Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"My lord! Though the lady is mistaken, it would be too harsh for us to leave her here!

The place is still dangerous. There might be a chance that the witcher is still lurking around to see our next actions!" gloating from inside, the count tried to persuade Rafael with a worried look on his face.

He was sure, the more he tried to persuade Rafael, the more annoyed he would be and the lady would suffer from more in his hands.

What was she even thinking while throwing a tantrum to follow us! She should have just stayed in the palace while enjoying her warm tea and waiting for the dress to arrive!

It would only be right if she would taste what fear was!

"Hmm, you are right! There might be a chance that the witcher was still lurking around.

But then someone had to stay and make sure that the bodies were not taken by him but us!

Since you know the witcher from the longest time, you would stay here.

We will go and check the land further!" Hazel had to cover her mouth to muffle her laughter.

From the start she knew that he was not serious just by looking at his face.

Whenever he lies to trap others in his wordings, his eyes sparkle like rare rubies that one could not take her eyes away from!

If only they had noticed, his face and words were a facade, only his eyes had certain reactions that could show his real thoughts.

And those eyes.. It could bind you to not look away from them.. Wait! What was she even thinking!

Her eyes widened and she patted her cheeks. This had happened in the carriage before and now too.

Why was she staring at his eyes so much? This could not be! He was a vampire, and he took her just as a tool.

Liking her would only bring her death. No! Hazel, you have to survive and leave him as soon as possible.

"What! But my lord. How could I survive here? I have not even brought enough knights as you have requested! What if they would attack again?

What would I do without you?" It was all because of her. A sinister look flashed past his eyes when he glared at the girl!

But he calmed himself and closed his eyes. He could not take a step wrong when he was in front of the lord.

Though he might be angry with his so-called foolish wife. He still has affection for him or else why would he back away from his words so easily when he was the one to propose that she would stay back.

"So, you are denying me?" Although his voice was still soft and a hint of honor could be felt in his voice, his eyes were so cold and penetrating that he trembled all over.

The count bowed his head instantly with the fear of losing it and shook it vehemently.

"I did not dare, my lord. I am afraid that a weak person like me would not be of any use!" surely he could not expect a human to handle a horde of witches on his own. Could he?

If he would only behave a bit more frail!

"You do not need to worry about it. The knights would take care of the witches. You only have to guide them." he waved his hands nonchalantly as all the knights already bowed their heads in acceptance.

Gilbert stared at the four knights that did not look strong enough to protect themselves, let alone be him!

It would be no less than a suicide mission. He gulped as the fear started to crawl in. his eyes continued to stare at Rafael who had already started moving towards his carriage.

He wanted to shout and stop him from leaving alone. But as if his body was frozen and so as his tongue, he was not able to call him no matter how many times did he shout in his mind,

And in the end, when he couldn't bear being abandoned in the dark, he called him. But the sound was barely above a whisper and it was too late.

They both had already sat in the carriage. His eyes were still pining in hope that the lord would say it was a joke and run back to his carriage.

But even when the window of the carriage was opened and his eyes shone with hopes, it was Hazel who did so!

Her face had that mocking smile that was full of disdain,

"I wish you luck, your grace. I hope to see you soon in the evening!" with that she waved him gracefully as if she was concerned about him and covered the window again with curtains.

Soon the carriage started and left the seething man in anger. Gilbert walked forward and kicked the corpses with all his might.

"You filthy beings! I am suffering because of you and that witch!" he shouted but when he noticed the stern gaze of Rafael's knights, he closed his mouth instantly and stared at the night sky that was mocking him with his light.

"You did not look surprised!" Hazel turned to stare at the vampire who had an amused look in his eyes.

The cold in them dissipated and the eyes were looking warm again! She turned her head back towards the windows as if she was afraid that he would spellbound her again.

She did not know why her heartbeat was accelerating when she was looking at him every time.

"Because I know that your words were only a trap my lord for the count.

You want to teach him a lesson for showing authority over you and his mistake for giving a witcher an important job.`` She was glad that her voice came back normal and she did not sound like a fool who was drooling over him.

"Tsk! I might have left both of you since you both are a fool!" he scoffed as he looked away when she shook her head confidently.

"No! I have complete faith that you would never leave me alone!"
