Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Their eyes that have nothing but hate soon changed into a loving family who was gentle and caring when she stood in front of them with Rafael.

Estella walked closer and hugged Hazel, “oh my, you have become slim. Have you not eaten well these past few months?

You should take more care of yourself now that you are married. After all, you can be a mother anytime.” it would look like the lady was too worried for her daughter but hazel could feel the pressure of her hands that were on her back. As if she wanted to crush her under her arms and show who has the authority.

She had thought hazel would take the message and tremble under her arms. It was necessary to subdue her from the start since she was flying too high into the sky.

“Thank you, mother. I never knew that you had seen me before my wedding. Since you were not present even in the ceremony and never came to the annex building ever when I used to live there._.

I am touched!” holding Estella’s hands tightly in her grip, Hazel took them away from her back and held Estella’s hands between her hands with the force she had.

Her hands that used to be soft and tender had turned calloused due to the sword training she had received in the past days from both Damien and Lucian. Her grip was far stronger from the woman who had spent all her life in luxury and not held anything heavy ever.

Estella’s eyes cracked when she felt the strong pressure from the girl who had never dared to raise her head in the past two decades when she used to live here.

The overbearing auraa was stronger and so was the pressure in her eyes as if she was looking down on them. Estella could never bear it. But she knew that it was neither time nor the place to act. She had to hold in.

She could hear the whispers, so she let Hazel go but she could not move her hands even an inch when a smirk formed on Hazel’s face. As if she was challenging her to take her hands back if she dared.

“You!” Estella fumed. What the hell did her fertility blood think of herself? Raising her head in front of her, she had been completely brazen and shameless.

“You must be tired. Why don’t you come in and rest.” forcing the smile on her face that looked strained no matter how you see it, she asked hazel to leave her hands, which she finally let go of with a smile.

“Welcome brother in law!” Both men spoke in unison while the princess just nodded her head to both of them as she could not hide the disgust in her eyes for long.

Rafael only nodded his head to all of them while observing their every action. A genuine smile formed on his face that was full of arrogance when he saw what hazell did to the old lady who was dressed like she was a maiden.

Unlike vampires, humans age faster and look old yet they try to behave like they were young that looked full of deception and foolishness to Rafael.

Once the courtesies were done they all walked in, in silence when Rafael was the first to speak.

“I have thought that his majesty would come to welcome me personally since he looked too eager to meet me in the letter.” his eyes scanned the passage and the paintings on the walls carefully as if he was trying to find a hidden clue in them.

The woman tried to smile again though it was evident that she was losing her patience after what happened with Hazel a few minutes ago.

“He was going to come, but we received a guest from the council. I did not know who informed them about your visit but they thought it was a good chance to show the world that we have cordial relations with vampires.

I must say the council is too sharp to not let a family gathering go unnoticed without their benefit.” she chuckled as she knew that he was the head of the council now.

He was the one who was making them astray as they used to work just fine before but now they were meddling too much in their affairs as if they have nothing else to do.

“Thank you, I am glad that they are learning to be wise. There is never smoke without fire. So, if the commoners would know that an esteemed and royal family like yours are pleading vampires to come to your home and be your guest, then they follow the trend too.

After all, we all are collected here so that humans can learn they could not exist for long if they continued to challenge higher beings. There is nothing wrong in realizing where you belong. But it is only beneficial in the long run.

Or else, can you imagine what would happen if you attack a higher being like a vampire when you think he is alone.

He would just come and grab your frail neck and snap it like it was a small twig and then drink all the blood you can offer.

I must say that it would be a gruesome death and only a fool human would try to act like that. Right mother in law.” her face lost all the colors as she knew what he was talking about.

Though they knew that knights may lose, she was still shocked when she saw him unscathed standing in front of her. Though her children did not know, she knew how much effort they had placed in planning that ambush.

And now he was threatening her to kill her. Her body fell into cold sweat when she tried to maintain that smile on her face.

“But I am glad that you are not that foolish. After all, I have not been a benevolent man since the start. I hope you have heard enough about me to do something foolish. right?”
