Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 301

Chapter 301: Panic (3)

Selene sat with Agnes and the other servants, waiting for any news about the humans who had tried to attack the estate.

Selene thought about the possibility of Cassandra being present at first, but she quickly went back to thinking about Xavier.

Had he come across Darius already? Was he well or injured? How much longer did he need to be away from home?

These questions repeated in her mind over and over again. They wouldn’t stop until she heard that Xavier was still well.

Selene tried not to let her worry show now that she was sitting before the servants, who were also afraid. As long as she appeared composed, the servants weren’t as nervous as before.

Selene continued to look out the window and noticed guards going back to their places, which meant the threat was gone.

"Can I prepare you something to drink?" Agnes asked.

"No," Selene replied. How could she drink at a time like this? "I am still full from dinner. I had enough blood then, but if you need something, you may leave to get it. Perhaps some food for everyone would take their minds off what is happening."

"Lucas," Selene said, standing up from her chair as Lucas came to her in a hurry. "What is it? Did they get rid of all of the intruders?"

"They have. Lord Blackthorn is on his way back, but is taking care of the last of the intruders. He sent the others back to their posts," Lucas shared.

Selene left where she sat with the others and went upstairs to her bedroom, since it might be the first place Xavier looked for her.

She ran instead of walking to get there sooner. She wanted to enter their bedroom and not have the smell of blood fill the room or to see Xavier weak because he was wounded.

Lucas was behind Selene, along with Agnes, since Xavier’s return did not mean their duties had ended.

Selene opened the door and entered in search of Xavier, but he was not there. She was not disappointed since the threat he was getting rid of might take some time to remove.

"I’m sorry," Selene apologised to the pair. "I ran for nothing."

"It is not for nothing," Agnes replied. "I’m sure Lord Blackthorn is on his way to see you. I will prepare some warm water and get a cloth in case there is anything which needs to be cleaned."

"His clothes will need to be changed," Selene said, going in search of what Xavier would wear.

It provided a small distraction as Selene waited for his arrival, and it wasn’t long before she heard noise on the balcony.

Selene placed the shirt she picked out on the bed and walked to the balcony door, which opened as Xavier walked inside.

Selene inspected his body for any signs of a wound. There wasn’t any blood on his clothes, but there was some on his hands, and the scent of blood lingered on him.

"I am fine," Xavier said, standing still as Selene searched him.
