Chapter 166 Chapter 166 Daemonikais head snapped up .
What do you know ? She works here in Blackstone .
I know where to find her , the stoic soldier said quietly .
A maid ? Yaz shook his head , hesitating .
A slave .
Human .
66 % 45 The air between them stilled .
They were standing out in the open , but the silence was so thick that a pin drop would have echoed through the halls .
Say what now ? Yes , Your Grace .
Shes a newly acquired slave , Yaz explained .
Barely a year ago .
Lord Vladya and Lord Ottai traveled to the human kingdom to acquire her and her brother to serve your beast .
That wasnt news to him , Ottai had told him of this journey .
What was completely unexpected was the surrounding implications .
The idea that Vladya , emotionally detached , always in control Vladya , was drawn to a human girl , enough for his severed beast to fixate on her , was … staggering .
He glanced at Yaz .
Bring this girl to me .
Yaz bowed and turned on his heel .
Just as he vanished down the corridor , Ottai rounded the corner .
Your Grace .
I was at Frostfall , only to be informed you were here .
There are matters I wish to discu Ottai cut off abruptly , his attention snapping to the low , rumbling growl coming from inside the chamber .
A trace of worry crossed his face as he moved closer , his eyes finding Daemonikais .
How is he ? You knew .
Daemonikais voice was flat , accusatory .
Guilt flashed across Ottais face and he stopped just in front of Daemonikai , his broad shoulders drooping slightly .
Its been happening for a while now , I try my best to help , but … He shook his head .
You know how stubborn Vlad can be .
Still , you should have said something , Ottai , he said , the weight of his disappointment lacing his words .
I know .
Ottai hung his head .
I apologize , Your Grace .
They stood at the door , watching Vladya through the crack .
Hed taken a half shift again , prowling the room restlessly , snarling and snapping at nothing .
Ottai turned pale .
Do you think he is st stuck in a half shift ? Daemonikai observed Vladyas figure , his keen eyes studying every tremor , every twitch of muscle .
I think he is too agitated to revert .
Daemonikai wasnt entirely certain , but it had to be .
The alternative was unthinkable .
AEKERIA All day , the air in Blackstone was thick with fear , rumors darting through the corridors like arrows .
Whispers of their rulers descent into madness stirred a collective dread .
Tales of his abrupt disappearances , unpredictable actions , and todays isolation had the people terrified .
Murmurs that had 1/3 Chapter 166 3 66 % +5 once been mere shadows of suspicion had solidified into a clear truth .
Their ruler was going feral .
The fortress buzzed with melancholy all day .
Aekeira freshened up , staring at her reflection in the mirror , trying to shake the dread and anxiety that clung to her .
How is he ? Is he alright ? She sighed , running a quick comb through the tangled strands of her hair .
Her mind wandered to Em .
Perhaps she could go check on her .
Bring her back from Lord Herods estate if the pain of heat recovery had eased .
At least that , was within her control .
Aekeira , are you in there ? a soldiers voice shattered the quiet .
She stilled .
Was it Yaz ? Yes , soldier .
The grand king summons you to Blackstones royal residence .
Her heart lurched in her chest .
The Grand King ? Why ? King Daemonikai had never summoned her before , and she much preferred it that way .
Was it about Em ? The thought sent a fresh wave of panic through her .
Following Yaz , Aekeiras heart thudded wildly with every step .
The closer they got , her nerves went into overdrive .
At their destination , she barely registered Yazs announcement or his departure .
Her eyes were fixed on the floor , but she noticed the heavy black robes signifying the presence of not one , but two grand rulers .
Look at me , human The command wasnt harsh , but the deep voice held an undeniable authority that forced Aekeiras head up .
Y Your Grace .
So close to him , Aekeira was struck by his sheer size and presence .
He was more imposing than shed thought .
Tall , broad , and intimidating .
How did Em do it ? So , you are Aekeira .
His emerald eyes scrutinized her , sharp and assessing .
Aekeiras fingers dug into her knuckles .
Yes , your Grace .
You look incredibly familiar .
A frown creased his brow .
We have not met before , but you look like a girl I know .
Heavens , please , no .
Aekeiras stomach twisted in knots , fear shooting through her like thunderstorm .
Dont mention Em dont mention her … Her name is Galilea , King Daemonikai continued in a contemplative tone .
Betrothed to one of my high lords .
A princess , just like you .
1-1 … Aekeira was tongue tied .
Lord Ouai tilted tus head slightly .

I dont know Lord Herods betrothed personally , he said , observing her curiously .
But Im surprised .
She bears quite the resemblance to her brother , Eneriel Mmen , that too .
The grand king cocked his head , his gaze sharp Is the boy with no scent your brother ? Y yes , your Grace Oh god , oh god , oh god .
2/3 66 % Chapter 166 With no scent ? Lord Ottai scoffed , shaking his head .
Emeriel has a scent , alright .
One your beast greatly favored , if I recall .
+5 Aekeira was shaking now .
Her throat constricted , words trapped behind a wall of terror .
She gripped her garment so tightly her knuckles whitened .
King Daemonikai blinked slowly .
What ? The boys scent used to get to you in beast form .
We had him serving you specifically because of that .
Lord Ottai frowned , a puzzled crease forming between his brows .
Maybe he is on suppressants .
Why would that be ? The Grand Kings frown deepened as he turned toward Ottai .
How would a human slave hands on scent suppressants ? get their Maybe- Lord Ottai began .
Let the girl answer , Ottai .
King Daemonikais penetrating gaze shifted back to Aekeira .
Tell me , Aekeira , how did brother get his hands on suppressants ? your Aekeira feared her ribs would crack at how hard her heart was hammering .
Was this the way Em felt confronted by Lord Vladya ? How had she survived such an encounter ? Had her bladder threatened to betray her , just as mine is now ? Speak .
King Daemonikais voice cut through her spiraling thoughts like a blade .
Do not dare to deceive me , or you shall face the executioners blade .
You seem on the verge of collapse , Lord Ottai said with gentleness .
Fear not .
Simply speak the truth , and all shall be well .
Lord V Vladya .
He … uhm … he placed Em on s suppressants .
The words tumbled out of Aekeiras mouth .
