Chapter 177: Last warning (3)
Vivienne stood still, contemplating if she wanted to stop Xavier or to let him kill Darius so she would finally be free. She heard the guards coming since Darius’s voice was travelling outside the room.
A blood-curdling scream erupted from Darius as Xavier mercilessly dug his nails into Darius’s eye socket. The cry echoed through the halls, alarming more guards. The guards rushed towards the source of the commotion, their footsteps pounding like thunder as they raced to intervene.
Vivienne thought of her not having a son yet so should Darius somehow die here, she would be replaced as queen.
Vivienne acted fast to close the doors before the guards got to them and went to Xavier’s side before he could succeed in harming Darius even more.
Vivienne went to Xavier’s side to tug on his arm to stop him from harming Darius. Darius’s cry continued to fill the room as he covered his right eye with his hand.
"You must go, Xavier. The guards will hold you," Vivienne said, not wanting Xavier to be imprisoned.
Some guards caught a glimpse of Xavier in the room but Vivienne would do everything in her power to protect him.
Vivienne was hurt when Xavier pushed her away so he could finish the job of killing Darius. "Xavier!" She yelled. "If you kill him like this then your life won’t ever be peaceful again. His family will come after you and since they cannot get to you, they will go after her."
It pained Vivienne to have to use Selene to get Xavier to calm down. It pained her even more to see that it worked.
