Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 298

Chapter 298: Regret (3)

"There are no guards here. Your son has ruined the palace just as you ruined it when you ruled. Know that your death is a result of your actions regarding my daughter. Seraphina was innocent," Zephyr said, pushing the sword down into Dorian’s chest.

He could not wait a second longer in case Dorian regained his strength and there would be a long chase around the palace to catch Dorian.

Dorian grabbed the sword sticking out of his chest. It was painful, like his body had caught fire.

Where had Zephyr come from now? Where was he all those years ago?

Had Dorian known Zephyr was still around, he would have questioned him too.

"You!" Dorian spat, blood dripping from his mouth.

Just a little longer, and he would rise to kill these men, then find his incompetent son, who didn’t know how to properly guard a room.

Dorian tried to pull the sword out of his chest. "You should have let her come to my side, but you foolishly thought it was best for her to be with a Harrison over me. No matter what, we shall find your secrets. We will find them and take them for ourselves."

Dorian was still certain that the Everharts were hiding something big, and it was so big that it wasn’t going to stay a secret forever.

"Killing me isn’t going to stop the others from finding out what that secret is. We’re going to get our hands on it even if we have to slaughter your entire family," said Dorian.

Zephyr placed his hand on the sword again, pushing it down to ruin Dorian’s efforts to pull it out.

Dorian’s eyes squeezed shut, his groans filling the room. Zephyr should have been long killed for having a holy weapon in his possession. Only the palace or the five families should have these weapons in their possession, since they were so dangerous.

Dorian looked at Orlork as the one responsible for Zephyr getting away with what he was doing. He always knew that the Blackthorns would be the family to betray everyone else.

"You are a traitor. You are one of us, yet you are helping him to kill a royal. You must help us to find what secrets the Everharts hold and kill them for what he has done to me. Why are you helping him?" Dorian asked, curious as to what he missed during his slumber.

Was Darius still king?

"I never agreed to go digging around into anyone’s secrets, and we’re not sheep. The Blackthorns do not need to join in on what everyone else does with their time. Besides, we are family now," Orlork said, managing to upset Zephyr and Dorian at the same time.

Dorian wasn’t happy to hear that Zephyr had allowed someone from the Blackthorns to marry into his family when he had been so difficult when it came to Seraphina. This all could have been avoided had Zephyr not been against his advances to Seraphina.

Dorian laughed, which soon turned into a coughing fit with more blood flowing out of his mouth.

Zephyr yanked the sword back, creating a bigger wound before he finally pulled the sword out of Dorian. They didn’t have much time left to be here without getting caught.

Zephyr closed the coffin, letting Dorian be in darkness in his final moments. The scent of blood filled the room, so anyone who walked in would know there was death here.
