Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 31 [Bonus chapter] That eyes

“That.. we have been told by the lady of the house!” the line itself was mocking her! Even the maids think that she was not the lady of the house! And everyone present there knew whom the maids were talking about.

All the vampires have a big smirk on their faces. Even the head of the maids and the knights that were insulted by her had scornful expressions on their face as if they were reminding him not to forget her place!

When everything thought that she would feel humiliated and finally realized her place, a look of surprise passed her face that only widened the smirk on the face of others.

“Oh my! I thought the previous empresses of the palace had already died?

Or are you getting the instructions from the dead?” as the words left her mouth, she covered it with her both hands.

“I think the biggest threat is not human or night creatures but these ghosts! What do you say my lord?” she looked at him with her big animated eyes with a fearful expression but her eyes were twinkling._.

“……….”

If he could take her name and use it as he wanted then why would she not do that!

Rafael looked at her with an amused smile. This was the first time when someone was using him as cannon fodder!

“Of course, then what do you say? Shall I kill her to get rid of any chance to spread the evil spirits!” even though everyone on the table knew that she was spouting nonsense! He replied with all seriousness as if their lives were at threat!

“………” the maid shivered and fell on the floor when she heard the decision of the lord. She only wanted to take revenge on her mistress who was treated like a servant by the new empress.

She had thought that Hazel would be insured if Diana would be called the lady of the house. Rafael had never minded when that had happened with the previous empresses and they have only suffered the grievances silently. But this new empress was too cunning!

“That.. that is not what i meant! I apologize for my mistake! It’s just that lady diana had always been our head, that i did not realize that i have to change my way of addressing her!” She bowed her head further to get mercy.

She knew if not others, at least her mistress would save her.

“You should pay more attention in the future or else you will be punished! Now go and work!” Diana scolded in a cold and stern voice like the mistress of the house should do!

The maid flinched and nodded. She was about to stand up and leave with a pale face when the sound of clapping halted her steps.

“No wonder the maid thinks that you are the lady of the house! You even cut the lord and decided the fate of the maid when my husband had already announced her death penalty!” she shook her head and sighed as she looked at the face of Rafael as if she was feeling pity on him.

“Too bad, even your family did not give you respect.” she even added when she did not get the desired reaction.

“…….” the whole room ended up in grave silence. Even the sound of music in the background suddenly stopped.

It felt like everyone had even stopped breathing. Not that she knew whether the night creatures breathe or not.

Only the sound of a few forks and knives on the dinner table could be heard that had fallen from the hands of the choked humans who did not know whether to applaud the bravery of the girl or pray for her soul to get peace!

The silence was so deafening that everyone felt it would only end up with the sword of Rafael killing hazel.

Even Scarlet was stunned but soon a smirk formed on her face. She was sure that Rafael, who was so cold and cruel, would not bear such an insult from a human.

“Hmm” Rafael rubbed her chin as if he was taking her comment seriously and then raised his head and looked at the girl with grim expression,

“Then what do you suggest, my dear wife? How should I react that they all only listen to me!”

“Thud!!” if her words were shocking, his words had shut their brain completely. A few of the maids even fell on the floor when they heard his words.

“What else! You should be the one to take the decision my lord! Like this meal.. Do you think I would have dared to change it if you had not accepted it?

Since you did not know about it.. Then how can i! It should be only done by the person who is trying to challenge both of our positions!

Right, my lord?” she even bit her lips as she looked at the man with an aggrieved face as if she was treated badly here.

From the side of her eye, she looked at stunned Edward who was still staring at the matter. At least, she would not be killed in his presence! She assured herself and then concentrated on the drama again.

But when her eyes fell on his face again, she felt goosebumps all over her skin, his eyes were sparkling with mischief as if he had seen where her eyes were and knew her little trick!

“Hmm, then let me change the meal as you want.. And for the maid.. I give you the right over all the staff of my palace and you would be the one to take all the decisions in the future.

Is it enough my dear wife?”

A lot of gasps could be heard in the background as she looked at him with wide eyes! When he came closer as if he was going to kiss her,

“Only I can keep you alive since Edward is going to leave the palace after the function. So, why don’t you look at me with those eyes in the future. huh?”
