Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 314 The Drink Was Spiked

“Who was he?” asked Rafael with a tone of authority in his voice.

“He needed help. I do not know who he is exactly but he thinks that you are not good for the empire. Humans are needed to appoint or they will lose their confidence in the rulers.”  He scanned her face as if he was not sure of her words.

The man looked too suspicious for just a rebellious human. They would cover when he looked at them and a wise person like him would not have challenged him back, but he nodded his head despite knowing that she was not telling the complete truth.

“For how long are we going to stay at the party? Do you think roaming like this would tell us where the beryllium is? The nobles are not that fool.” she sighed.

She was feeling tired already, it felt like everyone wanted to use her for their rebellion due to her power of authority or the power of witches.

“We are only here to show that you are available to take advantage of!” she raised her brow and snapped her head into his direction when he raised his hands in defeat.

“They would never come to me as they knew I could strangle their neck with a single wrong word.

But they take you as a foolish princess whose emotions were easy to sway.

They would lower their guard and speak what they should not have.

I wanted you to connect the dots and inform us who are still planning against vampires.

I can only trust you for this.” his voice turned grave in the end, and she could feel the gravity of the matter.

“If you are tired, you can always take a break and rest. We can go out tomorrow to the town.

I regret not going out with you since we have come here.

I would like to take you out for shopping and dinner.” his tone changed suddenly into a casual one as he squeezed her hands to not feel pressured by the situation.

“Is that a date?” she asked with a crooked smile on her face but he nodded seriously.

“Of course, I want my wife to feel my love everyday and fall in love with me again.” he said with the same serious face that was taken aback for a second before bursting into laughter.

“I have a tea party to attend tomorrow.” she said, looking away. Her heart started to beat faster and those lips, the moment he nodded, she wanted to capture them then and there and have her way with him.

Who had made this man so sexy and now he was learning to be adorable too. It was a deadly mix for her.

“Dates are better at night. We could see the lightning in the market and count stars while sitting on a public bench in the garden.

When my head would be in your lap and you would run a hand in my hair while caressing my cheek.” though she was hearing completely different words,

The scene of dragging him into a dark alley and kissing those lips flashed in front of her eyes when his hands were tearing her dress aggressively but instead of pushing him away, she was in the same urgency to place her hands under his pants.

She shook her head and blinked. Since when had she turned into such a pervert.

Her throat parched and she felt heat all over her body.

Her stomach churned with need and the same wetness started to form in the pit of her stomach.

“Are you okay? Are you looking too red? Are you having a fever?” he asked with furrowed brows as he took a step closer when she shook her head.

The heat was making her restless but she was sure it was not only because of her hormones.

“I just need some rest. I am going to the washroom.“ Before he could stop her and ask further, she had already taken turns and went to the washroom.

He was about to follow her when Edward came with a group of men and took his attention.

He looked at the guards that were protecting her and they nodded back as they stood up to follow her.

Hazel gritted her teeth as sweat started to form all over her body. She was looking like she was walking under the strong sun that was burning her.

“That damn man! He dared to spike my drink with that innocent face!” when he had told her that the drink was not spiked, she had checked the flow of his blood and even sniffed the drink.

Who would have thought that she was still a fool to be confident enough in her powers.

Her body had already started to take out the toxins but it would take a few minutes. Till then, she needed to sit in a silent place or else she was sure she would ponce on Rafael and drag him back to their room to end what they had started at noon.

She licked her dry lips and took a few deep breaths. She was glad that she had reached the washroom without any difficulty.

p?and a- She opened the door and peeked in. The room was empty to her relief.

She walked towards the sink and splashed cold water over her face. The cold sensation on her skin gave her some relief as she repeated the process a few more times before leaning on the wall nearby for support.

At times like this, she wished the washrooms had chairs to sit in too. Her eyes snapped when she felt the presence of someone but she was sure that she did not hear any footsteps.

Her eyes met a woman with dark hair and long red nails. Her white face had a smirk as if she knew what Hazel was feeling and enjoying her torment.

Her lean body was embedded in a black bodycon dress with a slit near her thighs.

“It is better than I thought, my queen.”
