Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord-Chapter 429

“Why do we need to go ourselves? It is the work of knights and mercenaries.” the man frowned as he walked towards the narrow path on his feet.

He was not habitual to walk on foot. When Henry told him that he was courting a commoner, he was already surprised but when he added that a councilman was her past lover and he was now trying to come in between them, he could not bear it.

It was the insult of being a noble. Without a thought he offered his men and even called the mercenaries through the private signal to attack the councilman.

He was sure that they would not be in trouble as long as they did not involve themselves personally.

But who would have thought that this fool would drag them too..

“So that he knew why he was beaten and whom he should stay away from!” spat Henry with seething anger when the others shook their heads.

He was right! The man should have taught a lesson. Though he was councilman, he was still a commoner. He should know that he could not go against nobles.

But he did!

“Fine! But make sure that he would not be in a condition to complain and did not leave any trace that would reach us later.” said the man with a frown when Henry nodded his head.

“Yes, I will make sure that he does not see tomorrow. As long as he was gone forever, no one would link his death to us.” he said with a wicked grin on his face as they walked out of the palace.

“The path is too dark!” he frowned when Henry nodded.

“Yes, a perfect place for these kinds of things. Anyways, we will be done soon. You have a lighter right?” the man nodded and took out the lighter from his pocket and lit it to show the path.

They kept walking for some time when they heard the sound of fighting and groans and shrieks and their eyes sparkled. They are on the right path.

They walked a bit more towards the direction of fighting sounds when… their feet froze.

They have sent a dozen knights and more mercenaries for just a single man because he was a councilman, they did not want to take the risk about.

Most of the councilmen are scholars who knew politics, history, geography and science but when it comes to physique, they were all lean and weak.

There was no doubt that he would be in the condition to die.. But.. What in the world happened here?

Not only was the man not dead but he was standing tall without a scratch, while all the men sent by them were dead or on the verge of dying.

Hearing the sound of their footsteps, Declan turned, his red eyes staring at them with a smirk on his face and he tilted his head as he looked at them.

There was a strange smile on his face that left them in goosebumps. They instinctively took a step back but like caught in the cobweb, they had nowhere to go. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

They had chosen a dead end, and the only path where they could turn was behind them. But no one dared to show their back to the strange man. Was he even a man?

They were not sure anymore.

“What in the world is he?” asked the man with sweat covering his face when Henry shook his head.

He did not have any idea either. He looked like a normal human when they met in the party but the way he titled his head and moved his head behind him… how could a human be able to do that..

“So, you’re the one who sent them?” their eyes widened with shock!

The man who was still standing far away just a second ago was standing in front of them in the blink of an eye.

If he extended his hands, he would be able to get a hold of them.

The panic had filled them but the adrenaline rush in their body forced them to run away.

They ran with full force, occasionally looking back to see how far he had followed them.

“I can not see him anymore!” said the man as he stopped and looked around. Henry stopped too.

He did not hear the sound of footsteps following them.

Could it mean that the man let them go! But why would he..

The way he had licked his lips, the desire to kill them was so clear in his eyes.

He was sure he had seen death in the eyes of Declan.

“Now is not the time to think about it. We should run to a safe place as soon as possible.” said Henry as he shook the man who looked dazed.

Both nodded and turned to run again when their soul left their body.

Declan, who was behind them but they were not able to find him, was standing in front of them with that same evil smirk on his face.

His cold eyes were burning with the lust of blood. He licked his lips again.

“It had been days since I had drunk so much blood. Who would have thought that a fool like you would give me that opportunity!” He took a step towards them when they took a step back instantly.

They were like deer caught in the light. Their faces were filled with fear but there was no way to run either.

The only way to run away was behind Declan, they had to cross him to save themselves.

But was that even possible? He would kill them before they could even do so.

“What do you need? If you need money, power or position, tell me! We both have the ability to grant you any wish. But let us go!” shouted the man with a panicked voice that was trembling.

“Yes, do you want that girl so badly? Then you can keep her. I will not cross your path again, I promise!” Henry pinched his throat as he swore bruning a smirk on the face of Declan.

“Ha! Do you think you are in the position to bargain with me! What a bunch of fools!”
