Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

515 Let The Fight Decide

Nathan opened the door when he heard the knock and was surprised to see Rafael standing there.

Before he could ask the reason, he felt a strong punch on his nose that made him dizzy. He took a step back when he felt the blood coming out of his nose and Rafael had already entered, leaving him baffled.

“My lord, did I commit a mistake?” he asked in a soft voice as he followed the vampire when Michael came in from the other room.

He stared at the scene and his eyes turned colder.

“It was you. Wasn’t it?” Rafael stared at the man who was looking cautious but not at all regretful.

“It was your wife, right?” he asked back as he chuckled and walked towards his seat, “i knew that she was sharp and good at acting but i did not know that she could even change the color of her hair. If other witches come to know the same trick, we will not be able to differentiate them at all.” as if that was the main point, he asked about it worriedly when he scoffed.

“You can not compare my wife with a normal witch?”

“....” Nathan was at a loss of words while he heard them. He thought Rafael was here with an intention of killing, yet he was bragging to his wife as if that was more important.

“I agree! She is a smart woman. I was thinking about convincing her if she comes here again.” he nodded his head when Rafael walked closer and sat on the side of the table, keeping his gun on the table and staring back at the man with ease.

.....

“By feeding her lies! You told her that I was the one who sent her to her mother to kill her, using the death of my family as proof!” the eyes of Michael flickered as he stared at Rafael, “you thought that you can fill her with lies and use Diana to create the wedge between us. That war.. It was started by you! You are the masked man.”

“You have already come with a story. What did you want from me now?” he looked at the gun and then at him as if asking shoot me already and finish the matter.

“I want to know what you did? It could not be because of power like others.” Michael was already one of the strongest people in the empire after time. He had gotten more power after the division since he would have been the lord of the council governing humans.

“You and Hazel think that you are god! You all are thinking of the benefit of everyone. Vampires would kind of leave drinking blood without the consent of humans. Witches would stop their rituals harming humans and give them a free vampire to live. Ha! Do you think it is even possible?

You both are living too idealistically and this whole council.. Do you really think they will follow your orders blindly because you have been lord for a long?” he shook his head and smiled, “i am not afraid of death or losing powers but i am only helping you by making your dream true. Every change needs sacrifices and the sacrifice of the council is needed for humans to get their rightful place by telling witches and vampires that they are not weak or they are not food.” He picked up the gun of Rafael from the table and the latter did not try to stop him.

“You can support them through the council too by making sure there are rules to protect them. You, Edward, Nathan.. Aren’t you all humans but on a big post?” Rafael could not understand when Nathan nodded his head too and came closer.

“We can make this world better, Michael. There is no reason to shed blood.”he offered help but Michael had long lost the hopes as he laughed as if he had heard a joke.

“Did you forget Nathan how we were used in the first war even when we had good positions. How Hazel’s father had asked you to mix poison in her drinks so that Rafael would be blamed and war could be started. Or have you forgotten Rafael how many attacks the girl had to bear?

If not for your protection, she would have died long ago. And now.. After the death of Scarlet, why have you not killed Diana in spite of knowing that she will try killing hazel again.

It is true that you had not sent her to her mother but you were the one behind her death in that life and she would die in your hands in this life too.

You swear that you love her, yet when she gave her powers to create a shield for all the vampires to protect them against Beryllium, you didn’t stop her. Since when has love been this greedy?”

“.........”

“Vampires never wanted to give powers to others and you are one of them, Rafael. So stop giving me your ideal speech.”He shot the gun aiming towards Rafael and after a second of hesitation, he pulled the trigger but the bullet did not come out.

Confusioned filled him as he shot again but no bullet was shot when he realized he was tricked.

“I have never come with the intention of killing you.” Rafael shrugged as he looked at the anger and frustration on the face of Michael.

“But if you really want another war to divide the land, you do not need to drag innocents. We can do it here in this room. If you win against me, I will let you take my position and make all the decisions. But if I win, you will go to the prison and let things work according to the council.” he paused as he looked at the scared man standing behind them.

“Nathan would stay and keep informing you about the changes. I promise that I will never harm humans.”
