Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"Here, calm down." with her soft hands, she wiped the sweat for him and then turned to look at the kids who were looking scared.

"Do not worry about him. He is a kind brother. He was just worried because he thought that I was lost in the crowd." bending herself so that she could reach the height of the kids, she patted their shoulders and assured them when their bodies finally relaxed.

"Big brother, you do not need to worry. Big sister was safe with us." a girl of around 5 years smiled showing all her teeth while passing one of her two cup cakes to him, "here, eat this, it will help you in feeling better."

Lucian who was still in daze touched his face where her warmth was still lingering. It took him a minute to understand what the girl was saying when he nodded his head unconsciously and forwarded his hand.

Hazel frowned when he noticed that he was taking sweets from a kid and smacked his hands away.

"What are you? a kid! How can you take sweets from an adorable toddler? Go and buy one for yourself if you need one." she glared at him while her hands reached her hips.

"I do not need one." he rubbed his hands and stared at them for a few seconds before shaking his head.

He could not believe that he was so defenseless that she slapped his hands and he did not even see it coming.

How could he still be called a witch when he was beaten by a human.

Unknown to him, his upset face was misunderstood. Hazel realized that he would not have money, since she never gave him. He was a slave that had no work except serving her.

How could she be this heartless to ask him to pay.

She pursued her lips as her face filled with a look of guilt. Since he was still lost in his thoughts, she wondered was he recalling how he was treated badly as a slave?

She walked back to the shop and whispered a few words in the ears of the trader whose eyes widened and his whole face bloomed with joy.

He nodded his head vehemently while his eyes shone with glitters.

"Send all the buyers out. We are not selling anymore. The shop is getting closed." he announced as he asked his helpers to send the crowd out who was grumbling and complaining about his lack of etiquettes.

But the old man with a fat belly did not care. He made a strict look on his face and chased every buyer out by himself when his staff looked troubled.

"Here, everything is for you to miss!" with a look of flattery on his face, he bowed his head as he welcomed Hazel in his shop.

The woman nodded and then waved her hands for the children to follow them who were still hesitating but this time they did not waste time in following her commands.

Lucian who had finally snapped back to his senses followed the kids to the shop thinking she still wanted to treat them and eat a few things by herself when he saw her walking towards him.

"Help the kids in sitting and serve them anything they wanted.'' With a tone full of authority, she commanded the staff who nodded and smiled at the kids who were never treated warmly by the shopkeepers.

They gave a look to her before following the man as they knew he would not harm them this time.

"What would you like to eat?" Lucian blinked when he finally understood that she had brought this whole place so that she could treat him here.

"I.. I do not think that would be appropriate. You should have your meal my lady. I will guard the place for you." no! He should not be losing his mind further.

He had already made too many mistakes these days. He was forgetting why he was here! The distance between them should not be crossed.

One should not have affections towards their target. This much distance should be maintained before he loses his senses completely.

His hands clenched into a tight fist as his face turned colder. The woman had to realize that he was her slave and she should not be this friendly to one.

"I think the lady should remember who she was even when she was roaming in the town under disguise." His tone was harsh and cold and he was sure that it would break her heart.

Though she would resent him but that's okay. At least, she would behave cold to him then and he would be able to hold on to the last thread of his senses.

"Ahh, you mean I should disgrace you and insult you to show that I am superior to you. Who are you? A masochist. Tsk tsk, stop you acting and come with me or I will drag you forcefully.`` She mocked his actions as he held his wrist and started dragging him when he did not react but continued to stare at her with a stunned look on his face.

She walked to the closest table and pulled him towards the seat. She had thought that it would be a difficult task but thanks to his lack of attention, she was able to do it easily.

"Here, do not act strong and order whatever you like and from now on, I will give you enough salary so that you can order and have anything you want.

I apologize for being a fool and jerk in the past." she passed all the plates the staff had served to him as she blinked her eyes.

Damn! This girl. Why could she not behave like others? Then it would have been easier. Everything would have been perfect but she just kept messing with his feelings and how could he be so soft hearted. Was he trained so badly?

'How will I kill you if the plan did not work if you behave so kindly with me! Oh lord, help me!"
