Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 47 [Bonus chapter] Battle of Wits!



Though Anne had always been with Hazel, she was more like a protector than a family.

She was strict to Hazel and always frowned and scolded her for her mistakes. Though they both had spent a lifetime together, even Anne had never tended to her wounds personally.

If she would get a scratch or an injury after falling from the tree or while running in the garden, Anne would just scold her and then give her the ointment which she applied by herself.

Yet he..!! She felt like a soft breeze touched her skin and caressed her cheeks.

Even if it was her illusion that he cared for her, she did not care at that moment!

She stared at his face as if she wanted to engrave his concern in her heart forever when he suddenly raised his head and stared back at her.

His soft face immediately turned into a frown that shivered her and her dream was finally broken.

“Is it so painful that you are crying?” she blinked and her hands instinctively reached to her cheeks that were warm and wet..

“…..” could she tell him that she was in pain but it was not physical as he thought.

In the end, she did not know what to say. So she bowed her head and stared at her feet that were covered with red ointment now.

“If you were hurting so much then you would have taken off the heels. With that horrendous makeup on your face, who would have cared whether you have worn heels or not!” he was about to flick her forehead again but once bitten twice shy,

Even before he could touch her forehead, she covered it with her hand and glared back at him.

“So you do know that I was looking horrible! Yet you demanded a kiss for me!

If i did not know any better i would have thought that your taste is ugly woman!” she was restored with puffed cheeks.

She had sacrificed her beauty to get rid of him but in the end not only she had to accept all his commands but even had to kiss him in public.

It was she who had suffered the losses! What right did he have to complain! Hmph!

“I can see you are not in pain anymore and still left with a lot of energy! How about we go for a walk then?”

“….” she stared with mouth agape at the man who was looking at her with a raised brow.

What kind of cunning man was he? Had he not applied cream to her feet so tenderly as if he was worried to hurt her and now he was asking her to go for a walk when he knew that she was hurt!

She crossed her hands in front of her chest and was about to deny him without hesitation when he added,

“Or we can sleep if you are tired!?”

“We!” she stared at him and then at the queen size bed that would not have enough space between them if they would sleep together on it. And what if he had some other evil thoughts in his mind that was why he offered a walk since he knew that she could not and then have to share bed with him,

She took back all her thoughts when she thought that the man was caring! He was cunning as a fox!

She stood up like a spring and then started walking towards the door before he could say anything further and make it more miserable,

“Hmm, the night is beautiful, it would be a waste if we would coop up here all night!” with such great enthusiasm she opened the door and walked out of the room as if she was never hurt in the first place.

A dark ray of light flashed past the eyes of the man whose face had turned cold as if it was frozen. His darker eyes gleamed with something dangerous that could have trembled all the knights as he stood up slowly and walked behind her.

When he walked out of the room, the girl had already reached the other end of the passage.

Though she was trying to hide, she was still walking a bit uneasily.

He had noticed that in the party too when she had left the dancing stage but now it was more apparent.

“What are you still doing there, my lord? You are too slow!” she chided and as she took step forward enthusiastically when he chuckled!

“I am going on a walk, not to attack my enemy. I need to be agile!”

“…..” so even this was her fault now!

“And if i did not know any better, i would have thought you are a frog hopping away from the herons!”

“…” great! Not only had he called her an ugly frog but he even called himself a pretty bird!

And what did he mean, it seems! She was definitely running away from him!

But opposite to her thoughts, she covered her chest with her hands and widened her eyes. she opened her mouth as if she was so shocked!

“What are you saying, my lord! I love your company! And even if you are a water shrew, I would not have run away from you!”

She shook her head to increase the dramatic effect when the smile on his face froze!

His face cracked for a second before turning to normal again when he noticed the smirk she was trying to hide. Her eyes were twinkling like a sly fox that had taken her revenge!

A cynical smile formed on his face as if he was mocking his naivety that thought she had already won the battle of wits!

No matter what she did, he was still the lord others wary of talking to,

“I knew you would always be with me. But Since that is the case, why don’t you come here and walk beside me while holding my hands like couples do!”
