Chapter 136 Her voice trembled .
I am scared , Lord Herod .
Terrified I wont be able to handle it .
Herods heart ached for her and he reached out , his calloused hand hovering just above her arm , hesitant to touch her overheated skin .
The I wont let you get hurt .
Trust me on that , he yowed , his gaze hardening with determination .
I will send for the grand king if I have to .
Emeriels eyes widened in alarm .
No ! she cried , her voice rising in pitch .
He cannot find out ! I would rather ride the waves alone ! Im not saying its my first choice , little one , Herod assured her , his expression softening .
But I will not let you suffer .
Because of your scent , I wont be here when your heat begins , but I will always be near .
He reached out again , this time gently cupping her chin , ignoring her flinch yet again .
Ill make sure youre safe , no matter what it takes .
GRAND KING DAEMONIKAI In the crowded court , Grand King Daemonikai recounted the ancient war against vampires to his rapt young audience , ranging from age thirty to two hundred .
Alvin had eagerly joined these gatherings .
Daemonikais throat tightened .
His eight hundred year old son had delighted in these storytelling sessions despite the age restriction .
Alvin had insisted on attending , much to the delight of the younger children who adored his company .
As twilight fell , Daemonikai forced himself to continue , the young grand king breached the vampire kings barrier , leading his soldiers into their hidden den .
With swords raised high , they battled the vampires .
Finally , Amphias the Conqueror , faced the young Urekai king , Daemonikai the Cruel .
Amphias , confident in his power , sought to conquer Urai .
Their brutal , bloody battle shook the earth .
Daemonikai paused letting his words sink in .
In the final moment , Amphias sank his fangs into the Urekai kings neck , but Daemonikai unleashed his beast form .
And with a decisive strike , he pierced Amphiass heart , ripped it out , and devoured it .
Gasps and cheers erupted .
A barrage of questions followed , and he answered them , unable to hide his smile at their wide- eyed admiration .
How did you survive eating the heart of an ancient vampire , Your Grace ? young Erasis asked in awe .
Daemonikai chuckled , his eyes twinkling with amusement .
I am far too old , dear Erasis .
Some poisons simply have no effect on me anymore .
Besides age , his body has developed a resistance to many things that would fell a lesser Urekai .
Smiling he answered all their questions .
Once done he emerged from the court , his head guard awaiting him .
He had shared many battles with Wegai over the centuries , bearing scars of countless wars they had fought side by side .
He had retired following Daemonikais descent into madness , but Daemonikai had reinstated him and all his most trusted soldiers upon his return .
Wegais loyalty was unwavering , his dedication absolute .
Grand Lord Vladya is not in Blackstone , Your Grace , Wegai reported , his voice grave .
1/3 11:26 Mon , Dec Chapter 136 Daemonikais brow furrowed .
Are you certain ? Positive , Your Grace .
I spoke with his head soldier .
3 Vladyas recent behavior had been … odd .
Hed been leaving the fortress frequently , his attention wandering during conversations , sometimes forgetting their discussions altogether Something was amiss .
But what ? And where did he vanish to when he left Blackstone ? Lost in thought , Daemonikai rounded a corner and came face to face with Ottai .
Your Grace , Ottai greeted with a warm smile and a respectful bow .
78 % +5 Lord Ottai , Daemonikai acknowledged , returning the gesture .
They fell into step , exchanging pleasantries as they walked towards the Southern Wing .
Have you seen Vladya ? Daemonikai asked , unable to shake the nagging worry .
Not since this morning , no .
Ottais smile faded slightly .
Is something the matter ? Hes been acting strange lately .
I cant quite put my finger on it , but something is wrong .
Ottai averted his eyes .

Nothing Im aware of , Your Grace .
Daemonikais eyes narrowed , his gaze boring into Ottai .
Ottai was closer to Vladya than Zaiper , and if something was truly wrong , Ottai would know .
Are you certain ? he pressed .
가가 A tense silence stretched between them .
Ottai shifted uncomfortably , his eyes darting away from Daemonikais penetrating gaze .
Im sure that if anything were wrong , Vladya would tell you , Ottai said at last , his voice carefully measured .
Ottai , the most honest and forthright of the grand rulers , was evading his questions .
Worse , he was lying .
Daemonikai paused .
If the situation was dire enough to make Ottai lie , then it was far more serious than he had initially suspected .
He would get his answers , and he would get them from Vladya himself .
EMERIEL By nightfall , Emeriel bolted upright , ripped from a fitful , tormented sleep .
She was thirsty , her throat burning like a parched desert .
So horny she was dripping like a faucet , the moisture soaking into the sheets beneath her .
Emeriel lurched towards the water pot , her movements clumsy and disjointed .
But an invisible force slammed into her , knocking the breath from her lungs .
Thousands of knives carved their way through her , searing her flesh , shredding her organs , and leaving behind trails of molten agony .
The pain was unlike anything Emeriel had ever experienced .
A scream tore from her throat .
Raw , pain filled , and animalistic , echoing through the silent cottage .
11:26 Mon , Dec 30 Chapter 136 Her vision blurred , the room spinning as she collapsed onto the floor .
If the previous waves of heat had been storms , this was a hurricane .
Emeriel rocked back and forth , clutching at her burning flesh as though she could somehow extinguish the inferno raging within .
Somehow extinguish the volcano erupting in her core , its molten lava burning her womanhood , consuming her entire being from the inside out .
She let out another scream .
And another .
Tears streamed down her face , mingling with the sweat pouring from her pores .
She clawed at the floor , her nails digging into the rough wood in a futile attempt to get away from the pain .
Oh my God ! She screamed .
This was different .
Nothing like she had felt before .
It was a monstrous , all consuming pain that shattered her very being .
This was her end .
Theres no way I will survive this .
