Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"I have brought the list of the nobles who have some share of business partners in the slave establishment or in the black market." Declan took out the papers from his bag as he adjusted the glasses on his nose.

His eyes kept staring at Anne for long before finally turning away to Rafael who had an amused smile on his face.

"And I am sure a few of them try to create drama for the lady, saying she is the one behind all these attacks." Raphael nodded.

It was common for the humans to blame vampires or witches for their bad luck while talking in a righteous tone as if they were never wrong.

"Have you thought about it?" asked Declan when he felt that only he was going crazy thinking about it while the other two people in front of him did not care about it even a bit.

"No! What is there to think about? If they want to accuse hazel they could. It is not like I could stop all of them." Rafael shrugged his shoulders and then stared at Anne who nodded her head.

"The more they create drama, the more painful their death be and then Hazel would rule the empire without the fools barking around." The man shivered for a second. He felt that he was sitting in front of the demon god who was here to devour the souls of all of them.

"I have heard that ,lady Diana have personally visited the palace and asked for help from the council. If she supported the renovation of the black market, then your dreams would be distant.`` Just as the words left his mouth, he felt the temperature dropping upto many degrees;.

"I will handle her, you do not need to worry about her." said Rafael in a dismissing tone as he picked up the letters from the table. He would read them later in peace when Hazel returned safely.

"Alright, these are the list of the people invited for the hunting contest. I have kept it short and only called those who deserve it, so that they would not use the chance to humiliate the lady. Is there anything you need my help with?" he asked in a professional tone as Rafael checked the papers.

A few of them were the names of the friends who helped the empire a lot when they were suffering. They were the one who stood for Vincent till the end.

They will make sure that Hazel would never be able to sit on the throne.

But he would not let that happen. If his wife wanted to sit on the throne then she would! With that thought, he smiled brightly.

"I will take care of all of it. You do not need to worry about anything. You just have to think how you are going to bring more support for the lady.'' The tone of Rafael was cold and domineering still he felt that the man was a henpecked chicken when it comes to his wife.

Just how doting he was? He is setting new standards for everyone.

Declan stared at Anne again who rolled her eyes but nodded her head bringing a bright grin on the face of the man.

He walked out of the palace followed by the gaze of witches and the nosey staff.

"Mmmm" Rafael only made a bare sound when he saw both of them following each other.

"Is the report ready?" he asked when a knight nodded his head and passed a file to Rafael which had the portrait of Declan as its cover.

"So, would you like to have tea with me, my lady?" asked Declan as he held the hand of the girl as soon as they walked out of the cold mansion.

He loosened his collar and took a deep breath as if he was suffocating in the presence of Rafael.

"Hmm, but do you really not have work today?" Although the man had already told her that he would come soon to take her with him, she felt like he was asking too much of liberty when he was in this much mess.

"You do not need to worry about it. And you are with me too. You are my magic charmer and as long as you're with me, there is no way that anyone would be able to harm me." she raised her head and stared back at him when she heard such sincerity of the men in his deep tone.

"I will take care of you, so you do not have to worry about such matters." he said again as he placed the files in the small bag and then pointed at the horse, "we are going to use this for traveling today." she raised a brow.

Even though he wanted to choose horse riding, he should have prepared for two horses but she could only see one.

"What can I say, I am poor!" he chuckled as if he could read her thoughts and then smile when she shook her head.

She was sure that he could very much afford a carriage and the last one belonged to him only yet he brought the horse?

If he was not trying to flirt then she did not know what it was!

She walked to the horse when he held her waist and pulled her up so that she could climb on the horse easily.

After her, he jumped and sat behind her, her back was leaning up to his chest and the smile on his face brightened.

He looked like a young boy who had been recently fell in love when she chuckled and shook her head but the warmth spreading on her face was worth watching too,

Hazel who was looking at the whole scene from the window while still sitting with the witches who were entertaining with the slaves of the black market now smiled.

She knew that Anne had sacrificed a lot and had never gained anything in exchange. She wished from her heart that this time, her sister would get the happiness she deserves!
