"One more thing, ask him to be dressed up in a matching groom's dress!"
"......"
They all looked at Hazel horrified? Even if she had lost her senses, why was she dragging all of them with her? She better go and die herself.
"My lady, your majesty would not appreciate your actions." They tried to hint to her that she could be in trouble but the girl just snorted.
"Wait, I am not done yet." they all looked at her horrified when they heard her. But she continued to sit there calmly with an arrogant look on her face.
But only Hazel knew how scared she was! Her hands had turned sweaty and her heart was running a marathon in her ribcage. She could feel that her heart would burst out any moment. But she was still adamant on her act, as dying with a heart attack would still be better than dying when all the blood had been sucked dry.
The blood in her body flowed harder and a tinge of red came on her face due to the impact.
"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!" she added with her chin held high in the air.
It was a common knowledge that vampires love sex and woman as much as they love blood. Both are their weakness,
They are creatures that enjoy pleasure and debauchery. Except for a few, none of the vampires had one lover. That was why many did not even marry for hundreds of years, since they have a longer life. They do not care about things like lineage and family like humans but tend to enjoy themselves.
And the emperor was even free from these ridiculous rules, as he was allowed to have as many women as he wanted as his lovers and concubines and he could even have three wives. To think that a human would dare to demand loyalty from the emperor of night creatures even when the marriage was nothing but an alliance that was forced on them was an eye opener for all of them.
Many were not even able to react to her words. They were just standing there with enlarged eyes and parted lips.
But not even a single of them moved.
"Tsk..!! who would have thought that the staff of a famous emperor would be this tardy and insolent!" she replied in a scornful voice as she looked at all of them with disdain.
Only then did the knights and maids come back to their senses. But the white faces of maids were making it clear that they did not dare to go to his majesty and ask what she had said, but the knights! They still have their rationality there,
They all looked at one of them whose eyes were darkest among them. Her governess had taught her that the rank of the vampires could be seen through their eyes. The darker the eyes, the higher rank he had due to his purity!
The man gritted his teeth and walked forward in front of all the maids who left his way with bowed heads.
"What did you say? Do you really want us to inform your majesty about your foolish demands?" he asked as he looked at the girl with cold and indifferent eyes.
But her expressions turned colder when the words left his mouth. She looked at him with a cold and intimidating face,
"Ha! To think that even a servant would dare to ask questions to me, the empress was really an eye opened on how ill mannered you all are!
Just you wait! I would make sure that discipline would be followed and everyone would know their place!
Now! Are you going or not?" The last sentence came so frostily that the vampire gritted his teeth.
He felt humiliated that the girl dared to insult him! She was nothing but their meal.. Yet she was trying to show her dominance on them. If she wanted to die, then he would make sure that it would happen miserably.
"Very well, i will go and inform your majesty about all your instructions." he nodded and was about to turn when his eyes met Alfred, the aide of your majesty.
His eyes enlarged but he looked down before the man could notice it.
"Sir Alfred, why are you here?" he asked in a tone of respect but the man did not spare him a glance as he looked around with deep penetrating eyes.
His aura could be feel from the distance and all the maids bowed their head deep to not come in the eyes of the man,
Hazel was observing everything keenly trembling when she felt the presence of the man but kept her stance and did not change her adamant and cold face.
"I am here to see why are all of you taking so much time to escort the empress!" the man finally looked into the direction of hazel as he asked the question.
"Is there some problem, my lady?" he asked in a voice that was neither respectful nor too cold.
"Yes, there is! I am asking the maids and knights but none of them is taking it seriously!" she replied as she raised her head high, showing that she was not at all affected by his aura and presence.
The vampire's gaze flickered but he did not say a word as he looked at the knights.
"What is it that the lady wants? Fulfil her every wish right now as she is the new empress of the palace!"
"What do you mean by the new empress?" she asked with a frown? Was she not the only empress. She had confirmed it umpteenth time that the vampire did not have any other wife!
"Am I not the only empress the empire has?" she asked in a cold and rebuking voice but the vampire only nodded but a cold smirk from red on his face,
"Of course, after all, the previous three empresses have already died!"
