Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

=================================

Rafael checked the whole building but there was nothing he could find. It felt like a strong barrier was created around it that was keeping him away from finding things. If that continued then he would lose the traces of witches there soon.

"Stop sending the blood bats calling me. Send a human or a letter like others.`` Diana licked her lips as she landed on the ground slowly after flying for so long.

Stretching her body, she walked in towards him and then looked around as if scanning the room.

"This place had a strong stench of magic. Someone had used powerful spells here." her face filled with disgust as if she was feeling nauseated by it.

"Yes, and I want you to look at it properly. I want you to search and find what they are trying to hide.

I will ask you again tomorrow." she raised a brow but did not question him back when his eyes narrowed on her face.

She nodded her head curtly when he passed one last glance to the room before leaving that rusty smell. He ran the best he could and it took him only half an hour to reach the palace back.

He went straight into his room knowing well that Hazel would be angry. He had promised her that he would take care of her but often failed in the task,

Since then, following a witch has been better than spending time with his wife.

He entered with an intention to apologize to her but noticed that she was already sleeping. Her long lashes had covered her eyes and part of her face.

Her face was looking so innocent and so enticing the way she was feeling without any awareness of her surroundings.

If he wanted, he could..! His lips parched and his Adam apple bobbed up and down when he continued to stare at her as if he was enjoying the rhythmic moments of her chest heaving up and down.

He realized he did not have his meal for today. But he did not want to call any other girl. Though her blood was not the one, it was still the sweetest and he wanted to have it again.

He left the room when his eyes fell on the bandages wrapped on her arms. She had already lost a lot of blood and he could handle hunger for one night.

When he walked out of the room, Lucian was standing in the distance as if waiting for him.

He walked towards him when Lucian bowed his head. He took out a small black box from his chest. It looked no more than a jewel box but when Rafael raised a brow, he did not explain anything.

Rafael took the box in his hand and opened it only to see small gemstones made of beryllium. They were kept securely in the velvet strap and if it was a rare treasure.

"Lady Hazel found a suspicious building while enjoying the festival today and followed them.

She found this box there and even fought with a few mercenaries there. I think it is the same element as the tip of the arrows of the knights who had attacked us before." though he told the truth, he hid the fact that humans are going to use it against him in hunting festivals.

He was sure that Hazel would not participate in it. So, he did not need to care about what happened to Rafael.

He had already done enough by showing this box to him and telling them their intentions. If he still went into the mouth of the trap by himself, there was nothing Lucian could do.

"Why are you telling me all this?" the causal and nonchalant voice of Rafael surprised him.

He was already expecting the vampire to go berserk and ask him to take him to that old building.

He should have gone on rampant to kill and suck humans dry. Wasn't he taking an old revenge from all the witches even when they were not aware of what had happened a long time ago. Then how could he be so magnanimous that he did not care about human plans at all.

"My lord.. I did not.."

"You have stopped protecting me because you wanted me to die. But when you realized that the plan was not working and I was able to protect myself well, you attacked me from behind.

Don't you want to see me die? Then why are you sharing such important news with me?"

"........" so, he knew all the while? It has been days since he was afraid that the vampire would know the truth but he never even once tried to talk about it.

Now.. Why so suddenly?

"I.. I have never done something like that. I must have been attacking the lights when you came in between my lord. I will never hurt my master." he tried his best to stay calm and reply with an honest look in his eyes.

"Tsk! I am not here to blame you. Neither am I interested in knowing their plans. I would kill them slowly before they could act." he assured Lucian, who nodded his head and left from there while gritting his teeth.

If the man was so overconfident and did not want to save himself then there was nothing Lucian could do. Rafael's death would be only in his benefit.

He walked out of the palace when his head rose and his eyes continued to stare at the window of Hazel's room.

He didn't know why he wanted to see her. He wanted to hug her to feel assured. He shook his head at these foolish thoughts but not even once had his gaze left the room.

"Do not tell me that you are in love with Hazel. You know that she was married, right? More than that they both love each other a lot so she would never look at you as a woman!"
