Chapter 183: New friend? (3)
"I hope that is the end of us being approached today. We must also hope that no harm comes to her or we will have the town guards at our gates. What are the chances she gives up completely on trying to use me to upset the queen?" Selene wondered though she knew the chance was low.
"I think she has other ways to get under Vivienne’s skin. Don’t worry about it," Xavier said, going back to look at the coats.
Selene handled sending Natalie away quite well. Was it wrong he wanted to see how Selene would snap if others kept poking at her with childish plans?
"What do you mean? Do you know something about her?" Selene asked, now curious about Natalie.
"It is only an assumption I will tell you about when we get back in the carriage. If I am right, she will find her way back to the palace but not for long," Xavier replied, certain there was a good chance Natalie would die if not careful.
Xavier didn’t know who Darius’s lovers were but something about Natalie made Xavier feel like he could sense Darius here. The only explanation was that Natalie had a baby growing inside of her. It would be hard for Natalie to hide she shared a child with the king if she did sleep with him.
It would be the same for Selene as it was for Xavier’s mother.
There wasn’t a proper explanation for it but anyone in the five families could tell which meant Natalie was lucky Vivienne banned her from the palace before it was noticed.
If Natalie was pregnant, Xavier wondered if she was aware of the amount of blood she needed to get her hands on.
