Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66: The library experience

Rav was in no place to stop the lady from doing whatever she wanted after Rohan had warned him to let her do as she pleases as long as it made her happy within the castle. It wasn’t every day that a man who never cared about anything but himself decided to suddenly care about another person and also try to make them happy, thus Rav would do his best to make certain he never displeased the lady in any way.

Belle walked to the basket and bent down and began to pull the carrots out of the soft soil. Rav also came to join her. "What is it you want to talk about, my lady?" he asked, as he could sense her gaze swaying to him every now and then as if she didn’t know where to begin with her words. He couldn’t help but also notice how well she was pulling out the carrots like she had done it many times before.

Rav had been a human before he was a vampire and he could tell the lady was not a spoiled pampered noble with how she spoke and also brought herself out here to help him when she could demand whatever she wanted from him without helping.

Belle chose her words carefully as she finally decided to go straight to the point. "The chamber I am staying in now, do you by any chance know the history of the prince who had lived in it in the past?" She couldn’t bring herself to forget about the words in the letter and Rohan’s half-sided story was in no way satisfying to her. She wanted a detailed story where she could see what made the parents suddenly decide to kill their child.

If Rav had a human heart, it would have stumbled over at that question, but his half-human and vampire heart merely ceased beating for a moment before it resumed its steady rhythm. "Why do you ask, my lady?"

Belle placed a bunch carrots in the basket and then said, "Lord Dagon told me the story of the prince who had been in the room in the past before the previous king and queen took the throne. I wasn’t satisfied with it and wanted to know more."

Rav paused in his action of pulling out a carrot and turned wide-eyed at the lady. "His lordship told you the story?" he asked, unable to believe that Rohan would share that story with anyone.

Belle blinked at the shock she glimpsed in his eyes before she nodded her head, "Yes. He told me. Do you also know the story?" she asked, hoping she would somehow get satisfying details from Rav unlike Rohan.

Rav seemed to be finding it hard to believe that Rohan had told her any part of that story not to mention the fact that he had told her enough to the point she was now curious about the rest. Just how serious was his master when he decided that this woman would be his wife for real? If he had told her any part of that story and she was still breathing until now, it meant he was dead serious!

Clearing his throat, Rav said, "What part did he tell you?"

Belle pursed her lips and retold him what Rohan had told her. "It feels incomplete to me."

Rav nodded his head. If only she knew that she had been told more than anyone could have been told by Rohan. "I also don’t know much about it, my lady. All I know was that the prince was known as the devil and was sent back to hell." He told her the truth. He never knew much about it.

Belle’s heart sank in disappointment and dissatisfaction. She had looked forward to meeting Rav as she believed he would know something but it turned out he also didn’t. She was about to continue helping him with the carrots when her eyes brightened. "Is there a library in the castle?" she asked.

Not knowing why she asked, Rav nodded his head in hesitation. "There is, why did you ask?"

"Where is it? I want to see it."

Rav led her to the library after washing their hands without questioning what she wanted to do there. He left her to herself by the door as he had more work to do outside in the yard. He told her if she needed anything he would send Farrah to her to assist her. Belle thanked him before he left. She had never been treated with this much attention, in Dawson household she was always a shadow who was forgotten and sent to do errands with no one wondering about her comfort or discomfort.

Turning to the double doors of the library, Belle reached out to the handle that happened to be two raven statues. Thankfully the library wasn’t in that ominous darkened corridor she had walked to days ago and saw an imaginary cloaked figure. She turned the knob and stepped in, but stopped in her tracks at the wonder she was met with.
