Chapter 109 You are so beautiful .
Emeriel whirled around to find Lord Herod standing in the doorway , his eyes filled with warmth .
Last week , when she visited him for food , he had made her an offer of a safe space to dress up like a fernale and explore her femininity inside his home .
This is a safe haven , Emeriel , he had said , gazing into her surped face .
Youve never truly fived as the lady you are .
Vera has many garments here , and I have no female offspring .
If you ver wish to see yourself as the princess are , you are welcome to try them on .
Emeriel had thanked him for his kindness , but declined the offer .
However , in the days that followed , the temptation took root in her .
She had always wondered what it would feel like .
As a child , she had occasionally donned Aekeiras clothes , with her sister standing guard , watching the door like a hawk to ensure they were not caught .
But that had been over a decade ago .
Realizing this might be her only chance to explore her femininity in a secure environment , she had informed Lord Herod when she arrived that she would like to accept his offer , if it was still available .
He had instructed two of his household human slaves to assist her in selecting and dressing in a suitable garment .
Now , gazing at her reflection in the mirror , tears welled up in Emeriels eyes as she heard his voice once more .
You are very , very beautiful , Emeriel , Lord Herod added , his voice warm and sincere as he entered the chamber fully The servants , acknowledging his presence , inclined their heads respectfully before discreetly withdrawing .
The dress suits you perfectly .
You would have made a truly stunning princess Thank you , My Lord , Emeriel curtsied , a lump forming in her throat as she glanced back at the mirror .
She couldnt deny that she looked remarkably beautiful .
Her hair flowed freely around her shoulders , tumbling down her back like a waterfall of black waves .
The deep blue velvet gown , adorned with shimmering pearls and gemstones , accentuated her slender figure , its long flowing sleeves and fitted bodice creating an elegant figure .
The soft , warm footwear felt like a luxurious caress against her skin.
I hope you dont mind that I am wearing your late bondmates clothes , she said hesitantly , I could still remove them if Lord Herod smiled gently , shaking his head .
It brings me joy , lile Emeriel , he reassured her , his eyes sad .
For thirty years , her things have remained dormant , untouched .
I could not bring myself to part with them .
Rivera would not mind at all .
In fact , I believe she would be cheering you on .
Emeriels heart ached with sympathy for his enduring grief .
Im so sorry .
He nodded .
Would you like to accompany me to the Lantern Festival tomorrow night ? You could go as you are , dressed as a female .
No one would give you a second glance .
You look completely different from the boy in well worn breeches and tunic , with his hair tied back in a ponytail Emeriel looked back at her reflection , her heart fluttering with excitement .
She truly loved how she looked in the feminine attire .
S did look different .
But could she really go out in public like this , without anyone recognizing her ? A wave of newfound confidence washed over her .
I would be delighted to attend the festival with you , My Lord , she replied , a radiant smile illuminating her face .
Excellent , Lord Herods eyes sparkled with satisfaction .
The lanterns are almost ready .
Yours is particularly lovely .
You should go to the courtyard and see it for yourself .
If theres anything youd like the workers to adjust , they would be happy to oblige .

1/3 11:21 Mon , Dec 30 U Chapter 109 Emeriel might have been a prince for twenty years , but she had learned the refined manners of a princess by attending many of Ackeiras lessons alongside her .
Dressed in this elegant attire , those lessons seemed to come naturally She curtsied gracefully , her voice filled with gratitude .
Your kindness towards me is immeasurable , My Lord Stepping out of the bedchamber into the grand expanse of the residence , she was met with an unexpected announcement resonating through the air .
Hail to His Majesty the First , the mighty and supreme sovereign ruler of Urai , His Grace , Grand King Daemonikai My beloved ? Emeriel froze .
Rooted to the spot as the entrance doors swung open , revealing the magnificent figure of the grand king , Her heart thudded as their eyes met across the room .
Beloved is here .
My beloved is here .
She was paralyzed , unable to do anything but stare .
Grand King Daemonikai approached , his gaze locked onto her , and a hush fell over the room .
Emeriel , her legs trembling , managed a deep curtsy .
Y Your Grace , she stuttered , from a parched throat .
Silence met her greeting .
As she raised her eyes , she saw the grand king for the first time up close His face was expressionless , but those piercing green eyes scrutinized her intently .
Taking in every detail of her appearance .
from the crown of her head to the tips of her toes .
Moments felt like an eternity .
Emeriel was beginning to think he would not respond to her .
You honor me with your graceful curtsy .
His voice a deep , resonant baritone sent shivers down her spine .
To whom do I owe the pleasure of her acquaintance ? Oh , that voice .
It was even richer and more captivating than she had imagined .
He really was , without a doubt , the most handsome male she had ever encountered in a kingdom filled with good looking males .
So striking , intimidating , and powerful more so up close .
It was the kind of face one would dare only to steal one or two -fleeting glance at , for fear of being caught staring But he had caught her .
Emeriel quickly averted her gaze , her cheeks flushed with embarrassment .
Uhmm , I am … uhmm … .
Your Grace , Lord Herods voice interjected , a welcome relief to Emeriel .
He came up behind her and bowed respectfully .
To what do I owe this great honor of your magnificent presence I came to discuss matters of importance , Daemonikai replied , his eyes fixed on Erteriel .
But first , tell me , Herodis , who is the lady ?
