Chapter 159 The door opened , and Ackeira entered to see Em on the bed , unclothed , a thick towel beneath her .
Identical towels were stacked nearby Aekeira counted ten before her attention snapped back to Em .
Her sister made pained sounds , curled in a fetal position with her back to Ackeira .
She hadnt reacted to the sound of the door .
Aekeira approached , heart aching .
Em … Em jerked , slowly unfurling to face her .
Eyes fluttered open .
Keira ? * Its me .
Emotion thickened Ackeiras throat , and she leaned in embracing her sister .
Em , Ive missed you so much .
Em whimpered .
Dont touch me .
Hurts .
Sorry , sorry .
Ackeira pulled away but remained close , worry etched on her face .
How do you feel ? You look ill .
Just very tired .
Ems face contorted in discomfort .
She parted her legs slightly letting out a long , pained moan as a whitish fluid began to seep out from- Aekeiras cheeks flushed .
Oh .
Is that why Ems belly was swollen , like a woman newly with child ? Finally , Em slumped forward , the towel beneath her soaked .
Concern far outweighed Aekeiras embarrassment .
Is it supposed to be like this ? Em managed a weak nod .
Do I need to change your towel ? Not yet .
Em settled back onto the bed , her breath shallow .
Ill be back .
Aekeira rose , hurriedly filling a bowl with water from the nearby pitcher and fetched a washcloth .
Returning to Ems side , she dipped the cloth in the water and began to gently clean her sister .
Ems skin was burning hot and Aekeira took care to avoid contact , making sure only the washcloth touched her body .
Em drifted in and out of sleep , occasionally wincing or moaning in pain .
Aekeiras throat tightened , fighting back tears as she ran the wet cloth over Ems arm , down her chest , and over her ribs .
Her sister was clearly suffering .
Em stirred restlessly , murmuring incoherent words .
What did you say ? Aekeira leaned closer , straining to hear .
I want him , Em cried , a tear slipping down her cheek .
My Beloved .
Hes needed in court , Em .
Im sure he would be here if he could Aekeira lied gently , hoping to soothe her .
Em nodded , then let out another pained sound as more fluid leaked from her parted legs .
Aekeira replaced the soaked towel with a fresh one .
Eventually she breathed a sigh of relief as Ems breathing evened out in sleep .
The door creaked open .
How is she ? Lord Herod entered , his voice hushed .
She just fell asleep .
Aekeira drew the sheet over Ems form , brushing away a tear .
She looked at Lord Herod with concern .
Is it always like this ? n 1/3 14:33 Tue , Jan Chapter 159 He nodded solemnly .
Sometimes worse , sometimes better .
Its the nature of the heat Shell renner , dont But why does it happen this way ? He paused at the foot of the bed , considering his words .
During heat , a female experiences extreme lust and unnatural stamina to endure three days of continuous coupling .
Something entirely impossible outside of heat .
Any harm that comes then , she wont feel , due to the overwhelming arousal .
Its like being dosed with a powerful drug , but now its wearing off Beloved … Em murmured in her sleep , shifting restlessly , her face contorted .
What about the grand king ? Ackeira hesitated , dread creeping in .
He spent three days with her in this state .
Do you think hes realized that Em … that Em is his … I dont know , child .
Lets hope not , Lord Herod sighed .
We had a visitor last night the Werewolf King and his entourage .
They waited for the grand king , even after the grand lords tried to receive them .
Its a matter of importance .
The grand king will be occupied for some time , perhaps even journeying to Fur The werewolf kingdom ? Ackeira echoed .
Yes .
We are allies .
Recently , important matters have arisen between our kingdoms .
The point is , hell be very busy for a while .
RAZARR Razarrs jaw hung slack , stunned by the news .
The sword he had been polishing hovered in his grasp , forgotten .
Galeb , his third in command , had similarly abandoned his task of cleaning their shield , equally shocked .
Are you certain of what you just said ? Razarr finally managed , his eyes fixed on his second .
Absolutely , Mich said gravely .
I doubted it myself at first , but my source is impeccable .
Razarr continued to stare , half expecting Mich to break into laughter and reveal it all as a jest .
But after centuries of fighting side by side , Razarr knew Mich was not one to trifle with such matters .
Emeriel is a girl ? The words tasted absurd even as he spoke them .
Not only that , Mich continued , his voice low , shes a Syren who just went through her first heat .
And spent it with the grand king .
Impossible ! Galeb hissed .
This is madness ! Yet , a strange sense of clarity washed over Razarr .
The pieces of the puzzle were finally clicking into place the feral beasts odd behavior toward the boy , the unexplainable events surrounding Emeriel … it all made a twisted kind of sense now .
This was the missing link .
Are you absolutely sure your sources are reliable , Mich? Galeb pressed .
I trust your judgment , but this … I kept watch on the boy , as ordered , Mich explained .
But he vanished from the fortress a few days ago .
Initially , I assumed it was a harmless escapade .
He was at a high lords estate , and I thought perhaps there was a … sexual thing going on .
But after two days passed with no sign of him , I grew suspicious .
Especially when all the male staff had been dismissed , replaced by female soldiers .
The telltale sign of a heat , Razarr murmured , tracing the grooves of his sword with a fingertip .
Exactly .

Mich sat beside them .
But I had to be certain .
So I had one of the soldiers taken by my men .
He wouldnt divulge a 012 14:33 Tue , Jan 7 Guo Chapter 159 0461 % thing , no matter how much we … persuaded him .
Mich snorted Damn thing was loyal to a fault .
But when I heard in the fortress the grand king was off helping a young female through her heat , my suspicions grew .
Still , I needed confirmation .
So , I had my men kidnap the soldiers bondmate , threaten to slit her throat if he didnt talk .
Galeb hummed in approval .
Then , he talked , I assume .
Spilled everything .
The boy is actually a girl .
A Syren .
