Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 161 Will Go With You

“Your hold on the sword has improved. Your reflexes are better now. I must say, you are a fast learner.” Hazel beamed with the complement. She was practicing hard even after leaving from here in her room, since she had to leave tomorrow.

She had still not decided if she should betray humans or not. Though her family has never been good to her, supporting vampires over humans!

Uhh!’ Just when she came out of her thoughts, she saw him attacking straight to her arms and before she could move and defend, her sword fell off her hands.

“You are the one who distracted me by giving a compliment.” Or else she was paying good attention. She mumbled as she bent to pick it up though she knew that she had lost already.

In the past week she had only won once and lost every other time. But this time he had cheated to defeat her.

“This is the first rule of war! Never get distracted. But you got distracted by the compliments of the enemy! How foolish could you be?” her teeth gnashed hard as she stood up only to see mockery in his eyes._.

“Another round!” her eyes filled with fierce determination to win. If not, he was going to mock her all the time.

“Tomorrow! You are already tired and need rest. If you pressured yourself more, your wrist would hurt and you would not be able to pick up the sword later.“He could already see the swelling on her wrist, not to forget so many scratches and small wounds.

She had broken his prejudice about noble ladies a long time ago yet he was surprised to see how determined she was to fight. But why?

“We will not be able to practice from tomorrow. I forgot to tell you that I am going back to my native empire with Rafael and I might now come back.

If that happens, I hope you have a good time here. I will ask him to take care of you or free you once I am gone.

It is a pity that I am not able to learn further.” she stared at the shining sword in her hands with glittering eyes that had longing and regret when she shook her head and placed the sword in its sheath.

“What do you mean by not coming back? Aren’t you the empress of this place?” she frowned at his tone full of hostility again and raised her head only to see that he was fuming.

His eyes had turned red as if he was the one who was asked to leave the palace.

“Isn’t your reaction too exaggerated? Why are you so concerned when I told you that you will be freed?” Her cold words and harsh tone brought him back to reality and he bowed his head.

“If you are worried about the behavior of knights towards you then I assure you. I will take care of it before leaving!” her tone softened when she felt a bit guilty too. She had brought him to improve his life but never had enough time to take care of his needs.

In the end, he was just a child who had suffered a lot.

“No! Take me with you. You have said that I have to learn and be a better knight to serve you.

You have also said that you want to learn from me further. If you are leaving this place then why do i need to be here, mistress. I will be where you would spend your life.”

Hazel was taken aback when the man suddenly fell on his knees and joined his hands as he stared into her eyes. His expressions were looking anxious as he tried to find others reasons to convince her.

“But I don’t know what my future will be. How could I promise someone else? I didn’t even know what I would do after leaving this place.” Although Rafael had offered her a palace, maids and a lot of wealth, she did not want to take it.

Taking anything from him would bind them with another thread. If they were going to get separated then it would be better that they would be clean with it.

He did not need to know where she was and what she was doing and she had to close her eyes on every activity.

Or she would continue to feel the pain.

“It does not matter, mistress. I have lived my life in a dark cell and have been starved for ages. You did not need to worry about my welfare.

I will serve you till the end.” she sighed, she could not believe that he was so determined to be with him when she had already told him that she had nothing to give it to him.

“I will think about it and inform you of my decision by tomorrow.”

She did not look back at him as if she was worried that his eyes would force her to take the decision she did not want to and left from there with hurried steps.

This time two knights and two maids accompanied her back to her palace so he was not able to convince her further. After all, he was just a slave and for slaves, the words of their master was final without any arguments.

He continued to stay there for long until they all disappeared into the dark when he closed his eyes but when he opened them, his green eyes had already turned silver and shone mysteriously as if the moon had descended into them.

“The girl is leaving the vampire and the palace tomorrow.” he whispered in a soft voice.

“How could that be? You were assigned to bring the girl closer to the vampire. Only she was the one who was able to stop that monster from his killing spree.

Did you forget that she had saved your life that night too? You have to stop her from leaving.”
