Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 455 - 455 [Bonus chapter]



Anne looked at Hazel with eyes holding no emotion and then started walking away as if she did not hear her.

“Anne! Are you…”

“I have collected the information about Lucio. Give me some time and I will come to your office with it.” she muttered in a hollow voice as she walked away and opened the door of her room.

“But Anne..” the door was closed before Hazel could ask another word and she sighed.

“Give her some time. You are being too harsh on her by forcing her to work with Declan.” Rafael closed the file in his hands and stared at Helen who came back to office with her slumped shoulders like a deflated balloon.

Helen passed him a glare but did not reply. Her own thoughts are a mess.

“You should better think about your mother and the problem of witches. So, that we can leave from here. I am afraid, I have to leave soon since Diana and Scarlet are here too now.” he said with a troubled voice when she sighed.

She knew it had been a year since he had left everything to accompany her.

.....

“Mmm, i am going to announce the punishment of my father and my mother. Of course, I can not touch my siblings but then.. Without the support of my parents, I am sure, their plans for revenge would die soon.” she said as she pressed the bell of the room.

“But I am sure solving the problem of the witches would not be this easy. Would it?” he shook his head for her though she already knew it.

“They are unwelcoming creatures. They would not even accept a dark witch that easily, forget about vampires and humans. They are full of…”

“...... mistrust since they have suffered too. Just because my mother was a cruel one, you can not blame them all.” Rafael stared at her with intense burning eyes before taking a deep sigh. He knew that she was not going to listen to him anyway

“I am going out with some councilmen. They wanted to show me the land and the areas where beryllium was found. They said they had recently felt another activity there.” her eyes turned serious when he shook his head, telling her not to worry.

Standing up from his place, he kissed her forehead and picked up his coat.

“I will be back soon. Do not go and talk to Scarlet if she comes looking for trouble. And do not push Anne again, she needs some rest too.” Hazel stared at the man who treated her like a kid with worry but nodded her head when he raised a brow making him chuckle.

She stared at his leaving figure and sat back on her seat.

“The files you have asked for, your majesty. I have brought all of them.” her new assistant Xion came forward with a bunch of documents in his hands.

The files were about the incidents of witches. There were a few who had been killed after kidnapping young women and kids.

She and Rafael had attacked a few of them in the past. Firstly she had to get rid of such cases and build a good image of them.

“This is the list of the witches that had been caught by the council in the last year.” he took out a file from the bunch, “and these are the list of divine priests you wanted to know.” he took out another file and placed it in front of her though he did not understand what she was trying to active through that.

Should she not be paying attention to improving her relationship with other nobles or studying finance?

Why was she so fascinated with magic?

Hazel could see the disdain in the eyes of the man, but she did not pay much attention to him.

She scanned the list and sure there was the name of her mother on the top of it.

“A wanted criminal?” she asked, putting her finger on it when the man nodded.

“Yes, I have asked them. She was never caught. It is believed that she was the head of their group. They were kidnapping young kids and using their bodies for their dark magic. The council is still looking for her. If found, she would be burnt on the stakes.

Most of the witches in the list are wanted but never caught. Only those minor amounts named here are caught.” He pointed, “but your majesty, are you sure you did not want to see the list of the businesses passed this year or the budget of this year?” he asked with some hesitation when she raised her head and nodded.

“Alright, let’s work on the budget first, then we will see about the list of witches. Alright?” his face bloomed instantly.

He took out a different set of files and placed them on the table while sitting on the other side, “your majesty, you do not need to worry, i will help you in it. I am sure that you will learn fast.” he encouraged her when she laughed and nodded her head.

He was going to help her. That was what he had thought. But….

“So, what do you say about it?” she asked as she passed the file to him. While he looked at the file, stunned.

“You have already.. Completed it?” the thought was so impossible.. Even when he was seeing it. He was not able to believe it.

He did not even see her hands moving or even when she shared the idea, he was not able to comprehend the start of it and she had already completed it.

Calculations! How could someone calculate so fast? And how in the world was she aware about the market rates of several things.

Should she not be a sheltered princess?

“Is that fine? Now going back to other files. I want you to make a list of wanted witches and why?”
