Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 439 – A Long Night

“Wait.. wait a minute, your majesty.” the man stood up with a look of panic on his face when he saw her leaving.. “I.. I want to talk about the papers you sent too, there are some mistakes in it.”

She lifted a brow and sat again while waiting for him to explain it further.

“Luhan is already handling the post of marquis in the empire. Since he was working with humans already, he did not have much time to handle the matters of the province. Why not choose an older one to take care of such things.”

He said in a flattering tone as he passed her the last paper where she had signed.

“Ah, is that so.. Too bad! I do not trust any of you. I only know Luhan and want to give him a chance but when it comes to elders, I did not know anything about them. Do i?” she still had that warm smile on her face but her eyes had turned colder.

She didn’t like these kind of greedy men who let others work all the time and when it comes to reaping benefits, they wanted to get the privilege.

“If so, we would like to invite you to our humble abode so that we can sit and know each other well. We have many policies in our mind too. This will be a good chance to discuss the future of the witches in the empire.” he offered with a smile that was full of flattery when she looked back at him.

“I did not see the benefit of it though.” she shook her head when the smile on the face of the man froze. He was sure that she would be convinced she wanted to work on the welfare of the witches too.

“But since you have come here personally with the request. I will grant you your wish. Would tomorrow be okay?” she asked as she waved her hands and a maid brought a small diary where her schedule was written.

The stiffened face of the man relaxed instantly. He knew that he was not going to return empty handed.

“Yes, that would be perfect, your majesty. I am once again grateful that you took out your precious time for us today and for tomorrow too.” Hazel just waved her hands at his extra sweetness.

She knew that sweet things are first to rot and get pests too.

The men left after bowing his head with a smiling face ubt only Luhan was stiff from start to end.

She watched how he stole his gaze when their eyes met and her eyes filled with mirth.

As they walked out, she saw Diana standing near the door and talking to the butler.

Her gaze met Luhan’s and she glared at him as if they were mortal enemies. She did not know that Luhan knew Diana. Interesting!

Luhan did not pause or react. He went out with the elder he had come when Dianah scoffed and looked away.

She left with the clinking of her high heels while Hannah stood up.

She needed a man that supported her. It felt so strange to check everything by herself. She needs to hire more men.

Rafael was already waiting for her at the door. He smiled as he kissed her hands,

“I hope they did not give you any trouble!” Hazel shook her head. They were too docile for her to believe.

“They want me to have dinner with them tomorrow. Are you busy?” he shook his head instantly without even checking though she knew that council was on the edge with the way he is not going at all there.

“What about your meeting? How did it go?” it had been so long since he had left his territories and was living with her here.;

“Hmm, Scarlet is a good leader. I do not need to worry about anything as long as she is there. But..” he paused and looked at her with worry that raised her brow. “But she said that she is tired after a long journey and wanted a few days break here.”

“She wanted to stay here in the human palace?” That was surprising. Hazel was sure that Scarlet had ulterior motives to stay here.

“If she did anything suspicious, I would be the first one to stand against her.” as if reading her mind, he said so whole rubbing her hands he was still holding.

Hazel started hard at him. Would it not be better to just refuse her, while taking the risk to let them stay here in the first place and then deal with the mess they would create.

“You have to trust me on this one, hazel.” he did not explain to her but she knew that he already had something in his mind.

Since she could see such a simple thing, there was no way that he could not.

“Alright, then I will arrange their stay in the annex building where there is no human staff.” she said when he nodded.

At least, they would not be in the same building with her.

She nodded her head with an exhausted look.

“You do not need to worry about it so much. I will handle them.” he assured her again as he pulled her in his arms and rubbed her back soothingly while she rubbed her head on his chest.

The warmth of his chest soothes her and makes her feel better.

“Now that we have started everything. How about we go and take a sip of wine and spend time together. Hmm?” he whispered in her ears leaving a shiver in her spine.

She could feel the desire in his voice but she wanted that too. She wanted to be in his arms and moan her name, so she nodded.

He picked up the wine and glasses from the nearby table and held her in his arms and carried her into princess style in their room.

“I promise that it is going to be a long night.”
