“He is right, we have some private matters to discuss. Therefore, stay here. I will call for you later. And do not create any trouble in the meanwhile.” she could see how his hands on the sword tightened when Vincent had ordered him.
If she would not intervene, then he would attack Vincent any second.
Lucian titled his head and stared at her as if asking why she was chaining him with her words. He could just cut the head off of his body and silence him for forever. His eyes were so cold and dead that she could feel his lust for blood from that far and shuddered.
“Did you not understand me?” she asked in a more domineering voice. If she would not be able to subdue him then war would start by tonight.
Who knows how much Berelium they hold. Rafael and Damien might be strong enough but she was sure not every vampire would be strong enough to save himself from the attack.
As their empress, she had to handle the matter wisely.
“Tsk! You have not trained him well. That dog did not even listen to its master! Give it to me, I will teach it properly this time.” not only calling him dog, Vincent was even using it for Lucian, telling him where he belonged.
He didn’t even take him as a threat. For him slaves were no more than rugs which are used to clean the shoes. They have no life or emotions. They were there only to be trampled.
Woman slaved could still be used to warm the bed, but male slaves, they are only there for getting killed. Yet their meat could not be eaten. What a waste! Buying animals was better than buying them.
“Come we have to go. I have other things to handle after showing you your room. If he would bark again, there would be many shadow knights to teach him a lesson.“He held her wrist and pulled her to the other side, when she gave one last look to Lucian with stern eyes.
“That would not happen. I am sure he knew that I am still her mistress and I still have the ring that controlled him. He would not dare to go against me in front of others, right, slave?” this time, he nodded. Though he was still furious, he could feel that beneath those domineering voices, her eyes were pleading to him to behave. Not for her but for his life since she would not be able to save him again and again.
She turned and left with him but in reality, he had started dragging her a bit. She had thought this time, she would be more confident and would face all of them well. If she could handle the night creature then she would definitely be able to handle these trash humans but the fear of the past had started to crawl her heart. When it comes to those who had trampled on her for the past two decades, she still felt weak in front of them.
“We are here!” She did not realize that they had already climbed the stairs as she had closed her eyes when she had felt the snickering gazes of the maids while she was holding his hands.
She wanted to shout that they could not see he was the one who was dragging him, yet they were looking at her with those eyes as if she was an indecent one.
Ha! Those prejudiced women who feel hatred for everyone when they could not get what they wanted.
He opened the door slowly and turned to look at him as if asking why are you still standing there.
Gulping, she walked in. He could not hurt her or could do anything bad with her. If he would do so, then Rafael would have a chance to start the war in council and blame them.
Yes! She was safe, he could only tease her and flare her. He was not a fool to lay a hand on her when she had come here and an envoy of another kingdom.
Repeating the same words in her heart, she took a slow step towards the room and entered in.
But her eyes widened when she noticed that her mother and Liam were already there with her father. She still shiver when she felt the intimidating eyes of the man on her.
Liam pulled her and threw her on a plush chair as they all surrounded her.
“What the hell do you think you are doing huh? After wearing expensive jewels and luxurious clothing have you lost your mind and sold your soul to the monsters?
Have you ever forgotten that they kill humans and drink their blood? Or have you forgotten that you are a human after living with them for so long?” her father’s voice was low but daunting as he stared at her with his cold eyes.
He was looking at her as if she was some pest and even her presence was making them filthy too.
“She even dared to put me in prison when I went to remind her about her task. She has become a bold father. She is thinking of betraying us. It would be better if we would get rid of her father or she would tell the truth to that monster and all our hard work and plans would go down the drain. She did not deserve to live since she had lost her usefulness.” usefulness! Ha! She wanted to laugh over all of them.
For them she was nothing but a tool and if she would not follow their orders like an obedient dog, she did not deserve to live. Her life was more pathetic than a dog!
“Even I feel the same, honey. She is a ticking time bomb for all of us. Let’s kill her here and we would tell Rafael that Hazel ran away after leaving a letter.
She hated him and was waiting for a chance to return back to human land so that she could run away and start a new life.”
