Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord-Chapter 362 Freedom For Them.

“Do you think she would go against us?” asked Lilian as she looked at the worried witches around her.

She did not like hazel from the day first. But they all were too hopeful about her. They were sure that Hazel would help them in getting the freedom they always wanted.

“She burnt the whole black market. I can not lose hope from her.” said Luhan, though his face looked darker and gloomy when the elders shook their heads.

“I want you to convince her to give the witches back to her. They are not only part of our coven but the power too.

Those have strong powers and could help us in standing higher again. We needed the support of as many witches as we could to teach humans and vampires that we will not be trampled any further.” Luhan nodded his head.

He was not like Lucian who only wanted to keep Rafael away from their coven and stop the death of the witches but he wanted an equal standing.

He wants freedom to walk freely in the world without a care that others could kill them.

“I will explain to her again. I think that she misunderstood us. She has promised to support us.“ The elders did not look very convinced but Luhan had never been wrong. He had made the impossible possible so many times that he had their trust.

“Then we will leave the matter to you.” they said with a nod when Luhan bowed his head, “but never forget that she is a dark witch! She could never be trusted.” they warned him before standing up and leaving while Lilian stared at the whole scene from aside.

She gritted her teeth so hard that it would break.

“You! What have you done to her?” asked Luhan as he walked closer to her when the smile forming on her face froze and she looked away.

“She is a dark witch! Do you think I am strong enough to do anything to her?” she asked back in a bitter tone when Luhan’s eyes narrowed at her.

“You know that she is stronger. She didn’t know how much power she had but we did. We have read the legends.

We need her support to win the war against all the other species. We have to bring her between us to make her realize how corrupt her husband is.

I am already struggling because her husband kept gluing to her like a viper never letting its victim go.” he spat with anger when he remembered the gleaming crimson eyes of Rafael staring at his every action all the time.

“I am going to the palace again with Celina. I hope you will not create another trouble for me!” He warned her before leaving.

The night was long and full of discussions for all of them, whether it were human or the witches that looked at the burning of the building that had been there from imperial time

But the one who burnt it was lost in each other’s arms without a care in the world.

Luhan took the carriage and soon reached the house of the marquis. It was still middle of the night yet the whole place was full of light as if it was in the middle of the bright day.

He could see all the nobles of the empire collected there.

With a nod and smiling face as if he was completely harmless, he walked into the palace where all were busy in a heated discussion.

Hiding the sneer on his face, he smiled warmly when they turned to look at them. They nodded back, treating the young man as a fool who had no idea and was too innocent for politics; they did not pay any attention to him.

“I say it is not just a coincidence. How could they burn everything in a single night without any plan. The slaves could never be this organized!” he banged the table with his fist as the discussion went into an uproar again.

“Why does it matter now? The fact is, not only the slave establishment was burnt but the whole black market is gone. Do we need to think of the future!” said another with a long sigh as he looked at others only to get more screams.

“What do you mean by gone? They have to pay for my losses.”

“Yes, they have burnt the whole alley as if it belongs to them. They ate an answer to all of us.”

“I have invested in new products that help in slowing the aging process in humans. Do you have any idea how much that foolish witch charged me? And now she is gone! What will I tell my family?”

“I have…”

“I did…” f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

He sneered at all of them who are treating witches as their slaves or commodities. He was glad that Hazel had taken the bait and burnt that damn place.

His eyes scanned the place and found Celina sitting in the corner and drinking wine. He stood up and excused himself from their ranting and walked to the girl who looked like she was drowning herself in the wind for long.

“Why are you drinking so much?” he asked as he sat beside her with a look of worry in his eyes.

“I am just celebrating.” she said in a glum voice as she took another sip, “finally she did what you wanted. And I am sure that when she would rule, she would set everything right.” though she was appreciating her voice was full of remorse that it created a frown on the face of the man.

“Then why are you so sad?” he asked with confusion when she chuckled,

“I am not sad, I am just hurt that I will lose you now that you have achieved your goal.” she smiled when she turned silent and stared at her as if she had grown two heads, “what, do you think i do not know who you are and why you approached me?”
