Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91: Stuck in the past (2)

Xavier couldn’t help but laugh at another fool thinking he cared for their opinion. He heard of Vivienne throwing tantrums in the palace but this was going too far. "It scares me that you’ve convinced yourself that I must hear your opinions and do something to please you."

"I speak as your friend," Vivienne replied.

"I don’t need any friendship with you now," Xavier said, hoping she would remember this well.

"Since I married Darius, you have not cared for me," Vivienne said, hurt that he would end everything between them so fast.

"I thought the kingdom only needed to be concerned by Darius playing the role of king but there needs to be concern about the queen. I will make a note of that and bring it up the next time we gather. I suggest you go back to your seat now," Xavier said, ready to leave.

"You abandoned me and then slapped me in the face by marrying that woman of all people. You could have saved me from marrying him. We all know it. Yet you settled for a woman who-"

"Vivienne," Xavier interjected before she took it too far. "That woman is my wife. I don’t care if it is the queen speaking on Selene. You will regret it."

Vivienne didn’t know how to respond at first but then she started to laugh. He was being this way over a woman hardly anyone knew? Where was this side of him when she needed him?

"You, you’re surprising me right now and I don’t like it. I would have preferred you just went to sleep instead of being like this. I am never going to forgive you for not helping me then," Vivienne said, secretly wishing for him to care.

It couldn’t be that she was the only one thinking of what could have been. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

Xavier didn’t respond since it wasn’t his duty to save her. It had to be that Vivienne twisted the past in her head. They were nothing more at the time talk of her engagement came around. He had only allowed her to use his name for protection from the men her father wanted to pick.

Xavier decided to walk away before he did something he wouldn’t regret.

"When you turn your back on me like this, I can’t help thinking about hurting her. I might not be able to get to you but I can get to her. I can make it so none of the ladies in town invite her to these gatherings. She will have to surround herself with humans," Vivienne said, feeling triumphant when he stopped.

Vivienne hated for it to come to this but she truly hated his choice. If it was someone else from one of the other families or even the princess then she might have been able to accept it but not that woman.

Seeing Selene today, Vivienne suspected there was something off about the marriage. She had hesitated at first but now she was even more convinced to help put Selene in Darius’s hands.

The one thing Vivienne knew she could trust her husband to do was to ruin Selene to the point that no other man wanted her. It was cruel but Vivienne could not accept Selene by Xavier’s side.

Xavier’s laughter frightened Vivienne since it was not the response she expected. Did he think her threats were empty?

Vivienne approached Xavier so he could see how serious she was. "I am the queen. If I give the order that no one is to meet with her then it will happen. She will be nothing once I am through with her."

"Good," Xavier replied, his laughter stopping. "You’ll be doing me a favour by keeping your little followers away from her. I would have hated for her to be surrounded by them. You are the queen but that doesn’t make you untouchable. Plenty of royals have lost their heads."
