Chapter 107: Backstabbed (5)
Darius returned to the palace as if he hadn’t stormed out after what Vivienne told him. He had long calmed down and was ready to see her again.
By now, Vivienne should have gotten rid of the ridiculous idea of wanting two men at her side. Darius thought of speaking to her father to have him talk some sense into her.
Giving him one son wasn’t enough since Darius wanted to have many more children with Vivienne. Starting with a second son and then many daughters who could marry the sons of powerful men around the kingdom.
Vivienne was living in a fantasy world if she believed she could have lovers. She was his and his alone.
On his way to meet with Vivienne, Darius spotted the man he knew was quite close to Xavier though he liked to deny it.
Darius walked in a way that would block Isaac’s path so he had no choice but to speak. "In a hurry to be somewhere?" He asked.
Isaac felt his whole day was ruined now that he crossed paths with the king. "I am on my way out to check an attack that happened last night. I will provide a report to be sent to you as soon as I gather everything. If you would excuse me."
"I am curious what I have done to make you try to be so quick to get away from me. I have always tried to get close to you. How you have found a friendship in Xavier but avoid me is a mystery," said Darius.
"Lord Blackthorn is a well-respected man but we are hardly friends. We have not changed to be friends since the last time we spoke so there wouldn’t be any help to you approaching me for him," Isaac said for what might be the hundredth time.
