Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Hazel’s eyes softened, she felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart as her hands wrapped around the back of the young boy.

He was looking scared, hurt and apologetic.

“You do not need to worry, I did not mind that. In fact, I was the one who scared you.” though she did not know what was happening to her body. She felt like someone was possessing her with no control over it.

She was not panicking since the soul is helping her in solving her problems but that did not mean that she was not scared. Then how could she expect the kids to not be afraid of her.

“But..” the boy looked anxious. He felt that his true feelings did not reach her. But she ruffled his hair and smiled brightly, easing his worries.

“Forget about that, tell me did you enjoy your time here?  Do you get a good meal and what else do you do in your free time? “ She could see that the kids were enjoying playing and looking happy here._-.

“Tsk! If someone would hear you, they would think I really am an evil witch who was doing evil experiments on the kids and then tormenting them.” Julia returned with an ugly expression on her face with hurried steps.

“We are happy here, my lady. We are well fed and given warm rooms that even have a fireplace to keep us warm. We play and are even learning music and other skills to earn in the future.

Would you like to hear my piano practice?” Hazel nodded as the eyes of the boy shone like stars.

She was relieved that they were living well and even had a future plan since she was sure she would not be able to look after them forever.

“She would later. But for now, we adults need to discuss business. So, why don’t you return back to your group and continue that foolish game or yours. Hmm?” she waved her hands with a bit of annoyance when the boy looked back at hazel but in the end, nodded his head and left.

Others tried to drag Lucian with them but he crouched on the ground and tried to explain to the kids that he did not join them when he felt a push.

“Go on, who needs you? I need to talk with this friend of yours anyway.”

“But aunt.. What do you..” he frowned as he knew that it would be nothing good if it was coming from the mouth of her cranky old greedy aunt who was always frowning.

But Hazel just smiled at him as if he was a kid.. He did not know why but he felt like she knew what he was thinking. As if she could read her mind. The thought shuddered him as he blinked and stared at her when she laughed.

Hazel laughed and patted his shoulders as if he really was a kid.

“Go on, Lucian. I can take care of myself, you do not need to babysit me.” she waved her hands and then walked away with the aunt before he could reply.

The maid who was standing there with an awkward look on her face while holding the skirt tightly in her hands felt more anxious when Hazel left but Lucan took her with him to take care of the kids.

“I have checked the hair again.” Julia started as she took out the silver hair from the pocket. “It shows that you are a human through and through,. Your both parents were human and there is not a single ounce of magic in your blood.” her face turned uglier with every word she spoke as if there was something bitter in her mouth and she was not able to digest it.

“And?” Hazel was not in a hurry. She knew that the blind man to whom Rafael had taken her said the same thing but at the same time she could feel the flow of magic in her blood.

She was sure that she could cast spells. Spells strong enough to kill anyone or even give another life to a dead person.

“And! And what.. You tell me what are you? When I look at you, I do not feel like I am looking at a human.

What are you and how are you hiding your powers? No.. how do you know that we are witches and how..” she pinched the space between her brows and then threw a punch at the table and slammed it hard to show her anger.

“Either, you tell me the truth or forget about taking help from me no matter what you offer to me.” her stern voice filled the air as she looked at hazel with a demanding voice but was shocked to see her serene and calm face.

She felt like she was a clown that was dancing in front of the audience when she stared at Hazel who was not a bit affected by her anger.

“I know that you want to know the trust. But I do not have the answers you are seeking. I have thought that you would be the one to give me answers.

All I know is that my father is a human, the emperor of the empire and my mother died giving birth to me so there is no way for me to know about her.

All my life, I have lived like a normal human. But this is not what a human could do.” she raised her hands in the air making Julia flabbergasted.

She was so shocked to see the waves of death, the dark rays, that had lethal poison that a single touch of them and human or a witch died then and there were dancing on her hands as if they were light or wind.

She had never seen a witch doing that. She took a few steps backward creating distance between them while her eyes shrink with fear when her lips moved but no words come out

“You… are you a devil or its child??”
