Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord-Chapter 440

“How long are we going to stay here?” asked Anne as she looked at the night market around the territory of Luhan.

“Didnt you want to investigate these men?” he asked with a frown, “and I do not want Eve to know where you live. Who knows what that crazy demoness would do once she would know that you are the sister of the witch who was taking her place.” he shook his head immediately even though it was dangerous.

To leave him with a crazy woman! No! Not at all. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

“Ha! You are doing a bad job if you want to scare me. Do you think me and Hazel would not be able to handle a crazy woman? Not to forget that he had Rafael to protect.” her eyes were filled with mockery as she stared at him. “Did you forget how we had won against your previous attack.”

He stared at her arrogant look for a second before shaking his head. If only she knew that their master never attacked Hazel seriously.

He was only testing her. Eve was a mad demoness. She could burn everything just for her joy. So, they needed a strong person to fight with her head on.

But the present hazel was not competent enough. He still did not understand what his master was trying to achieve.

But.. he did not want to boil the blood of Anne by telling her all that.

And he would not open his mouth until he was sure about the motives of his master.

“Anne, I know that but those demons were not crazy. Eve could burn the whole palace and many innocents would lose their lives.” he said with a sigh. He knew that he was using her weakness again but he assured himself by the fact that he was only doing it to protect her not to hurt her.

As expected her eyes turned darker when she heard him, he only needed to add a bit more.

“When you both were fighting in the woods, you did not need to protect others, giving you advantage. But if she attacked the palace, would you be able to fight with her that freely? Not to forget that you both are still hiding the fact that you are witches until you get the approval of humans.

What if all your hard work goes down the drain?” This time her eyes were cold but a look of defeat already filled them.

She took a deep breath and looked away. The stars had already filled the sky. And the night market had turned lively too.

“There is a campfire organized in the opposite area. I have heard that the lover of Luhan, Lilith, personally arranges it every time they have a night market. Do you want to go there?” he asked once she did not reply but her silence was her best acceptance.

She looked at the burning fire in the distance. There were hardly a few who were sitting and chatting with some snacks in their hands.

Most of them were a couple there who were dancing with joy around the fire. Their faces were sparkling with joy and freedom as if they were celebrating their lives.

The scene felt strange to her even more when Declan was the one to go with her.

“But if you are afraid to dance with me or share such a place then we can take a walk and have some snacks first. No matter how many times I eat, I can never get enough of this taste.” he said as he licked his lips with shining eyes.

Eating food again? She was sure he had eaten thrice in the past two hours. She never knew that he enjoyed eating that much. When they were dating and spending time together, he hardly had a snack with tea.

He always looked so aware of his palace and was always sweating while looking at her. He was so docile but now that man is standing in front of her.. He was completely different from the person she had met.

It was all just deception. Her heart turned colder at that thought and she looked away.

Declan felt the change in her mood and sighed. No matter what he said, she always found a way to connect it to their past.

“So, are we going to eat or dance?” he asked, feigning ignorance.

He knew that if he would pay attention to it but did not apologize, she would think that he was cruel. And if he did apologize, she would think that it was artificial free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

There was no way that she would be happy or satisfied with anything he did. If only.. He could go into the past and change everything.

“I would rather go and dance than eat more.” she said with a twisted look on her face as if she was planning to throw him into that fire and dance on his death.

“You know that fire can not kill me, ight?” he asked with a raised brow when she scoffed and looked away.

“So you were planning to push me in the fire. Huh?” it was one thing that he knew but it was another thing that she accepted it that easily.

Ha! So she hated him so much that she wanted to kill him.

“To think that you would be so cold hearted when it comes to me, I am glad.” glad! She looked at him with confusion when he laughed it off.

“Of course, since you are busy hating me so much, I am occupying all your mind. Would it not be good for me that you still have feelings for me. Rather than feeling nothing for me to the limit that you stop thinking about me?” he asked with a mirth in his eyes that her face turned red. She looked embarrassed when she realized what he was trying to say and knew that he was right there.

“I do not love you anymore.”
