Emeriel crossed her arms .
Its only been three years , but surely old age hasnt made the tyrant king forget how to string those words together .
Go ahead , order The silence was as loud as a trumpet .
At last , King Orestus sighed , and rose from his seat , walking to a shelf laden with scrolls .
He withdrew two , each decorated with intricate gold patterns on the rods at their ends .
The sigil … It was unmistakable .
Existed only in one place .
Aekeiras heart lurched .
Even Emeriel froze still as a statue .
I received these the night before your return , King Orestus said calmly .

You will shelter and protect the two females whom we return to you on the morrow , with everything you hold dear .
Since I awoke from five hundred years of madness , one brought on by your people , I have had one thought and one thought alone .
To descend upon the human lands like a storm of ruin .
I still consider it , to be quite honest .
But do not give me another reason to believe it is a good idea , for let me tell you , King Orestus , I am running out of excuses not to declare war on the trans .

Your mountains will crumble under our number .
Your rivers will run dry beneath the stomps of our boots.
Your cities will burn .
Your fields will wither under fire and ash ..
The screams of your people will be the chorus that heralds your kingdoms fall .
Not a single stone of your citadel will remain unscorched .

By the hand of Daemonikai Vipertheriov Naelzharoth , Grand King of Urai .
King Orestus lowered the scroll , his face drained of color .
Aekeira had sunk into one of the empty chairs during the reading , her shaky legs unable to hold her any longer .
Emeriel sat beside her , just as still .
It has been two years since I received this , King Orestus said in a strained voice as he carefully placed the letters back on the shelf .
Not once have I had a good nights sleep since then .
Turning toward them , his gaze was sharp , searching .
I have asked myself over and over : How on earth did these females , sold as slaves , garner the favor of the two most powerful Urekai that ever existed ? How did they become treasures of Urai to the extent that I receive personal letters from their rulers ? Aekeira glanced at Emeriel .
Her sisters face was ashen , paler even than King Orestuss , staring ahead , into nothingness .
She didnt blink .
She didnt move .
They signed their full names , King Orestus added .
Do you understand what that means ? As a young lad , my father told me , that in Urekai history , their full names are considered sacred .
They are not spoken aloud unless under the gravest of circumstances or to convey a serious message .
And here , he gestured toward the shelf , they not only sent separate letters , they signed them with their full names .
They sent letters for us .
Sent them , before our return .
Why hadnt Aekeira thought of it before ? Of all the reasons she imagined for King Orestuss change , this had never crossed her mind .
I want to send you both to the breeding houses .
His voice hardened .
But there is nothing I want more than to punish you , Emeriel , for your web of deceit in this kingdom .
Living disguised as a boy when you are , in fact , a girl ? he spat , voice rising , making Aekeira flinch .
I wish I could nail you to that cross outside ! 14:15 Wed , Jan 22 GR .
Chapter 197 Aekeiras breath caught , and Emeriel tense beside her , but neither spoke .
75 % King Orestuss chest heaved .
But I cannot .
You asked why I treat you as I do ? Those letters are why .
I may not care about many things these days , but I care about my son .
Some might argue that I dont care about my people , but I do .
And I know what will happen if I defy those letters .
He turned his full attention to Emeriel .
Anything else you wish to say , Princess Emeriel ? Emeriel merely rose and walked away .
