Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

The sound of drums and trumpet woke Hazel from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes and blinked to adjust with the light only to see a long crowd waiting outside.

Roads were covered with commoners who were staring at the carriage as if there was god in it. If only they knew that the man is a devil reincarnation.

Drums were played on their left side while crackers were burnt on their right.

It was no less than a festival with the distribution of sweets and music following them.

"What is happening here?" she had only seen this kind of crowd on founding day. Though they were here to attend the founding day celebrations only, it was still 3 days away.

"Your father is showing how much did he love and miss you and how happy he is that we came to visit him.'' Hazel had thought that he would be furious with all the drama since the same person had tried to kill them last night, but to her surprise, he was smiling warmly as if he was touched.

Did he forget the event of last night with this pomp and show?

"Why are we being part of the drama? Wouldn't it be better that we expose them here in front of everyone. I am sure if we present the uniform of knights and arrows many would believe in us.`` After all, the men had come in the uniform of knights boldly.

"Not anyone can have their hands on the uniform of knights. It shows that my father had attacked us.`` He raised a brow and stared deep at her as if she was weird, making her embarrassed.

She thought again of what she had said, but she did not find any mistake in it.

"How can a dead body prove who had attacked. Did you forget that I have feasted on them. If you tried to provoke your father, he would announce that he had sent those knights to escort us and I feasted on them.

And to hide my heinous crime, I am accusing them of attacking us. After all, we all are fine while they all died and two of them were sucked dry.

Who would the crowd listen to? You, the wife of a vampire, whose existence was unknown before her marriage, or your father who is a kind and benevolent king who had sacrificed his daughter to end war." her eyes narrowed at him but knew that he was telling the truth.

With the way her father had tried to assassinate them boldly, he must have thought about all the results and how he would deal with them.

She did not like the fact that she was treated like a pawn once again to make him a great person when in reality he was nothing but a greedy ruler who wanted all the power for himself.

"How did we collect proofs then?" letting go of the anger over things that could not be changed. She wanted to prepare more for the future.

He raised a brow when he saw the serious look in her eyes. She was looking like a dedicated soldier who was waiting for commands before entering into the war zone. After a week of debate and hesitation she had finally stood up to face her father as an enemy. He should be relieved and joyous with the fact that she had finally let go of her prejudice against races but all he felt was annoyance.

For her to lose her innocence and play tricks that politicians do, for some reason that thought let a bitter taste in his mouth.

"You do not need to worry about any of it. I will handle your father and all of his corrupt allies who are trying to start another war.

You just have to make sure that you do not fall into any trouble while staying there. You have to behave like you trust your father completely so that he would let his guard down towards you.

After all, your water would never believe that you will choose vampires over humans even if he would slice your body into pieces." did he not trust her!?

He did not tell her his plans when she was sure he had made a few already. Could it be because she was a human? She bit her lips and looked away towards the crowd.

If he did not trust her enough even when their lives were bound together and facing the same fate, then she did not have much to say to him either.

She could see the crowds whispering to each other while staring at them as if they were new animals in the zoo.

If it had come to this, she opened the window and waved her hands like a prince address their subjects, making everyone surprised.

The knights stared at her with gritted teeth. They have planned all this to intimidate them with the power of the king. But they have no idea how thick skin she was!

She smiled warmly at the knight who tried his best to hide his awful smile and bowed his head a bit and looked away.

"Hazel!" her body truend rigid when he called her in a raspy voice. Why? You did not trust me when I asked you for plans and now you are calling me so tenderly. Do you think that I will melt and listen to you again! Ha! Am I that weak in your eyes?

Though she constantly repeated that in her heart, her eyes still betrayed her as they turned to his handsome face.

"Do you remember how Scarelt had tried to insult you by serving the food you can not eat?" he continued with a smile when she nodded, "i am sure your father would be no different. Though he would serve me a feast but it is blood that I need to survive.

I am sure your father would not hire anyone to feed me. Though I have a girl and a knight, a person can only serve blood once in three days. Would you be the third one?"
