Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 419



Chapter 419 – Giving A Chance

“Do not tell me that you are still busy!” he said with a soft chuckle but his eyes were mocking.

Rafael had always been a lazy and laid back person. Yet he was doing so much hard work when it came to Hazel being the empress.

And he still had the audacity to say that he did not want to benefit from this deal. Ha! At least, he should make this excuse believable.

He scoffed in his heart but the soft smile on his face did not falter.

“Yes, I have! You can leave the wine here. I will drink later at night.” he pointed at the table nearby and then waved his hands as if he wanted him to leave already.

Albert gritted his teeth for the insulting behavior but when he was reminded of the reason, he nodded his head.

As long as he would have it. Since the bottle was his favorite, he was sure Rafael was going to drink it. He was just being arrogant but if he would push him further, he would be suspicious.

He placed the bottle on the table and then exchanged a few more pleasantries before leaving from there.

But after turning a few more passages, he looked around.

Once he was assured that there was no one, he changed path and took the passage that took him to the prison before.

He could feel the slight pain in his chest but that was still bearable. What if it increased later when he reached home?

He kept looking back to make sure that he was not caught.

“You came earlier than I had thought.” the witch was laying on the small wooden bench with her eyes closed.

And he was sure he did not make any sound, yet she was confident that he had come back or she said the same line to everyone.

“But you have not completed the task.” she said with a strange tone that left goosebumps in his body. “Tell me, how shall I punish you then? Shall the pain you were feeling before returning?” with that she waved her fingers in the thin air without sitting or opening her eyes and he felt his heart getting clenched hard.

“Wait!” he called but the woman just laughed as if she had heard a great joke. “I said wait! I mixed the bottle with his wine. He will drink it by tonight. Cough. i ..” he started coughing and covered his mouth with the palm of his left hand.

He felt wetness on his palm and the musty smell in the air. He looked at his hands with a horrified look on his face.

“Blood! You wench!” he would have already killed her if it would not have alerted Rafael.

Since he had already betrayed him, he had closed that door already.

If only, he had not fallen into her trap. He looked at her with the desire to kill in his eyes but she only scoffed.

“Those who were on the verge of death should not think about the death of others. You fool!” she mocked as she finally sat up, “are you sure he was going to drink the wine by tonight?” her voice sounded desperate, but he nodded with certainty.

Even if he would not, Albert wanted to get rid of this pain. It was hurting like hell.

“Hmm, then I will give you two more days. Convince him to drink the wine by then.” she waved her hands in the air again and he was able to breathe again.

He wanted to glare at her and tell her she did not have the right to order him but when she stared back at him, he nodded his head like an obedient dog that she smirked at.

“Now leave! You are disturbing my sleep.” she said in a dismissing tone when Albert gritted his teeth again but left.

The witch was senile. What if she tried another trick on him if he stayed there.

With that thought, he turned to leave but his eyes darted on her cage.

Keeping witches alive was a felony since the cunning beings could fool you anytime and be dangerous for everyone around you yet Rafael was keeping her.

Only that was the reason that he fell into the trap of the witch. It was all his mistake. That was why he needed to be taught a reason.

His hatred for Rafael increased. When he walked out of the dark passage, he saw many of them talking about the coronation ceremony and how strong Hazel was!

He only felt anger and humiliation when he heard about the achievements of Hazel. The pace of his steps increased and he decided to leave early, the witch would confirm later if he had drunk the wine or not so he was not in a hurry to confirm it by himself.

“Lord Albert, are you leaving?” he heard the voice of Edward, another superior who had never given him the chance to shine.

Albert felt like he was surrounded by these kinds of men only.

He nodded his head with respect.

“Aah! I thought that you would stay till late. You know..” the human looked at the vampire with some uneasiness in his voice, “my wife had given birth recently and my wife is alone with the child. Yet the council wants us to stay here and keep an eye on everything.” he said with a sigh.

“The council is worried that there were still many who did not want this alliance to happen but it would be a good bet for the council. So, they want us to stay alert and here for all the time but I have to leave.” he pleaded in a soft voice.

“If you would help me here, I promise that I will talk to Rafael about the promotion you were asking for. Just this one time.” he persuaded but Albert kept his silence and kept staring at Edward who sighed.

“Then how about I give you the office you always wanted and any other perk you are thinking about?”
