Chapter 190: Working together (2)
"So," Isaac closed the door behind him. "What is it that you found which might convince me to work for you?"
"Have there been any cases of vampires attacking humans and then having to be confined to their homes? Not fools attacking humans because their king speaks of it but it appears as though they lost control of their minds. Cases the court wants to keep quiet," said Xavier.
"I have heard something about it but it has been written off as vampires having their fun. According to the king, there isn’t any harm in it so these people are confined to their homes and then freed once they calm down. Who do you know was confined?" Isaac wondered since it was a secret matter.
"One of Selene’s friends spoke of someone they know attacking humans. She said it wasn’t like her friend. It is mostly those close to the king who enjoy the idea of attacking humans and killing them after drinking their blood. Do you remember what happened to my aunt?" Xavier asked, his mind going over her unfortunate time.
"I do,’ Isaac nodded his head. "She got her fangs broken for it. The way she acted caused her great shame. I still think her punishment was too cruel. Why did your grandfather ever go so far with her punishment?"
"My father got in his ear and it worked. It is why my aunt hates my father but she’ll come around to do as he asks while waiting to get her revenge. It wasn’t a good idea for him to call my aunt to town but he’s so focused on my marriage that he misses her holding a dagger behind her back," Xavier replied.
"It is times like this when I am very glad I am not part of your family. It’s going to be a big problem if she tries to kill your father. The only way she could do it would be if she gets her hands on a holy weapon and if she goes to kill him, your grandfather will wake," Isaac said, worried about the aftermath.
Isaac would be a lot less concerned about Camilla killing Nathaniel if Xavier didn’t have a holy weapon he could pass off to her. "You wouldn’t help your aunt kill your father, right? You hate him but you wouldn’t stir up that trouble."
"I wouldn’t," Xavier replied honestly.
