Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 438 – Coexist

Meet their standards? Did it mean that Scarlet never liked her because she was weak?

She tilted her head and kept staring at Scarlett as if she was waiting for her to explain her statement when an enchanting smile formed on her face.

“You are neither a human nor a confined princess anymore.” Her smile widened as she took a step closer, and I heard from my daughter that you are so strong that you were able to defeat her without raising your finger.”

Hazel raised a brow. She had used Diana whole day as a slave. The girl had served her tea, walked behind her with her head bowed and even washed her feet.

But instead of being angry or pissed, Scarlet looked pleased about it. Could it be that the woman was a masochist? Because she was sure that she loved her kids more than anything in the world.

“Do not misunderstand, I still hate you.” Scarlet cleared with a small chuckle, “but I like and respect strong people. So, I want to see how strong you are.”

Ah! So that was it. Hazel nodded her head in understanding finally.

“I am sure you will not mind if we have a match later. Will you?” Scarlet still had that smile on her face but her eyes were provoking when Hazel nodded without any hesitation.

She still remembered how the woman had tried to choke her. She had thought that she would let the matter go, but if she had personally come to get a lesson, Hazel was more than happy to serve it.

“Then I will wait for your message,” said Hazel when Scarlet nodded. She gave a look to Diana who was silent from start but her fierce eyes were filled with hatred and she was holding her dress so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

For some reason, Diana looked above them all. The strong woman that could never be touched looked too pale and disgusted now. Her charms were lost like a withered flower.

She passed a smirk to the girl whose face turned uglier. Satisfied with the hatred on her face, Hazel walked away.

One of them could be the reason for her death in the past.

She remembered she had seen her in vision how her mother had taunted her for trusting vampires as they were the one who deceived her and left her back to her mother to die.

And even that demon that claimed to be her father told her that it was vampires who had fed her the medicines and weakened her body.. That was why she was not able to fight back when her mother tried to kill her.

Even if everything worked in her favor. She could not bring herself to forgive them. She was going to teach them a lesson and take their life in exchange for hers.

“Your majesty, this way please.” the knight opened the door for her with reverence on his face.

He must be relieved that she saved him. She did not want to cut Rafael but she needed their trust and loyalty at this moment.

“Next time, wait for the reply even if hours passed, i will not be able to save you every time.” the knight bowed his head further as he nodded.

Hazel walked in. it was not only Luhan who had come to meet her but a few elders were there too when she was sure it was only Luhan she was going to meet with.

She lifted a brow when they stood up and bowed in front of her.

“Your majesty.” She walked in and sat on the sofa with her legs crossed as she stared at them but did not offer them to sit again.

They were still bowing their heads in front of her.

She stared at them with a warm smile on her face but her eyes were colder.

They were witches, yes! But did they support her, no!

She did not have any sympathy for them and if not for the other witches who were suffering, she wanted to treat them as air.

She could feel a slight trembling of their shoulders. They were trying to hide their rage and hatred for her.

“I did not remember meeting all of you. But since you are here, let me hear what brought you in.” her voice was filled with dominance and power that would motivate anyone to bow in front of her unconsciously.

The man finally raised their head.

Hazel pointed at the seats they were sitting on before and they finally sat with a look of embarrassment and humiliation on their faces.

“Your majesty, we have received your decree through Luhan,” said the eldest of them. “We are honored that you trusted us enough and granted us a prosperous province so that we could settle well but..”

The man looked at Luhan as if expecting him to continue but the boy was only looking at the table as if there was something worth all his attention.

After greeting Hazel, the man did not raise his head or take interest in the conversation even once as if he was not there.

The elder gritted his teeth as he looked back at Hazel who was looking at them with interest.

“But the towns were already filled with commoners who were living there for a long time. How are we going to ask them to leave?” he asked with a tinge of worry when Hazel smiled.

She was sure this was not what he wanted to ask,

“That is their home. You do not need to throw them out but make a place for yourself. I never wanted a place where only witches would live but I want this empire to coexist with witches.

You have to make your place. I will offer homes to you but in their heart, it is your hard work that decide if you can make a place or not.” The man looked shocked and displeased with her reply as if he was superior to humans and did not understand the need to accept the lower class.

“Is that all? If yes, I think we are done.”
