," Xavier responded.

"Oh. Oh," Isaac realised what Xavier meant. He moved his hand from touching the seat. "There’s plenty of room on the estate you own, yet you have decided to ruin your carriage. Have you no shame?"

"What? We have plenty of private talks here," Xavier clarified.

Isaac felt wrong for being so quick to assume they were one of those couples who sought intimacy at any place. "I-"

"But I am trying to convince her to try making love here. It is time," Xavier said, exiting the carriage first.

Isaac’s mouth was still wide open as he could not believe Xavier was about to have him apologise. "You bastard," Isaac muttered.

Again, Isaac wondered what was wrong with himself for agreeing to work with Xavier.

He had been stressed from the second he agreed to work with Xavier, and he wasn’t getting proper rest anymore. Still, Isaac followed Xavier toward the church.

"It might have little to no effect on you, but I am still burned by it. Xavier!" Isaac called out to the stubborn man after he wasn’t given a response. "We cannot enter."

Xavier ignored Isaac since there was something he wanted to test out. The last time he visited the church, only his ears bled because of the stones, but the church didn’t burn him as it once used to.

Xavier walked right up to the church steps and felt a sting where his flesh should have been burning. It was easier to deal with, which didn’t make any sense since Xavier wasn’t like Selene.

The question remained if Selene had some way of giving him this power or if the church was losing the one shield it had.

Xavier turned around to look at Isaac, who was far behind him. "Come here. I want to try something."

"No thanks. I like to not burn," Isaac replied.

"Isaac, come here, or I will drag you here," Xavier said.

Isaac reluctantly walked toward the church, preparing himself for a very bad burn, but it didn’t come. Isaac looked at his hands and then up at the church. "Has this been a fake church all along?" Isaac wondered.
