Married To The Mad Vampire Lord - Chapter 486

Chapter 486: Men inside the castle_Part 2
In the end, they had indeed cleaned the place together, but Angel never even got to tell his mother about the exciting work he had done with uncle Rav, because his mother had been replaced immediately after she came back from where she had gone with his father. He didn’t get to tell her how he had mopped and swept, when in truth he had been a hindrance to Rav, spilling things and causing Rav to redo everything. Nonetheless, Rav never complained or stopped him from helping; he only laughed and then redid the work while praising Angel for doing a good job.

Now that he heard about getting the location from uncle Rav and finding it, he realized he would have to lead Enny there.

“I need to talk to Rav before we go there, Angel.” Evenly told the boy, and he nodded.

“Then let’s go and talk to uncle Rav and tell him that I can protect Enny to the underground house we cleaned together.” Angel grinned, happy to help.

While Rohan was on his way to get back his wife and Evenly and Angel were on their way to talk to Rav, another person was raging in the dungeon in the castle. Cordelia was going crazy from the silence around her and the darkness and the foul smell. Many times she felt something crawling on her leg, and she would have to jump away screaming. Because of the crawling things, she couldn’t even dare sit anymore; not that there was a chair in the disgusting cell!

She stood at the front of the cell gate, her fingers clutching the rusted bars, angry and in pain. How dare Rohan leave her here? Though she dreaded even seeing him, as she knew her crazy cousin would only come back to hurt her, she didn’t think he meant to actually punish her to this extent because of that insignificant human he had been forced to marry.

If he believed he could keep her here, then he was dead wrong. Because she wasn’t done with him yet. She would make him pay, oh, he would pay big time for this. She had never gone a day without bathing or taking her fresh blood, but he kept her in this filthy place where things crawled on her.

Cordelia wouldn’t let this slide, and his first mistake was actually locking her here, thinking she couldn’t get away because of the vampire resistance gate. She always had her ways to do things, and just like that, she would get out of this place and show him he had messed with the wrong person.

Immediately he had locked her here and left, Cordelia had reached out to the vampire she had once turned in her life, who worked for her and Josh, and she shared a mind link with him. It turned out she hadn’t finished using that Josh; he would come in handy right now. He would come and save her from here.

Josh had always been a fool. He had believed her when she told her vampire to tell him that she had been taken as a prisoner by the crazy duke since those days she went absent, and she needed his help desperately. He had told her he would gather his men and head here to set her free.

“Don’t worry, Cordie, your man will get you out of there. Hold on there for me to come for you.” Josh had told her vampire to relay to her the words, and Cordelia had rolled her eyes at the cheesy, irritating words. She didn’t care if he would have the chance to play the hero saving the princess in distress; all she wanted was to get out of here before that mad cousin of hers find his human and come back to kill her.

She didn’t know what was taking them this long when she had talked to him since last night when she was locked up!

While Cordelia waited for Josh, the man arrived to the castle with a dozen of men behind him. His carriages pulled up outside the castle big gate where there were large tall trees at the sides of the gate and all around the fence that made it look like no one was living in the big mighty old castle that had once been the royal castle.

“Break down the gate. I need to save my woman and get her to safety before the war gets to us. She says the duke is not around.” He ordered the vampire men he brought with him, who quickly stepped forward to break the gate that took so much effort and time to break open from how strong it was and the lock around it.

When they finally broke the lock, Josh got back into his carriage, which carried him further into the yard that was so big that the drive from the gate to the castle took a bit of time. The yard was large enough to house a village, that was how enormous the castle was.

“Make sure you kill anyone who stands in your way in getting to my Cordie, or anyone you find in the castle, especially that bitch, Evenly.” Josh ordered his men as he pulled out a refill from his carriage, loading it with bullets to protect himself. Evenly, and that nobody she slept with behind his back, had dared to once insult him. That was why he had brought vampires who worked for him and Cordelia, to settle the score, ensuring that by the time the duke came back, he and his woman would have been far away in safety.

“Yes, sire!” answered the men as they spread out inside the majestic castle to find their mistress and to kill those who had offended their mistress’ man.

Inside the castle, Evenly, who held Angel’s hand in hers, had reached the door of the room where Rav was. She was currently sitting before it with Angel, telling Rav what the duke had said about Belle being able to cure him and that she was at the border where the war was starting.

At first, Rav had not answered her, but when he heard about the lady being at the border, he finally asked, “How did she get there?” His voice was hoarse and low, coming from near the door as if he were sitting close to it.

“I don’t know how she got there. From what Angel told me, we have been living with a fake all this while,” Evenly said, unable to stop herself from smiling at the fact that Rav was not pushing her away anymore by saying hurtful things to her. “I do believe the duke will get her back safe and sound, and Rav, you will be fine.”

Rav was silent for a moment before he asked, “What about Angel? Did… did I hurt him so much?”

“No. Angel is fine.” It was Angel who answered himself, coming close to put his mouth against the door as if wanting Rav to hear him more clearly. “I also hurt Sofia, and papa says Sofia’s soul will understand. I also understand that uncle Rav didn’t mean to cause me pain.”

Rav felt a deep relief wash over him hearing that the boy was fine and had not turned. He would have never, ever forgiven himself if he had ruined the boy’s life. He had been feeling so miserable, along with the intense pain in his chest, but hearing that the real lady Belle’s whereabouts had been found and that Angel was fine, and that there was a chance he would be cured, Rav dared to give himself the freedom to speak.

“I am glad you are fine, Angel.”

“Me too, uncle Rav. I am happy you are talking now and not scaring me like inside the yard. You know something, uncle Rav? Enny and me will go and stay in the safe house we clean together because danger is coming.” Angel said, to which Rav’s smile fell, and he asked Evenly what the boy meant.

“The war is getting closer, Rav. The duke told me to head to the underground safe house if it reached us. I don’t want to leave you here though.” Evenly said, placing her palm against the wooden door, knowing that even if she were to be safe, her mind wouldn’t be at ease with Rav left here.

Rav placed his shaking hand against the wood as he spoke, “Evenly, your safety matters the most. Do as Lord Dagon says. I can’t go in there with you in my condition. I will be fine here, as long as you are safe, I will be.”

Angel, who was sitting down close to Evenly, frowned as he suddenly felt something off and got up from where he was sitting and walked to the railings behind Evenly.

Evenly rested her forehead against the wood, feeling her heart swell with love for the man behind the door. “Rav…there’s something I want you to know_”

“Enny, there are people inside our house!” came Angel’s words as he peeked through the railing down to the hall of the castle, seeing strange men walking in.
