Chapter 122: Helping hand (1)
"I look forward to chasing them out but isn’t going with so many guards a little bit much? I’m sure they are already terrified of you," said Selene.
Selene constantly looked out the window at the guards riding beside their carriage on horses. It felt like they were going off to war not to reclaim her childhood home.
Xavier was fixated on how Selene looked today. "There is plenty they have piled up which needs to be tossed out with them. Certainly, you do not expect me to do it?"
"No, I did not. I have already planned to employ someone to stay there to clean and look after the home. You did not need to task the guards to come with us. If this many are here, how many are watching the estate?" Selene wondered.
When they were leaving the estate, Selene saw many faces she had not seen before. She also learned that there were women among the guards.
"Without our deal, tell me honestly. Are you some kind of witcher?" Selene asked. Was this why his guards could not be easily spotted? "I have heard of witches and vampires falling in love. I don’t mean to say that you aren’t your father’s son but perhaps someone in your family once loved a witch."
"No secrets are for free between us," Xavier replied.
"Yet I told you what I gave Lucas last night. You are not being fair right now. I will assume that something about you is not just a pureblood. It would not be surprising for the Blackthorns to have such a secret," said Selene.
"Many of them would not like to hear that you believe our lineage is tainted with other creatures. I am only a pureblood," Xavier answered to please her.
