The Princess's Dangerous Vampire Mate-Chapter 296: The medicines and the markets - III

By the time it was all down, five people were standing behind us. And more were coming our way.

We were called in by an attendant.

"State the reason for your visit. Would you like a consultation or is it for a refill?"

"Refill." Dorothy answered and handed him the bottle with the name of the herb on it. "Here."

"Stay here, I will be back with the new medicine." He told us both the first before exiting through the door in the corner of the room.

We were the only ones in the room at the moment. There was another door completely opposite to the door that The man who had taken a bottle had exited from.

That must be the room of the healer.

"Make way!"

I jumped and turned to the dare way only to step away from it. Three men entered, one of them carrying a girl, a teenager in his arms that had it directly to the door where I assumed was the healer.

"Healer! Help? Help!"

On hearing the commotion that had been caused by the entry of these four people, the man that had once taken our bottle returned only to run across the room and into the room of the healer without glancing at us. The three men were told to sit outside from what I could hear over there shouts and before anyone knew it, the door was closed.

The moment the door closed, silence blanketed the room and I watched with keen interest how the men now behaved.

They had fallen silent just as the door closed and now we are breathing heavily while they stared that it.

One of them turned around slightly and then turned back to look at the door before whipping his head back to look at me and Dorothy.

"Oh," he breathed out, " we did not know anyone was here."

"We are, just we are." I nodded. Rest all of them were either outside or inside in the room.

"They.." the Man in the middle, who had been carrying the young girl stepped back before falling to his knees on the ground, "they raped her.."

My eyes widened Before the numbness started to creep in again.

"We.. he.." The man held his forehead, barely hanging on to his emotions and strength, "why?"

"I don’t know, alright?" The third man spoke up, who had been quiet until now. "I have no clue."

Raped? The girl had been raped. Like me, she had been raped.

My legs clenched tighter, trying to hide the pain that they had once experienced, the humiliation they faced every single day because of it.

I somehow felt like one of these men would look at me and tell everyone that I had been through something similar.

That is why I did not look at any of them.

"What is going to happen to her now?" The second one spoke up, still dazed. "What now?"

" let’s the healer tell us the extent of the woman’s and how long it is going for her to heal completely. Until then I think she needs to rest." The first spoke up. " I don’t think we can do much anyway."

"What about justice? What about justice for her, for what happened to her?"

"ask who for justice? Who is going to help us? The bloodsuckers?"

The bloodsuckers?

"You should ask them." The words slipped out of my mouth before I realised it and gained the attention of men immediately.

"What?" The third one said, "what did you just say?"

Me? What did I just say?

"N-nothing." Dorothy looked at me before looking at the three men and shook her head again, "nothing. Don’t pay attention to her! To us!"

"No no," the second guy said who had previously been on his knees, "you just said to ask them. Why would you say that? What do you know?"

They were still staying at the spot, right outside the door and had not approached me or Dorothy yet. Which was good, they will be respectful but I was not sure for how long that was going to be.

"Uh.." I had to say something, specially when all three of them were looking at me and he was a girl inside who was in the same predicament as I had been.

But what I had in mind was a wild assumption. I guess that I had made on the basis of what was going on in the palace and what went on with me and Tristan.

From what I knew, vampires forcefully feed from their mates but they never touched their mates inappropriately. The bite marks were there, but I had never heard anyone complain about assault.

"they condemn rape." my voice was slightly shaky. "They do love to feed, it is their way of survival but they never touch anyone appropriately. You should complain to them."

All three of them were silent and were staring at me. As if trying to figure out if I was playing a game with them or not before the third one, full of suspicion, addressed me, "what should we take your word for it?"

I shrugged. "I am telling you this by example but if you choose to not tell, you can always hide it and let the person go unpunished. The choice is yours."

"He won’t go unpunished," the second Man looked at the other two in clear panic, "he cannot go unpunished! Not after what he did to my daughter!"

Daughter, that was his daughter. He was the father of the young girl that was in there. That is why he had still been quiet. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Let us take a chance!" He hissed at the third man. " That queen did not care about us! If the vampires can, we should take the chance!"

"You should. You will not regret it." I had no idea what compelled me to say this, but I did and only the first man looked at me while the other two maintained an eye contact with each other.

My eyes were on the door.
