Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183: New friend? (3)

"I hope that is the end of us being approached today. We must also hope that no harm comes to her or we will have the town guards at our gates. What are the chances she gives up completely on trying to use me to upset the queen?" Selene wondered though she knew the chance was low.

"I think she has other ways to get under Vivienne’s skin. Don’t worry about it," Xavier said, going back to look at the coats.

Selene handled sending Natalie away quite well. Was it wrong he wanted to see how Selene would snap if others kept poking at her with childish plans?

"What do you mean? Do you know something about her?" Selene asked, now curious about Natalie.

"It is only an assumption I will tell you about when we get back in the carriage. If I am right, she will find her way back to the palace but not for long," Xavier replied, certain there was a good chance Natalie would die if not careful.

Xavier didn’t know who Darius’s lovers were but something about Natalie made Xavier feel like he could sense Darius here. The only explanation was that Natalie had a baby growing inside of her. It would be hard for Natalie to hide she shared a child with the king if she did sleep with him.

It would be the same for Selene as it was for Xavier’s mother.

There wasn’t a proper explanation for it but anyone in the five families could tell which meant Natalie was lucky Vivienne banned her from the palace before it was noticed.

If Natalie was pregnant, Xavier wondered if she was aware of the amount of blood she needed to get her hands on.

"Pick out how many coats you want and then we will move on to getting you proper shoes for winter," Xavier said, giving his attention back to Selene.

"Winter is weeks away and like I said before, I have always been able to handle the cold. It is the sun’s warmth that I sometimes have trouble with if I don’t drink enough blood," Selene said, not wanting Xavier to waste money on coats she wouldn’t need.

"Then, we should get a parasol made in every colour to match your dresses. You might not need them but I have money and I am interested in spoiling my wife so allow me to," Xavier requested.

There wasn’t much in the town to make Selene happy so the least she could enjoy was her husband showering her with gifts.

"Very well," Selene said, deciding to enjoy the moment rather than be against it. "I sometimes forget money isn’t a concern to you."

"How can you forget you are married to a Lord?" Xavier asked.

Selene laughed. "I have seen many with titles put on an act that they are still wealthy when they are drowning in debt. It can happen to a vampire. Also, before I married you money was something I paid close attention to."

"I am well prepared for the future," Xavier said since he had to ensure he had riches to last a lifetime with Selene. "Go be fitted for the ones you have and we’ll have them sent to the estate. Do not worry about the cost."

Selene went ahead to get what she wanted, leaving Xavier behind with Lucas.

"Pay close attention to the woman who just came in here. She’s going to cause a lot of trouble in the palace. I don’t need anyone claiming she is working together with my wife. Next time you see her, keep her away from Selene but be gentle," Xavier ordered Lucas.
