Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 96 [Bonus chapter] Such Reward

“Where the hell did she go? Search for her. I want her in front of my eyes before dusk!” the butler knew this was about to come.

Even he was very shocked when he came to know that the lady had left the palace on her own when she was sent to curry a favor from the lord.

It was not fitting to her ambitious nature. She was a proud woman who loved the attention given by men and this man was the biggest challenge.

How did she let the chance go!?

“Do not worry, my lord. I have already sent a search party of the best knights to look over the whole area.” A look of hesitation passed through his eyes as he struggled for the right words while looking around.

He knew that a wrong word might cost his life, but he could contain his thoughts within,

“My lord, do you think that the lady had left on her own! I mean.. Why would she trust human knights more than the strength of the lord?” When it comes to defeating witches, no one could be a better person than Rafael!_.

“Watch your mouth, Karen! Are you trying to kill both of us? For now go and look for Natalie! Did you get that?” the butler finished but bowed his head and left.

Gilberd’s hands clenched into a fist as his loyal servant left. He knew better than anyone that his daughter would never do that.

He had told her how important it was for them to bring Rafael closer to their estate and he knew how hungry she was for power.

There was no way that she would let the golden chance of traveling with Rafael in the same carriage go! But when he had seen the eyes of Rafael, they were challenging him.

As if asking to question him, if he would have done that, then he would have lost his life too.

He had to make sure of the safety of his daughter but for that he could not raise his head against the lord.

His teeth gritted as he felt how the man was laughing over his condition!

“You! I want you to call the designer who always comes to design dresses for young girls and ask her to come to meet me before escorting her to meet her majesty.” the maid nodded and left from there when his face contorted viciously.

‘Though I can not raise my head against you, my lord. But it does not mean that I can not play with your weakness!’ a vicious smirk formed on his face as he asked the other servants to check the preparation of the feast.

“Make sure that all the nobles and rich men, merchants and those who hold high posts in council attend the event.

I did not care if carriages were needed to escort them personally. And prepare a luxurious gift for all of them.

The music and decoration to be its best and I want a special uniform for all the maids who would serve the meal.

Invite those noisy reporters too! They have been asking for a new one for a long time! Tonight I will give them news, a lot of it!”  all the servants nodded and bowed their heads.

They knew how vicious their master could be.

“My lord, the lady has already come!” Gilberd turned to see the young girl who was popular in the town for her dresses and accessories.

She had taken a large amount of his treasure by convincing her daughter that she needed more dresses all the time.

He knew how greedy the woman was.

“My lord, this is the first time you have called me instead of the lady. I am honored. How shall I serve you? Should I prepare a new suit for you or would you like to look for a new brochure?

I have also got new cufflinks that would be perfect for every occasion, and…” before she could offer further, the count threw two bags of gold on the table towards her.

The coins clunked in the process and just by the size of it, she knew that it was more than she earned in a whole year.

Her eyes widened with the presence of so much money while her eyes field with the shine of gold. She hurried, ran and bent to open the bags and as she had thought, the bags were filled to the brim with new coins that were shining more than stars.

“Oh my, what kind of jewel you want me to prepare to offer me this much!” she was sure it would be enough to even buy a small mine on the outskirts.

“I want you to prepare a bunch of dresses for a guest of mine!”

“Huh! Just that?” her face filled with bewilderment as it was too much to offer. Could it be that the count had a mistress and the extra money was to keep her mouth shut about his extra marital affairs.

A smirk formed on her face when the thought crossed her mind but before she could open her mouth and tell them that her lips would stay sealed he threw a dagger towards her taking the breath out of her body.

“What.. what was that for?” she asked as she patted her chest and closed her eyes. She was scared so much that she would have passed out.

Thank goodness the dagger passed without even touching her.

“That was thrown to bring you back to your senses! What in the world were you thinking huh?” her thoughts were shown so clearly on her face that he wanted to kill her right away.

The woman could ruin her happy marriage with so much nonsense that was just in her imagination. If he had not needed her, he would have killed her right away.

“Do not imagine much. It would cost you your life. Come here and listen to what you need to do or forget about the reward you would be punished severely.

I want you to make a few dresses with special arrangements. You have to…”
