Chapter 199 MISTRESS SINAI Mistress Sinai stood in Grand Lord Zaipers study , her fingers trailing lightly over the large desk covered with maps and scrolls as she waited .
The soft ticking of a grand clock in the corner caught her wandering eyes , then the bold paintings on the wall and the collection of ancient artifacts displayed in glass cases .
If it isnt our beautiful mistress , Lord Zaipers voice behind her shattered the quietude .
Plastering a practiced smile on her face , Sinai turned to face him .
Your highness .
To what do I owe this pleasant visit ? Zaiper stood before her , amused .
She batted her eyelashes .
Cant a female decide to visit her favorite ruler every once in a while ? His chuckle vibrated through the room .
I thought Daemonikai held that title ? He did , she shrugged , reaching for the wrapped offering shed dropped on his desk .
Lifting it , she presented it to him with a flourish .
I had my servants prepare your favorite meal .
I hope you like it .
Zaipers brows shot up in surprise .
A meal too ? He took the package , sniffed it appreciatively , then placed it back on his desk .
I hope all this is not about that land beyond Crystal Waters ? Does everyone already know about this ? Sinai huffed , sullen .
Yet , no one wants to let me have it .
Zaiper shook his head , moving to lean against his desk .
Thats because its between you and Daemonikai .
He promised it to you ; when the time is right , he will let you have it .
Its been six centuries ! Sinais voice rose in frustration .
She wanted to scream , to throw something .
Anything .
That land was her key to untold wealth and power .
Why wouldnt Daemonikai release it to her ? By now , she would have built an empire .
Perhaps even become the wealthiest mistress in the kingdom .
Surely you could release it to me ? I could .
But it wouldnt come easy .
Zaiper crossed his arms lazily .
Tell me , shouldnt you be more worried about Daemonikais well being now , instead of a mere piece of land ? He is a handful , losing himself to grief .
He is not the only one who lost loved ones that night .
Mmm .
Zaiper stroked his imaginary beards .
He is the only one that lost all at once , though .
Look at you , living your best life .
Sinai said bitterly .
What was supposed to be a little collateral damage turned out to be the biggest problem of mine .
Zaipers amusement vanished , and his face turned cold .
We swore never to bring that night up to life again .
His gray eyes were pools of black rage .
We vowed never to discuss it .
I apologize , your highness , Sinai backtracked .
Please , forgive me .
I spoke carelessly , without thought .

You do not wish to do it beyond the grave , do you ? Her blood froze .
Did he just threaten me ? You know what happens if what happened that night comes to light , do you not ? I do .
Sinai could not even bare to think about it .
Please , forgive me .
E Be careful next time , Sinai .
His words dripped with menace .
There are things that should remain buried .

Things that should never be spoken of ..
Fear chewed at her from the inside .
Fine , fine , I s said I was sorry .
+5 Zaiper stepped very close to her until only a breath separated them , and caressed her neck .
Then , his hand closed around it .
He didnt squeeze , but the pressure was unmistakable .
Vladya is gone .
Daemonikai will soon be gone too .
Ottai is merely a wind I could blow over , then I become the sole ruler .
A place where even the truth cannot hurt us , for Iould easily make it disappear .
We are almost at the end , Sinai .
Lets keep it that way .
I will , I will , she croaked , nodding .
Good .
He released her , his smile returning .
Now , lets talk about the price for that land .
YAZ Yaz said nothing .
He couldnt feign surprise .
The thought had tormented him for years .
But thinking it was one thing .
Acting on it was another .
We cannot do that , and you know it .
Lord Zaiper would never allow it .
Lord Zaiper does not need to know .
That in itself is preposterous , Yaz scoffed .
We cannot consider something of that magnitude without authorization .
The consequences would be- Lord Ottai , Wegai cut in .
He is still a ruler .
He can help .
Yaz had considered this too .
And if he does not ? We do it anyway .
Such a move is delicate .
Yaz said .
One wrong move , and were playing right into Lord Zaipers hands .
Hes been waiting for a reason to get rid of us .
Wegai stared at the distant mountains , their peaks covered in mist .
I cannot let this continue .
We lose them more every day .
Who am I kidding ? We have already lost them .
Now we grasp at straws .
Yaz didnt argue .
Wegai was right .
His master had fought valiantly , clinging to the promise hed made to the grand king .
Yaz had witnessed it all : the suffering , the resistance .

When the will to live flickers and dies life itself becomes a fragile , clusive thing .
His master , though not yet fully feral , was … not himself either .
They were better when the ladies were here , Wegai continued .
They might not have shown it , but our masters cared for the slave princesses .
They are an essential part of all of this .
We should have never let them send them away .
Yaz cast a sideways glance at him .
You say that as if we could have done anything about it .
You are forgetting something vital .
Those ladies were freed .
They are no longer slaves .
The first time they were brought here , they had no choice in the matter .
No human returns to Urai of their own free will , especially not ones who suffered as much as the slave princesses did .
Wegai fell silent , Your masters female had it worse , Yaz finally muttered .
During her last days here , our people tried to kill her .
Everyone hated her .
She had to be surrounded by troops to leave the city safely .
+5 That was two years ago .
Things are different now .
Our people have more to worry about , like their daily bread .
Wegai turned to face him .
We have to do this , Yaz .
We have to try .
Yes , all may not go well , there may challenges , but we do not run from fights .
He extended a hand .
What do you say , head soldier of Blackstone ? Are you in ? Yaz met his gaze , resolve in his eyes .
He clasped Wegais hand in a firm grip .
I am .
