Chapter 187 Chapter 187 GRAND LORD VLADYA 72 % Since Grand Lord Vladya had promised Daemonikai he would fight his madness , he had taken up running to release pent- up energy , to find some semblance of relaxation .
The voices in his head were quieter , as they had been for the past few days .
Less distracting , his thoughts remained clearer .
The librarian had even brought every book , every record on feral conditions into his chambers , and Vladya had poured over them , garnering knowledge he might not already possess .
At dawn , after a long run through the woods , his body felt refreshed as he made his way to his chambers , only to pause at the familiar scent lingering in the air .
If Yaz hadnt alerted him to Daemonikais presence , the smell of his friend would have .
sitting at Vladyas desk , his head bowed , fingers drumming rhythmically against the Daemonikai was already in his study wood .
Come on in , make yourself at ho adva said sarcastically as he stepped inside .
Daemonikai did not respond .
Not that Vladya expected him to .
He had been worried about his friend these past few days .
Hey … Vladya approached , moving to stand in front of him , leaning casually against the table .
How are you holding up ? You smell like her , so I take it you finally paid her a visit .
You knew all about this and hid it from me .
It was not a question .

Vladya had known this would come sooner or later .
I wished to hide it for as long as possible .
That was why I placed her on suppressants , he confessed .
I know I should not have done that but I could not think of how else to protect you .
And her .
And her , Vladya confirmed , shrugging .
I have a soft spot for the girl .
Im going to let her go .
Vladya nodded .
I already figured that No.
His drumming fingers stilled .
Im going to let her go .
Oh .
Vladya hadnt foreseen that .
In fact , he had not even considered it .
From slavery ? he asked , more carefully this time .
From Urai ? Daemonikai finally lifted his head , meeting his eyes .
They didnt physically age , but in that moment , Daemonikai looked every bit his age .
His usually immaculate hair was in disarray , as if hed run his hands through it countless times .
His eyes were tired , sad , but filled with resolve .
Yes .
Vladya studied him .

Chapter 187 72 % Despite Vladyas verbal protests in the past , deep down he knew Emeriel had brought something good into Daemonikais life .
She was helping him heal , whether he admitted it or not .
Daemonikai was not doing as well as everyone believed .
He had not taken the loss of his family as gracefully as he made others think , and Vladya , for all his hatred toward fates cruelty , ouldnt deny that Emeriel was a balm to some of that pain .
And now , Daemonikai wanted to let her go .
I am sure , Daemonikai stated , staring blankly at the wall behind Vladya .
I will start the process today in court .
In a few days , it should be ready to go public .
Alright .
If you are sure .
I was never the only one thrown into this .
Daemonikais hand dragged through his disheveled hair again .
Shes barely twenty one years old , and shes been through hell .
That girl has never had a choice , Vladya .
She lived her life as a male , was sold into slavery , forced to become a Syren , and then a Soulbond .
She has been trapped her entire life .
He shook his head .
Im going to set her free and send her home .
Not just for me … but for her , too .
She deserves to live her own life , finally to make her own choices .
I figured you should know .
Okay … but why ? You do not need my approval to make decisions like that .
You know I will always support you in court .
Thats not why , Daemonikai paused , letting the silence stretch between them .
Its about her sister .
Vladyas expression smoothed out instantly , becoming unreadable .
Oh .
From everything I have heard , those two are inseparable .
One is never truly happy without the other .
I cannot set one free and leave the other behind , the grand kings voice was quieter now .
I know how much you care for her .
Dont deny it Im not a fool .
You are attracted to her .
Aekeira belongs to you .
Vladya opened his mouth to speak , but Daemonikai continued before he could get a word in .
Now , its up to you .
If you want her here , she stays .
If not … then lets set them both free .
Quietness fell over the room .
Vladya averted his eyes , the weight of the decision pressing heavily on his shoulders .
Daemonikai stood .
I will give you time to think about it .
Let me know your decision later .
Without another word , the grand king left the room , and Vladya was alone .
The next evening , Vladya waited , trying to suppress the strain inside him as Daemonikai and the others participated in the clans monthly hunt .
While the Frostfall people celebrated their success with feasting and drinking , their leader had quietly slipped away , retreating into his bedchambers .
Vladya followed .
Opening the door , Vladya stepped inside , stopping just past the entrance .
Daemonikai was at the center of the room , his eyes already on him , assessing , waiting .
Vladya leaned against the wall , arms crossed , his jaw still aching from clenching it all day .
Let her go too , Vladya said at last .
Daemonikai said nothing , still observing him with that acute gaze of his .
Are you sure ? 13:08 Sat , Jan 18 BB .
Chapter 187 Vladya nodded .
Yes .
072 % 0 You must care about this girl more than I thought .
Daemonikas eyes narrowed slightly , curiosity flickering .
You , V.D.
, a selfish bastard who takes whatever he wants , regardless of the consequences , are making a selfless decision ? That managed to draw a chuckle from Vladya , but it was dry at best .
You know you do not have to do this , right ? The grand kings tone softened .
If you wish for her to stay , she remains .
It was never going to work , Vladya spoke the words aloud for the first time .
She is human .
Daemonikai shook his head .
Vladya , that girl was willing to be mounted by you the other day while you were half insane- No.
Vladya gave another shake of his own head .
Thats not what I mean .
Its not about me hating their kind.
Shes not Syren , Daemon .
Theres no future to this .
None at all .
