Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"Mother, you have asked me to wait. Telling me that our time would come soon but I did not see anything happening. Every plan we had made failed.

I am just getting tired of her. That witch! She even used her magic on me. She used me as her slave." The tears stricken face of Diana would have caught the sympathy of many if not for her red burning eyes that were filled with hatred.

They were in the carriage. Rafael had invited them for the coronation of their dear wife.

Ha! She would rather go and kill that girl.

"Last time when I came back, I thought I would not need to face her in the human empire but ours so that I could use Venisa to deal with her but now.." she looked at her mother with eyes burning, "I do not understand why are you forcing me to go there?" she complained when Scarlet sighed and finally turned to look at her.

Her crimson eyes turned softer at the pained look of her daughter.

"There there! I thought that you had patience but now.. Look at you, why are you so worried?" she patted the shoulders of her daughter. "I have always told you that only a vampire would be the lady of ours. And even if that bitch is not a human, I am not going to accept a witch as our leader."

Diana laughed in a mocking tone as she looked at her mother as if she was a fool.

"And you think Rafael cares about it? Even if all the nobles stood against him and complained, he would just shut them off with his one look.'' He may not even look at them but ignore them as if they did not exist.

"Since then Rafael had cared about the words and thoughts of others.. Even when we had been with him since his parents died, he never took us as his family. He did not feel any kind of hesitation when he had asked me to leave the palace coldly. Mother.. He did not care about us." her face turned red again.

Her hands were clenched into a tight fist and the desire to kill her was only increasing in her heart.

"Tsk! Do you think it is that easy? I have always told you that if you want Rafael, you have to never lose your composure and keep your patience. I was sure that he would not accept Hazel but who would have that, that foolish woman was the reincarnation of his first lover." she clicked her tongue while her eyes turned colder.

"If I had known that.. I would have planned to kill her when she was in the carriage that day.. But it is not too late." she smiled warmly and softly as if she was talking about the dinner they had just eaten.

"Accidents happen all the time. You never know what will happen to Hazel this time when she has so many enemies even in her own family. Right, dear?" she assured Diana but she only shook her head.

If it had been the past, she would have believed in it.. But right now..

"Mother, you do not know but she is too powerful. She can fly, turn humans into toads and even has the power to control others. Even if an accident happens, I am sure that she would just burn the whole world to save herself. She even burnt the black market to the crisp where more than hundred witches were fighting against her." the eyes of Scarlet narrowed on the face of her daughter.

"I never knew that she had earned herself a fan too. And you are so fond of her that you can not stop praising her in front of your mother." she laughed but her eyes turned colder as Diana shrunk.

She did not dare to irk her mother who was kind but fierce at the same time.

"I..  I am sorry, mother. I didn't mean to do that. But I hate that woman so much that I could not bear it. She intentionally showed off her relationship with Rafael to me." she complained like a little girl who had lost her favorite toy when Scarlet's crimson eyes turned darker.

"Let her be. It is her old habit. But I think with her past memories, she had forgotten what had happened last time when she had tried to do that." her eyes glinted, confusing her daughter who looked at her mother.

As long as she remembered, Hazel had always been unruly and her mother was never able to teach her a lesson even when she was behaving this confident. Which incident she was talking about?

She looked at her mother with furrowed brows when she felt the evil look and smile on the face of her mother but before she could ask, her mother shook her head.

"But you do not need to worry about it. Since I am here, I will look into the matter personally. You should only care about going closer to Rafael. Even if he loves hazel, when it comes to handling things, he still only calls you." she smiled as she patted her head.

"He depends on you. Use this chance and show Hazel who Rafael needs in his life and who he is playing with. Do not let that position go and I will handle the rest,`` Diana wanted to complain and refuse.

She wanted to tell that Rafael only used her so that she would work while he spent time with his loving wife but when she met the dark eyes of her mother, she nodded her head.

She did not want to challenge the words of her mother further but she felt that her mother was being too nonchalant about Hazel since the start.

If she would have been active enough and killed her already then this would not have happened.

``I have to find a way to get rid of that woman if I want Rafael."
