Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

504 Was She Innocent?

Diana’s eyes trembled. She did not reply but her hold on her dress tightened until her knuckles turned white.

“Diana! If you felt so.. Why did you not tell Rafael?” frustration filled his voice as held the bars of the cell and pulled them apart.

His strength was much more than the bars. Their shape changed instantly and enough distance was formed for her to come out but she just shook her head.

“No! They will not listen to me since I have killed my own mother. It would be better that you did not come to meet me anymore. I am afraid that they will punish you too.” she shook her head while tears spilled from her eyes.

He swore that he had never seen Diana behaving like that. She had only snarled or clenched her teeth in front of her.

To see his family breaking like that..

“Ha! What are you worried about? I trust you and I am sure Rafael would understand it too.” he asked with a frown when Diana scoffed.

“He will not not listen to any of us. He only trusts his wife and her fellow witches. He did not believe in us anymore. And after the death of my mother… there is no sense in talking about it.” she looked at him with worry as she sighed.

“I am worried about you, brother. You should stay cautious. The witches would try to attack you too so that they could isolate him from all of us. I am sure they would not stop only by winning a part of the land as their empire. They want much more. You should.. You are the only hope now, brother.” she pleaded when he gritted his teeth.

.....

“You are talking like they are god. I will go and talk to Rafael.” he turned but she held his hands and refused to let go.

“Are you not understanding the condition at all? For once I want to give up on your cynical attitude and stop being childish. The future of the vampires is on stake and yet you do not care?” she chided him when his muscles clenched.

“I want you to keep an eye on Hazel and collect proof against witches. I want you to defeat them and if not.. Kill them. Her child would bring the rest to us.” She warned when he turned but before he could say anything and explain to him further, footsteps were heard.

He turned only to see Hazel standing there with a cold look in her eyes. Diana immediately let go of Damien and took a step back.

“I was not trying to run away. And he was not helping me. You are overthinking.” she warned when Hazel raised a brow.

“I was not thinking about anything and I did not say a word. Why are you explaining yourself?” she asked back as she looked at Damien who looked like a ghost. As if he did not sleep or had eaten in a long while when Hazel sighed.

“Damien, you should go and rest. If Rafael would see you like this, he would be worried.” with that she walked closer toward the cell and passed a small pitcher to Diana, “i know that you would be hungry too but i could not bring the maids here. For their and your safety, I have brought you blood in a different way.” with that she forwarded her hands for Diana to take the pitcher from her but Diana just frowned.

“Ha! And you think I would take it? What if you have mixed something in it?” she threw the pitcher on the ground with a frown when Hazel’s eyes narrowed at Diana.

“You think I would be foolish to hurt you with my own hands. Now that you have thrown all the blood. Do you want yourself to starve to death?” Diana just scoffed as she folded her hands and looked away.

“If you are so afraid that I would hurt a human, you can bring them in your presence or you can send a vampire who has the power to fight back. I will not drink blood in a pitcher.” she claimed when hazel sighed.

“Then suit yourself. I am not going to waste my energy in bringing the blood again.” with that she turned to leave but as if remembering something, she turned to look at Damien who was still staring at them but had not moved from his place for even an inch.

“Are you coming with me?” she asked him when he looked at Diana who looked away as if she was ignoring him too when he nodded his head slowly and followed hazel out of the prison.

“Your sister has been throwing tantrums since she went to prison. She would not be able to survive for long if she kept throwing the blood. I know that you care about her, that’s why you went there.” she paused and then turned to look at him, “i am not going to ask you any question but it would be better that you convince her to eat so that she could stay alive. And it would be better that you did not do anything foolish. It would be better for you and her both.”

She did ot wait for him to respond as she turned to leave but then paused in her tracks.

“I would send her evening food in your room. You both can decide what you want to do then.” with that she left when he gritted his teeth.

Venisa, who was waiting for him in the corner, looked at the scene with a smirk while hiding behind a pillar. The moment Hazel left, she came out with a worried look on her face,

“I have told you that she had everything in her control and you should stay away from her. Did you not see how she ordered you and how she controlled the life of Diana and Rafael did not say a word to her? Do you still think she is innocent?”
