Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 252 Luring By False Promises

Like lambs brought to the slaughter house, where they have no power in the binding and can only wait for their death with the hands of the butcher, the knights looked no better.

Invisible chain had bound them. They tried to move, struggle, fight and run but nothing worked. Their bodies were frozen and their weapons had fallen long ago.

The girl who was standing in front of them was nothing but their death. With her silver hair flying in the air as if winds were playing with them and her eyes that were darker than the moonless sky with only a silver dot in between.

She was not a human! A witch! But they never saw a witch with dark eyes.

“I gave you a chance of redeeming your sins but you ignored me.” she whispered softly and they swore that they heard the voice coming out of netherlands.

She walked closer to them slowly. She could feel their struggles but it was only giving her more thrill to kill all of them._.

Their body was feeling thirsty for the blood she would splatter on the ground.

“Tsk! Too much blood would go to waste! If only Rafael would have been here. He would have been happier.” she muttered under her breath as she snapped her hands and they all started having trouble breathing.

They wanted to cry and plead for their life but their body was not supporting them. No matter how much they forced, even their mouths were not opening.

“You want to beg! Ha! Don’t you know humans only beg god and fellow humans but i am none. I am the devil who will devour your soul.” she added as their faces started to turn whiter.

As if their souls were really leaving their bodies. Their mouths opened and a strange light started to come out of it. Their eyes turned wider when they noticed their fellow men crumbling like dust while the silver light of energy moved to the girl and got assimilated in her.

One by one each of them started to die soundless death but the pain was excurting.

When only one of them left, Hazel walked closer to him and stood in front of him. She did not take his life immediately but stared as if she was thinking about something.

He did not even try to struggle or open his mouth as he was sure it would be futile.

“You are not a sinner yet!” her face had an amused look as if she had found anything funny.

“Yet you were here to kill an innocent woman whom you didn’t even know.” her eyes turned colder again as she said so and the man who had gained some hope felt more vulnerable and miserable than before.

“I will give you the last chance of redeeming yourself. Tell me where the girls are and where the man who sent you is.” she offered again when tears started to form in his eyes.

A reason to save himself she said, yet she asked the questions he had no idea of. He was asked to follow the crowd in killing a woman when he was starving in the woods.

He wanted to deny it but thought that they were too many to kill a single girl and he could not save the girl even if wanted to.

Why not run in the crowd. He would do nothing bad yet receive a good amount to fill his stomach. Who would have thought that the pathetic woman they were talking about so leisurely was a strong witch that could devour the souls.

He had only heard about this powerful being in legends. How would he strike a deal with her?

“I..” he rubbed his neck with surprise when the voice came out but concluded that she had given him the chance to speak in exchange for her answers.

“I do not know, I only know that his highness, the crown prince, has offered us money to attack the woman who came here.

I did not know anything and I never wanted to kill anyone. I just wanted some frood and a warm place to stay. Please forgive me for my greed but I was hungry for days.” he begged as he did not know what else to do.

He regretted that moment most but there was nothing in his hands except for apologising now.

“I will let you go. You can even take all the money this place has but in exchange you have to take all the girls to their houses.” she spoke in a tone that demanded complete obedience.

It was not an offer but a command so he nodded. He would do anything she would tell him to.

“Good, now come with me.” she waved her hands into the air and the invisible chain that was holding him disappeared.

He coughed hard while holding his neck but soon ran behind her in case she disappeared in the dark.

The girl was walking leisurely without fear of the traps or further attack as she was looking around. How much time had passed when they continued to walk in the dark when she finally stopped in front of a door that was full of cobwebs. It looked too eerie with the snake engraved on it.

“Go towards the door and open it!” she commanded when he gulped.

He looked at her and then at the door. Why was she not opening it herself when she was so strong? Why did she want him to open it? What could be behind the door?

Fears could be seen dancing on his face which could be read by her too. His hands trembled but he did not hold the knob yet.

“If I wanted to kill you. I was strong enough to do that. I did not need to bring you here with false promises and get you killed by someone else. Now go and open the door NOW”
