Chapter 177 Chapter 177 EMERIEL Emeriel swallowed tightly , and let the truth go .
My name is Emeriel .
King Daemonikai let go of the lifeless body and it fell to the ground .
Dark fury gathered in his eyes , so terrifying Emeriels heart began the drumming of doom .
You deceived me ? He sounded calm and enraged all at once .
Emeriel shuddered .
Im s sorry .
Sorry .
So pathetic , so inadequate .
One does not weave webs of lies , and spin the kind of deception she did , and all they could say was sorry .
But Emeriels mind has gone blank .
She struggled to think , to find a way to explain herself , but the drums of doom drowned out all coherent thoughts .
The grand king said something , but Emeriel couldnt hear it .
Her vision tunneled , and all she could see was his murderous face closing the distance between them .
Get up ! Run away ! Her mind screamed , but her body refused to obey .
Rooted to the spot .
Paralyzed .
He was going to kill her , Emeriel just knew it .
The world narrowed to a pinprick of light as darkness crept in .

I think Im going to faint .
Relief blanketed her .
This , this one she could face .
I wish I never wake .
+13 Emeriel woke slowly , her senses gradually returning to her .
She was draped across the powerful , muscular back of the beast .
Dressed once again in her slave garment , but her hair was unbound , cascading loosely over her shoulders .
The feeling of her breasts without the usual tight bindings was hard to ignore , too .
The paralyzing fear was back , but she forced it down .
This is her beast .
She had spent countless nights in its arms , had handfed and bloodfed it , even been mounted repeatedly by it .
This beast had always been her protector .
It wouldnt hurt her .
But that beast is still King Daemonikai .
A King Daemonikai who just discovered your deceit .
She anxiously scanned their surroundings .
They had just passed through the fortress gates where a small crowd had gathered , murmuring , and pointing at the beast .
But it was the grand lords standing at the very front , watching and waiting , that terrified her most .
All of them were present .
Lord Ottai looked completely perplexed , worry evident in the deep lines on his face .
Lord Vladyas expression was a carefully constructed mask , but his eyes were locked on her , penetrating and uncomfortable as usual .
Emeriel looked away fast .
Lord Zaipers face was a study in confusion , calculating .
The beasts massive paw shifted behind her , steadying her as he rose to his hind legs and shifted back into his human form .
King Daemonikai stood tall , sliding her down his back until she stood , trembling , behind him .
What is going on , Your Grace ? a high lords voice cut through the tense silence .
The way you left court … Tue , Jan Chapter 177 We were worried , another added quickly .
Ive never been so scared ! Wait .
Is that not Emeriel ? High Lord Gaffs sharp eyes had spotted her .
Every head turned in her direction .
Emeriel is a girl ? another high lord added in confusion ..
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd , Murmurs rose from the gathered people , those at the back strained to see , their voices growing louder but the soldiers quickly formed a protective barrier , keeping them at bay .
Grand Lord Zaiper stepped forward , his expression grave .
What is going on here , Your Grace ? Emeriel is female ? Not that grand lord .
Emeriel could practically see her life flashing before her eyes .
Her breath hitched , and tears welled up as she pressed herself tightly into King Daemonikais wide back .
Step away from the grand king and face the council , you foolish human , Lord Zaiper barked , his voice sharp like a whip crack .
You have to answer to us .
Hope to your gods that we have misunderstood a chest , perhaps swollen from bruises , for feminine breasts .
For if they are truly what they seem , this gathering will be your last ! Emeriel whimpered , clinging to the grand kings back as if her life depended on it .
He still hadnt uttered a word .
The murmurs swelled into angry roars .
The high lords , their faces contorted in shock , anger and disgust , muttered amongst themselves , shaking their heads .
But how could you deceive an entire elite council of Urekai ? a voice demanded , probably another high lord , though Emeriel couldnt see who it was from where she hid .
Say something , Your Grace , another high lords voice , this one demanding , echoed through the courtyard .
Why cant I ever catch a break ? All Emeriel had wanted was a few moments of respite after a brutal heat and an even more brutal recovery .
She had planned to sneak back into the fortress unnoticed , blend in as she always did , and collapse into sleep before the next round of duties began .
Was that so wrong ? Was that too much to ask ? Why , of all days , did it have to happen today ? When she could barely muster the strength to speak , let alone plead , apologize , or explain .
All her energy had been drained from her , and now she felt like a hollow shell , with nothing left to give .
Overwhelmed , she buried her face against the grand kings back , soaking his robes with her tears .
She waited for the inevitable .
Waited for him to pull away .
To hand her over to the vultures that encircled them , eager for her blood .
GRAND LORD VLADYA An unexpected emotion crawled up inside Vladya as he watched the girls fingers tighten around Daemonikais robes .
Pity .
Was she even aware of how desperately she clutched him , as if he were her only lifeline ? Did she realize that she was hiding behind a tornado to shield herself from the storm ? The very person she should fear the most was the one she held onto for protection .
Daemonikai had not said a word .
To everyone else , his face was expressionless , impassive .
But Vladya had known the male for centuries , he saw the fury simmering just beneath the surface Daemonikai was pissed as hell at Emeriel .
