Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

In the end, none of the other vampires or councilmen dared to go closer to Hazel and even Rafael was busy entertaining the guests, so Hazel consumed her time in eating her heart fill.

Enjoying the soft symphony of the music, she did not realize how the time passed and everyone started to leave!

“Is the party going to end?” she asked the maid that was following her and she nodded.

Hazel scanned the room and took a breath of relief. Finally she could let her guards down. She was standing on pins and needles all this time.

“Then I want to leave for my room too!” she announced as she stood up from her seat but the miad panicked.

She looked around with fear and shook her head like a rattle drum,

“Oh, you can not leave my lady, as a host you should leave the party in the end!” she whispered slowly as she was afraid that she would be killed by Rafael for scolding his new lover._.

But at the same time she was scared that she would be blamed for not telling her about the etiquettes. But as a noble, shouldn’t she already know about it?

Or was it that the land of humans and vampires had different etiquettes!?

Oblivious to the turmoil the maid was facing, Hazel just rolled her eyes.

“What if I go, who would dare to stop me or scold me!” since she was given the powers, no matter what the reason was, she should just enjoy it.

Who knew what cost she had to pay for that in the future!

“…” No one! But she could be punished for that. But she gulped the thoughts in her mind.

Without waiting for further response, Hazel stood up and walked towards the stairs.

Many eyes were turned to her direction when they saw her leaving and then turned to stare at the emperor who was having a drink with a warm smile on his face.

His eyes were staring at Hazel like a hawk stare at his prey yet he did not move.

Once she was gone, the councilman walked to Rafael, “my lord”

Rafael turned his head and stared at the man with a calm look but his eyes were filled with sarcasm, “oh you are still here, i thought that you would not come back since you have already achieved your target!”

A tinge of guilt passed over the face of man but it vanished as soon as it came,

“I did, but even you get over 50 percent of the seats on the council, while humans get only 30 percent.

Is it not a win-win situation for you.” added the man in a polite but cold tone and Rafael chuckled.

“Haven’t I pampered the doll you have sent this time well in exchange!” his face turned dramatic and his hands moved to his chest, “look, i even expelled a trustworthy person just for her!

Yet you pointed out only the benefits i am getting from it, i am hurt!” the way he mentioned it in an over dramatic way as if he was heartbroken by his accusations that the jaws of Edward clenched.

He really wanted to holler at the night creature and wanted to tell him that he had done it intentionally.

He could make a fool of others but he had seen how he used the girl to get rid of a competitor and even showed the council that he was the one in control now.

And at the same time claimed that he is taking care of the pawn of peace very well this time and had no intention of killing her. And the dumb girl!

He was sure that he had won the trust of the dumb girl who was wary of him. Only god knows how he was going to play with her now!

“That.. I am thankful for caring so much about the girl. If i did not know any better i would have thought that you have orchestrated the whole plan from the sidelines! Hahaha!” with an awkward laugh, he ended the topic right there as he knew he would not gain anything by taking enmity from this man.

With the new powers, he was the strongest even when it comes to politics.

“Hmm, that is why I like you Edward, it was nice doing business with you.

Do not worry, I will not kill you even if I kill the whole council one day!”

“…..” cold sweat started to form on the face of Edward as he stared hard at the man with widened eyes. He did not know whether he should thank the man for sparing his life.

Or should he accuse him for starting another war soon. But in the end, he just nodded as his hands instinctively reached his neck and rubbed it as if he could already feel the pain.

“Then, the council is taking its leave. We will make a report that the peace treaty has been successful and both parties should be given their side of the bargain!” with that the man bowed his head and left.

“Finally, your curiosity is settled. Huh?” he muttered in the empty space when Scarlet came out of the balcony on his left side which seemed to be empty all this time.

“You could have just told me that you are putting on a show for everyone. You know how furious I was!

I would not only have killed the girl but even attacked you!!” though she said the words nonchalantly, her eyes were gleaming and her voice was grave but the man just rolled his eyes.

“I know you love your life too much to do it!”

“Hmm, so, now that the council is gone, can we kill the girl?” madness and bloodlust could already be seen on her face as the words came out of her mouth but the man sighed as if he was disappointed and shook his head,

“To my dismay, no! I still need her to get what I want!”
