Chapter 204 Chapter 204 No suitor had dared before .
Emeriel would have deflected with well placed shove , a swift punch or a biting retort .
But tonight , she felt raw , her defenses frayed .
The kiss was agony .
It was like a thousand tiny needles pricking her skin from every angle , her stomach churning with nausea .
68 % Memories of anothers lips , anothers touch , flooded her .
King Daemonikais deep kisses , the feel of his tongue against hers .
The recall assaulted Emeriels whole being .
Longing rose , clawing its way up from the pit of her stomach … No , no , no .
She tore her lips from his , stumbling back so fast she lost her footing , and fell hard onto the ground .
Are you alright ? Daviel reached for her , but she scrambled to her feet , moving backward to put as much distance between them as she could .
Im fine , she gasped , dusting off her garments with trembling hands , trying to keep the despair rising inside her at bay .
Lets call it a night , Prince Daviel .
But , Emeriel- Good night .
* She turned and walked away .
With each step , the despair crawled closer until it caught up with her , and washed over her entirely .
MISTRESS SINAI Mistress Sinai stormed into her quarters , seething .
A night spent in the dungeon , all because of that malnourished whore .
She needed to kill something .
Run me a bath this minute ! she barked , and her maidservants flinched .
Y your bath is ready , mistress , one of them stammered , barely able to meet Sinais eyes .
Shoving the maidservants aside , Sinai stripped out of her garments and slipped into the warm bath .
But even the soothing heat did nothing to calm her nerves .
That bitch had been lucky .
If theyd been placed in the same cell only one of them would have walked out alive .
You are the only mistress of your master , yet unwanted by him .
Two millennia together , and he never chose you .
He was Queen Evielyns from the start .
Even after her death , he does not look at you .
And now ? Now , he belongs solely to Emeriel .
Sinai clenched her fists .
Stupid bitch , what did she know ? Her Daemon wanted her 15:51 Sat , Jan 25 G.
Chapter 204 Her Daemon was hers .
Even Emericl had admitted as much when she fled Urai , tail tucked between her legs , never to return .
4.68 % 確 PRINCESS AEKEIRA Aekeira pushed open Emeriels door , the hinges creaking in the silence .
The room was cloaked in shadows , the only light filtering in from the window .
Emeriel lay beneath the covers , motionless in the darkness .
Are you asleep ? Aekeiras voice was tentative .
There was no response , but Aekeira walked deeper into the room anyway .
I know you are not , Em , she sat on the edge of the bed .
You have avoided me all day .
Still , no response .
The Urekai are in Merabis .
Three of them : Lord Ottai , Yaz , and Wegai .
Still , no response .
I know you do not want to know why theyre here , Em.
I understand .
Aekeiras gaze fixed on the wall ahead .
But I also know you .
And I know , deep down , you will regret this in the near future if they leave without an audience from you .
Nothing .
Not even a shift in the bedclothes .
If I was not sure , I would have let this go , Aekeiras tone lowered , taking on a pleading edge .
But I know you , Emeriel .
Beneath all this resolve created by pain , is an Em who still cares .
An Em whose world still revolves around her grand king .
He is not alright , Em .
Was she really asleep ? Do you know Lord Vladya managed to fight his feral for two long years ? A male who would have succumbed three years ago ? A wistful smile touched Aekeiras lips .
It warms my heart , knowing he held on that long .
Now , they need me to help him continue the fight .
And King Daemonikai- I do not wish to hear it , Emeriels voice finally came , barely audible .
Pleading .
-his soul is dying , Aekeira said anyway .
He hasnt been to court in over a year .
He spends every waking moment lost in his mind .
If this continues , you will lose him forever .
Emeriels body tensed beneath the covers , and Aekeira saw her fingers dig into her thigh .
Aekeira gently pulled back the covers , revealing Emeriels white knuckled grip .
Blood prickled where her sisters nails had pierced her skin .
Carefully , Aekeira pried her fingers loose , holding her hand in hers .
I know its not what you want .
I know , under all that , is an Em who feels better knowing her male is doing well at the other end of the world , even if theyre not together .
She squeezed Emeriels hand .
Can you tell that Em , her male is not okay ? 15:51 Sat , Jan 25 DG .
Chapter 204 I cant go back there , Emericl whispered .
I cant see him again I cant … I cant do it .
A shaky breath .
I dont want to .
Ackeira wanted to see her face , but Emeriel remained turned away , her back rigid .
The Emeriel I know is not a coward , Ackeira said .
The Emeric know faces her challenges , no matter how impossible they seem , instead of running from them .
What happened to that Em ? She was defeated .
In an even smaller , shuddering voice .
Oh , Em … No , she wasnt .
Shes still there , that much I know .
Aekeira stated firmly , tears pooling in her eyes .
Come to Urai with us , Em .
He saved your life too .
He not only forgave your deceit , but he also saved you , both in Urai and here in Navia .
Now , he needs you .
Rising to her feet , Aekeira released Emeriels hand .
Deep down , you know where you wish to be .
You know what your heart bleeds for .
If you had truly given up , truly moved on like you think , you would have stopped taking those godforsaken heat suppressants years ago , like you said you would .
Emeriels breath hitched .
But you didnt .

Aekeira lingered by the door .
Her voice dropped .
Because no matter what you tell yourself , a part of you … the part that loves her grand king above all else , still longs for her male .
Think about it , Em .
Aekeira closed the door softly behind her , leaving Emeriel alone in the darkness .
