Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Rumours of a wedding (1)

"The queen enters!"

Queen Vivienne Beaumont entered the room her husband stuck himself in all day in the arms of a woman. "Get out!"Vivienne ordered the servant girl.

The maid looked to Darius for his order.

Darius stared at Vivienne and knew her anger would push her to get rid of another woman he enjoyed his time with. "Didn’t you hear the queen? Leave us."

The maid pouted but still gathered her things to leave. She wasn’t yet spoiled with the things he promised her.

Darius sipped the last of the wine the maid poured for him. It was how she trapped him here. First bringing him wine and then seducing him.

Vivienne paid close attention to the maid’s face so she would be dealt with later. "Close the doors," she ordered her maids.

Darius smiled despite it being obvious Vivienne was not in the mood. "What is it now that I have done to upset you?"

Vivienne’s eyes opened wide, her brows raised high as she found herself in disbelief. "You need to ask what you have done? Is it not painfully obvious I am upset my husband has avoided me all day or that I found him enjoying the company of a maid? You truly don’t know why I am angry?

"It is not my fault this time. I did not lure the maid in here. I only asked for wine and blood to be brought here then she started to take off her clothing. What was I to do?" Darius asked.

"Send her away you fool. Must you accept anyone who offers themselves to you? Why do you make it so easy for me to be disrespected? She did not move upon my command," said Vivienne, her anger growing with each passing second.

"I will see to it that she is punished for the disrespect," Darius said simply to please Vivienne.

"Save it. The last time you spoke of punishing a lady who disrespected me, I had to worry about an illegitimate heir. You do not know how to control yourself. I will kill all of them. There won’t be a maid left to clean the palace if you keep this up," Vivienne gave a warning. "Why are many of them human?"

"I find myself thirsty. You cannot expect me to drink your blood while we are intimate. It has a horrible taste. I didn’t get to finish. Do you mind?" Darius offered his hand to Vivienne. She was quite the beauty which put him in a mood to continue.

Vivienne wanted to throw the bottle on the table at Darius. "I have not come here to finish what she started. I came to bring your attention to something. Why wasn’t I informed by you that Xavier is getting married? I did not receive an invitation."

"You were not informed because it is not happening. If you heard about him helping Selene, it is a bit drastic for you to speak of marriage. He is infatuated with her and I don’t blame him. She is beautiful," Darius said, the memory of Selene filling his mind.

"I do not need to hear of her beauty from you. He is getting married. My brother informed me of it before I came looking for you. It seems Nathaniel knew of the engagement days ago and called upon his family. Xavier refused to meet with them and is getting married today. Maybe it has already finished,’ said Vivienne.

Vivienne trusted her brother wouldn’t just lie about this.

"I do not think my brother and the court would lie. They all said he was getting married today and seeing the time it is now, it must have happened already. The Blackthorns are not happy so we should expect to see more of them soon. The families will meet to discuss a husband for your sister. Be ready," Vivienne instructed Darius. _{freёweɓnovel.com}
