Married To The Mad Vampire Lord-Chapter 216: Mind link_Part 1

The man was not only annoying but talkative, and it was exhausting to be around him. It was hard to get him to be in a relaxed manner long enough to be compelled. The last thing Rav wanted was for him to keep coming and bringing the attention of the neighborhood like he did yesterday.

The neighborhood they were in was an open place where everyone could peek into each other’s yard, and from what he had noticed, many gossipmongers lived all around who seemed to be keeping a constant curious eye out on them from their windows, trying to know the new people who had moved in recently.

"What should I do to him if he comes around again?" Rav asked the master, who turned to watch him with his dark eyes glistening heatedly, and then he spoke without missing a heartbeat.

"If Ben, whatever the fuck his name is, comes back here, find a way to kill him. I do not want anyone complicating things for us."

Rav scratched the back of his head at those words. "I do not believe we can get away with killing in this land, my Lord. Have you forgotten that it’s a small land where every single person’s birth and death records are kept with the magistrate? And if someone goes missing, it is truly investigated by the laws. Many had seen him causing a commotion here. If we kill him, we will be the first ones to be pointed to, and—"

"Fuck Bimmerville’s stupid laws. I should have found a better human land to buy a house for my wife. This place is messed up. I don’t care how you do it, just make sure that parrot doesn’t complicate things for us," Rohan gritted with controlled rage, not liking one bit how restricting everything in this land was and how, for the first time, he would have to abide by the laws because he had to protect his family.

"I am thinking of offering him the job of the stableman. He and the other stableman can work together. That will keep him from giving us any future trouble, and you won’t have to see or hear his annoying loud voice if he is in the stables," Rav suggested.

"Do whatever you think will work—just make sure I don’t see his face or hear his voice," Rohan said to Rav. Then he turned away from the street and made his way back toward the house to check if his wife was awake, so she could take the blood medicine. It would give her strength and ensure she didn’t grow weak from carrying the demon inside her.

Rav watched his master make his way into the house with long, angry strides and knew it would take a while for Rohan to adjust to the laws here and act more human. Bimmerville was the safest human land in all the lands, but it was the most dangerous place for vampires and any other creatures.

With the constant eyes of the neighborhood and the patrolling knights who walked the street at night, it was impossible for them to act recklessly and kill anyone from this land. Every person, from the commoners to the aristocrats, was important here. Even though the classes were different, any mysterious disappearance of a citizen was always investigated and truly looked into—not because the king cared about every one of them, but because he was watching out for the vampires.

Rav knew that his master had a lot of adjusting to do, but thankfully, he cared about his wife enough to want to adjust and do things the normal way.

Rav stayed out for a while, waiting for the time Ben Rufford would appear, as it was said he came by yesterday early in the morning and left when he was told they were not around—and returned again in the afternoon. He couldn’t help but think the man was a pest he would have loved to get rid of for his master.

He stood by the street until the sky brightened and many of the public coaches began to move on the streets and the neighborhood was coming awake with noises. He could hear the loud cry of kids being awoken in the morning and the activities in the other manors in the enclosed community.

He was starting to believe Ben wouldn’t come today and was turning into the yard when a coach came to a stop before the gate—and there came the man, whose voice could be heard speaking to the coachman even before he walked down the step of the coach.

"...you keep adding more fees to the coach fares like money drops from the sky. Yesterday I took a coach here for a silver and now you tell me I have to pay two, because the wheel grease has become expensive. Tomorrow you will take five because you can’t keep your ass seated on the seat because it’s expensive, che," came Ben’s displeased voice as he argued with the coachman, who took the coins he offered and then spat out in anger.

"Greedy bastard. I am never taking men like you into my coach again. Go find a job and stop complaining about the economy!" the coachman chided as he chewed a stick in his mouth and spat out the juice toward Ben, who stepped back quickly and then groaned in disgust.

"Fat pig! I hope your horses collapse!" Ben called out as he wiped off the disgusting juice of the tobacco stick the man had spat on his coat. He was still wiping it and grumbling words to himself as he turned and almost came headfirst into Rav, who stood at the side of the road, watching the scene the man had created with the coachman.

Ben let out a startled scream before he could control it, as Rav had scared the soul out of him. "Lord in heavens! Man, why would you do that?!" Ben exclaimed as he patted his chest and glared at the man who was standing like a ghost before him. "Your skin almost looks as white as the snow that I didn’t see you standing there. I almost thought you are a pole or—"

"I reckon you came back to persuade me into giving back your job?" Rav asked blankly, going straight to the point before the man would start to quote the law like he did yesterday or begin to talk nonstop. He could not help but wonder who had even assigned someone like this to work as a coachman for the lady when Rohan bought the Manor. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Many of the hired staff had been handled by the previous landlord, who had taken the money and then promised to handle the hiring and stocking the house with tools and supplies.

Ben cleared his throat as he stood up straight to his height. "Yes, I am here to demand my job back. I have taken your case to the official magistrate office and they offered to call your master in for mercilessly depriving a man of his work without a reason or a notice that he—"

Rav cut the man off with a tiring sigh and raised his hand. "You won’t be getting the job of the coachman back, but if you are willing, we have another position to offer you."

Ben’s blue eyes narrowed in suspicion. "What position is that?" he asked. Though he was willing to work as anything as he had no other place of getting a job now, he wouldn’t let them think he was that desperate for work. He had been doing his job properly without issues, but suddenly they fired him without giving him a reason. Such heartless people. He thought to himself with a scoff.

"The stableman. It pays the same wage as the coachman. If you can’t take that, you may go—"

"Who said I won’t take it!" Ben quickly interjected. "I want the work, sir, and I shall not disappoint you," he said with a respectful bow of his head to his employer, his arrogant demeanor to demand for his work gone at the mention of having another position that pays the same.

It turned out they were not entirely heartless anyway. For some reason, he had begun to think of them as vampires in the form of humans, because only those cold-blooded creatures were heartless and unreasonable to humans.
