Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

“What did you say?” his face filled with a look of shock when he sat up straighter and stared at her as if she was going to announce his death verdict.

“What did I say?” she was not going to accept that she had passed him a sarcastic remark even if he would threaten her about her life. With a blank look on her face she asked, as if she had not opened her mouth even once that brought a smirk on his face.

“I never realized that you have grown enough guts to lie straight on my face!” she stared at him for long to prepare herself for his next actions but it did not move at all.

“If you are waiting for me to punish you, then don’t be. I am in a good mood to ruin it over the small squabble but that does not mean I am a very patient person.

Who knows when I would like to joke and crack your neck while doing it?” That was the Rafael she knew, quirky and always thirsty for taking more lives. Yet she gulped when she was on the receiving end.

“Anyways, now that you are here I want you to remind me not to open your mouth carelessly and let them know why we are there.

As long as you behave normally and do not show any sign of betraying me, I do not care how much quality time you spend with your siblings or parents._.

They have shown in their letters that they are dying to meet you though I doubt that is the case.

I have done a small investigation before marrying you and I know that they did not love you Hazel.

Even if you have that affection when it comes to your blood, they would not think twice of sacrificing you when it comes to their benefit.

I am sure you know that since the day they have sent you to marry me. Didn’t you?” Hazel looked away as the truth was visible in her eyes.

Of course, she knew! They all were waiting for her to die so that they could use the reason to start the war again.

Their family, who hold a strong footing in the weaponry and have the empire that was on the sidelines, were ready for war since they would earn a lot from increasing their sales and at the same time their lands would not be affected.

They can sell the crops to the other empires at high prices later and get rid of the monsters that had always been a threat to them.

It was a complete win-win situation that their family was ready to sacrifice even 10 like her if there would have been.

But did that mean that she would support the vampire when the war would start again?

“I know that a part of you still did not want to deceive humans but let me tell you humans never wanted war. The Royals wanted it!

The very reason is they want the power we are holding. As long as vampires are here, humans would never be able to get the sole authority of the lands since they are inferior to us when it comes to power and ruling.

We have stopped killing others and you have seen by your own eyes how many humans are willingly supplying blood to us. Then why would we go rampage and kill others?

It is only a lie that was fed to humans since their birth so that they would hate us and continue to fight with us to save their loved ones.

That way the powerful royal did not need to diary their hands to get rid of us.

They only benefit from both sides after creating sparks.

You are only going to fight against them. If not, they would not be able to affect vampires but the commoners would continue to lose their lives and the lands would get destroyed.

War never brings benefits or glory. It only brings death and destruction. More blood would be spilled on the earth than the whole clan of vampires could ever drink.

I am alone fighting to save everyone. Now it depends on you, which side do you want to take.

But i will not blame you as long as your keep your eyes and mouth close and behave like a dumb girl they take you as.

Can you do that much!?”

“Why don’t the council help and control everything? Weren’t they made to keep balance between all three species?” she asked unsurely as she had seen him killing both of the species without any mercy.

If he was telling the truth, then humans look more despicable than the vampires who are drinking blood by paying to their slaves and commoners who came to the palace willingly.

Since the time she had sat on the seat of the empress, she had noticed a long line of blood donors due to the high reward against it and none of them ever looked frightened.

She still remembered the sensuous expressions of the woman who gave him blood as if it was a very intimate action.

It only creates an itch in her heart to try the same.

“Unfortunately they have both corrupt and fair rulers that did not go against each other directly. The organizations that were made to bring justice have many laws for the very same reason.

And a few rats find the loopholes in it and take its benefit.“ He looked away from her at the distance as if he was reminded of a case.

Feeling curious, she wanted to ask but then decided to go against it. She didn’t want to sound like she was doubting him but then who could make a strong creature like him unable to do what he wanted.

“Aren’t you the head of the council after marrying me? Though you are not sitting on the same post, you have the highest number of seats under your belt!”
