Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 384 More Tricks In Her Sleeves



………..

Hazel sat on the branch of a tree while she had spread the animal of her hunt on the ground and was waiting for a large beast to fall into the trap.

She was about to leave thinking she had already won the hunt but looking at the bison the duke was frying leisurely she was not sure anymore.

She wanted to have one or two bison too but she did not find them anywhere. So, she was waitin for a large beast to take the bait.

But waiting was boring. She is feeling drowsy. Though she was sure that she was higher, sleeping at such a dangerous place could be too risky.

She waited and waited but no beast came, making her wonder if they did not feel attracted towards the smell of blood or looking at so much food?

Her eyes started to close and she shrugged, “fine! It would be just a small nap then!” she muttered as she let the sleep take over her.

Her eyes closed and slowly her breathing turned even.

Just as she drifted to the dreamland,  the shadows beside her started to move.

The tree she was sleeping on, the ground where the animals were kept and the trees beside her, a man started to come out of each part of them and surrounded all around her.

They each have a dagger in their hand that was laced with poison, a single attack of it and the man would die instantly.

It would have been easier but they were asked to kill her slowly. Tore her limbs and let her struggle and suffer in pain.

They would not attack the woman recklessly and alert her. The nobles may have thought she was weak but looking at the dead wolves that only had the mark of one arrow or dagger, they were sure that this woman was stronger than they had thought.

But it was their good luck that she was sleeping.

Their leader looked at all of them and they started back. He pointed at the different positions and the men nodded and followed his order.

They held hazel and bound her body with the tree with full force so that she would not be able to move an inch.

Hazel furrowed her brows and her face contorted as she opened her eyes but she was not looking shocked at all.

She stared at all of them as if she was scanning the danger they hold.

“You do not look surprised? Why did you let us bind you?” asked the leader when she smiled as if she was enjoying it.

“Is it the duke?” she asked when the eyes of the leader narrowed at her face.

She looked much at ease to his surprise. He looked around thinking that she had some help but even after waiting for a few minutes, nothing happened.

Hazel laughed looking at the vigilant eyes of the man and the suspicion in them. If only the duke would have half of the brain of the man.

“Was it the duke?” she asked again, waiting with patience for the man to reply when he titled his head.

“I don’t know what power you have to be this confident but I am sure you do not have anyone with you to help you. I have been following you for a long time to know that well, so you do not need to act.” his voice came through gritted teeth when she laughed again.

“When have I tried to act like someone is helping me? I am alone.” his eyes narrowed further.

The woman looked so dangerous yet behaved like a fool. First she let them chain her and now she was accepting that she was alone.

“Then you have made a mistake and you will pay for it with your life.” He was not a man of words that liked to chat.

He was only waiting to be sure how many men were supporting her but since there were none, he would not waste anymore time on her.

Even if she was strong enough to kill many at once, her hands were secured in the ropes.

“You are overconfident and I do not like that kind of man. ” he said as he pointed at the men who nodded their heads and took out their daggers when she laughed.

“I do not like overconfident men too. But you are forgetting..” she said with a chuckle as the first man attacked her.

She raised her legs and kicked him but he held her legs with a smirk and raised a brow as if he was asking, “that was it?” but just as he continued to stare at her, his eyes swirled and the dagger he was holding started to burn his hands.

He threw the dagger and took a step back while everyone stared at him with confusion. His eyes only looking at hazel who still have an amused look on her face,

“You are forgetting that I am a woman.. Who knows how to plan everything.” with that she jerked her hands and the rope broke as if they were made of light thread that did not have any strength.

The men looked at her with shock but soon they came back to their senses and attacked her at once.

They all had a poisoned dagger in their hands. They did not care about the order anymore. They just wanted to kill her at once and get done with it or they were sure that.. It would not end up in their favor.

But as they ran, they bumped over something and their head hurt badly. They shook their heads while rubbing it but when they looked around, they did not find anything.

The woman was still standing in the center while laughing over them as if they were a clown of the circus.

“I have already been too patient with you. Tell me is it only the duke or there were more men with him?”
