Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 452

Chapter 452: The strange energy in the house_Part 1

"Rohan is his father?" She almost screamed the words as she couldn’t believe it. Since when had they had the boy for him to grow like this? To think she had mistaken him for that Evenly’s son when they met!

"Rohan is his father," the demon king confirmed, and Cordelia turned on him with anger.

"Did you also approach the human with this same deal and make my cousin have a child with her?" she’d accused, knowing the Rohan she knew would never have a child with a human. And even if it happened by mistake, he would have thrown the boy off some cliff for his amusement. For Rohan was a selfish, self centered uncaring man, and that was why she liked him so much.

The demon king laughed at her words. "If only it was that. She’s the only person I can not control, and her mind cannot be easily penetrated like yours. I didn’t make a deal with her, I am making one with you."

The demon king had failed to enter the dead girl’s head far too many times. If he could, he would have already made her leave his son long ago and gotten rid of her from Rohan’s life. The only thing he had managed to do was suppress a single memory in her head, and even that had taken so much effort to achieve.

Because he planned to use Cordelia in his schemes, he had suppressed the memories of that encounter in the market with the vampiress from her mind. If she hadn’t forgotten it and mentioned it to Rohan, then the demon king knew his offspring would have gotten rid of his next hope of having another son for his plans. He couldn’t let that happen. Though the memory was still in her mind, it had been suppressed underneath.

Being the creature that he was, one not mixed with any other and a pure demon, he could get into anyone’s mind and manipulate it to his will. He could sway minds and make them dance to his own tune, everyone except Isabelle and her son.

And now, in the present, where Cordelia was already impatient about studying the scenes of their life after she had already signed the contract with him, one that warned going against it would mean her death, he told her,

"You still want to be his wife, don’t you?"

Cordelia was glaring at the scenes of them celebrating Rohan’s birthday as they feasted in the dining hall. That glare turned to the demon. "How many times will you ask me that question? I said I want to be!"

The demon king nodded his head. "Good. Then in two days, you shall be his wife."

In the castle, the evening approached quickly, and with the brightness gone from the sky, cold descended in Nightbrook. There was no snow, but the cold felt even colder than snow itself. The servants went around adding wood to the fireplaces throughout the castle and in all the bedrooms.

Meanwhile, Belle had thought long and hard, and she came to a sudden decision that afternoon when she saw how happy everyone looked for her husband birthday, except for Rav, who looked a bit lost. She had decided to share with Rav the fact that she knew his heart was going bad but that she could help him.

She came to this decision because Evenly had told her that although Rav was attentive to her, a part of him was restraining himself from fully being happy with her and expecting their child.

He must have already sensed his corruption and couldn’t be at peace with himself as he feared dying and leaving her to grieve for him. But if one carried such fear, it would not only stop him from living the best of the moment, it would also make the corruption trigger more often, and the time she had shifted forward to add to his life would begin switching backward. He needed not to think about it and be at ease, or her efforts would be going to waste.

She heard him close the door to the room he shared with Evenly next to the drawing room, followed by his footsteps approaching. The door to the drawing room opened, and he walked in. Seeing her sitting there in the candle-lit room with a cup of hot chocolate in her hand, he mustered a small smile. "My lady, you called for me?"

Belle returned his smile. "Yes, sit down, please. I need to talk to you." She gestured to the space beside her on the long couch.

Rav nodded and made his way over, sitting hesitantly next to her, leaving a respectful distance between them. He couldn’t help but wonder what the lady wanted to talk to him about. But he didn’t question it and sat silently, waiting for her to speak while he fought the urge not to cough as he felt it rising in his chest.
