hapter 179 Chapter 179 I find that hard to believe .
Zaiper sputtered , his voice thick with indignation .
She went into heat her first night in Ravenshadow , Zaiper .
An arogant smirk played at the corners of Vladyas lips , because he simply couldnt help himself .
He was enjoying messing with iper too much .

Its really impossible to hide ones identity when heat is involved , dont you think ? A noisy inhale swept through the crowd .
Then , stunned silence .
Thats right , Daemonikai added .
She is also Syren .
The high lords looked utterly dumbfounded .
For some , their anger melted away , replaced by a glimmer of hope .
A could- she be mine kind of hope .
Even Ottai had his jaw on the ground before Vladya nudged him subtly .
The fourth ruler quickly recovered , adopting the expression of someone who had always been in the know .
Poor , cute Qttai .
Vladya hid his amusement .
That was why we had to conceal her identity , Vladya continued smoothly .
If she remained female and Syren , all of you would have been on her like bees to a carcass .
One aspect had to be hidden to protect the other , and since she had lived as a boy her whole life , it was the easier choice .
But why the secrecy ? High Lord Daryls voice broke the silence .
Would it not have been better if we knew she was Syren ? She might make a good bondmate to one of us .
She might belong to one of us .
She does .
She belongs to me .
Daemonikais cold eyes stayed on Zaiper , his voice a possessive growl .
She was made for me .
She is mine .
The air stilled around them .
Thats right , Vladya confirmed .
The girl is our grand kings Soulbond .
A catastrophic noise exploded through the courtyard , yet again , myriad expressions of shock displayed on everyones faces .
But what truly caught his attention was the reaction of Daemonikais bloodhost .
Mistress Sinai had gone deathly pale .
Her grip on her maids arm tightened until her knuckles turned white .
She swayed on her feet , nearly collapsing , but her maid caught her , holding her upright .
Vladya almost felt sympathy for her .
He knew Sinai had harbored feelings for Daemonikai for a very long time .
Turning back to the crowd , Vladyas voice cut through the din .
That is why we ordered her to remain a secret .
If people discovered there was a Syren slave , she would be abducted and forced to endure countless bonding rituals born from desperation .
Am I wrong ? Several high lords cleared their throats , gazes of guilt averted .
No , he was not wrong , and they all knew it .
Daemonikai moved forward , in his commanding presence .
Lord Vladya and Lord Ottai felt obligated to protect what is mine .
They authorized her to keep her identity a secret , even when she did not wish to .
It is not a crime to protect what belongs to us .
I was not informed of this , Zaiper protested , bitterly .
It is still identity deception and fraud because I was not aware .
Oh , come on now , second ruler .
Everyone here knows how you cannot keep it in your pants .
Almost lawless in that regard , Chapter 179 really , Daemonikai insulted him bluntly .
Zaiper flushed a deep red with anger .
As unmated as you are , you would have tried to claim her for yourself even before I arose .
Daemonikai went on , unfazed .
Then , he raised his voice .
That girl saved me .
I was able to return from feral madness because of my Soulbond .
More shocked noises rippled through the crowd .
Emeriel whimpered , pressing closer to the grand kings back , as if seeking protection from the storm of attention .
She nourished me through bloodfeeding , satisfied my sexlust , and she did it all willingly .
She wished for me to live , worked hard for it , and for that , I am here today .
Vladya searched Daemonikais face .
His friend spoke with such conviction , yet had no memory of being feral .
Did he even realize just how true his words were ? This is too hard to believe , Zaiper spat , livid , and doing a poor job of hiding it .
Why ? Daemonikai cocked his head to the side .
If I did not know better , I would say you hate that my Soulbond is alive , have always hated it even before today .
It almost seems like you are dying to kill her even after all weve said .
Why , Zaiper ? Why are you so invested ? Do you hate me that much to kill my Soulbond for no reason ? It was a high accusation , one that could get Zaiper in serious troubles .
Everyone went dead silent again .
The high lords exchanged shocked glances .
All eyes rested on Zaiper , putting him on the spot like a sacrificial lamb .
What is it that you have against me , Zaiper ? It seemed like you werent too thrilled about my return .
With everything thats happening , I cant help but wonder why .
Daemonikai paused , eyes blazing .
Do you wish I had never come back ? Would you have preferred it if I had died ? No ! I have no ill will against you ! How c could you say that !? Zaiper eyes darted around nervously , seeking any sign of support .
Without a crime , I would never try to attack your Soulbond .
Yet we tell you now why she is without crime , so why do you still persist ? Daemonikai doubled down , taking a menacing step towards the second ruler .
Do not think I havent heard how you were most inclined to get rid of my feral beast .
From all I heard , you were pretty obsessed about it .
Tell me , Lord Zaiper , do you truly have no ill will against me ? Brutal .
When he wanted to be , the grand king could be absolutely merciless .
No !! Zaipers voice was a strangled cry , his eyes wide with panic The high lords watched him with growing suspicion , people staring at him with distrust .
Disgust , even .
Fine ! The girl has no crime , Zaiper surrendered , words forced out through clenched teeth .
I retract my statements .
There will be no executions , no dungeons .
Daemonikai whirled around , addressing the crowd .
My Soulbond just went through her first full heat .
She is completely exhausted and should not have to go through this .
I will take her inside now .
This gathering is dismissed .
He turned to a red faced , frozen Emeriel .
Follow me .
