Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"I will put off the fire first then!" He stood up ready to leave when she nodded and sat in front of the girls.

She kept staring at the girl when her lips moved and whispered inaudible words.

Slowly, the girls who were looking lost in sleep for forever started blinking their eyes and opened them softly.

As if the last moment of their memories had started to fill them again, they trembled and looked around with fear.

"Who put you here?"

"I.. I was kidnapped from my home when I was taking a walk into the garden. I did not know who brought me here." she replied softly as she tried to sit and looked around.

"What about you?" Hazel asked the other girl with a calm voice showing not even a least bit of hurry.

"I was on my way to meet his highness the crown prince. He had sent a letter to me.`` At least, one had the idea.. "But suddenly a group of ruffians blocked the way and brought me here. They must have wanted money from my family." she concluded with a nod and hazel sighed.

She had no idea that Vincent was the one who had kidnapped her.

She turned to look at the other girl who spoke without asking, "I am the single daughter of Viscount Herbert, I was on my way to my singing class. I was selected to sing in the last day's concert of the festival in the royal palace. I did not remember much but I was sleeping in my carriage on my way to the concert hall.

It.. it must be the sweet the guard has given me telling it was his daughter's birthday. That scoundrel!" She clenched her fists in anger as she felt that she was tricked by him and then kidnapped.

All three of them did not raise a finger of Vincent that made her wonder if she had found the proof against Vincent or did charity by saving the kidnapped girls.

Her hops were giving up when she looked at the last girl, who looked awkward since she was the only commoner among the group and knew that the girl sitting in front of them was a princess.

"I.. I apologize for my manners. But I have just woken up and am afraid. So, I forgot to greet the princess properly. You may not know me but I work in the palace. I went to the market to buy supplies." she replied swiftly with a trembling body when all the girls who were taking themselves as a precious daughter or rich and noble families turned to look at her.

She was wearing a torn and burnt dress but if looked closely it was an expensive one. But it was stained with blood and there was dirt and mud on them.

"Oh, my! I have never thought that you are a princess with that look of yours." said the one as she fanned herself. There was no respect or apology in her tone or words.

"Cough cough! I apologise for not recognizing you too princess. But with your look and actions, Who should have guessed it!" added another and the last one nodded while staring intently at Hazle to make sure that she was really a princess but not a fake one.

As if she continued to look intently she would be able to know the truth.

"That is not the point here! If you have noticed, you all were taken and the building was lit to burn. If i would not have been here, you would have burnt to a crisp." she replied in an exaggerated manner and if she had risked her life to save all of them.

Their pale faces lost colors further as they all were afraid of death.

"That.. Thank you princess, I would work all my life for you." said the maid first as she knew that she could not repay the princess in any other way.

"I will ask my father to give you a fief for saving me." said the third one with a look of gratitude too.

"We will give you enough gifts for repayment too." muttered the rest of the two though they were not sure what could be a small level noble gift to a princess who had it all.

"We can even ask our father to support your husband if you want!" if she is a princess, then she must be the sacrificial wife of the blood sucking monster who was here to gain the trust of humans.

If they spoke in his favour, then there were many nobles who would follow the lead. What else could she desire for!

They all felt their confidence coming back with that thought.

"Tsk! Do you think your few words could change my fate? You are giving too much importance to yourself!" Hazel rolled her eyes. They were typical noble ladies who think money and power could change the fate of everyone and that was all coveted by everyone.

"And you! I don't need someone to work for me for free. I have enough gold to buy the whole empire.'' She lied. Though she had nothing with her, she was sure that vampires were filthy rich due to their long lives and treasures they have found around them.

She had not seen the treasure herself but had seen Diana and Scarlet filled with gold and rare gems. It's just her husband was not perceptive enough but he had given her the best ring for their marriage.

She shook her head as it started to drift away.

"I wanted to tell you that all of you would not have been kidnapped for money if the person had not tried to burn you.

So, think of the reason." she spoke in a slow manner and then pointed at the girl who was kidnapped from her carriage, "You.. you said that you were going to meet prince Vincent. How do you know him? And all of you, do you have any other connection too?"
