Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297: Regret (2)

"Are you certain you want to do this? There is no coming back from this once you kill him. His family will forever be after the one who killed him while he rested. They are quite good at hunting," Orlork said.

Orlork managed to take Ragnar and Camilla to his home, but Nathaniel was the only stubborn one to not listen.

Rather than argue with Nathaniel, Orlork left in search of Zephyr and found him killing the men from the court.

"You may go be with your grandson," Zephyr said, uninterested in Orlork’s warnings.

Zephyr knew very well that this was merely the beginning. He knew that and still wished to proceed since he could not let anyone who went after his daughter live.

"Would you leave him if he tried to kill your daughter?" Zephyr asked. "Seraphina is one of the few precious things I have in this world, and they tried to take her from me all because they were curious."

Orlork paid close attention to how Zephyr spoke. Zephyr spoke as if his daughter were alive and well.

"He would have been dead from the moment he said her name. Camilla would have gotten to him before I did. I am not going to stop you from avenging your daughter. I am only telling you that you might need to be careful with your tracks," said Orlork.

Truthfully, Orlork looked forward to Zephyr killing the former king since he was just as much of a bastard as his son.

"We are family now, so I will help you, but we must be quick. We have our grandchildren to return to. Many will target them both. The king wants Selene," Orlork shared.

Zephyr planned to find the little king to kill him along with his father.

Orlork inspected the shiny weapon Zephyr held in his hand. "I have never seen one made into a sword. Tell me, where did you get this holy weapon? It seems everyone but me has one."

"I have travelled all across the kingdom, so I have met humans with many kinds of weapons. I took it from them," Zephyr said.

Orlork did not believe that was how the story went. "And were they breathing after you took it from them? Certainly, they didn’t just let you take it peacefully unless you had somehow made friends with humans."

"They were using it to harm their kind, and I have made friends with some humans, but they have long passed. There are some wise ones around the kingdom that I have had good conversations with. Your king was foolish to attack them," said Zephyr.

"My king? I have never thought of that boy as my king. There is no king in my eyes. We all rule the palace and the kingdom. Now that Selene is married to Xavier, she is also a royal. You do not need to worry about her coming here since Xavier will protect her," said Orlork.

"I do not need him to protect her. I will always be around to protect her," Zephyr said, wanting to avoid what Selene experienced the first time.

Zephyr would never leave her side again once he was reunited with her.

"Well, it is expected of her grandfather, but I hope you do not intend to act like Xavier cannot protect her. He’s doing a fine job of it. Try not to get involved in their matters. I think it is rare for us to find love among our kind. Love that lasts. It is this way," Orlork said, leading Zephyr on the right path to the coffins.

Orlork continued, "We live for a long time, so eventually we get bored with the people around us. Love isn’t something most of us need, but those who find it. Those who truly found love seek to protect it."

They were still alive, but unable to run. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
