Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"Are you going to stare at me this whole time?" The room suddenly felt cramped because of his presence.

No matter what she did, she always felt that he was staring at her deeply.

The gaze was so intense that she was not able to concentrate on the book she was reading.

So, she let it go and looked for the flowers from the balcony but even then she felt a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach.

In the end, she just laid on the bed and closed her eyes thinking that she would not feel it anymore but the feeling did not go away.

Did the vampire have no work to do except staring at her.

"You know staring at others is rude and creepy too!" he raised a brow when she hollered at him with her hands on her hips as if she was going mad sharing a room with him.

"I am just looking at how lazy you are! Try to sleep again when you have slept all the time in the carriage too!" did he just say that! Her eyes widened with disbelief and her mouth opened wide as if she could not believe him at all.

She was not sleeping, she was unconscious and that was before he was playing with the witches. If it would not have been for him, she would have been in this mess!

Rather than feeling sorry for her and asking her to rest, he was telling her that she was a lazy person who was trying to rest all the time.

"Then.. What am I supposed to do, my lord?" she asked with an ugly smile on her face as if she wanted to beat him.

In her heart, she had already held his throat and was strangling him with full force while he was begging her for her forgiveness.

The imagination was so satisfying that she could not control the smug forming on her face when his eyes narrowed at her face.

As if reading her thoughts, his aura started to permeate when the door was knocked.

"What were you thinking about my dear wife?" his voice was low and deep just like it was coming from the depths of hell to take her life that she jumped on her place.

"Nothing, I was just thinking who would be at the door!" she chuckled with an awkward face as she realized he had caught her red handed and then ran towards the door as if demons were chasing her.

The knight was taken aback and took two steps away when the face of the lady emerged suddenly in front of him. His hands that were about to knock the door again were taken back and he bowed his head.

Gilbert, who was standing behind the knight smiled lecherously as he looked at the girl whose lips had a sly smile on her face as if she had taken advantage and fooled someone.

"My lady, I was not expecting you to open the door personally. You should have asked a maid to do so!" though he was saying that with a pleasant voice he was condemning that she did not have the manner of a noble.

How could an empress run and open the door by herself? She was not even looking presentable enough.

Ha! As he had expected! She was not cut to be made princess. Even her daughter looks more presentable in her night attire!

Come to think of it, a nefarious smile formed on his face when he remembered her attire.

"I have come to inform you that I have called the best designer to make a dress for you for tonight.

Since there is not much time left, it would be better if the lady went this instant and gave her measurements so that the designer would be able to make at least half a dozen dresses by night.

Since the time is less, you should be a bit considerate to not ask for more than that."

"Why would I ask for more than 6 dresses for a single event? A good dress would do!" a look of bewilderment passed his eyes which was soon replaced by a scorn!

Of course, what was he even thinking? She was not a noble who had her own preferences and wanted choices so that she could choose the best for herself.

He was sure that she didn't even know what the current fashion was! It would be a waste of resources if they were spent on her.

"How could that be, my lady! There should at least be a few so that you can choose!

Anyways, I am not the right person to discuss it with. Allow my knights to escort you to the designer and both of you could see what would be more befitting for the lady!" Hazel rolled her eyes at his act.

Even his daughter was better at hiding her thoughts. While the disdain was so clear in the eyes of the man that she could notice it from afar.

She shook her head as she did not care much about it anyway. Since he was not a woman whom she needed to keep in check. She would rather ignore his action for her peace.

She nodded and left with the maids and knights that had followed her with respect though she knew that they all were laughing behind her back.

Once sure that the woman had disappeared, the count scoffed! What in the world did she think of herself? She was nothing but a fool who did not even know about the intentions of the people around her.

With a snort, he entered the room after another knock only when he heard the permission of the lord to enter.

"My lord" he bowed his head as soon as he entered as he tried to find the right words that were convincing but at the same time did not look imposing when the vampire chuckled,

"You are here to request me to visit the barren lands, right?"
