Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

———————————————————————-

“Even if I am a devil. I am standing on the side of goodness. So you do not need to worry about me.” Hazel could see the fear in the eyes of the old witch who would have faced many life and death situations in her life.

It told her that she was not a witch. Well, at least she knew that she was not Isabella then. She must have caught memories of Isabella through the touch of Rafael. She would have dipped in his memories.

But then she did not remember watching Rafael in any of her memoirs.

But then, was she really a devil who sucked the blood of humans and killed them?

Julia had already hit the wall yet she was trying to shrink her body to not get any of her attention as if Hazel was a demon that enjoys hurting others.

She had seen the same fear in the eyes of kids that night and on the faces of others in her dreams._-.

“I.. I am sorry. But please do not kill me. I have done nothing.” whispered Julia as if she could not hear what Hazel had said.

Hazel rolled her eyes. Even if she was a demon, the expressions of the old woman were too dramatic.

“Tsk! Must you react that way? Are you forgetting how you robbed me of a good amount when I came here for the last time? Have I said a word to you?” Hazel took an exaggerated sigh to add her dramatic impact when the old woman finally blinked and realized how foolish she was behaving.

She stood straighter with her wide shoulders and straight face trying to hide her fear but her shrunken pupils and panicked look in her eyes were giving away.

“What have you planned then?” What do you want from us to be more specific?

“I want to overthrow the empire. I want my father and brothers to bear the result of their actions and I want a place where all the species could live together.

I would think about the rest later. But let’s start one step at a time. You have been living here for a long time and inns are the best places to hear rumors.

I want to know everything about Vincent and my father. And if possible i want you to start the rumor that Vincent had killed many women and he is a womanizer and sadist.

Create a few names who he had tormented and killed. One of them being his personal maid, Lucy, who wanted to be a physician.” the woman frowned as she was not expecting this kind of reply.

But when it comes to taking revenge from humans and vampires she was the one to stand in front.

“But what if it was your plan to expose us?” she asked with a look of doubt in her eyes when Hazel rolled her eyes.

“If I wanted to kill you. Just my wish would be enough to annihilate the whole inn. So, I do not need these kinds of ploys.

You can use the testament of the maid i have brought and ask the boys while in game to know what they have seen or what they knew.

If we won the war, I promise that I would give you the money you would not be able to count at all.“ The last line did wonders.

The eyes of the scared woman shone with stars and she nodded her head with confidence and a hint of flattery beneath her eyes.

“You do not need to worry. Though our inn is in the outer of the city. I have a good network of witches all over the empire.

The rumors of how evil your brother is spread before the dusk tomorrow.” With her hands rubbing with the itch of getting so much wealth, the old woman completely forgot about her fear and left from there with a giddy face.

She was over the moon. With so much money, she would revive the inn and start many more. Her position would strengthen the empire.

She could already see her bright future.

Hazel shook her head. Money could really do wonders. Look at how pleased the woman was when it came to money that the fear of her being a demon was erased completely but that did not mean that Hazel could forget that image.

The fear in the eyes of everyone for her. Suddenly she felt very suffocated. She walked towards the balcony on the other side and loosen the first button of her dress.

She felt like she could not breathe as the pressure on her chest kept increasing. As if a large rock was crushing her.

She closed her eyes as she leaned on the raising of the balcony. Trying to feel the soft breeze of the windy night. It might help her in getting the peace she desired. But so many images started to form in front of her eyes as if the dead were dragging her with them.

As if so many souls were standing there to take the revenge of their death from her. She felt like she was drowning in the swarm of dead souls while they were pulling her deeper and deeper.

“Are you okay?” her eyes snapped open only to see that Lucian was standing just an inch away. She took a step back to create space between them but lost her balance and fell from the railing towards the other side.

“Wow! I was not expecting you to be this scared of me.” he held one of her hands while she held the railing from the other hand while dangling into the air and glaring at him.

“Pull me up!” she growled when he raised a brow. She was getting better at ordering him.

He nodded and pulled her up when she held his shirt as she jumped on the ground but fell on him instead.

Lucian lost his footing and ended up falling on the ground with Hazel over him when their eyes met and the background ceased to exist.
