Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"I should be the one apologizing, master!"

"......" hazel stared at the figure with mouth agape. The dark figure was not there any more but a small kid of five or six years was standing in its place.

But that was not the only thing that shocked her. What shocked her was…

The small boy had silver hair just like her with dark eyes that she had when she used magic. To her relief he still had a clear pupil and sclera but no matter how she saw him, his fair face, petite face and young look was just her copy.

He resembles her childhood look so much. If she did not know any better, she would have thought that he was her son.

The kid smiled as if he could see the shock in her eyes.

"Why? Did I not look like a handsome mistress?" he asked with a laugh that she blinked again.

"What.. what are you?" she had asked the question before too but she was not able to understand its reply that time but now.. He looked just like a human and even spoke their language too.

The eyes of the boy softened as he walked towards her.

"How about we sit on the ground or look for your sister while I explain that to you?" he asked with a patient smile that she remembers about Anne and Declan.

Anne was supposed to come back! Now that the demon was gone, she was worried that he would attack Anne again to take his revenge.

"Alright!" she nodded as she walked to the ground.

Flying for so long has taken a toll on her body. She was feeling drained now.

Her fingers were swollen with the poison on the arrows. It should have healed automatically but due to her exhausted body, the wound was still there.

"Do you have any idea where Anne was?" she asked though she did not know why she was asking such a question to a kid.

"We can follow her trails. Follow me and I will take you to her." he said with a smile as he nodded at her, surprising her.

She nodded back but she could not stop staring at him. He looked such an adorable kid but she knew that looks could be deceiving.

She knew it was not even a human to begin with.

"You don't need to stare that way? I am not a kid. I am more than 300 years old." said the boy with a chuckle when he felt her embarrassed face.

"Then what are you and why did you help me?" she asked as she looked back at him. Though she was still curious about him, she did not stare at him anymore.

"I am your guardian demon." he said with a nod when she halted in her steps.

"Guardian demon? Not guardian angel?" Why did she have a demon guarding her? She couldn't help but feel strange at the thought of someone guarding her.

Where was the guard when she had suffered so much in her life. She couldn't even count how many times she was attacked with different types of species.

"Umm, you are not a human, a pure soul or a divine one to have an angel as your guardian. You are a witch that also holds dark powers. You have the blood of demons and witches in your body. How could you ask for an angel?" the boy furrowed his brows as he stared at her.

He looked deeply offended by her comment. His face was looking gloomy and his eyes were darker when she rolled her eyes.

"I was not that serious. I just never found you guarding me? Or is it that demons are not that reliable?" she asked with a tsk sound as she started walking again.

This time the boy was not only offended but he was seething with anger. If possible, he wanted to shout at her but he bit his lips to stop himself from doing that.

"Ha! People like you think that angels are great. Angels are reliable and angels will help you." he spat with anger as his chest heaved up and down.

Hazel halted in her steps again as she turned to look at him.

"If the angels are so perfect. Then why do so many humans suffer and why does goodness hardly win? Why is that greedy people have covered the earth and killing someone did not even bring the guilt in others.

The angels, you are talking about, have abandoned humans long ago!" he said with anger as he walked faster and blocked her way

"You better not compare me with an angel again or I am going to vanish for good." he threatened with a trembling finger with rage pointing at her when she blinked.

She did not want to fight with a kid about the importance of angels and how humans are the one who had abandoned the god before the god abandoned them.

She did not even care if he would stay to protect her or not. She would be a fool if she waited for others to protect her.

She nodded her head casually and started walking again when the boy frowned.

"You do not trust me, are you?" he asked when the girl did not care about him anymore.

"No!" she said plainly when he scoffed.

"Is that because I was not here for you for long?" he asked back when she nodded again.

"That was because your powers were sealed. I was not able to take the form of a species since my power comes from you." he said with a soft tone when she sneered.

"Then how are you stronger than me?" She was tired. But she was not able to get rid of that smog even when she had tried it all.

"That is because your body is not trained and you are not well versed in magic yet. But as your guardian, I have been living for ages to be strong."
