Chapter 178 Chapter 178 He should come out and face us first .
We need to see his face jakal added coldly .
Tuman , leave our kings fack and gu stand at the center Emeriel made a soft , helpless sound , but finally , relinquished her grip on Daemonikai and stepped into the open , her body quivering like a leaf in the wind .
Daemonikai remained motionless , merely watching .
Those truly are breasts , Zaiper said , awed and incredulous .
I should have seen this before … it was all right there .
The missing piece of the puzzle Once that one piece falls into place , the other connections become glaringly obvious .
Vladya saw Zaipers mind turn , like the inner workings of a clock .
Saw the exact moment the cogs clicked into place .
Zaiper went pale .
His jaw slackened , eyes as round as a full moon .
He knows Emeriel is Daemonikais Soulbond .
You … you … Zaiper took a step back , his breath out of control , composure crumbled to dust .
Is everything alright , your Majesty , Zaiper ? Concern was etched on Gaffs face .
All is as you can see , Gaff .
We have a female who dared to live amongst us here in Ravenshadow under the guise and deceit , for months and months on end , Zaiper rallied , trying to mask how shaken he was .
How much he despised knowing Daemonikais Soulbond stood within reach , yet he couldnt pick her up and snap her spine in two .
But he had plenty of reasons to execute Emeriel , and the thought clearly excited him .
He was trying hard to curb it , but Vladya could see through it all .
That glint in his eyes was one of anticipation .
The crime of identity deception is so severe even the grand king might not be able to save Emeriel , and Zaiper knew that .
Vladya glanced at his old friends inscrutable face .
In moments like these , he wished he could peer into Daemonikais mind and know what was going on in there .
Was he contemplating intervention , or would he simply walk away , leaving Emeriel to her fate ? And he could leave .
Their kingdom held together because of the grand rulers inflexibility of law enforcement .
Daemonikai himself did not tolerate lawlessness .
In a land where every male harbored a beast inside , one that could turn feral at the slightest misstep , strict laws were not just necessary they were essential .
Vladya sighed , his gaze drifting back to the girl who now stood in the spotlight , surrounded by angry Urekai like tiny prey among ravenous predators .
He wished there was something he could do for her .
The girl might truly meet her end on this day if her furious male did not interfere .
Vladya liked to believe he didnt care about what the outcome of today might be , but that would be a lie .
The truth was , he … admired Emeriel .
The girls survival instincts were top notch , remarkable even .
Everything she had done , every lie shed told , was in the name of survival .
Vladya could relate to that .
And she looked like she had been dragged through hell and back How desperate must she have been to forsake everything and call out to her beloved for help ? Chapter 178 There will be no trial for this case , for a judgment has been pas d .
Zapers voice rang out , silencing the crowd By the power vested in me .
I pronounce you guilty of Identity Deception , High Fraud , Monarchial Betrayal , and a multitude of other serious crimes we might have uncovered in a trial Vladya almost snorted .
For someone so nonchalant about kingdom affairs , Zaipers knowledge of the less was surprisingly extensive You will be executed for your crimes , Zaiper continued , his tore merciless and final .
You will be locked up in the dungeons while the rulers deliberate on your method of execution .
No food .
No water Choose the most brutal execution method ! someone shouted from the crowd , others echoing the sentiment .
Humans are the scum of the earth ! Kill her now ! Kill her now ! Silence , everyone ! Zaipers gaze swept over the crowd .
Make no mistake , we shall punish the human accordingly .
Soldiers , take her away ! .
Emeriels shoulders slumped in resignationas they marched forward , their heavy boots echoing on the cobblestones .
Vladya had seen enough .
He opened his mouth to speak , but another voice beat him to it .
Soldiers , you will do no such thing .
Daemonikais words , low and authoritative , cut through the chaos .
Gasps rose from the crowd as he finally moved , stepping forward to stand in front of Emeriel .
Get out , all of you , he ordered the soldiers .
They bowed and retreated without hesitation .
What is going on , King Daemonikai? Zapier spoke with mocking disdain .
Daemonikai crossed his arms .
What does it look like , Lord Zaiper ? It looks like you are attempting to interfere with the punishment of a criminal .
Surely , that cannot be , can it , Your Grace ? Shock rippled through the crowd and murmurs of betrayal rose I wonder if there is still a punishment , when there were no crimes to begin with , Zaiper , Daemonikai said smoothly , yet voice carried an undercurrent of steel .
Zaipers brows furrowed .
I do not understand .
his The grand rulers were aware of her identity , Daemonikai announced , finally meeting Vladyas gaze .
The third ruler , were you not ? I was aware , Vladya spoke aloud , stepping forward .
The crowd made noises , but he paid them no heed , standing beside Daemonikai .
I was aware .
Even the fourth ruler was aware .
Grand Lord Ottai , am I wrong ? Huh ? Ottai was completely befuddled , staring at both of them .
I was ? Of course you were .
We authorized this together , did we not ? Vladya pressed .
Ottai regained his composure .
Y yes .
Yes , we did .
Nose in the air , he came forward stopping beside Vladya .
I was aware too .
I have always known Emeriel was a girl .
11:01 Tue , Jan 14 G Chapter 178 That is preposterous ! Zaiper roared , his face flushed with anger None of you could have been aware , could have authorized this ! None of you ! I do not know , Zaiper .
Are you calling us liars ? Daemonikais voice was dangerously calm , his gaze pinning Zaiper in place .
Are you implying something , Grand Lord Zaiper ? The second rulers confidence cracked .

He took a shuddering breath .
No , Grand King , I am not .
I merely cannot understand what is going on here .
Allow me to enlighten you , Vladya stated .
Lord Ottai and I picked her from the human kingdom ourselves , and upon transportation , she revealed the truth to us .
We have been aware of this humans identity right from the start .
