Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Lucian saw how his aunt walked away with Hazel giving him a last glare as if she wanted to kill him and sighed.

His hands touched his lips where her warmth was still left. He.. he actually kissed her! No, she was the one who kissed him. Could it be that she liked him too?

He felt so lightheaded as if his mind had stopped working. He couldn't wait for her to confirm his thoughts. So, he ran behind her.

He walked to the hall and looked around. The kids were still playing and the maid they had brought was sitting on the corner. She stood up when she noticed him coming but he ignored her.

He ran towards the stairs like a youth full of love that did not have any control over his thoughts. He met Glinda, the witch whom he had saved last time on the stairs.

A bright smile formed on her face but he just passed her a curt nod, "have you seen my aunt going from here?" he asked with a look of patience on his face that disheartened her.

She had thought that they would finally talk with each other. But she nodded,

"Yes, she just went into her room with a young girl." he nodded and ran towards the room without waiting for her to speak again.

He ran and opened the door of his aunt's room only to see both of them sitting with a lot of parchments between them. They both raised their heads as he entered.

Hazel raised a brow with a teasing smile on her face as if she was waiting for him to speak while his aunt fumed.

"What is the meaning of this?" she asked in a stern voice as her eyes turned strict when he adjusted his expressions.

"I am here to know about the plan since I am part of it." he said with a tone full of confidence when his aunt scoffed. His emotions were written all over his face.

Even Hazel shook her head with a smile on her face. The boy was a gone case!

"Why are you laughing? This is all because of you." Julia glared at Hazel. She knew that her nephew was naive when it comes to emotions and relationships since he had spent all his life working hard to achieve his aim and now she was playing with his heart.

"Hmm, of course. The war is because of me. But i am not the one who started it!" Hazel stared at her with a look full of confusion as she mumbled it and then adjusted the papers in her hands when he walked in and sat beside her.

He gave her a meaningful look but she continued to sort the paper and then spoke in a grave tone,

"Since we all are here. Glinda is ready to accept that she had been hired by Vincent for using the kids to collect Beryllium. but we have to hide her identity as a witch.

And Melia would accept and bring related proofs but that is not enough. I want more proof, more ideas.

He could easily sway the proof. And he would have more to throw on us. Do you have any idea, Lucian." if not she would just burn him to crisp and announce it as an accident.

"If your father would speak against him, then it would be the turning point of his position.

He had tried to prove the emperor as a criminal for his position. That could create enough controversy." Hazel nodded and then stood up.

"Alright then, I will go and inform Rafael that Lucian had found Beryllium in the dark room. You must create an uproar in the program and make sure to spread more and more rumors." Hazel took out a bag full of gold coins finally earning a nod from Julia.

"You are charging money for this. Didn't you say you would pay money to everyone if you get rid of this shitty ruler!" a scowl formed on the face of Julia who hid the money behind her and stared hard at Lucian who shook his head. He would not have wondered if she would sell him for money.

"You do not need to worry about money. I would pay you more once the work is done.`` Only then did the grip of Julia loosen from the bag.

Though she was still a bit scared of hazel, she nodded her head as she knew that the girl may have the blood of a devil but she had humanity in her nature.

Lucian stood up and followed Hazel out of the room. There was a strange silence between them as Lucian continued to steal glances at her until they walked towards the kids.

The kids smiled and stood up with an eager look on their face when Hazel sat on the sofa near them.

"I am here to ask for your help. I want to punish the evil persons that have kept you confined.

I want you to tell the world that you were forced to transfer the boxes from one place to another and everything you have borne in that dark building.

And for that i would invite you to stage in front of everyone. Would you be able to speak there? If not, I would think of another idea.`` The smile on the face of the kids froze and was replaced by a horrified look.

They were still afraid of what had happened to them in that place. She squeezed the hand of the boy that was trembling with fear.

"It is completely your choice. So, if you do not want to come forward. We will find another way to punish them. But I promise that they will suffer more than you." the boy who was afraid that they would capture him again raised his head.

He was thankful to Hazel for saving him and understanding the risk she was taking in hiding them. If he would still be a coward while she would fight for his justice, would he ever be able to face her.

"No! I would speak in front of everyone and tell how I was beaten and tormented."
