Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 314

Chapter 314: Change (1)

Selene spent the rest of her time listening to what her parents did during their time hiding away, and also shared stories of her life with Xavier.

It was a well-spent day with the expected separation no longer worrying anyone. Now that they had all sat down and spoken, it felt like they had never parted from each other.

Selene saw the departure as her parents going on a trip to enjoy themselves, and she would soon be with them.

Selene helped her parents to pack and was gifted a necklace belonging to her mother from Zephyr.

Seeing the necklace, Selene knew her grandfather had taken it back from one of the Harrisons, which meant they might not be alive anymore.

Selene and Xavier returned to the estate by nightfall, going right to bed since they had been busy all day.

The next day, Selene woke early to oversee the work the maids were doing to distract herself from her parents’ leaving.

"You’re going to tire yourself out if you keep this up," said Xavier.

"This is nothing. Winter will soon be upon us, so I think it is time we change up the decor a bit. You had so many decorations in storage. Do you mind if I take down some of the black decor and put up the white ones?" Selene asked.

Xavier looked at the black drapes. "White will make the estate appear inviting. The black helps to keep guests away."

"I won’t change all of it. Besides, no one gets beyond your gates to be scared by the decor you have. Is it that you want to scare your mother? If it is, you don’t need to, since she is preparing to leave again," Selene shared.

With the attacks seemingly over, Josephine was ready to leave the estate so she no longer intruded on the couple’s time.

"I will be going with her to see her new home. She is planning to have dinner there to celebrate. You cannot stop her this time," said Selene.

Xavier had no intentions of stopping his mother. The deal was that she should wait for the attacks to die down.

With Josephine away, they didn’t have to be so secretive about their interest in having a child.

"So," Xavier said, holding Selene’s hand. "Is it my day again?"

"It is quite late, so you have missed many hours. I also overheard you needed to go to the palace. You are not going?" Selene asked, curious what it was for.

"I am going a little later. The palace cannot be without a king for long, so the vote will happen today, and by night, it shall be announced who will rule. Michael earned himself many supporters after he helped clean up Darius’s mess," said Xavier.

"They are moving on from Darius quite fast. I thought it would take days before they talked of selecting a new king. It is good that the town is moving on. I only hope that you will not be suddenly voted as king," Selene said, since it would bring problems they didn’t need.

"I will not be voted king," Xavier said, certain of it. "If they value their lives, they should not think of voting for me. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if my grandfather tried to do it. I have other things I must focus on, like our plans."
