Loved By a Vampire King-Chapter 565: Born With Luck!
The girls all gasped together in surprise. The Duke had come without a prior announcement. They all couldn’t help but stare at him with pure adoration and lust. It was a natural reaction from them since Silas looked extremely hot in his suite.
Freya Burton was slightly shocked. Her eyes couldn’t stop staring at the Duke in presence. She only saw him from a distance. The superiority in his eyes always attracted her. She quickly hung her head low in respect and bit her tongue hard.
Amidst the crowd, Silas walked over to Isabella gracefully and stopped after giving Freya a cold glance. He wasn’t naive to not understand the little taunt behind her words. Mrs.Burton quickly intervened in saving her daughter,
" Pardon, Your Highness! My daughter likes to befriend everyone. She must have considered Princess Isabella as her good friend."
However, Silas wasn’t convinced by her warm words. Ignoring all the obvious gazes from those girls, his eyes found the only girl he wished to see at his side. His breathing stopped momentarily. He didn’t think that she would look so magnificent in this dress.
How could someone not fall in love with her?
He wondered in his thoughts and was secretly relieved that no other man was invited to this party. He didn’t want another man to look at her face like the way he watched her. On the other side, Isabella was standing cluelessly. Her face had several changes of emotions but in the end, all she could was to look down. Each time he stood up for her, her heart kept racing like this.
The queen took notice of the atmosphere which had now changed because of his rude response. She quickly came forward to drag Silas away to meet the other pretty girls,
" Oh lord! Silas, come with me. You haven’t greeted anyone."
After the son and mother had walked away, Isabella felt everyone secretly glaring at her way. Probably, no one liked to call her with respect. Exhaling, she dragged her feet to the mini bar to get some drinks. Coming here was a big mistake. She could understand it now but who could stop this Duke’s threat?
Meanwhile, Freya was fuming in rage, her eyes kept piercing into the girl who just went to grab some drinks. She couldn’t believe that the Duke lectured about her manner in front of everyone.
Why should she give her so much respect? She was just a princess!
Freya groaned at her mother angrily,
" Mom..How could he say something like that in front of everyone? She isn’t the princess of this castle, a guest only. Just wait! I will seduce the Duke to marry me then will let her call me ’her highness’."
Mrs.Burton simply glared at her daughter. She was aware of her arrogant character. Although she was just the governor’s daughter, she liked to keep up with the vibe of a princess. Mrs.Burton warned her daughter seriously before heading off to the queen,
" You better behave here properly. No matter what, she is a Royalty. Behave or else your dream will be a dream."
Freya scoffed at her mother’s retreating back. As soon as she was gone, a few more girls ran to her to gossip immediately. One of them couldn’t help but speak in a taunting voice,
" Um.. Don’t you think the Duke is extra protective of her? Look, she wears something so eye-catching. Is she trying to belittle us?"
" Freya.. don’t you think that Duke and..she has a similar outfit? Like couple? "
At her remark, everyone whipped their heads back at the direction of Isabella who was trying hard to be non-existent in the party. Freya looked between them and after a while, her face fell.
Indeed, the color and fabrics looked absolutely the same as if they were made from a similar tailor. Even some parts of embroidery were alike. Freya didn’t say those words out loud but deep down, she was wondering what kind of relationship they had actually. She scoffed in front of everyone,
" Come on guys! Are you that delusional? Duke Silas, the sole heir of RICHALWOLF LAND will never like a infertile princess. It must be a coincidence that they are wearing almost the same clothes.Besides, I heard that they are good friends and the queen treats her like her own daughter. Just you know, she doesn’t have any daughter. So, they must treat her very well because of these reasons."
Someone muttered looking closely at Isabella,
" Her brother is a powerful king. Some people are born with luck."
Freya gritted her teeth after their words. Forcing a smile on her face, she excused herself from them to go over to Isabella near the bar,
" You guys talk too much. I am getting some drinks."
Freya lost her common sense in jealousy. Rushing over to the bar, she almost growled her words out to Isabella,
" What are you doing, Princess Isabella?You are wearing the same outfit as the Duke. Have you thought about the consequences? Now, everyone is gossiping about your relationship with him. You are disgracing the Duke on purpose."
Isabella was too stunned to say anything for a while. To confirm her accusations, her eyes followed Silas in distance to observe his dress closely. Her face blackened in no time.
She knew it...
She just knew it... This man..
Isabella wanted to pay a sincere apology to Freya who was growling lowly in rage. Before she could say anything in response, Freya huffed herself arrogantly. Crossing her arms over her chest, she continued to say venomously,
" Huh.. Are you dreaming of marrying him? Let me remind you! You are nothing but an infertile Princess who can’t even give him heir. If the people of RICHALWOLF LAND find it, they will definitely kick you out of this palace no matter if you are a princess or not. So, I suggest you change your clothes right away or leave the party immediately now."
