Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 344

Chapter 344: Missing baby_Part 1

Belle, who had walked around the noble city square of Aragonia with Evenly beside her and Rav trailing a few feet behind them, keeping his distance and carrying the bags of things they had gotten on the streets, had just reached the shopping arcade.

They had dropped the carriage away so they could sightsee, and now this was their final destination, to buy the readymade dresses and accessories.

The place was a three-story building with a large brown door and many balconies. Belle had just pushed the door open for herself and the rest, as Evenly held Angel and Rav carried the bags. A soft ring of a bell sounded as the door opened and they stepped inside. It was then Belle froze, as a sharp pain twisted inside her stomach and spread through her entire body.

"Ugh..." She dropped the single bag in her hand and clutched her stomach, slowly moving down toward the floor.

She had been speaking to Evenly when the pain gripped her and cut her off mid-sentence. Everything else blurred away from her senses, and all she could see was black, with a sharp ringing inside her ears.

She moaned at the death-gripping pain that made her unable to take in any breath into her lungs nor think clearly.

Through the darkness in her vision, she saw unclear images of a chaotic room, where wooden planks were flying toward a shadowy figure. The figure itself she could not see clearly, but it was only a tall shadow, the only thing visible from it being the glowing flames growing from his palms.

Every muscle in Belle’s body tensed in alarm at the sight of the flames. The choking smoke seared her lungs with every breath, and fear consumed her entire being. All she wanted was to protect herself as the shadowy figure hurled the flames toward her.

She let out a scream and began to fight away the flames. She would kill the person before he killed her, she wouldn’t let him burn her again. She wouldn’t die.

She wouldn’t let anyone kill her! She would protect her life and body!

She fought the flames that struck but did not harm her, and then, when she saw the figure drawing near, she did the only thing she knew she could do to protect herself. She sent a large, sharp shard of glass flying toward him with all the strength she had, catching him off guard and cutting off his throat clean.

The moment she cut him, the tense muscles in her body loosened, and she began to breathe again. Her vision slowly cleared of the darkness as her senses returned to her gradually, and she found herself being hovered over by familiar, worried faces looking down at her where she had crouched at the entrance of the building.

Evenly, Angel, and Rav were staring down at her, asking worriedly if she was all right. She couldn’t hear them at first but read their lips before her senses completely returned and she blinked away the darkness fully.

"...get her some water," Evenly told Rav the moment she noticed Belle had looked up from where she was crouching down.

Rav nodded and rushed away to fetch it, while Evenly, balancing Angel in one arm, helped Belle back to her feet. Inside the building, people were beginning to move toward them in curiosity, wondering what had happened at the entrance that had made the lady scream.

"What happened to her?" came the crowd’s curiosity as they watched from a distance. "Why would a sane person scream that way?"

"Perhaps she’s not mentally stable..."

"She looks somewhat familiar, though," muttered another from among the many women, trying to figure out where they knew the blonde-haired lady.

"Isn’t she the Dawsons’ daughter?!" gasped another.

"Thank you..." Belle muttered as she rose and took in her surroundings, seeing noblewomen standing around, whispering to each other and glancing at her. She felt embarrassed by their stares and by how the unexpected things that always seemed to happen to her had decided to happen in public this time around.

"Are you all right?" Evenly asked, noticing the color finally returning to her friend’s pale face, which had gone white as if she had seen a ghost when they first entered. To Evenly, her friend had been talking when she suddenly crouched down, shielding herself and moaning softly like she was in pain, before she let out a scream, her body trembling.

Evenly had been startled nearly to death, thinking something terrible had happened, or worse, that she had been poisoned from the snacks they had tried on the streets that were delicious. Angel had even begun to struggle in her arms, trying to get away to reach his mother. Now, she watched as Belle managed a small smile and assured her gently,
