Chapter 198 Chapter 198 GRAND LORD ZAIPER That will be all for today , Grand Lord Zaiper declared , rising from his throne .
The high lords scrambled to their feet , bowing deeply as he swept past .
Razarr fell into step beside him .
Your Majesty seems to be in a great mood today .
Oh , Razarr .
Every new day comes with its own brand of happiness , is what it is .
As they walked through the corridors of Greyrock , slaves scurried out of his path , eyes cast down , avoiding even the air around him .
They do not deserve to share the same space as him Grand Lord Zaiper .
A voice he knows all too well stopped him Turning with an exaggerated whirl of his robes , full smile plastered on his face .
If it isnt Lord Ottai .
Tell me , how are you , my dear friend ? The fourth rulers glare was coated with disgust .
I know what this is about , Zaiper crossed his arms smugly .
Go on , ask me .
I heard you ordered the execution of those men .
Is that true ? Ottai asked , furious .
Of course , it is .
They stole grain .
They deserved to die .
We do not kill over the crime of stealing .
What the hell is wrong with you ? Ottai hissed , stepping closer , his face inches from Zaipers .
We have punishments , atonement .
Death is not how we handle this ! Perhaps , before .
Zaiper conceded with a shrug .
But Im thinking of changing things around here .
Its attention that weve been far too kind .
e to my You cannot execute four of our people because they were hungry enough to steal grain for their families ! Ottais hotter .
One of them has a pregnant bondmate ! She needed food ! rage flared All excuses , Ottai , Zaiper barely suppresses a yawn .
We must send a message that famine is no excuse for theft .
Why face public humiliation in death when you could simply die from hunger ? The fourth ruler gave him a look of pure hatred and revulsion .
If they werent in such a public space , Zaiper had no doubt that grand lord would have thrown a punch .
All of this over four worthless nobodies ? Ottai is so boring .
The grand king would never have allowed this ! He spat .
The grand king hasnt been to court in over a year .
The grand king can barely pull himself out of his own head long enough to recognize reality .
He doesnt even know theres a critical famine in his kingdom .
Zaiper hated referring to his kingdom as Daemonikais , but he needed to make a point .
So do not stand there lecturing me on what the grand king would or wouldnt allow .
The male is half dead .
The living have to move on .
You speak with such callousness , words unbefitting of a ruler .
You have ruled beside Daemonikai for three thousand five hundred years .
You should be better than this .
Zaiper sucked teeth , waving Ottai off .
Oh , stop being so prim and proper , Ottai .
Its not a good look on you .

Never ! I Q If youd bothered to show up in court , you could have been part of the decision making .
All of this no , some of this- could have been said in court .
Instead , you waste your time out bere , lecturing me like a young lad .
His voice dropped an octave .
Maybe if you spent less time caring for two lost causes , you might actually make a difference .
+5 Ottais face twisted in fury .
You think I dont know what you are doing ? You think I dont see through your games ? You want the throne , Zaiper .
You want to be grand king .
Zaiper didnt bother correcting him .
He no longer aspired to be Grand King , his ambitions had grown , evolving into something far greater .
He now wanted it all .
To be the sole ruler .
The one to reshape Urai under his reign .
You think terrorizing our people , executing them over minor crimes like stealing grain or having a beastflare in public gatherings something beyond anyones control you think that is going to get you what you want ? These people fear you , Zaiper .
They will never support you .
They will never vote you in Ah , but thats the beauty of it , Lord Ottai , Zaiper smirked as he draped an arm around Ottais stiff shoulders , pulling him along .
Ottais entire body tensed at the contact , but he had little choice but to walk with him .
I do not need their votes .
Daemonikai is gone .
Dont get me started on Vladya .
And you ? You care more about them than you do your own people .
Im the only one left .
Ottai looked away , guilty .
The male looked more exhausted than Zaiper had ever seen him , beaten down by the weight of the past year .
So , tell me , Ottai , Zaiper pulled him a little closer .
Why would I need their vote , when I am all they l You disgust me .
eft ? Grinning , Zaiper released Ottai .
And you , dear Ottai , amuse me .
We both know this isnt where you want to be .
You should be off taking food to Vladya , perhaps ? Tending to your fallen friends like the dutiful little servant .
Go on , then .
Return to your duties and leave the running of the kingdom to me .
After all , there is no hand more capable than mine .
As Zaiper strode off , his laughter echoed behind him .
The fourth ruler had already lost the battle .
He had no cards to play , no weapons in his arsenal .
The kingdom was already Zaipers for the taking .
Nothing stood in his way .
Absolutely nothing .
YAZ Yaz laid out the feast before the cave mouth , as he usually did .
How is he ? Did you catch a glimpse of him ? The voice startled Yaz , and he whirled around , hand instinctively moving to his sword hilt .

Had his thoughts been so consuming that hed failed to notice being followed ? Lower your guard , Yaiz vlion .
I am not the enemy , the grand kings head soldier said , making no move to step closer .
Do not call me that , Yaz growled , casting one last towards the cave .
Then , he stalked towards Wegai , every sense alert .
What are you doing here ? It was reckless to follow me .
If Id sensed you in the woods , I would have nailed you .
Im well aware .
Which is why I was careful .
From a distance , they might seem like brothers .
Same height , same breadth , same warriors bearing .
Wegais scars were worn on his face from countless battles , while Yaz bore his , hidden beneath layers of armor and cloth .
Their masters shared a bond deeper than most , and while they had fought side by side in many wars , it did not make them friends just two head soldiers bound by duty .
Yaz relaxed his stance first .
What brings you here , Wegai ? I doubt you trailed me to make small talk .
No , I did not , Wegai began to walk , and Yaz fell into step beside him .
I spent all morning beside my master .
Wegais jaw clenched .
Hose him more with each passing day .
Yazs eyes flicked back to the cave .
His own master nestled in there .
Wegai stopped , abruptly .
We need to get the females back .
