Hellbound With You novel Chapter 430

Chapter 430 Something useful

Alicia was quick to look at Alex, afraid that what she blurted out might have displeased him. She wasn’t really sure how much Alex wanted Abigail to know and she had spoken before she thought about it.

Gladly, the man didn’t seem to be too bothered by it.

"D-dragon scales?!" Abigail still could not believe it and it was evident in her expression and tone.

"Yes. The grip and the scabbard are made of dragon scales," Alex replied.

Abi blinked at him and then she looked at the sword again. She noticed that its pommel and cross-guard were also made of gold. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

She gazed up at Alex again and asked. "Is this yours?"

"It was. I gave it to Zeke but it seems it has come back into my possession yet again," Alex answered.

"Can I hold it?"

Alex didn’t expect that she would be so interested in the sword so her words caught him off guard. He wasn’t sure how he felt about that because that sword had killed countless lives. At first, Alex wanted to say ’no’, but his little lamb seemed to be so fascinated by it that he didn’t have the heart to refuse her request.

"Sure," he agreed. "Just be careful. Don’t take it out of its scabbard. The blade is extremely sharp," he couldn’t help but add especially because he knew his wife was somewhat lacking in coordination.

A smile broke on Abi’s face as soon as she heard Alex’s acceptance. She held the hilt first and then took it from Alicia.

"Wow! I thought it’d be heavy. I can lift it, Alex! Look!"

Intrigue and excitement were gushing from Abi’s eyes as she held the sword, while Alex and Alicia both had the same expression. They just looked confused and bewildered.

"Are you going to use this to fight, Alex?" Abi asked as she tried to swing the sword.

"Maybe," was all Alex replied. "Give the sword back to Alicia, Abigail."

His words made Abi halt and she faced him. "You’re not going to hold it?"

"No. I will only touch that if it’s absolutely required."

"Then, let me keep it for you, Alex. I can watch over it. I promise I will take good care of it," she said excitedly.

"No, I can’t give you any extra baggage," was his swift reply.

"It’s okay, it’s not that heavy. And I should probably arm myself with something useful, don’t you think?"

Alex’s brows pulled together before a sigh escaped from his lips. He held her arm and led her a few steps away from Alicia - not that it mattered as Alicia was a master at reading lips. But knowing that Alex wanted to have a private word with Abigail, Alicia turned and walked away from them to give them some space.
