Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 517 - 517 Give Up And Stand Back

517 Give Up And Stand Back

The news that Michael was killed and Nathan had taken his position spread like wildfire.

It had created fear on those who were thinking of rebels too.

Many were still thinking about it when news that Lucio had given up on his position and disappeared hit them hard.

Those who were following them were shocked as they had always taken them as stronger and someone who could not be defeated easily. And now..

Everything had changed.

But that was not the only thing. New law that you did not need to leave the area was also announced. A new offer that all the races could live together if they wanted to spread made everyone more confused than before.

Among the chaos, the council was the worst.

Inside the council room, Rafael was sitting on the seat of head while everyone was standing around him, staring at him for explanation.

“I went to confront him about running a dark society when he attacked me and claimed that I was responsible for the death of many. I still only wanted to imprison him and talk to him about it but he took out a rare dagger.” Rafael took out the dagger and placed it on the center of the table without any fear,

.....

“I killed him only for self defense. If you want, Nathan is the witness, you can after further from him.” he replied in a calm voice. One of his best impressions was because he always explained his actions and let them justify it.

Many exchanged glances when Nathan stood up and nodded his head.

“I did not know master Michael is playing a rebel though I had seen him walking in the dark lanes these days. I only thought he was spying. I apologize for not timely reporting the matter.” he bowed his head when many sighed.

They could not claim it as reckless anymore.

“But Michael had been with us for decades. Why would he do that.”

“It is only because of giving power to witches and distributing the lands. Many chaos has been created these days.” remarked Solia, a vampire that holds a lot of power and many nodded.

“After the death of Scarlet, what made you think that you should be kind? You were given the position because you were not in control of your emotions. But now.. I think every decision you have taken recently is only influenced by your wife.” she added when Rafael looked at everyone.

None of them retried or said otherwise. All of their faces were telling that they agreed with her.,

“Yes, I have developed emotions with time. I have always thought that showing emotions would harm people around me.

I have been cold and dominating, killing others at the slightest mistake and everyone of you supported me and now that I am changing for the better and showing kindness, you are against me. Is it only because you do not want to share your powers? But have you ever thought that if we continue to suppress witches, they will start another rebellion and kill all of us?” he asked when Solia scoffed.

Others looked at him as if they were trying to judge if he was really serious about it?

“They have great powers but they have never been united. Prison a few and then threaten them, they will spill all the beans of their coven.” she suggested when many agreed but Rafael just smirked.

“Alright, then let’s find out.” he said and waved his hands when Anne and Declan entered the council room, surprising everyone.

“What are you..?” Before the woman could speak, Daclan waved his hands in the air and everyone was raised high in the sky.

They all wrapped their hands on their neck to get rid of the invisible hands that were strangling them.

Anna whispered a spell and soon they felt like a hard rock was thrown on their body, cruising them. Their veins started to bulge out of their skin and the storm started to hit the room.

“There are only two of them. Yet none of you is able to hold them much less impress them and ask them about their coven.” said Rafael as he stared at all of their ashen faces and shook his head.

The moment he shook his head, Declan and Anne took a step back and all of the councilmen fell on their seats again.

“Declan has been working in the council for years. If he wanted, he would have killed all of you a long time ago alone. But he did not want that. So, this was not an attack. It was only a way to show you that the war had to end or the witches would go against this time and i.. Would not be there to protect you.”

“......” his words made everyone tremble. They knew that humans could not stand against witches and vampires.. They would follow Rafael even if a few of them disagree.

They gritted their teeth as Anna and Declan moved forward again and placed a letter in front of everyone.

“This is the new treaty. If you agree with me, sign it. If you do not agree with me, you can get another session with Anne and Declan.” he offered with a smile as he sat back on his seat and signed the original copy and then passed it to Nathan sitting on his left in the place of Michael.

Nathan signed immediately and passed it to Edward who had always been in support of peace. But even those who did not agree dared not complain as the letter was signed by everyone.

“From now on, I dissolved the council and it would be made again with a new election where everyone would be chosen by the commoners.

You all have forgiven your powers by signing on these letters.” he took out the main letter and then passed it to Declan who left the room with Anne.

“There is no one in the power to control them. What if the war started again?”

“Oh! I am left. I did not sign on the letter in which i have to give up on my position.” said Rafael with a grin.

“........”
