Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"Do not be that boring! Haven't I punished her enough for you!" she gritted her teeth as she felt that he was mocking her and showing that he had done a big favor on her just by throwing a few forks and knives on the vampiress who did not even get a scratch mark while her whole neck was..!!

"No! I want her to be punished as a criminal should be!" his eyes cracked for a second before turning to normal again as he glanced at the girl who had not even informed him of the incident in the first place.

He still remembers how she had tried to protect Damien even if it was for her safety!

"As a criminal, you say? You know that she is a higher level aristocrat. The only family of the emperor to be exact. Are you sure you could take her to the royal court as a criminal!?" Hazel could feel the pressure emaciated from his body and the frosty look in his eyes.

He was trying to pressure her to give up! Well! What had she expected! They were family, of course, he would support her while she was just a luggage he had to carry to stay in the position.

"I know! But my position is still higher than her, since I am the empress! Do you think the family of the emperor had the right to attack the empress!" she took a breath of relief when her voice came stronger and clearer than she had thought!

She wanted to act like a brat and wanted to have a safe life here. But she knew that even if she would not cross paths with Scarlet, the woman would still find a way to attack her!

So, it would be best if she made her stance clear! She held the dress tightly in her hands as she continued to stare at Rafael, showing her she had no intention to back down!

"You know that Scarlet could not be punished! But if you want I can give you a favor in exchange!" he rolled his eyes as he looked away from her towards the fireplace.

She could not see his expressions so she did not know what he was thinking about! But she wondered what favor he was talking about!

"No! Even if you could not punish her severely, I still need an assurance that she would not repeat it. What favor would be more important than saving my life?" Although she was talking about her life, he could see that her eyes were calm and her body was straighter!

Did she not feel scared when she was attacked or when she was facing him!? He continued to stare at her as the dark rays started to dance in his eyes. He was sure that if he continued, she would back down, but even after so long, it did not happen!

"Hmm, if it is about your safety? What if I punish her and she decides to take revenge?

You are so frail that it would not take much effort to kill you!" her nails dug deeper into her skin when she heard his bland voice.

He was not even feeling sympathetic when she was attacked and even mocking her for being a human! But he was right! She was weak and Scarlet could attack her again!

But if not punishment then… her eyes sparkled as she stared at him again with more confidence.

"Then I want you to give me two favors instead of one!" He raised a brow as he was not expecting her to back down so easily when she was so adamant just a second ago but at the same time he wanted to know what she wanted to ask for..

"I will decide that after hearing your requests. Tell me!" What a bastard! Did he think that she would ask for the crown or what!

Cussing her again in her heart, she took a deep breath,

"That is simple my lord, i think you're right that i am not able to protect myself against the strong night creatures.." he nodded his head as if that was the given when she felt all the nerves of her forehead popped but she controlled!

"So, I want four loyal knights to protect me all the time, even when I am asleep in my room!" so that no monster could come to my room from the window when i would be sleeping!

This place was filled with creepy people! She shuddered when she remembered that memory and was more determined to have personal knights that would follow her everywhere!

"Hmm, i can give you more than four knights but i can not take the guarantee that they would be loyal to you!

We have to earn their loyalty by ourselves! What is the second request anyways and can you continue the conversation after taking a seat. It feels strange that you are standing there while I am sitting comfortably here!" he pointed at the seat nearby when he noticed her shuddering!

It must be the memory of being strangled, he assumed looking at the reactions of her face when she nodded and walked towards the seat!

'I was standing because you did not offer me the seat in the first place! What if your face has turned gloomy again and you start ignoring me like morning! After all, you are a man in the menopause!' in spite of the violent thoughts in her mind, she maintained that fake smile on her face as she sat down,

"What is your other request?"

"I want the freedom and power to choose whom I want to meet or not since I am the empress of the palace, not a mere maid!" he stared back at her as if he did not understand what she truly wanted!

"Hmmm??"

"I want the power to deny meeting anyone in the palace even if it is Scarlet or you, my lord!"
