Chapter 63 I love it here
Evan put her hands around Lord Raphael's arm as they both walked. She felt like a queen. At that point, Ezekiel was nonexistent in her mind. She chatted and talked to him. After talking for a very long time, they both entered a particular place that felt more well-kept and good-looking than the other places. The land of Greenwave has more than ten markets as it is extremely big. Though this was the market Evan and Zeke once visited, Zeke never took her to this area. Instead, he took her to the area where you can get groceries, and that place is the ending part of the market, unlike where Lord Raphael took her.
This place was the eyes of the market, where rich vampire elites usually get all their expensive items. Of course, as usual, curious Evan asked, and Lord Raphael took his time to answer all her questions. She also asked him about types of vampires and how all creatures can live together. However, Lord Raphael saw it as almost impossible for all creatures to live together.
“Why?”Evan let out the puppy eyes, making Lord Raphael stare at her without breaking his gaze.
“Haha, you won't understand. You're not a leader, so…” he teased. Zeke just listened as they both had fun. They went into the expensive shops one after the other. They first went to the jewelry shop to get some rings, according to Lord Raphael. He wants to buy some for Evan, making Evan's spirit joyful. This was a place she had never entered her entire life. As soon as the trio entered the area, multiple people started greeting Lord Raphael, as all the rich high-class vampires know him well. Thanks to various tea parties he always attends and some celebrations.
“Oh, Lord Raphael, WOW,” someone greeted as he gave a bow. Lord Raphael greeted back in the same gesture dramatically.
“Haha,Lord Raphael, did you come shopping here?” the man asked, and Lord Raphael gave a dull nod.
The man glanced at the person whom Lord Raphael was holding,and seeing that she was a lowly human, the man smiled.
“Hello, young lady,” the man said to Evan, stretching his hand forward and urging her to take it. Breathing out, Evan accepted it, taking the hand. “Handsome man, I'm Evan. How about you?” Evan greeted, her eyes surpassing the happiness of the sun.
“Haha,nice name,” he said. Meanwhile, Zeke wore a menacing demeanor as he glared at the guy who was lifting Evan's hand, intending to kiss it.
The man was none other than the annoying duke.
“Don't think of it,”he snapped, stepping forward and swatting Evan's hand out from his. Lord Raphael felt like dying at this point. He was busy praying Zeke wouldn't respond to this because if he does, which he already has, Zeries will surely want Evan as well, and this will not be good at all.
“Oh, Ezekiel, my friend,” said Duke Zeries, still staring at Ezekiel and Evan. Evan still wore her bright, charming smile.
“What is your problem?You think it's everyone you'll touch?” Duke Ezekiel asked, rolling his eyes, then taking Evan with him.
“Why are you angry?He was just saying hi,” Evan asked him, smiling wider as Zeke dragged her along.
“Saying hi,huh? By kissing…”
“My hand,”she corrected. Her spirit was thrilled to know that Zeke was feeling jealous. She managed to squeeze her hand out from Zeke's grip, pursing her lips and looking at his gray, furious eyes.
“Zeke,are you angry?” Lord Raphael said as he managed to catch up with them, putting his hands around Zeke's shoulders.
Zeke removed his hand.
“Let's go inside so I'll buy you something nice,so you can come to your senses,” after Zeke said those words, he went inside the store, dragging Evan with him.
What is wrong with him? Did something happen between him and the lord?Evan asked herself from within. She doesn't want to stay with Ezekiel; she wants to stay with Lord Raphael inside the shop.
They entered the elegant jewelry shop, which seemed nice and elegant. Evan gasped at the first sight.
“Wow,”she said, removing her hand from Zeke's own.
“Zeke,I want to stay with Lord Raphael for now,” she said wholeheartedly. Zeke frowned deeply. He at least knows how Evan's behavior was, always speaking from her heart no matter how bad the situation was. Sighing, he didn't bother to take back her hand.
Evan then put her hand on his head,making it messy, then she winked at him. She was about to run to Lord Raphael when Ezekiel pulled her by the waist, dragging her closer to him. Then, with an unpredictable expression, he pointed to his cheeks, urging her to kiss it.
Evan struggled to escape, but she knew it was useless. Given that he was a pureblooded vampire who was a duke, he must have developed his abilities well enough and was extremely strong. Though Evan had power, she was no match for this duke.
“Hey,let go now,” her voice sounded pleading. However, Ezekiel showed no intentions of letting go of her.
“You smell so good,” he complimented. Evan tried all she could.
“Hey,let go!! Let go now, please.”
“If you don't do it, when we get home you'll also kiss my lips, understood?” Zeke asked, using this to blackmail her. However, the girl thought what was important was to get away from him. She nodded without realizing what he said. Zeke smiled and let go. Evan immediately ran to the door and mistakenly bumped into Lord Raphael.
“Oh,milord, I'm so sorry. Thank goodness you're here already,” said Evan, putting her hands around Lord Raphael's arms. Lord Raphael smiled as he took her in.
“Zeke, what did you intend on buying?” Raphael asked.
“Wow,look at all the jewelry; it's so nice. Let's see then, milord. Leave Zeke to do what he wishes. I'll buy something nice for you!” Evan assured him. Zeke squeezed his eyes shut.
This girl!!
After looking at all different types of jewelry,Lord Raphael bought three expensive ones for Evan, while she bought him an expensive pendant. She had gotten the money from her money bank, who was Isabella. Isabella was extremely rich because she was the witch queen and has a lot of wealth.
Her wealth not only comes from her being a witch queen, as her late family was bloody rich.
“Hey,what is in your hand?” Lord Raphael asked Evan, noticing how she closed her hand as if something special was in it.
“Ah,it's nothing,” Evan lied, closing it properly as they all exited the shop door.
“Zeke,did you buy anything for me?” Raphael asked.
“No!”
“Why?”Raphael looked displeased.
“I'll get you something when we visit the other shops.This place doesn't suit you,” Ezekiel declared, quickening his pace as he walked further.
