Chapter 165: Empty graves (3)
Selene spent the time she waited for Xavier to return staring at the palm of her hand.
Selene gently ran her thumb against where there should be a cut but there was none. For so long she had been seen as worthless after her parents’ death but she carried something all purebloods sought after. It was something most valuable now with all the current attacks.
Selene cared very little about healing from holy weapons. What she cared about was hearing that her parents were alive. She wanted both of them to be alive but if it was only one, Selene was grateful for any extra time she could have.
Selene waited by the door for Xavier to return with what he found. She couldn’t think about anything else and all that Agnes did to distract her did not work.
To the right of Selene stood Harold and Agnes who were confused about what troubled Selene.
Harold assumed there was trouble somewhere in the town because of Xavier’s quick return and departure based on what Gertrude said. If there was trouble which made Xavier have to leave so fast, Harold knew to stick by Selene to protect her.
"What could it be?" Agnes wondered. Selene had been in such a good mood and was excited to see Xavier return home only for it to end this way. ’It must be her family or the palace again. I have asked but she hasn’t responded once. Only smiled."
Agnes recalled one time she saw Selene like this and it was during the time she lost her parents.
"It is not our place to ask questions right now no matter how close we are to them. It might only upset her. Simply find a way to be at her side to comfort her until he returns. That is why he ordered you to return to her side. He trusts you will comfort her," said Harold.
