Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 433

Marquis stared at everyone who was already looking at her with disdain. Their faces were saying “tsk tsk! Did you think that you would be treated especially?”

His whole face burnt red. He was promised a higher position in exchange for the votes he had spent. In exchange for betraying the duke, he had followed for a long time.

“But i.. I was offered the higher position.” he said blatantly earning many gasps from the people around him when Hazel nodded her head without a shame.

“And the position of duke is higher than marquis. I am never going to decline what i promised.” she passed him the papers of her properties with a noble look on her face.

“……..” the papers of properties felt like a big slap on his cheeks that burnt.

He wanted to throw the papers on her face and flip the table but he endured. She was the empress and he was just a marquis. He had to wait until his chance would come.

But he promised himself that he would teach this woman a lesson.

“Next, the count,” the man had left the hopes after looking at the condition of marquis.

He was one of those too who had sold his votes.

“The count would be given the charge to control the land of Rubidium. It was one of the richest fiefs, so I am sure that he would not have any complaints.” she smiled when the man nodded and bowed his head.

He did not have the courage to challenge her in front of everyone.

Though she was right that those lands were richest but it was because of the crime rate there. Many criminals belong to that area.

And a cowardly man like him would never be able to earn with this kind of land. She was just mocking him for his innate nature.

But he did not have the courage to say so.

“Next..” she kept distributing the position and power for the next hour.

​ Many nobles had ugly faces when they left from the meeting hall while a few of them were beaming with joy with the change.

The faces of the commoners were shining like the soft glow of winter sun too.

The council nodded her head, “my lord, since the powers were transferred well, and her majesty had already completed her first meeting successfully, i think it is time for us to leave.” Rafael, whose face was filled with pride while looking at his wife, nodded his head.

“Then, we will expect your presence in the council tomorrow too. There is a case that we wanted to discuss. It is..” a look of annoyance filled the face of Rafael who placed his hands on the face of the young councilman.

“Are you not married yet, Chris?” the young man shook his head with a look of confusion.

“Then do you want all of us to be single too? You should leave now that such a big problem is solved.

I will come to the council when I return to my empire.” with that he patted the shoulder of the nodding man once and left leaving the man dazed.

“Wait! When is he even returning back?” the man felt cheated but there was nothing he could do.

As the nobles and councilman left. Only Declan, Anne, Hazel were left in the room with Rafael who came close and hugged Hazel from behind.

“That was a tremendous job. You did well my dear wife!” he exclaimed when she smiled with joy.

“I know, even Luhan wanted to invite me to meet with his elders. If things went this way, I am sure we would be done here in less than a month.” she smiled as she turned and hugged him back.

Anne shifted her weight from one foot to another when they became intimate in front of them while Declan was staring at her with such a strong gaze.

She turned to leave but before she take a first step out of the room, hazel called her again,

“Anne! I needed help. Do you have some time?’ Anne stopped and turned to look at her with solemn gaze as she nodded her head.

“I still did not trust Luhan and Celina. Will you both go and check one of them separately. You do not need to contact each other but can you inform me directly?” She looked at Anne and then Declan who nodded his head instantly.

Anne paused and then nodded her head slowly, “i will go and check Luhan.” with that she walked out of the room without looking back and Hazel sighed.

“It is going to be more difficult than i have thought.,” she looked at Declan with worry.

Though he did deserve that. But Anne was hurting herself too the more she was trying to hurt Declan.

“Tsk! I have told you but you said that i should have been prepared for it. Now do not try to act like a kind woman.” he said with a scoff when he felt killing intent from Rafael whose fangs were already out.

Declan rolled his eyes. “There was no need to be so defensive. I am working for your wife, so I will not dare to hurt her. We demons are too loyal to our masters.” he said with a wave of his hands only then did Rafael retract his gaze from him.

Declan clicked his tongue with the sound of a “task” before leaving the room too.

“I did not understand why you were forcing Anne to accept the one who had hurt her so much?” he asked with a frown as he saw Declan’s retreating figure with annoyance.

“Surprisingly, he was there to deceive her but he did not. When Anne was attacked, he gave her his power to protect herself and even stopped attacking me when I was busy attacking others.

His emotions took over him. Though he still did mistake but his feelings for Anne are true.”
