Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord-Chapter 13 The Arrogance Of The Scared Girl

“Now that you ask about it, I have a few complaints!”

“……” She looked at them with a pleasing smile but her eyes were sharp and alert.

As the words left her mouth, the expressions of the old man suddenly turned grim. For generations, humans and vampires were cohabiting together, but in the past few days, the conditions were becoming miserable with more humans dying at the hands of Vampires and the situation was waging a war.

It had taken great efforts to create an alliance of marriage or else the three empires could end up in war.

The situation was more sensitive than it was shown. There was no place for mistakes, that was why he had asked to choose the meekest girl that would never complain and always present a good image that she had been treated very well here..

Who would have thought that the girl would come in the arms of the darkest emperor yet complain. How was she a kind and meek girl?

“That.. I was alone in my marriage. Could it be called a difficulty that I have to kiss a sword instead of a living being?” she asked as she pointed to the vampire to let her go now.

She had finally found the answer to all her questions. It was this man! He was the one who could ensure that she would stay alive and healthy as he needed her to show the cordial relationship between humans and vampires.

“Ah, that! The place where you live is too warm. That could affect the health of the night creatures. If you want a wedding with proper traditions, you could always plan one here, since you are the new empress!” replied the man with a courteous tone but his voice was full of pressure as if telling there was no space for further discussion. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

And before she could reply the lady sitting there stood up and looked at the girl with a frown on her face,

“To think that you would start to complain the moment you would enter the palace, I wonder how the humans had trained you to stand against us!

How could a person like you be the one ruling us!?” her tone was sharp and poisonous and so was her eyes. She was shooting daggers at Hazel, the moment she had entered the room in the arms of Rafael.

“And to ask me that, you are….??” She raised a brow as she walked past them and sat on the chair and passed a lazy look to the lady who was glaring at her without even a single ounce of worry on her face.

She was sitting there alone while everyone else was standing, showing how arrogant and strong she was! But only she knew that she sat because she was afraid that her knees would give away and she would fell on the floor by the pressure the vampires were emitting on her.

Rafael, who could hear her heartbeats just like her words, had an amused and curious smile on her face. How the girl was so scared yet she was not ready to show it to others.

“You! Do you think just because you are chosen as the bride of the vampire lord, you could show this much arrogance? Even he is standing, then what right do you have to sit like that?” Scarlet could not bear that a mere human was trying to show that she was superior to them!

“Tsk! You are so noisy! Did you see my husband complaining? Then who are you to ask such questions?” asked Hazel without even passing the woman any further glance, afraid that she would beat her the moment their eyes would meet.

As if finally gaining the right path, Scarlet raised her head and looked at Rafael, she knew more than anyone how eccentric the man was! He killed people just for fun then how could he bear a girl that was challenging her authority directly.

“Rafael!” she called him with an aggrieved tone as she pointed at the girl. “Would you stand there silently while the girl continued to insult us?” her tone turns sharper again when her eyes fell on the girl who was sitting there with crossed legs and closed eyes as if she had already been tired of the discussion!

“Oh! Is she?” he asked with an exaggerated surprise in a gentle tone as he walked towards the other side of the table and sat on his seat leisurely.

“I did not know when she did that? All she did was to ask who were you to command her, when I did not mind that she had sat on the chair!!

Since she had travelled so far, she must be tired. There is nothing wrong with taking some rest. Is it?” he asked as he tilted his head and looked at Scarlett.

“….” his words not only stunned Scarlet but Edward and Hazel were stupefied too. Hazel had done nothing but sit in the carriage all this time, so how could her legs be tried. It was as lame as their empire was warm when she left the palace full of snow!

But she kept her silent. She could not fathom what the man was thinking so she did not want to go against him. As long as he was supporting her whims, she would just bask in that glory. Who knows that could be her last breath.

When her eyes went to Edward again, how much was his presence able to secure her?

“You? Are you supporting her?” asked Scarlet in a tone that was filled with shock and complaint but a single gaze from the man turned her mouth shut in an instant.

“Do not mind her! She is my aunt, Lady Scarlet. She was the one who used to handle the affairs of the palace so far. And now she would train you to handle everything and deal with all the conditions.

So, you would work under her till you learn your duties as an empress!”
