Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Lucy frowned as she did not understand why the young girl who should be happy that she had found her family was being so wary!

"Why would we do that? We are your family?" she asked as she took a step closer to hold the hands of her sister, but Luci took a step back. She looked wary of the affection, Lucy was showing her.

"Did you have a miserable life out there? Is that why you are so susceptible?" asked Lucy not trying to go closer but trying her best to show that she cared, "I may look like a rude brat, but I promise that I would not hurt you. You are my sister, I have always prayed to God to send you back to me." She tried to sound concerned but she did not know how. She bit her lips when Luci kept staring at her but did not reply.

"I want to test it. I want to test your mother and other members of the family." demanded Luci after a long pause making three deep lines on the forehead of Lucy.

"Test them?" she tilted her head, not sure what her sister really wanted.

"Yes, if they really love me as you said, they would show grief over my death. Should they not?" Lucy nodded immediately. She had always seen her mother lost in her thoughts and staring at the window on her birthday as if she was waiting for a miracle! As if she was waiting for Luci to somehow come back from there.

"They often cry while missing you. Father only looked upset but mother go crazy if you mentioned as if she was ready to search heaven and hell to find you." she claimed, sure that her mother would do that if given the chance but Luci just sneered. Her mother knew that she was in hell, she had sold her own daughter there.

"Then let me test them. I promise that I will not harm anyone. As soon as I get the answers to my questions, I will leave." but her replies only made Lucy confused.

"You are not going to live with us?" she asked with confusion but Luci shook her head at once. She had never wanted to leave the hell. She just wanted answers.

"I will only need an answer. But for that, I need your help." she repeated making Lucy frown. "I want to act like you and approach your mother so that I can know the truth. Will you let me act as you for a few hours?"

"You want to behave as if you are me?" Lucy pointed at herself when Luci nodded.

"Yes, that is the only way. You can hide somewhere or go to the market.. The festival looked interesting to me. And your brother Oliver is there too. He wanted to guide me thinking that I was you." she explained. Lucy, who was about to refuse such an absurd idea, paused when she heard about the festival. But in the end, she still shook her head.

"I could not go out. The guards would never let me go. I have never placed my foot outside the palace." she conveniently ignored Oliver from the conversation. He must be looking for her to mock her!

"I can help you. I can teleport you to the plaza but make sure to take some money since you do not know magic." she offered, "and once i will be done, i will come and bring you back to the palace. No one would ever know that you left the palace." The offer was more tempting than Luci could ever realize.

Lucy nodded her head in an instant. "Alright, let's do that. I will come back with some gold and necessary things to leave." She ran to her room without waiting for her sister's reply. She took out all the gold and silver coins she had then she changed her clothes and wore a simple dress to make sure to blend in and then she took out a cloak.

Once she was ready, she ran back to the passage where Luci was waiting for her.

"Are you ready to go?" Lucy nodded her head eagerly, she could never let go of this chance.

"But think about your decision to leave again. Maybe you realize that they love you?" she asked in a soft voice already devising a plan to tell her family about her sister when she would come back to bring her back to the palace but Luci stayed silent.

She took out a small pendant from her pocket and gave it to Lucy.

"Keep it with yourself, when I am done. It will help me in finding you in the crowd." it was a small red gem but Lucy was sure that it was not a ruby.

"Which gem is it?" She was intrigued as she thought that she had seen all kinds of jewels.

"It is the tear of the demon queen. Do not lose it no matter what!" she warned the girl as she held the pendant and changed it into a broch and attached it on her cloak shocking Lucy.

She held Lucy's hands and then they both disappeared from there and when Lucy opened her eyes again, they were already in the market.

"Oh lord! Mother would love to have a daughter like you. She would kill anyone just so I can perform teleportation magic so perfectly." Lucy exclaimed with shock in her eyes but Luci did not pay much attention to her.

"Do you want me to go find Oliver for you?" she asked in a blank voice when Lucy sighed. Her sister really did not want to be with them.

"No! I am good without him. It is only about a few hours. I do not want to waste them fighting with him." she waved her hands, "you can leave now."

"Alright, then I will see you later." Luci disappeared from there only to reach back in the palace.

"What are you doing here? Did I not tell you to practice teleportation until you master it?"
