Bab 10: A Lot of Conditions
The man did not stay once he was done talking. He turned and left telling everyone that he would go and inform your majesty personally about the demands of his new wife.
Now everyone was waiting for the order of her death punishment.
"What do you think? Your majesty would send him to prison or would come personally to snap her neck?" asked a knight.
"I do not think that the girl was worth enough to come personally by your majesty. We are enough to kill her on one order of his majesty."
"Yes! I was even surprised that sir Alfred had come personally to see if the princess had arrived or not!"
Hazel could hear the sarcastic comments of all the staff around her. Even though she knew that her end was near, she had never thought that others would bet over it!
How cruel they were! She hated how they treated her as a piece to bet upon!
On the other side in a dark room.
"I am glad that you have accepted the alliance and that also personally. If you have asked your loyal man to marry, even that would have been enough, but to think that you took it so enthusiastically is a matter of example for others.
I will personally recommend that you would be allowed to be part of the council now, your majesty!" complemented the old man in a black robe as he looked at the man with darkest red eyes sitting on the throne with lazy eyes.
There was another woman who was sitting in the corner with a red face. She was having a hard time keeping that smile on her face, which was full of scorns. Her grip on the glass of wine had been so tight that her perfectly manicured nails could break it any second.
When they heard the footsteps their neck instinctively turned to look at the door to see the new guest. But they were surprised when they saw that only Alfred came back.
"What is it?" asked the man as his eyes narrowed on his aide that had never come back empty handed no matter what task had been given to him.
Alfred nodded and shook his head as he ignored the probing gaze of everyone else and walked towards his master with a calm face.
Walking closer, he whispered in the ear of his master so slowly that even after being gifted with the strong senses, the others were not able to hear a thing though they continued to look towards them with the hope that they would at least get a hint.
The bored and tired face of Rafael lit up when he heard the man and a smirk brought on his lips. His dim and dark red eyes twinkled with a ray of light that only accentuated his pale face.
Once Alfred was done, he took a few steps back and bowed his head.
"What is it? Is there some kind of problem?" asked the old man with the black robe as three deep lines formed on his forehead when he looked at Rafael with worry.
"Nothing like that, i will be back in a few minutes!" with that he stood up and walked out of the room without giving any further explanation leaving both baffled.
While Alfred looked at his master with mischief as he followed him like a dark shadow.
All the maids bowed their heads when Rafael walked out of the room and descended the stairs. There was a maid standing in every fifth stair with a knee length uniform and a cleaning duster in their hands or tray filled with blood.
Ignoring them all, he took lazy steps towards a room and walked in. two maids bowed their heads again, when he stood in front of the mirror.
"Bring me the white suit of my marriage!" there was a smile on his face as if he was joyous on the occasion of his marriage!
"......" the maids looked at him with shock but did not dare to waste even a second just because they were shocked. The vampire was eccentric. They did not want to lose their lives just because they were staring at him!
They both bowed their heads and one of them moved forward to take his coat while the other one went in and brought a new white suit that would be appropriate for the groom.
Once done, he looked at himself in the mirror and then walked towards a closet and took out a black box from it.
Opening it, he took out a ring and then chuckled as if he remembered a personal joke, but his laughter only created goosebumps in others.
But without caring about their reaction, he walked out of the room where Alfred was waiting for him.
When he had seen his master's shining eyes, he was sure that he was going to escort the lady from the carriage. But who would have thought that he would also pay effort in changing his clothes and getting ready as she had demanded!
Even when he knew that his master gets excited with a new challenge, he was surprised with the efforts he had put into it. Rafael tilted his head as he looked at the shocked Alfred and an evil grin formed on his face as if he was going to kill anyone not for escorting his bride to the palace that even Alfred felt the pressure emitting from him,
"Are we done or is there any other condition left?" he asked as he started walking towards the main entrance of the palace with the same cold smirk on his face.
"Yes, master. "Once he would be here, he had to bring a ring for me and then pledge that he would only love me and have me as her lover and wife! Not even once would he look at another woman, only then would I come out of the carriage!" that was what she had added too!!"
