Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord-Chapter 44 [Bonus chapter] Awkward!!!
Hazel slumped on the sofa as she entered the room. Her back was aching for standing straighter all the time and his feet were paining from the high heels she was wearing.
Since she had spent most of her time alone in the palace, she had never stood on the formalities of meeting so many people and wearing tight clothes and heels all the time. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖
She had even spent the whole day barefoot or wearing soft fur slippers the entire time.
“It has only been a day and I am already feeling exhausted!” she sighed as none of her plans worked so far.
In fact, she felt like she had fallen deeper into the pit she was trying to get out of!
Not only had she not been able to convince the council to take her with them, she had even made all of the vampires her enemy.
No matter where she had looked, she had only felt bloodlust and hatred from them as if they wanted to burn her alive..
“My lady, do you need anything?” she turned her head and stared at the scared bunny she had forgotten about.
The girl looked like she would jump at her place with the slightest voice in the room.
The thought brought a smirk on her face as she let go of the high heels she was holding all this while.
“Ohhh!” As expected , the girl covered her face from her both hands as if the ghosts had invaded the room and they would not be able to see her if she covered her face.
She reminded her of the cat in the palace that used to drink milk with closed eyes.
“It was just my heels. You do not need to worry so much!” Hazel replied in a nonchalant voice as she rubbed her sore feet slowly.
The maid had a smile that was uglier than the cries! If only she could explain to her new empress how dangerous the place was!
The maids often seem to disappear without a trace as their life was of lesser value than even the horses in the stable. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺
She could only pray that she would be able to survive and leave this place one day.
“Yes, my lady. You are right. I am just a scared girl. Do you need anything? Late night tea or a message or a warm bath?” Hazel was about to shake her head as she was still full with all the desserts she had eaten to keep herself busy instead of just standing there doing nothing which made her overeating.
When she heard the last choice and nodded.
“A warm bath would be nice, thank you!” the maid nodded and bowed her head as she scurried away to get the preparations done only to return in no time.
“My lady, the water is ready. Shall we go?” Her tone was so polite and full of consciousness that Hazel wanted to tell the girl to relax a bit, but she knew that the girl would not listen, so she just nodded and stood up.
Following the girl to the bathroom that was larger than her room in the old palace. She waited as another maid helped her in getting rid of the tight corset and finally Hazel was able to breathe again freely.
Letting go of the dress that fell on the floor once the dress was unzipped and the threads of the corset was opened, Hazel entered in the warm water.
The water was neither too hot nor too cold. The temperature was just right, that instantly relaxed her sore muscles.
An involuntary long breath left her body as she closed her eyes and leaned in.
Soon, she felt the hands of the maids on her back and neck and her body started to feel rejuvenated with the massage.
“Mmmm” a moan escaped her lips as the treatment fell heavily after the night. The hands of the girl stopped for a second before moving again with more vigor and Hazel closed her eyes.
“My lady, the water had already turned cold, i think you should come out now!” The shaky voice of the girl forced Hazel to open her eyes reluctantly only to realize that her skin already had wrinkled and the water felt chilly now.
She shivered and nodded her head, still shocked that she fell asleep in the water. Shaking her head, she came out of the water and the same maids helped her in wearing the night gown as she walked back into the room.
“You all may go now!” she whispered as she let the water dripping out of her hair without caring about them to dry to tie them.
The hideous makeup from her face was already gone and all she wanted to do was rest for a whole.
The maids looked at each other. Unsure of what to do? The lord would be here soon and the empress was still unpresentable with her hair scattered all over and no makeup.
“Let her be, if she can go with that face in her own wedding party and still get all the attention of the lord.
Then her natural face is much better!” whispered one in the ears of the other and after a second the maid nodded.
“Good night, your highness!” Both maids bowed their heads and left the room when Hazel sighed.
Though her body was much better, her feet and ankle were still in pain.
She placed her feet on the sofa and stared at the small red blisters that were formed on her feet.
“Sigh! They look horrible. Why do I feel that they were still smelly even when I have taken such a long bath!” she muttered with annoyance as she brought her feet closer to her face to smell them.
It would be fine since no one was here, she told herself when the door of the room suddenly burst open and in came the night creature who was responsible for her condition only to find her smelling her feet.
“………” awkward!!!!!!!!!!!
