Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"Your office. Alright. I will stay here. But I will need a place to rest. How about I use the room assigned to you?" he asked in an indifferent voice but the face of Edward bloomed like rare flowers after the spring.

He nodded his head readily and took out the key from his pocket and then patted the shoulders of Albert with a grateful look on his face.

"Thank you. I will keep this favor in mind and return you when the time comes." Albert just waved his hands when Edward gave him another glance full of gratitude before turning and walking to his carriage.

The carriage soon drifted away from the eyes of Albert  who stared at the key.

He should have been leaving already. Then why did he decide to stay? It would have been better that he would have left when the incident happened. That way no one would be able to doubt him but when he looked at the key again, an evil smile formed on his lips.

He whistled and then left the palace following the carriage.

Hazel stood at the balcony and saw the running maids who were busy with decoration when there was still a week left.

She was debating if she should go to Anne's room again or not. That demon was a scumbag!

She was ready to forgive him for his action and wanted to help him but rejected.

She sighed! If only she could find a better person.

She pursued her lips as she kept staring into the distance when the door of her room knocked.

"My lady, the lord, had sent the guest list. He wanted to know if you want to add any name?" the woman placed the list on the table and bowed her head,

"He had said that he added the details and his position in the box so that you can also cut the name of the persons you do not want to invite."

Hazel stared at the list with dispirited eyes and looked back to the balcony as she nodded her head without any thought.

But then her eyes widened and glimmered with thoughts.

"Did you say it has the name of all the nobles and authorities in power?" she asked back with so much excitement that the maid was stunned and was not able to reply immediately.

There was no doubt that Hazel was an ethereal beauty. Her silver hair shone like moonlight. And her soft and fair face..

But when her green eyes twinkled like so many stars had been scattered into them, the maid was ot able to respond at once.

It took her a few seconds before she repeated the words in her mind and then nodded her head.

"Alright, you may go!" she let go of the maid and then jumped on the seat as she held the list with excitement.

"Let's see if it had anyone that could catch the eye of Anne?"

—-

"I do not understand why I need to wear such a dress? I am just your maid!" asked Anne as she looked into the mirror.

She was wearing a red gown with rare rubies and amber adorned in it.

The dress had lacy work on the hemline and had a slit from there.

It was a sensuous design with its heart shaped neck and curvy fit.

Not to forget this teardrop necklace was very heavy. It felt like her neck was falling.

The large diamonds were adorned in a chain, all were rarely cut with a large teardrop ruby in the middle that was shining more than the chandeliers.

Just the weight of it was telling it was a rare gem. But why in the world was she dressed up so much when it was Hazel who was going to get the throne.

"That is because you are my sister. Should you not look better than me?" asked Hazel as she changed her earrings for the third time. Anne frowned as she stared at her sister.

She knew her very well. She was the one who neve cared about such things when it comes to others.

She Only likes to dress up boldly for herself not to show others and she never cares about what others think.

"Hazel!"

"Anne!" They both stared at each other ending with Anne taking a deep sigh of defeat and shaking her head when Hazel chuckled.

"You are too adorable." Anne still wanted to rest.

She didn't care about this coronation at all. She wanted to close her eyes and take a rest but she knew that Hazel would not let her go.

And she did not want to hurt the feelings of Hazel on her special day.

"Just stop it! We are getting late." she said when she placed the tiara on her head.

Hazel sighed but nodded her head.

She could see the worry in the eyes of maids too who were staring at her.

"Alright but shall we leave just like that?" asked Hazel as she looked around, "i thought he was coming to escort me" she stared at the door from where she could see the arriving guests.

The party had yet not started yet the room was full of guests.

Not even the nobles, but also some selected commoners, some rich merchants, envoys of the foreign land and witches had come to attend the event with vampires.

"This day is going to be recorded in the books of history. A witch with the blood of a demon that was born in a human family and married to a vampire is going to rule the land. I wonder what change it brought to the world!" Anne sighed as she looked at the different species of guests in the room.

"Hmm, all I want is peace. As long as they do not fight in vain. I will take it as a success. Will we leave now?" She raised her hands for Anne to hold, who chuckled but took the offer and entangled her hand with her sisters.

"Now that we are going to the party. Tell me who is the one you have chosen?"
