Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

“A new councilman! That is surprising. I thought Edward was going to handle the case till the end.” Hazel had finally gained her composure back and was following Anne to meet the new councilman where Rafael was already gone.

“I have thought so too.” nodded Anne but then she shrugged her soldiers, “I think he will be back soon. Since the new one is a young man with a little experience.

But he might be a good choice in supporting your proposal since he is not shrewd like others yet.”

Anne spoke with such conviction that Hazel felt surprised. Her sister was introverted and hardly met or talked to others.

As they walked to the room, Hazel noticed the man was already sitting with Rafael, and giving him advice with a lot of reports in his hands.

She entered with Anne who was staring at the files on the table too.

“And this is the report of Marquis Afleshire, though he is a middle aged man, he had a good image in the society and his daughter Lady Celina often takes part in all the political meetings and gatherings.

They have been neutral since the start when it comes to co living of different species. So, they might be a good choice.” The young man passed the file to Rafael who was reading them with interest.

Not because he was interested in the lives of those lowly humans. But he was told that this fine man was only chosen last night to assist him and he must have taken the carriage in half an hour to reach here early in the morning.

Yet he had prepared files on all the nobles in the empire even when they were living in the countryside from the start.

With the shaky writing, he was sure the man had stayed awake all night in the carriage and wrote all these files.

“Where did you get all the data from?” asked Rafael, putting down the files when Hazel walked towards him.

He held her by the waist and inspite of offering the next chair to her, he pulled her in his arms and made her sit on his lap.

Hazel wrapped her hands around his neck and leaned. She did not seem to mind this awkward position.

The face of the man was burnt. His parted lips to reply stayed that way without a word coming out from them for a few seconds when his face flushed.

Anne rolled her eyes as she came and sat beside the young man.

“You know, staring for long is rude!” she whispered slowly though everyone in the room heard her well when the man realized that he was staring at the wife of the lord and looked away.

“Cough cough! Cough!” Hazel chuckled as she agreed with her sister. The boy was a lamb among the beast.

Councilman never show their emotions on their faces. They started with a straight face even when they saw others killing each other.

But the emotions of the man were all over his face and words.

“That.. I have grown up in the capital and my father works in the administration department of the empire.

Though he is only a clerk, I have often gone to help him when I was young. So, I have heard a lot about every noble in the empire and I have met them a few times.” he said, finally gaining his composure back.

“More than that, I like to keep myself aware.” his voice still trembled a bit but he looked back into the eyes of Rafael all this time as Anne had advised her.

He was trying so hard. A soft smile formed on her face as she felt that the man was worth teaching.

“Hmm, I am amazed at your hard work from the first day.” said the lord, bringing a surprising smile to the face of the man who felt relieved. The girl was right, Lord was easy to deal with.

“But it would not be needed! You must have known that we had prepared all these files before the death of Vincent.

Working hard is only recognized when it is needed, otherwise it is nothing more than wasting resources.” alright! He would take his words back.

The lord was only making fun of him. He nodded his head with an embarrassed face as he picked up his files back and arranged them neatly.

No matter what others said, he had done hard work on them and he was sure that his files had a lot of inside information about their dealings.

“But there is another reason that i didn’t need these files.” he looked back at the lord who was looking into the eyes of his wife who smiled and nodded her head.

Could they stop showing their affection in front of him? It was like abusing the singles.

“We do not need to choose anymore. I have decided who will be the new ruler.” that surprised the man, he looked at the lord with wide eyes.

“Have you already??” he asked back like fools before he could sink the words in his mind, “if that is the case then my work of assisting you is already done.”

A look of relief could be seen on his face. He took out some blank parchment from his suitcase with an excited look on his face.

“You can only give me the name and current position of the person and I will prepare the rest of the report on my way to the council.” he said as he felt his body have turned lighter with all the burden lifting off suddenly.

He held the nib tightly in his hands and then stared at the lord for his reply.

“Making a file will not be needed since we are not giving the position to any outsider or lower noble.

But the position would go to the only heir that is not punished.“ The man looked at Rafael with shock and then at Hazel who was looking back at him confidently.

“The youngest daughter of the emperor, Hazel!”
