Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

A strong pain and blurry images started to fill her mind when she felt like she would never be able to get out of this nightmare but soon her body started to tremble.

When she opened her eyes, she was in her room as her father had instructed. Was she really going to spend her rest of the time here?

She blinked and tried to stand up when she realized that her body was too heavy. The room was so dark that she was not able to see anything when she held the side of her bed and tried to stand up.

“I would not have done that if i would have been at your place. Your body is still weak and under the effects of the medicine. You should rest more.” She was not able to make out where the man was standing but she could recognize the voice even in the dark.

Her heart felt a bit at ease as she sat on the bed silently. The man walked towards her from the recliner chair he was resting at and lit the lamp near her.

There was a glass of water in his hands which she took gladly. She was feeling parched. She drank the whole glass in a single swig and then stared at him._.

She wanted to tell him what happened in his absence but he beat her to it.

“Your father had mixed poison in your food. He wanted to kill you and put the blame on me.”

“Huh?” she frowned when he sighed and sat beside her.

“He tried his best to put the blame on me and told everyone that I tried to kill her in his presence so that I could shrug my responsibility on him and he would be the one who would get the punishment.

But in the end, the maid confessed that it was him who had ordered her to mix the poison in your food.

The council is here. They are investigating everyone but the poison was strange that was made up by mixing small herbs of various ailments human would suffer, so there is no way that a vampire knew about such kind of poison and use it

And i was not here since morning and i did not know any staff here would do the deed in my absence. All the proofs are against him but i did not understand why your father would do such a foolish thing?” confusion filled his voice as he rubbed his forehead.

His fangs were visible, indicating that he was hungry as he licked them unconsciously while taking the glass back from her hands.

“This time he had dug his grave by himself. I tried so hard to find the rest of the Beryllium, but I think it would not be needed anymore and the case would be closed with his punishment.” he added with a tone that did not conceal any kind of emotion.

A warm smile filled his face as he turned to look at her again,  “and that would be the start of your freedom. Once everything is done, you are free to go wherever you want.

I have already asked Diana to arrange sufficient gold and jewels for you that would be enough for your next seven generations. You can take Lucian with you too.

If you need anything do tell me. You have been a great support in the whole journey. And I would not have done it without you! Well, maybe I would have since I have never been defeated.” he chuckled with a signature smug smile on his face but the color of her face stayed ashen.

All his words continued to swirl in her mind but she was not able to believe that it all ended?

Though his father could be one of them, he was not the mastermind.

“What about Vincent?” she asked carefully when he raised a brow as if asking what about him?

“I mean, would he get punished too?” he stared at her face to understand what she was thinking before shaking his head.

“No! He would not be. He is the one who helped in solving the case and he had supported the truth and went against his father.

He said that he had seen the maid mixing something in the food but at that time, he didn’t pay much heed to it.

Strange, I thought that he hated vampires like others but he had even invited Diana for a meal and seemed to be interested in her.

I wonder if I will ever be able to understand humans!” he shook his head and rubbed his neck, another sign of his hunger and fatigue.

She could see that he was not doubting Vincent a bit. But the Vincent he was portraying was so different then the Vincent she knew.

It took her a minute to understand that Rafael was not his target since the start but her father. But why? He was his father too and it could not be for the throne since he was the crown prince. Sooner or later it would have been all his!

Then why did he need to play dirty and force him to death while even jeopardizing his position in front of vampires.

“Sigh! You are tired and I started blabbering all that. You should rest hazel, we can always discuss the details later. Your face is still looking ashen.,

It must be hard on you.” he rubbed the back of her hand from his thumb when she felt all the blood draining out of her body.

“Rafael! I have made a grave mistake. That Vincent.. He is not like you think. He is the one..”

“I know! I know that he is not that simple and he is hiding a lot. It must be his dirty trick to get the position of his father but it had nothing to do with the dirty acts of humans. He had personally written a letter of apology and extended the terms of the peace treaty signed and supported by the council. That is all I need for going back.”
