GRAND LORD VLADYA
Vlady a stayed silent. He felt nothing about the girl's death either
Maybe he would have felt guilt or something like it if he still had a soul. Sadly, his heart was now an empty space
where his soul used to be, and his conscience had died five centuries ago. Along with his former hondmate. And
best friend.
Lord Vladya rose from his chair. "I must remove liri dead body from the forbidden chambers. The young prince
will go next. His lips tightened in disapproval. "This means Lord Ottal and | must make another trip to the human
lands. This time, we will travel across the twelve kingdoms and take all the princesses, even the daughters of the
wealthy. We made a mistake bringing back only two. We should have taken at least fifty"
"That course of action could potentially trigger another was," Oui protested.
"I would not mind one. Vladya deadpanned without emotion. In fact, | welcany fight that comes my way."
As always, Ouai tried to keep the peace and gave him a pleadinglook. "Let us be careful. | believe we can reach
our goals without starting a war. | must leave now. | promised Morina | would hunt with her this morning" A
familiar sting of jealousy struck Vladya's chest.
Ottai had been bonded to Morina for a thousand years and would gladly give his life for her. He may have lost his
only son that tragic night, but at least his bondmate was still alive.
Ouai left first, and Vladya followed, heading toward the grand entrance.
"Lord Vladya?" Zaiper called out.
Vladya stopped and turned to face him.
"Our grand throne cannot stay empty any longer."
"I have no plans to challenge or fight Daemonikai," Vladya stated firmly.
Zaiper's anger rose, and his eyes burned with fury. "I know he was your best friend, but that is not Daemonikal
anymore! H is now a wild beast that must be killed!" Vladya looked at him with a calm, uncaring gaze. "Let me
make it clear. | will not challenge or fight the beast"
With that, he turned to leave.
"I will speak to the Elders then. It has been five centuries. | am sure | can convince them to see reason, Zaiper
said with determination.
Vladya stiffened, anger burning inside him. But he kept his face calm as he turned back.
Zaiper grinned wolfishly. "It's a shthat princess died. | havent heard a girl scream like that in a long time,
She would have been fun to mount, wouldn't you agree?"

"I will not dignify that with a response," Vladya said shortly. Turning away, he walked out of the grand entrance
without looking back.

EMERIEL
Emeriel returned to his chambers after being thrown out of the southern wing, only to find Amie waiting for him,
saying Madam Livia wanted to see him.
He was panicking. This secret wayout. Had the head maid reported him? Was she calling him to blackmail him?
With his heart in his throat, he knocked on Madam Livia's door and was allowed in.
"Sit down," the older woman said, walking to the table where shenixed herbs.
Emeriel obeyed. He was so nervous that his legs bounced.
The head maid caine back with a wooden cup. "Drink this."
Emeriel fought the
urge to ask what was in it. Taking what was offered, he drank it all in one gulp. The bitter taste was so bad it took
all his willpower not to spit it out. The older woman walked away and began cutting another set of dry leaves
while Emeriel watched her.
"Chew on this," Madam Livia instructed, giving him sseeds, and Emeriel did as told. "I know you must be
sore all over after the night you had. These will help with the pain, bruises, and soreness."
Thank you, madam. Emeriel's blue eyes showed his gratitude.
His body hurt badly, and the soreness in his private areas made it hard to walk without discomfort. It was hard
not to walk with his legs apart. A hush settled in the air.
But the waiting was too much for him.
"Why are you not askingquestions?" Emeriel asked, at last, looking at her.
She stood by the fireplace, her eyes thoughtful but unreadable.
"I thought about it all night-haven't thought of much else. You are taking a great risk, Prince Emeriel
"I do not have a choice."
"Mm." Madam Livia hummed. "I have been thinking about what to do. Should | report this to Grand Lord Vladya?
Should
"No!" Emeriel dropped to his knees immediately. "Please, you cannot tell anyone?"
Madam Livia pressed her lips together and looked away. | wish | did not know, If this comes out, | would be
punished wit you."
"Please, do not! | will do anything!" he begged, his voice filled with desperation.
The madam sighed, rubbing her
forehead as if she had developed a
headache. It does not matter what
you do. Nothingness if Go are
See who knows about
this will be punished just as harshly."
‘| will swear no one knew!" Emeriel
promised. "Not you, not Amie, not my
sister. | will keep denying it until | die,
| swear my parents graves." The

Alone
He had known this since he was old enough to understand that his life was not his own. But he had accepted it
long ago.
"If it was bad before, it will be worse in the future," Livia said, breaking his thoughts. "You are a Syren."
