Chapter 94: Consequences (2)
As promised, Xavier stayed with Selene after they returned home together but prepared to leave when night fell upon the kingdom. With Selene safe inside the estate, Xavier didn’t need to worry about her.
Selene seemed to be doing better already and had come to terms with her friendship being over. It was good for him to see that she did not want to come along to question Fiona on why she did what she did.
To Xavier, the reason didn’t matter since Fiona knew the consequences. He found the pair to be foolish since they had to have known he would come after him. What made them so confident that he would just leave them alone?
Lucas was curious about what had Xavier in such deep thought. It couldn’t be that he was considering the trouble that would come if they were caught. Was he thinking of how to kill Oliver?
"Why are you staring at me so much, Lucas? Just spit it out," said Xavier. It would be hard to miss how much Lucas was staring at him.
"I don’t have anything to say. I was only curious about why you were in deep thought. It wasn’t that long ago you said you wanted to keep your hands clean so no one would disturb your slumber but now you have given me a list of people to watch. Times have changed quickly," Lucas noticed.
"I would prefer you shut up," Xavier replied.
Lucas folded his lips so he couldn’t speak to annoy Xavier.
"You look like a fool," Xavier said, annoyed just by looking at Lucas. "Just speak if you’re going to look like that."
