Mated to the Mad Lord-Chapter 243: Guardian Lord

(needs editing)

It was even more grating on Eldric’s nerves when instead of looking scared or anxious, Fervor simply had a mostly bored expression on his face.

Going as far as to put his hands in his pockets as he stood in front of Eldric staring at him with mild irritation.

"You might have forgotten but according to the rules, in the case of a lord’s death and the existence of a young heir, a guardian can be named as lord of a district until the heir comes of age!" Fervor slowly explained with a condescending tone that one would use for someone that was lesser than them.

This of course pissed Edlric off beyond words considering the fact that not only was he a lord, he was one of the lords with the biggest territories yet Fervor was openly talking down on him.

"You can return and confirm but meanwhile...I will be leaving with Fiona!"

But Fiona who was still trying to process the words she heard stunned by them when she suddenly felt her father’s gaze settle on her with an intense killing intent which couldn’t be hidden even if he tried.

His gaze sliding down to her stomach even as she raised her hand to touch it, having grasped the animosity he exhumed before his expression changed to that of a smile.

"Fiona...returning back with this man isn’t safe! Come back with me! Like I promised...I’ll take care of you" Eldric said even as he instantly began to make adjustments to his plans.

He would of course try to kill Fervor first and only when if he fails would he have no choice but to kill the child in Fiona’s stomach.

Unless he owns the child and the district in it’s entirety then he might as well fight for it alongside the other lords and get the share he already intended for himself.

Fiona would be back to his side and with the baby gone she would still be somewhat useful.

"Can you imagine? William already named him guardian which means the child in your belly were all in his plans!"

"William hurt you Fiona...do you really think this Cold emotionless person would treat you any better than your father?" Eldric entreated and Fiona’s heart couldn’t help but tremble in her chest.

It was clear that William had planned his death and she would be a fool to continue denying the possibility that he hadn’t also planned the child. This of course made her wonder what other thing he planned.

’Was our love indeed a lie!’ gritting her teeth together as her chest hurt as she remembered the way he had looked at her when he locked her up and hit her like she was meaningless to him.

She kept denying it but a part of her knew that... knew something she was unwilling to admit.

"Fiona!" Eldric snapped in a louder tone unable to continue to use the soft one he previously used when it became clear that Fiona wasn’t paying attention to him.

"Are you really going to choose him over your father?" Eldric asked with a dark look in his eyes he couldn’t hide even as he anger bubbled up from within him.

"Answer me!!!" his face red as she snapped and yelled at her in anger even as Fiona lowered her head unable to raise her head and make eye contact with him aware of what she would find there.

She was well aware of the kind of person her father was and she knew that if push came to shove and even before it came to that, he would sacrifice her in the blink of an eye if he saw the need to.

’Could she dare put the life of her child in such a person’s hands?’

’Yes, William hurt her and it hurt but- but- does that have anything to do with the child!’ as she realized that deep down she had come to the conclusion that if her father couldn’t love her and William had also used her then the only one that could give her the love she desperately needed more than ever, was someone of her own flesh and blood.

’Someone she couldn’t afford to put in danger’

In the blink of an eye with her head lowered even more she stepped back behind Fervor who from

Beginning to end hadn’t opened his mouth to try and convince her to stay since he had already made to his mind that even if she refused to follow him he would still have forcefully taken her back while ensuring to not injure her in any way.

Nodding his head towards her, he spoke two words just before he began to move, "Let’s go!" making sure to gesture that she walk forward first aware that Eldric was too crazy to allow things things that didn’t go the way he wanted go.

And just like he predicted, Fervor had just spoken when Eldric’s body bristled like he was preparing to shift only for Feevor to raise his hands the guards which surrounded Eldric and his men instantly raising the guns they had all come with.

"I’m not William!" Trevor said with a cold and arrogant expression on his face making it clear that he came prepared and above all he had no intention of getting into a fight with Eldric which only aggravated Eldric even more as he exploded in anger.

"How dare you try to kidnap my daughter again! Do you really think the council will allow this!" he raved at him and Fervor instantly responded without turning back gesturing for Fiona to continue walking through the part cleared for her and towards the car.

"It’s you that should be prepared! Outrightly Killing a Lord is against the rules no matter what! You will have to pay for that!" Fervor said even as he continued to walk away as Edlric stood there in nothing but a coat that barely covered his bloody body as he glared carefully at Fervor whom he would have liked nothing more than to rip apart but couldn’t.

He had been confident that he didn’t need as much men especially with the missile he had prepared which had been meant to take out two cars in a row which would instantly leave William at an obvious disadvantage.

He tightened his fists together as he watched as the cars drove off with Fiona glancing at him with an anxious look in her red tear filled eyes just before she got into the car.

Yet all he could think of was what more he had to do to destroy every bit of esteem she had and make her completely realize how useless she was without him.

Grooming another daughter from scratch was hard but fixing one was easier which was something he intended to do as he ordered his guards to pack the bodies together into one of the cars that had been left behind, before getting into the car.

The bodies were for Lady June who was the sole reason why although he had been shot with silver bullets he had still being aboe to heal.

Since there was no way he would continue to work with her if her experiments didn’t actually work.

’You kill one and two more ants appear...’ he inwardly grumbled to himself realizing that he needed more power even if he had to slowly injest the potions Lady June had given him which he had refused to touch.

’A drop should be enough!’ aware that with it with it his beast would be twice as strong.

"We’re heading back home!" he ordered the driver even as his face was squeezed into a frown.
