Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 143 [Bonus chapter] Was She A Pet?

“Tsk! Are you worried about them and me while you were going to die just a second ago? I could not believe it was the same girl who had come to my palace just a few months ago.” Hazel rolled her eyes as she did not want to reply to his snarky remarks.

She looked at the girls who had dark raven and brown hair a few moments ago but now their hair has turned silver just like her.

She recalled how they were confused if she was a witch too. And now that she thinks about it, she had never seen anyone with silver hair even in her empire. Her hair was different all this time yet she never felt anything about it until she knew about the existence of witches.

But her eyes were not silver! So it could just be a coincidence right! Though she said that, her heart was in turmoil and her face turned pale with the thought that she could be a witch too.

“Why are you worrying now? Aren’t you saved already?” she jolted back at her place when she felt a hand on her shoulders only to remember that Rafael was standing behind her.

“Hazel! Are you okay?” so now he remembered her name!_.

She stood up and glared at him with cold eyes, “you have used me as a bait! That also without telling me. What if something had happened to me? Huh?” placing her hands on her hips she walked to and fro between the dark alley.

“At least you could have given me a heads up that they were witches. What if they would have hypnotized me like before. What if they would have taken me to their liar before you could come! What if..”

“Shush!” Rafael covered her mouth with his palms as he stared deep into her eyes, shutting her mouth in an instant.

“I would have never placed you in any danger. I was here all the time. It is just you were not able to see me.

And I could have asked others but they are only targeting humans and I can not trust anyone else but you when it comes to humans. Still, I apologize for what I have done.

If i would have told you in advance, there might be a chance that your expressions would alert them.

But I have never thought that you would be this afraid since you have always behaved bravely in the palace and I heard that you are even learning self defense!” she blinked as she looked at the worried expressions on his face.

Was the great lord, everyone was afraid of giving explanation to her? This was the second time he was explaining his action to her. Why?

“Are you still scared? I have never thought that you are this week.” Though taunting, he still held her hands and leaned her body over his, afraid that her feet would wobble and she would fall down.

She came out of her daze when he felt his cold hands trying to hold her waist to bring her closer to his body and shook her head.

He placed her hands on his chest and tried to create distance between their bodies.

“I am fine. I was just distracted.” by your actions and face. How could a man look that handsome when he came running to save her and fought with three witches while she was sure that she was looking like a bundle of nerves with that much sweat and pale face.

“Are you sure?” He raised a brow and scanned her face but when she nodded and let go of his arms, he did not try to stop her.

“Yes, so what now? Since they were already killed, how will we know what was going on here?” She scanned the area and then frowned as she remembered there were three witches.

The girl with freckles was still missing.

“We have not killed the first one. She is in our custody. The knights would handle from here. Come, I will take you to the fair again.” her eyes instantly turned sharp when she heard the last line and stared at him as if asking what are you going to do with me this time.

Looking at her face that looks like a glaring beast who would shred him into pieces if he annoyed her further, he chuckled as there were hardly any man or vampire who looked at him like that.

“What? I thought that you would like to buy a few things or might eat a few snacks.

At least that much I could do after putting your life in danger!” he ruffled her hair as he said so with a laughter again while she fumed further.

Did he think she was a pet? Her eyes only grew sharper as she glared at him fiercely.

“No thank you! I want to go home and rest.” She stood up without holding his forwarded hands as she patted her dress to clean the imaginary dust and walked towards the carriage standing at a distance.

Rafael shook his head but his face turned cold when his eyes fell on the witches.

“Take them to the underground prison. We will see what we can get from their body. The one who is left, did she tell how she had changed her looks?”  the knight bowed his head with dread as the witch had only glared at them.

They were afraid that if they would force her too much, she would whisper a spell that could make them toad or any other slimy creature as they were doing with other humans.

Though they were vampires, they were as helpless as humans when it comes to magic.

As if reading the thoughts in their minds, Rafael sneered but at the same time his eyes filled with a nefarious look.

“Looks like all the dirty work is left for me. Handle the dead witches at least while I go and see what the girl had for me.”
