Chapter 133: Weapons (3)
Xavier had one more thing to be annoyed about now since he was being stalked by a vampire with the skill to shapeshift. He had an idea of who it was that might be following him and if his guess was true then it might turn things in his favour concerning his father.
Xavier pulled his hand out of Lawrence’s side and used a handkerchief to wipe off the blood. He stepped away from Lawrence, letting him suffer in peace.
It was dangerous how quickly these weapons worked which meant he had no choice but to get involved in hunting down who was behind the attacks. He wouldn’t have time to enjoy his marriage with Selene if he didn’t.
The thought of having to one day be away from Selene to deal with the attackers angered Xavier. Unfortunately, the only person to take his anger out on was Lawrence so Xavier retrieved the dagger to stab Lawrence once more.
"I should move out of town and take her with me. Shouldn’t I?" Xavier asked the dying man. He had a home outside the town where Selene could stay but he didn’t like the thought of her being out of reach from him.
Xavier walked around Lawrence to search for anything that would be of any use to him whether it be how Lawrence was luring women here or what Darius was up to in the palace.
Xavier sat in Lawrence’s seat as Lawrence tried to make his way to the door. "Don’t bother going for help since your king wasn’t smart enough to look for a way to heal wounds created by holy weapons. I wonder if you regret not telling the king to wise up. Do you? I want to know."
Xavier wasn’t fortunate to get his answer as Lawrence dropped to the floor. If it was true that vampires went straight to the underworld, the demons were going to get a nosy newcomer.
Before he could be caught by a servant since the smell of vampire blood filled the room, Xavier got up from the chair and headed to the big window. He opened it and stepped off to head for the sky.
