Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"Standing behind you?" Although she knew she was weak, Rafael had never asked her to stand behind her as a wall flower while he would kill witches or humans for her sake.

He had always taken her as an ally, when it was about capturing witches from the fair or when fighting with knights, when she had come out to fight, he had only welcomed her.

She had thought that he was not considerate enough for her life but now that Lucian was showing that consideration, why was chest felt stuff and her body burnt in annoyance and humiliation.

It might have been that she had started to take her as equal and competent enough to fight!

The men standing there were fast and agile, they would not wait for them to decide who was going to fight with them.

As soon as they reached the door, many other men came out from the dark and the two guards gave them a wide grin when they got surrounded by other men.

"There's what a fine piece of art we have here. Looks like we are also going to celebrate the festival in our rooms tonight!" The man smiled wide, his dark and uneven teeth peeking out of his mouth making him look uglier yet dangerous.

Hazel could feel their lecherous gaze roaming over her body when Lucian was the first to attack. He had taken out his dagger and had already shot the one who was nearest to them but only brought the fury of others.

They stared at them menacingly and when he shot his another dagger, the bald man held it in his hands before it could pierce his body.

His hands filled with blood but his body was unscathed. He had a malicious grin on his face. And forwarded the dagger he had held towards Lucian while many others lunged towards him.

Surprisingly, no one attacked Hazel. As if defeating Lucian would already be her defeat and then they could collect her as a prize then.

While her nerves popped. Not only Lucian was treating her as a weak lady, they all were thinking of her as a prize not a threat too.

Great! Since they all were so carefree about her. She would show what she was! When they all launched towards Lucian, she ran towards the opposite directions and started climbing on a tree, a habit she had since childhood when she used to climb trees for stealing apples from the garden of the empress.

"Hahaha! Look at that brother, she had already started running away! Shall I go and catch her while you handle this brute?" asked a man, excitement filling his eyes like madness, he had that vicious smile on his face but hazel did not flinch as he had expected only to make his eyes crazier.

She continued to climb on the tree that looked like a failed attempt to save herself in their eyes, earning more chuckles from the nearby while Lucian had already taken out his sword and was not handling three burly men at once.

He was relieved that she had hid herself so, he did not need to look for her while fighting or it would have been difficult for him to concentrate.

If only she would not have been this adamant to come here! He cursed as he attacked the enemy once again. But they were trained. Both in weaponry and close combat, they were looking at strangers as if they trained all day and night.

"No! I want to see her guard dying in front of her eyes so that her last hope will die too. Then we would enjoy hunting her. Only then would she wither in fear and try to struggle at her best.

It has been days since I last played. The kids in the house are too submissive to enjoy." What a perverted bastard! Hazel could feel anger rising in her body when she imagined what this crazy bastard had done to the kids.

She was glad that she followed the kids here. If not, she would have never been able to forgive herself for being a coward!

"Alright, as you say. But I would be the first one to torment her tonight since I have laid my eyes on her first!" spoke the first one, as he looked straight into her eyes when she climbed the tree successfully and sat up on a branch comfortably.

Their biggest mistake was treating her like a fool. Did they really think that she had decided to come here unprepared? She would only sit here and tremble in fear while they would kill Lucian and then come to her? What a bunch of fools!

Taking out the gun that Raphael had given her for her safety, she shot the man that was thinking of having her as if she was a trophy! She shot him straight into the centre of his eyes when he was staring back at her.

His eyes widened but there was nothing he could do. They could hold a dagger thrown towards them due to their training but a bullet is faster and could not be caught.

The sound of the shot took all of them by surprise as those who were concentrating on fighting stopped and stared back at their comrade who fell on the ground with a thud. Blood was coming out of his head where there was hole mark due to the bullet.

His eyes were widened and his mouth was agape but he did not get any chance to cry or shout before dying as the death was abrupt to him when he had never thought that she would be able to shoot him.

Hazel had thought shooting the next one would be difficult since they were aware of her actions and the power she held now. But how foolishly they were gritting their teeth and staring at the dead body of their partner took her by surprise.

Were they thinking that she would give them time to grief or would not attack if they would not? Ha!

"Shot"

"Bang!"
