Chapter 106 Y yes , your highness , Emeriel confessed , her voice barely a whiper .
You have been deceiving us all this while .
Making fools of us .
Emeriels legs gave way beneath her , and she sank to the floor , covering her chest .
It was never my intention , your Majesty , I swear it ! You understand the consequences for a slave harboring secrets ont you ? Vladya asked , his voice measured .
Zaiper would have reminded you at every turn , Im sure .
Do you know the pushiment for deception , Emeriel ? A tear escaped Emeriels eye , tracing a path down her cheek .
Ye Your Highness And yet , you did it anyway .
You knew the penalty for those who ie to us , human or Urekai alike , yet you dared to deceive .
I know , but it was not a deliberate deception .
Emeriels shoulders slumped , a defeated sigh escaping her lips .
I.
I was raised this way .
My parents hid my gender to protect me the moment I was born .
I have lived this lie for so long that it feels more like a part of me than a secret .
When you and Lord Ottai purchased my sister , I didnt hesitate to follow her .
I didnt consider the consequences , the dangers .
All I wanted was to be with Ackeira … weve always looked out for each other .
She paused .
But then , the first day I arrived here , I went into hear.
Lord Vladyas expression remained impassive , but his eyebrows arched slightly .
Ic was the first time I acutely became aware of my feminine side , she confessed , looking away .
My menstrual flow was something normal .
A mundane task Id gotten used to .
But the heat ? It was something entirely different And when the beast took an interest in me , I knew I was in trouble .

Even more so because my heats are irregular and unpredictable .
But I couldnt bring myself to reveal my true gender .
I was terrified .
I know the consequences , and the hatred the rulers hold for my kind .
How could I confess to any of them .
I was already facing a death sentence when the truth came out .
So , I thought … why not just live one day at a time ? With a final , resigned shrug , Emeriel wiped away a stray tear .
Punish me as you see fit , Your Highness .
I accept my fate A heavy silence descended Your sister was well aware of your true gender , was she not ? Lord Vladya asked at last Emeriels eyes went wide .
Light gods , no .
Not Keira .
Emeriel began to shake her head , No , she doesnt- Careful , Emeriel .
The third ruler gave a warning growl .
Remember what I said about lying to me ? A sob escaped Emeriels lips .
Please , my Lord .
Not Ackeira , please .
Do whatever you wish to me but spare my sister .
She was only trying to protect me .
Everything she does is to protect me .
Hmm .
Everything she does is to protect you , he repeated , his brow furrowed in thought .
Y yes , my Lord .
Please , dont hurt her , it was all my fault .
Punish me .
During the introduction of slaves when Lord Zaiper ordered you to undress , your sister took your place .
Was it also to protect you or because she wants him ? 1/3 11:20 Mon , Dec 30 Chapter 106 .
81 %% Π Emeriels eyes snapped up to meet Lord Vladyas .
Want him ? Lord Zaiper ? Ackeira hates him ! He repulses her ! She once said shed rather lay with a seventy year old corpse than willingly lay with Lord Zalper- she gasped , hand flying to her mouth in horror .
Lord Vladyas eyebrow shot up , nearly vanishing into his hair .
Did she really just say that ? To a fellow grand lord ? A blush stain Emeriels cheeks .
She cleared her throat .
What I meant to say was , that Aekeira harbors no affection for Lord Zaiper whatsoever .
I apologize for my outburst , Your Highness .
Moments passed .
A shadow flickered across Lord Vladyas face , a subtle shift in his expression that Emeriel couldnt quite decipher .
No attraction towards him ? the grand lord pressed .
None at al Are you saying your sister feels no lust for him ? Emeriel hesitated .
He waved a dismissive hand .
You may speak freely .
Tell me the truth as you know it .
Never , Emeriel stated vehemently .
Aekeira avoids Lord Zaiper like the plague .
She goes to great lengths to ensure their paths never cross .
The day he forced her to undress and … touched her in her chambers , she was nauseated .
Lust ? Ackeira feels no sexual attraction towards anyone .
Certainly NOT for Lord Zaiper .
Lord Vladya turned away .
He appeared as though he had swallowed a particularly bitter pill .
Emenel sighed .
Back in Navia , King Orestus treated Aekeira badly .
He used her as a pawn , wagering her in bets and duels , He would even offer her to the victor as a prize .
The familiar anger simmered within her , but with effort , she tamped in down .
All my sister has ever known from men is pain and humiliation , Your Highness , She would never attempt to seduce or entice a male unless it was to protect me .
That is the only reason she acted as she did in court.
Lord Vladya strode to the window , and stared out into the night flicker of … something passing across his features .
Sadness ? Guilt ? Emeriel wasnt sure Please , spare Aekeira .
Her only crime was being born my sister .
And loving me fiercely .
Please , Lord Vladya , I beg you .
Your sister is exempt from punishment .
A wave of relief washed over Emeriel .
Thank you Your Highness , she murmured , her voice thick with gratitude .
Deception is not something I forgive .
She knelt straighter , head bowed .
I accept whatever punishment you deem fit .
With a sigh that seemed to stir the heavy drapes of his study , Lord Vladya sank back into his plush armchair .
You did me a favor .
Now , I will give your life back to you .
Huh ? Emeriels head shot up .
Confusion clouded her features as she glanced at him .
She couldnt comprehend his words .
For all your deception , Daemonikai is here today because of you .
You saved his life .
I saw you both that day when you bloodfed him , and it got me thinking .
It was either the constant mounting of you his Soulbond , or the drinking of your blood .
Or perhaps both .
But I know you are a major factor in his wakening bord Vladya turned to face her fully , his mask of inscrutability back in place .
You gave him back to me .
And in return , I will not take your life for what you did .
