Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 540: Saving Your Life

"You do not have money?" The shrill voice made Lucinda's hands burn with flames but she took a deep breath and shook her head. She could not use her powers here! If she would, she would be one of those criminals that were making havoc in the human realm.

But the small action was seen by the seller, so she still smiled.

"It is fine if you do not have money. But you have taken food from me so it is only right that you pay or do something in exchange. Right?" she asked in a sweet voice as if she was not shrieking a moment ago! But Lucinda nodded her head.

"Hmmm, then use your magic and cut all the vegetables for me. It will save me time and I will be able to save more." she pointed at the bell peppers, onion and other vegetables. "Use your magic so that it would be fast." That was easy! Lucinda nodded and it only took her a few seconds and all the vegetables were cut perfectly.

Happily, the seller gave her one more skewer. When others saw it, they invited Lucinda to their stall too. Cutting and making things takes a lot of time and those who hire helpers needed to pay a lot but Lucinda was doing it just for a dish or two.

"Hey, would you like to have some scones too, you only need to help me in making dough in exchange?" offered one when she nodded.

In the end, she ended up eating all the things to the shock of the sellers and helped all of them. When she was done, it was already evening.

She stretched her neck and sat on a bench as she looked around! What was she even thinking when she decided to come here?

It was a vast land. Where could she find her mother and family and even if she found them, what would she ask them? Why did they abandon her? It was not like she was unhappy with her current life. She was well taken care of, she held power and others respect her.

"It was a wrong decision from the start." she whispered as she stood up. She would find an empty area and then return back when she saw a large crowd getting collected in the center.

Curious as she was, she walked to see what was happening. Since she was already here, at least she should enjoy it so that it would be worth getting scolded later.

"What are they all doing?" she asked a man standing beside her. He did not look back at her but laughed.

"Aah, we all are waiting for the fireworks." a deep frown settled on her lips as she looked at the sheer amount of people.

"You all are gathered here to see fire?" That was absurd? "Are you not afraid that it would burn all of you." The man snapped his head towards her thinking that she was joking but looking at the seriousness on her face, he was speechless.

Thinking that she was some crazy woman, he ran towards the other side.

"Sigh! At least I was able to explain the hazards of seeing fire this close to one person. But how shall I explain it to all of them?" she blinked her eyes as she looked at the crowd. "It would not be possible right?"

"Hey, seeing fireworks is not safe. You should not be standing here." she shook the arms of the woman standing beside her but she just frowned and jerked Luci's hands away.

Luci shook her head and went to another man and held his arms but the person took out the dagger and aimed at her, surprising her, but she took hold of the dagger and it only took her a second when she placed the dagger on his throat instead.

"Lucy! Is that you?" his eyes widened as he stared at her face, "why and how in the world are you here?" Luci paused and stared at his face again. No! He was a human. Humans could not know about her.

"Ha! I thought you were going to get punished by your mother. Did she let you go again? I am sure Aunt Hazel would not forgive you this time." that name.. Wasn't Hazel the name Stefan had taken when he was talking about her mother.

Her eyes narrowed at the young boy as she held the dagger tightly in her hands. "Do you know who my mother is?" her cold voice startled the boy who blinked but then he had a smirk on his face.

"Luci! If you are trying to act like we did not know each other, you should have at least hid your face. I can recognize you even in my sleep." Oliver scoffed as he tried to hold the dagger but Luci did not budge.

"Hey, if you hurt your brother, aunt will punish you and this time it would not end up easily." he warned, "give me the dagger and i promise that i will not complain. In fact, i will show you around." he said with a softening voice when she finally let the dagger go and he took it back.

"Now, tell me how did you come here?" he asked as he was sure that the security was too tight in the palace.

"I teleported myself." he blinked and then looked at her as if he was looking at a miracle and then started laughing.

"If that is the case, they can not punish you since they have asked you to teleport in the first place." he slapped his thighs with joy as he laughed and then placed his hands on her shoulders and pulled her closer into a bear hug.

"Now shall we enjoy the fireworks?" Just as the words left his mouth, she heard a boom sound and a big explosion in the sky, so she pushed him on the ground and covered him with herself.

"What in the world do you think you are doing?"

"I am saving your life!"
