Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

—--------------------------------------

The letter in her room would be enough to prove that he had forced her to take the poison.

He let go of her immediately without playing any other funny jokes but she could feel the intense eyes of everyone on her as if they were trying to assess their deal.

She only smiled and walked towards her other two siblings who threw daggers at her with their eyes but when Vincent looked at them coldly. They let her hug them.

Taking the benefit of the chance, Hazel sat beside her sister after hugging her when Vincent raised a brow and then chuckled as if he found her struggle amusing.

It only makes it fun to chase her if she shows a bit of challenge. Or else, she would have been too easy of a target, and he didn't like easy things.

He wanted to see her showing her fangs and claws more so that he could cut them slowly.

Soon the maids came and served the food. The glares thrown at her by her siblings ended soon when they ignored her and started keeping themselves entertained with the small conversation about the festival.

When she felt another pair of eyes staring at her. She stared back at her father but surprisingly he was not the one who was looking at her but her mother.

But there was no glare or hatred in her eyes but a suggestive look as if she knew more about her. That made her look at Vincent who was even staring at her and then at the soup in front of her.

"Yes, I know, I am waiting for the lantern festival tonight. This is the most beautiful scene of the year. I am going to see it from the roof of the central palace. It would be…." the words of her sister sounding distant when her heart throbbed in her chest.

The way they were looking at her.. It only meant that the soup had that poison!

Her hands trembled a bit when she picked up the spoon to take the sip but she had already come too far to return.

She took a sip of the soup and then two, three, four! But the pain she was waiting for did not come.

She stared at her body to wait and see the effects but she could not feel any when she heard Vincent laughing.

"Why are you laughing like that out of the blue? Haven't you created enough entertainment for today?" his father asked in a cold voice as he gave her a cold look and then concentrated on his food again.

"It is nothing much father. I just remembered that I caught a rat yesterday. It makes me laugh whenever I remember its struggles. He showed that it was obedient and followed my words but every time i looked away, it tried to steal the cheese and food. And when I forced him to eat poison, it still ate it in the greed of the small amount of cheese it was going to get later." he shook his head and then chuckled again when her hands on the spoon tightened.

"Huh! What a foolish act. Won't it die by poison then how would it get cheese later?" asked her sister without getting what he was talking about when hazel felt her face going paler.

"Yes, but that is why it is a rodent, its life is nothing more than an insect with no family and nothing to rely on. These kinds of things can do anything for survival.`` That was more than enough. She wanted to punch him in the face and tell him that she was not a weakling and she did not need him for survival but when she remembered that she was doing all this not for him but for the justice of all those girls whom he had killed and played with, she was able to hold on.

If she would not gain his trust then she would never know how much girls are still getting tormented by him and they would be killed just like the daughter of the maid. But the question was… would a man like him ever trust a woman?

His eyes are filled with madness that enjoys playing with humans. For him, the women are nothing more than rodents, a plaything he could enjoy!

Soon the maids came forwards and took the soup away and replaced it with a kind of pie and tarts.

She picked up the fruit pie and took a piece of it to keep her distracted when she felt the taste was strange. Could it be, it has the poison?

Her eyes snapped back to Vincent but he was not looking at her this time but her father. They were discussing an envoy from the nearby kingdom that had never participated in the festival so they were surprised that they had contracted this time.

She looked at the plates of everyone and each one of them was having a pie but each had a different texture so she could not be sure if she was eating the same thing.

She slowly chewed when she felt her head was getting heavier and her eyes slowly turned blurry. That was it! It has those pills.

She closed her eyes and decided to fall by herself rather than eating more of it.

"Thud!" she fell on the ground bringing the attention of everyone on the table.

"Oh my, the lady have fallen.'' Soon the crowd started to gather around her.

"Tsk! She can not spend a day without drama. I still did not understand why you were entertaining a rodent like her Vincent. We can use many other people instead of her.

The vampire that had come last night, Diana. Why don't you try to approach her instead of this weakening who did not know how to appreciate the favors.

Just the sight of her is repulsing me. Take her to her room and keep her there only until her husband dies!"
