Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"Are you afraid that I will kill you one day too?"

She held her dress tightly in her hands as her eyes flickered. If he would have asked the question when they were seated in the carriage, she would have felt some hesitation.

But so many things happened since then, if she would still doubt them then wouldn't she be insulting the hands that had tried to hold her in adversity!

Could she be this ungrateful to still doubt him!

"No! I am not afraid that you would kill me! In fact, I am sure that you will protect me till the end!" his eyes flickered when he heard her words.

It was not fake words of flattery which she often spouts to save herself from his ire but these words have sincerity! A belief that he would never hurt her.

If only she knew his thoughts just a while ago! A wary smile formed on his face but she was not able to see it since he had his back on her side.

"Tsk! Is it too painful?" her hands moved towards her head instinctively as she shook her head.

Though she was feeling pain in her forehead, it was still bearable. Just when she thought that he could not understand her actions and was about to open her mouth to deny, he nodded his head.

"Good! Try to take a rest. We will reach there in a few minutes then I will ask the maids to bandage your injury! Cover the wound with a cloth so that more blood would not flow out!"

"......" did he have eyes behind his head too! How did he know that she shook her head?

The man was just amazing. She wondered if there was something he could not do? Though he was a dangerous vampire, she did not know why but she did not feel scared like him.

In fact, a feeling of warmth and security had started to engulf her when she was around him.

She was so lost in her thoughts that she did not realize she had spent the rest of the journey staring at him until the carriage stopped.

He ran a hand in his hair and he jumped from the carriage and stretched his sore muscles when she felt embarrassed by the fact that she was looking at him like a pervert!

She looked away with the speed of lightning when he turned to look at her and his brows furrowed!

"Hey, have you really taken me as a coachman! Do you think I will open the door for you and hold your hand while escorting you out?" she shook her head as how could she expect all this from the lord of the empire who was only habitual of being served.

She opened the door and walked out of the carriage and stood beside him as she stared at the tall building.

Though the building looked large and fancy it was nothing compared to her palace that was epitome of magnificence and luxury!

Wait! Her eyes widened when she realized she had said that place as hers when she had always planned to run away from there!

"Tsk! Why are you getting so surprised that this place is more cramped than the annex building where the servants live!" she nodded her head as she looked away, afraid that he would read her thoughts like forever!

She would be too embarrassed if he would come to know about the foolish ideas running in her mind.

"Shall we?" he raised her head as he saw the maids and a butler coming in their direction.

Even when she knew that it was just a showoff, her heartbeat quickened when he forwarded his hands for her.

She did not know why but she suddenly felt anxious and concerned about her actions.

"Are you waiting for someone else to come and escort you?" she abruptly held his hands as the words left her mouth as if she was afraid that he would take the hands back and would frown at her.

He raised a brow at her strange actions. Even her face was too red and her eyes were downcasted. This was not like the hamster who loves glaring at stares hard at everyone as if she would kill others from her looks.

"Are you in too much pain?" he placed his hand on her forehead and then neck when both were burning and his frown grew deeper!

"Oh my, i think you have a fever!" her eyes flickered as she felt her heart bursting into her chest when he touched her!

Oh lord! Why in the world was she going crazy! She had to hold it in before he noticed there was something amiss! She shook her hand and took two steps back so that his cold skin would not be touching her anymore.

The frown on his face only deepened when he saw her acting in a weird manner.

"No! I am fine! Let us go in!" with that she did not wait for him as she took hurried steps towards the entrance where the butler and maids were waiting for them.

His eyes narrowed at her retreating figure and then his hands that were still extended in the mid air with a cold look.

But he did not say a thing as he followed her thinking she was still affected by the trauma of meeting a witch and almost dying twice.

"Welcome my lord towards our humble palace! It is our honor to meet you in person.

Please come in, my lord! Master is waiting for you!" the butler bowed his head deep enough to only see their torso and below but she was confused to see only two persons coming in.

Where was their young miss? As they saw both of them nodding and taking the steps in, he hesitated for a while before asking in a soft voice,

"My lord, if you did not mind my rudeness, where is our young miss! Lady Natalie?"
