Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

112  Worth The Risk

"Is it only because you wanted to save his life or did you have a liking for him? Huh?" her breath hitched when his whisper started caressing her skin.

"What.. What made you think so? I have not even seen his face properly. I just wanted to save him because I feel, if I had not been married to you, I would have faced the same fate!" she could feel that his body relaxed hearing her reply and a soft smile that looked genuine formed on his face.

"Hmm, as I said, you are very kind! A person should be selfish if he wants to survive in this world. You have to change this habit of yours." her body started to relax slowly when she felt that she had narrowly escaped the adversity again.

"Why did you get insecure so easily? Are you afraid that I will betray you?" She had felt that before too, when she was with Damien and now too.

Whenever he noticed her gaze lingering on other men, he lost his temper and became cool.

"Haven't I told you that vampires are territorial? You can say that I am the worst among them. But do not worry, I will never hurt you." 'I will only take off the limbs of the being you would have a liking too' he added in his heart as he chuckled when he noticed her lingering gaze on him.

As if saying you are weird. She passed him a few looks before looking at the stage again.

The boy had got a few scratches but he was about to win already,

"The dark forests of Amor, have you heard about them?" Although he already knew the answer, he still asked.

He did not know why he felt irked when she paid more attention to the stage than him. And he already knew that she was going to bid for the boy again.

Hazel reluctantly took her gaze away from the stage and shook her head.

"That place is mystical. It is believed that they have the power of the forest god and in spite of their weak and frail body they are strong enough to kill more than a dozen people at once.

Look at his eyes, you would see the intent to kill and no emotions. He was nothing but a weapon made to kill. If he would swear his loyalty for you, he would not hesitate to even kill me under your one command."

"Thump" her heart skipped a beat as she realized how strong the man could be if he was ready to attack Rafael, whose powers were unknown even by the council or Scarlet.

"And if he would do that…'' her heart beat erratically when he tilted his head and his fingers curled around her waist, "would he win?"

She closed her eyes as she realized what these words meant. How could she be so stupid to ask him that directly.

"Eager, aren't you? And here I thought that you love me enough to protect me!" he chuckled hard but instead of feeling relieved more fear started to crawl in her as she knew how ominous his laughter were.

"Why don't you try to know the result, hazel. I would wait for the day when you try to get rid of me for your freedom.

Even i want to see how that scene would unfold..!" He was seriously crazy! She wanted to tell him that she was not as lunatic as he thought to even try that but she kept her mouth shut as she did not want to fall more into his trap.

"But for that, you have to buy him first. One more second and you will lose the chance!"

"Huh" suddenly he let her waist go and walked away towards the table where the snacks were kept.

She was sure that he had already had his fill with that slave girl then why was he..

With furrowed brows, she turned only to see that the boy had already killed the two beasts gruesomely.

Their stomach was ripped as if he had a sword and the other was.. It looked like his neck was snapped! Her eyes widened with shock.

How could he even do that without a weapon and she gulped. Did she really want to own this kind of slave?

What if she was not able to control him? Slaves must have resentment because they were brought and sold like things. What if he decided to take that resentment out on her neck.

Just as she was getting conflicted on whether she should bid or not, she felt like the boy turned to look at her when he wiped her face with his sleeves that were stained with blood.

But when hazel blinked, he was already looking away as if the last second was her delusion. Yet she felt as if the boy was asking her why she had not bid for him yet!

"10,000 gold coins."

"20,000 gold coins."

"50,000 gold coins."

The bid for the boy had already passed the last four bidding of the other slaves and she knew that it was only going to increase with the way others were roaring.

"How much can i bid!" worried that he could ask her to pay later given his crazy attitude, she did not want to be his slave for the rest of her life as a payment.

"You are the empress, you already have taken the keys of empress treasure from Scarlet. Have you?" as if feeling her fear, he shook his head.

He wanted to open her head and see how it even worked. Did she think he was stingy when he had already gifted her the world's rarest gem and always made sure that she would be tended well.

She nodded as she remembered the keys, how reluctant Scarlet was to give those keys to her. Her confidence boosted with that thought as she smiled,

"80,000 gold coins."

"Ha! Haven't I told you that I wanted him since the start! 1 million gold coins!"
