Diana was in front of Bella in one swift motion. All of them are good with speed. If they want to win against vampires, they have to cast freezing spells. More of it, she would find more of those spells.
Bella came out of her thoughts when she felt hold on her chin. Her nerves strained when the vampiress forced her head to rise higher. The woman sniffed her to confirm that she was not a witch despite accepting that she knew Bella was not a witch! What a suspicious woman. She did not trust her own words.
"You are not even beautiful." Bella had heard the word ugly so many times that the insult did not sting as Diana wished. She looked at the woman as if she was a fool to hold Bella for telling her just that. "Why did Rafael buy you?"
"How would i know?" Bella's brow furrowed when Diana let her go. The girl had a thin innocent face with beautiful silver hair and black eyes. She looked ethereal but she was not a witch. Diana was sure Rafael would not like anyone with silver hair then why was this woman here.
No! He could not have brought her because he liked her. There was no way! Her anger rose despite her refusals and the mocking gaze of the young girl did not help Diana with her mood.
She held her by her neck and pulled her up despite the chains binding Bella to her feet.
"Princess, the girl will die this way. Humans are frail." Dion shouted but Diana did not listen. Her eyes were sharp with the desire to kill.
"It will be better if she dies. This is the plan from the start." she smirked with a terrifying look in her eyes that scared the aide.
"My lady, the lord would be furious. He had told me to take special care of the girl." he cried without tears in his eyes but his words only aggravated Diana. Special care! She was going to give her special care to this girl.
"Please, my lady. Lord had not forgiven you for coming to the night market. He would be raging if you did not listen to his command." that hesitated Diana.
Rafael had not talked to her for five days. He was leaving the palace often and whenever she asked, he ignored her. She did not want it to continue.
But letting this woman go!
"She did not deserve you attention. I am sure you know that lords are not interested in women. He must have a motive to bring her here. You will ruin his plans." he pleaded when Diana gritted her teeth and threw Bella away.
Bella did not plead even once. He was staring at Diana with pity as if Diana was the miserable one. The look in her eyes was so infuriating that Diana trembled with anger. She wanted to kick and beat the girl but Dion came to his feet and held the girl in his arms as if he was trying to protect her.
"Are you alright?" Bella blinked when she looked at the vampire. He looked like a human, not a miserable child who had lost his toy. He scanned Bella hard and only took a breath of relief when he did not find any permanent damage except the finger mark on her neck.
"You will be better after some ointment." he smiled to assure her but she did not look at him. She was staring at Diana who was staring back at her.
"You should bow your head. She is the lady of the palace. Since she is betrothed to the lord, she is your mistress." Bella noticed how Diana smirked at those words. Her chin raised higher, showing her pride. Her fears! The woman is afraid of losing Rafael.
"Mistress!" Bella nodded, "I am taken in for giving pleasure to the lord." Diana's face tightened. Her hands clench into a fist at the use of words. She was raging mad at the choice of words.
"You…"
"My lady… she must be here for the blood since the last servant died two days ago. The lord must be hungry!" he stood between Bella and Diana who was seething with anger. Her chest heaving but the man pleaded again.
"The lord needs a blood slave, my lady. We can not change it." DIana closed her eyes. The sound of her gritting teeth filling the room.
"If i saw her playing any tricks, you would not be able to save her next time." She warned as she left the room. Bella smirked at the leaving figure.
"So, she was only barking and could not bite." Dion frowned. He looked at Bella as if she was one crazy woman.
"You are overestimating your importance. Do not forget that you are a recently brought slave with no affection for the lord while Lady Diana is his future wife. One word from her and you would be killed mercilessly. Or.. what if lord forget how much blood could he suck from you and dry you tonight?" his eyes shone sinisterly, "do you have any idea how painful it is to die by loss of blood. Your body looks like it was charred and hollow but the worst part is.. The slow death is very painful."
She flinched despite her efforts when he laughed and turned to leave the room.
He had told that she was his blood slave! He was going to suck blood from her tonight.
