Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 127 Taken Care Of!

“Why is there so many people in the palace?” With a happy heart, Hazel returned back from the training ground only to see more than a dozen people walking the stairs toward the third floor which was exclusively designed for Rafael.

The whole floor that could have twenty large rooms was designed as an office for him. Since the day she had taken his chamber, he was sleeping there too.

Come to think of it, she had still not seen him in so many days. Should she use the opportunity and follow the crowd to see what was happening?

He would not insult her in front of so many people would he? It was necessary for her to get his attention from time to time so that he would not forget about her safety.

Or should she stay in the dark and let him forget about her so that others would do so and no one would pay any attention to her and let her live quietly!

What a dilemma! Even when it had been more than a month since she had come here, she still did not know what would be best in her interest!

“You did not know, my lady?” Hazel turned her head and gave a stern gaze to her maid who was trying to show off that she knew more than her who was a clueless girl even after being the empress._.

It was only due to this kind of woman, she needed to strive constantly to gain more recognition.

“Do you remember lady Natalie who had come to meet lady Scarlet and my lord a week ago.” how could she forget the girl! Her death had brought her back to her senses or she was going to confess to Rafael about her silly emotions that she felt momentarily.

She still feels embarrassed whenever she thinks about how she was going to ask him if he could love her!?

When Hazel nodded her head, the maid continued, “the lady died a while ago and strangely her elder brother who had gone to the academy suffered an accident too.

The family withered in a day, and the count lost his mental balance. Now the countess is handling the affairs.

But that was not the end, a long list of debts had suddenly fallen on her and now she had to sell all her properties to get rid of them.

They are here to settle the dispute of the agreement my lord had signed with the count last week.“ The maid did not seem even a bit disheartened or sorry for the couple.

Not that Hazel was upset about it but she was sure that all this could not be just an accident. But why was Rafael against her family so much?

It could not be as simple as Natalie approaching her or the mistake of count in recognizing the witches.

Shaking her head, she decided to walk back to her room. All this had nothing to do with her! He could kill and then behave like a saint to gain their appreciation for all she cares about.

But just as she reached the door Alfred was already standing there. She had seen the man after so long that she had forgotten about his presence completely.

“My lady, it is a pleasure to see you again.” raising a brow as his presence could not be as simple as greeting her, she entered in only after giving him a slight nod.

The man smiled warmly as he followed the girl in the room even when she behaved coldly with him.

“My lady did not seem to be happy after seeing me. It made me feel like I failed to fulfill my duties as the butler of the palace.

“And you are here to tell me about that..?” she raised a brow as her eyes fell on the file in front of her and fell the headache budding in.

“No! I am here to pass you the file. My lord had recently purchased the properties and he had named a few to you.

I am here to take your signature on the files.” she could already see the properties he had gifted her.

Vashelia town! It was the same where the auction house was situated and so was the strange foreteller who had spouted nonsense about that.

She still felt that it was because of that fortune teller that he stopped meeting her completely.

“I did not want these gifts. I apologize but inform my lord that I can not take these properties!” it would be better that he would give her a few jewel sets like normal husbands so that she could take them with her when she would run away.

“Oh! I am not in the position to do that. If you have any concern why don’t you discuss it with my lord over dinner tonight?” She raised a brow at his polite behavior and chuckled.

“So you do not have the right to take the properties back but you have the right to fix our dinner meeting before asking him?” is he not challenging more of his authority in the later thing.

Anyone could feel the sarcasm behind her soft chuckle but the man did not felt angry even a bit, he nodded as if it was the right thing to do.

“Of course, what is there about authority and right when I prepare the dinner for my mistress and master.

A married couple should spend some time together once in a while.

But if you are busy handling the budget, I would fix another meeting but if it is only about the expenses behind blood, then I may help you in meeting a few dealers and fixing the deal.

Only if you want my lady!” this witty vampire! He was more cunning than his master when it came to taking care of his surroundings and using others’ weakness over them.

Cussing him in her heart, she could only smile and nod at his offer,

“Then I will be waiting in the garden tonight!”
