Chapter 207: Guests (2)
"Why do you think I would know about his father liking Selene’s mother? How long do you think I have been in the palace? I am not that much older than you," said Isaac.
"Really?" Xavier replied, surprised.
Isaac closed his eyes, counting to ten so he wouldn’t snap. "Why must you keep doing this to me?"
"Because you make it too easy for me to tease you. You must have heard something about it at one point. Are you certain there was enough proof her family wanted to kill the king or did the evidence sound put together by the court?" Xavier asked again.
"I know as much as the town knows. The court has wrapped up that case and put away everything concerning it. I was never the one who had to question them or deal with their punishment. It would take something new coming up to open that case and see what they found then," Isaac replied.
"I am curious about something," Isaac said, sitting before Xavier. "The five families had to vote on what would happen to her family. That means the Blackthorns had to vote to kill them. Does she know that?"
"I do not know if she does. If she didn’t and she finds out at some point, I wasn’t the one who voted on it. It would have been the elders or my father. Are you concerned she might be angry with me or are you trying to help me avoid an argument?" Xavier wondered.
"Neither. I was simply curious. You are lucky you weren’t involved in it since you are now married to her. It would be too risky for me to get my hands on anything concerning her family, and asking about Darius’s father would get the king’s attention. I’m sorry," Isaac apologised for not being much help.
"Isn’t there someone you could speak to about it? My mother was the one who informed me about this so there must be some truth to it. Someone must know why the king was interested in Lady Harrison.
