Chapter 181 Chapter 181 Outal stopped mid step , his hand reaching out to grip Vladyas ann , and he leaned in closer , lowering his voice to a whisper .
Wait .
Was she the business he had to take care of for a few day ? The female in heat who imprinted on him ? Uh huh .
Vladyas eyes shifted toward Daemonikai , who walked ahead , his face stony and unflappable .
Ever since the gathering , Daemonikai had said little beyond what was necessary in court .
Shit .
How did that happen ? Ottai hissed , stealing glances at the grand king .
If he did not know she was a girl , how did they … how did they manage to spend her heat together ? Because no one meddles with those crazy bitches called fate .
Vlaya did not know all the details , but it seemed Daemonikai had met Emeriel under a different identity , not realizing who r what she truly was .
Even if Daemonikais side of the bond was dormant , -it would be fully awake now , Ottai murmured , more to himself than to Vladya .
Not only did they nurture it through the heat , but now he knows the truth .
Does this mean … hes going to be mated again ? Vladyas stare flicked toward Daemonikai again .
His old friends eyes darkened , but he gave no other reaction , remaining silent .
Thats enough , Ottai , Vladya muttered under his breath .
You can keep processing all of this , but keep it in your head , alright ? They had reached the entrance to the Court of Duty .
The grand doors swung open , revealing a hall packed with lords .
Vladya swore .
He had not seen this many lords gathered in one place in a long long time .
Had every lord in Uraie and beyond made the journey to witness the proceedings ? As they stepped inside , all eyes turned.toward them .
The lords rose in greeting , the atmosphere tense and crackling .
Zaiper was already seated , his face cold and calculating .
Vladya and Ottai moved forward , taking their respective seats .
As Vladya scanned the room , he sighed inwardly .
This was going to be a very , very long night .
EMERIEL In the days that followed , Emeriels world became smaller and smaller .

Her once spacious bedchamber now felt like a prison .
On the second day , soldiers had come to escort her back to her own room .
She hadnt been sure whether she was being protected or punished with house arrest like Mistress Sinai had been , but it didnt take long to figure it out .
The locked door and the ever watchful soldiers stationed outside her door confirmed her suspicions .
It was punishment , plain and simple .
She hadnt been thrown into The Hole or the dungeon , and that was supposed to offer her some comfort .
But the absence of chains around her wrists did nothing to ease the worry pressing down on her chest .
She had asked herself too many questions .
Was she being kept here to shield her from the wrath of the council , or was she a caged person awaiting judgment to decide her fate ? Wed Jan Chapter 181 The next day passed , much like the one before .
She paced the length of her chamber until the soles of her feet ached , read from dusty books she barely understood , and watched as the hours stretched without end .
Her anxiety grew , slowly swallowing her calm and logic .
By the fourth day , the isolation had worn her thin , and she felt sick to her core .
If tear ducts could dry up , Emeriels surely would have .
If crying could kill , she was sure she would have bex feet under , her grave cold as the air in this accursed room She had resolved to stop crying , to hold it all in .
But every time he gave in to overthinking , the floodgates burst anew .
The worst part was the silence .
Not a word from King Daemonikai .
No visits , no decrees , not even a passing message .
Each night , she lay awake, staring at the door .
Hoping he would come , praying for the sound of his footsteps .
Emeriel didnt care what his reaction would be anymore .
He could seold her , scream at her , even hurt her physically .
Anything was better than this suffocating quietness .
By the fifth day , Emeriel was stretched too thin , utterly exhausted and heartbroken .
Even Aekeira hadnt come .
Which meant she was ordered not to .
The isolation was truly her punishment , and if it was one given to break her spirit , it was working .
They might as well have thrown her into The Hole .
With only her spiraling thoughts and aggravating worries for company , Emeriel was slowly slipping further into insanity .
She had no idea what was happening beyond the walls of her imprisonment , and the not knowing was its own kind of torture .
Was the council still calling for her head ? Was there another punishment waiting for her ? Was Aekeira safe , or was she suffering now because of Emeriels actions ? What of Lord Herod ? Had he been implicated as well , punished because of her mistakes ? And how long would she be kept here ? Another day ? A week ? A month ? Two ? Just the thought made her world spin , making her lightheaded .
It hurt .
Seated at the small table in the corner of the room , Emeriel stared blankly at the plate of food before her .
The meal had been untouched since it arrived , as had the ones before it .
Her appetite had long since abandoned her .
Even the humans who brought her food wouldnt look at her , let alone speak .
The door creaked open .
She looked up , and there stood Grand Lord Vladya , staring at her .
Her breath caught in her throat as she scrambled to her feet .
Your Highness , her voice small .
Drained .
The door clicked shut behind him , as he walked into quiet room .
His eyes swept over her , his expression grim .
You have lost weight , he stated flatly .
Emeriel blinked , unsure of how to respond .
She fumbled for words .
I Im sorry .
VYOX , Jan 13 Chapter 481 Lord Vladya waved off her apology Sit down .
Eat .
She hesitated , but seeing the hard look , made her sink back into her chair .
Im not hungry I didnt ask if you were hungry Lord Vladyas tone was sharp as he took a seat across her .
I gave you an order .
Now , eat .
