Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry and bring the papers, I did not have a whole day to spare. Didn't you say that you only need a few hours of help from me?" you!

She blinked as she looked at the night creature who should not have time for her at all!

"Oh, that would not be needed, my lord! You are such a busy person, any normal clerk would suffice!" it would be even better if that person would be human!

"And you think that person would guide you better! Haven't I told you that the deal is important for me!" then why are you dragging me in it!' she wanted to shout but nodded her head instead!

"Then, I shall bring the parchment lady Natalie gave to me." She stood up while her mind already started working on the plan on how to get rid of the situation but before she could take a step he chuckled.

"There is no need, I have the copy here. Tell me what you want to know!" taking a deep breath like a deflated balloon, she picked up the papers and started checking them.

Her brows knitted into a thin line and she took out the parchment and started noting the points seriously. Randomly a few tendrils fell on her face and she blew them away instead of using her hands and tucking them properly behind her ears.

His eyes flickered as he continued to notice how her lips puckered everytime she find something queer and then jot it down so forcefully as if she was using a sword against the enemy.

Her eyes were filled with grievances and rage as she felt like she was tormented! Randomly her lips mutter something inaudible and then she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath to control her anger!

She looked so annoyed that he wanted to tease her further. He licked his fangs instinctively when his eyes fell on the drop of sweat that started from her forehead and teased her face while finally falling on her neck!

It looked so damn seductive that his eyes glowed. He stood up and was about to take a step towards her while taking out a handkerchief from his pockets when she finally closed the file and raised her head, even startling him!

"Phew! Finally done!" She picked up all the papers and stared at him when she noticed that he was standing too close to her and had strange expressions on his face.

Her brows knitted as she looked behind her but there was nothing! Why did he look like someone snatched a stack of gold for him!

"Are you done?" she flinched when she heard his cold voice and wondered what made him so annoyed!

"Well, yes! I have prepared notes to the best of my knowledge but I am not sure since I have never done this tak before. If you look at it and tell me a few things.." She placed the parchment on his study table while he continued to stare at her face with a flicker in his eyes and only when she stared back at him did he look at the papers.

Scanning through the details, his eyes glowed and an indescribable emotion flashed past his eyes but when he raised his eyes, that was normal again!

Hazel waited for the man to speak all this while but he was too silent. She was sure that the parchements were not made perfectly. She was not a professional and had no idea how negotiations were done on land and treaties!

"If there is any problem with the data and the details of negotiations, then I will.."

"There is no need! I will handle it!" huh! He would!

"If there is any mistake, you should tell me and I will improve it! I have to learn all this since I have to handle the duties of an empress too!

So, it would be better if you guide me rather than handling it yourself!" 'Most importantly, if you were going to handle it, why have you asked me to look into it in the first place!'

Her eyes filled with irritation as she stared at him with hurls exploded in her mind! While she felt nervous at the same time!

How bad it was for him to take the whole file back and handle it himself! He had told her again and again that the project was important for him!

Should she just apologize and let the matter go? Or should she ask him to assign a guide for her so that she could learn from her mistakes and improve.

Just when she was mulling over her options, the vampire chuckled as if he had heard a joke! And she stared back at him with a bewildered face.

Her big animated eyes were filled with worry and confusion that made him smile more.

"You are thinking too much! The pointers of negotiation are fine! Though a bit of leniency could be seen, the agreement letter was well prepared even though I was surprised by it!" he tilted his head as he saw how she blinked and then her eyes beamed.

She was just like a kid who was praised for her good work and now wanted to show off it to the world and make others jealous!

"But as I said, I never wanted to negotiate over it! I want the treaty to be accepted! The conditions you have set were too harsh and there might be a chance that it would be rejected!" another frown formed on her face when she heard so but she did not understand why!

"My lord, when I read the file, the treaty gives you the right to trade with the northwestern area of the Lawrenstine Empire!

But as far as I remember and shown in this file, the area is barren and there is no industry or agriculture there! Why are you so keen on a treaty? It would only bring loss for the empire!" she had even tried to look into the library and record room but found nothing special in that land!

There was no historical record of that place either, as if it never existed in the land or geography! Then why did the place matter so much! The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was a waste of money and effort and he did not even want to deal with the girl!

But as the words left her mouth, his aura turned gloomy and the smile on his face disappeared as if it was not there at the first place.

"Have you heard about the place before or do you know why the area is famous for.." he halted and stared deep into her eyes but she shook her head sincerely, and his eyes flickered and turned darker when he added with a wary smile on his face "It is the coven of witches!"
