Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 302

Chapter 302: Offer (1)

"Had I known this is what it would take for you to strip me down, I would have been more involved in the attacks," said Xavier.

"I told you not to speak of this like that," Selene replied, regretting her decision to help Xavier clean up.

Xavier sat in warm water prepared by the servants. His arrival helped cheer up everyone’s mood since the estate would be more protected with Xavier present.

Selene had a small cloth, which she used to wipe away the blood from Xavier’s hands. Luckily, it was only a little, and Selene didn’t find any cuts or bruises on him.

"How did you manage to kill the king and walk away without any harm done to you? Was he that awful?" Selene asked as she continued to wash Xavier.

"Or, your husband is just too good," said Xavier.

Selene smiled. "Yes, it could be that as well. I’m sure he was no match for you. I’m happy to see that you are home in one piece since I was worried. As good as you are, sometimes our plans don’t go as we want."

"I made a promise to you which I intended to keep. By the time I arrived, Vivienne had already stabbed Darius, so he was weak. I only tired him out and stabbed him. She also stabbed him again. It was not a big fight," Xavier said.

Xavier toyed with the strands of hair which slipped from Selene’s hair she had pinned up. She didn’t want to get her hair or dress wet, but all Xavier wanted to do was pull her into the water and make love to her.

Unfortunately, there was still danger all around, so there was a high chance that the guards would return to inform him.

Still, Xavier’s hand went to settle on Selene’s waist, which was noticed by Selene.

"How is that on your mind now?" Selene asked, letting Xavier do as he wanted.

This was one of the few times Selene would let Xavier get away with whatever he wanted, but she wasn’t going to tell him. It was up to Xavier to realise it.

"You are always on my mind. For how much longer are you going to scrub my hand? There wasn’t much blood there," said Xavier.

"It upsets me to know that Darius’s blood was on your hands. I don’t like it," Selene replied, cleaning Xavier’s hand a little bit more. "I am happy he is finally out of our lives. I don’t know what to feel about Vivienne’s death."

Selene disliked how Vivienne acted about her past time with Xavier, but she didn’t have too many interactions with Vivienne to be celebrating her death.

It was mostly Darius Selene who was happy to hear was dead. If he weren’t gone, then she would have to hear of him trying to take her from Xavier.

"Darius and his father are gone. Even when the attacks around the town are settled, the palace will be after those who killed the king, and it will be without a king. They will suspect that you killed Darius even without any evidence. Can you trust Michael?" Selene asked.

"No, but I do believe he will claim Vivienne killed Darius. He still wants my vote for him to be king," Xavier answered.

"It will be interesting to see what happens if he is voted king. If the woman he loves is a mixed-blood, she would be the first queen who is not a pureblood. Many wouldn’t be pleased by this, but it is what the kingdom needs after tonight," Selene said, setting the cloth to the side.
