Chapter 205 Chapter 205 MISTRESS SINAL 84 %% Sinai had always wanted two things in life .
To be rich and to be Grand Queen .
The first would come , sooner or later , but the second … the second was always slipping just out of her reach .
Some obstacle , always in her way , It infuriated her beyond reason .
Daemonikai was as stubborn as a mule , but as long as he was alive , he belonged to her .
Still , it wouldnt hurt to spread her wings a little .
To secure her future elsewhere .
Zaiper .
He was ambitious and dangerous .
No one outlived the repercussions of a dead soul , and If Daemonikai died , Sinai would ensure her place at the side of the next grand king .
She let the thought simmer , a slow smile curling her lips as she imagined Gailles reaction .
Oh , how delicious it would be .
But no .
She couldnt act on it yet .
Daemonikai had beaten feral once before , what if he fought through being soulless , too ? He was unpredictable , and Sinai wasnt foolish enough to gamble her future before she knew which way the wind would blow .
She would wait .
Whether Daemonikai lived or died , Sinai would be ready .
One way or another , she would claim what was rightfully hers .
She would be Grand Queen .
PRINCESS AEKEIRA Are you sure the princess will come ? Yaz asked as they stood ready , bags packed and horses saddled for the journey ahead .
Aekeira glanced at the door for what felt like the hundredth time and admitted honestly .
Im not .
Lord Ottai had been unusually quiet , lost in thought .
Beside him , Wegai looked at her .
And you ? How are you holding up ? Aekeira shook her head .
Not well .
I do not want to do this without Em .
I cant bear the thought of leaving her here , separated from her again- Her words faltered as she caught sight of Lord Ottai , his gaze pointed on the doorway behind her .
Aekeira turned to see Emeriel step through the open door .
The two head soldiers straightened while Lord Ottai moved forward to meet her .
They stopped in the middle of the room , a respectful distance between them .
12:36 Sun , Jan 26 G Chapter 205 Your people hate me , Emeriel spoke in a low , resigned tone .
I wont last two days back there 84 % We will protect you , Wegai vowed , bowing deeply .
Yaz nodded in agreement .
From now on , we will protect you both , as we do our masters .
You do not have to do this , Lord Ottai said , surprising them all I realize now that we have no right to ask this of you .
When Daemonikai set you both free , he wanted you to have the freedom of choice .
We cant force you , nor would we .
Emeriel squared her shoulders .
I want to do this , Lord Ottai .
I wouldnt be here otherwise .
Her eyes were steady as they met the grand lord .
But I have conditions .
What are they ? I will not live in the shadows anymore .
I will not hide .
I dress as a woman , as a princess , as I am .
As you should , Lord Ottai agreed .
You are not slaves of Urai anymore , Emeriel .
You are guests .
I already made arrangements to assign maidservants to both you and Aekeira .
And when all this is over , I want you to bring me back here .
she didnt miss a beat .
When the grand king has recovered fully , I return to Navia .
The grand lord studied her , searching her eyes .
At last , he gave a solemn nod .
You have my word .
Whether you can help him or not , if it becomes too much , you need only say the word , and I will take you away from Urai .
Emeriel held his gaze .
I will go prepare .
And then she was gone .
Their carriage rolled through the Ravenshadow gates early , the first to arrive .
The second carriage , carrying Lord Ottai , Yaz , and Wegai , was nowhere in sight yet , but Aekeira knew they werent far behind .
As the horses came to a stop , she stepped out into the cool evening air , taking in the sight of the fortress before them .
Ravenshadow hadnt changed much in the past two years .
Memories came flooding back .
The endless errands , the constant toil to avoid the slavemasters whips , the ceaseless fear and pressure , the sleepless nights .
For a moment , it was as though no time had passed .
But it had .
Aekeira stood her now , not as a slave in uniform but as a princess .
Beside her , Emeriel , dressed in even more extravagant royal attire , stood rigid , her gaze on the fortress .
Her eyes … Are you alright , Em ? Aekeira asked .
Emeriel blinked , the naked pain in her eyes replaced by aloofness .
Im good .
Their presence had drawn attention .
The Urekai people had abandoned their tasks , turning their eyes toward them .
Murmurs rose like a tide .

12:36 Sun , Jan 26 GT Chapter 205 Ackeira straightened her shoulders and lifted her chin , meeting their stares head on .
We had done nothing wrong .
What are you staring at ? Emeriel snapped , fearless , as she glared at the onlookers .
Em , Aekeira tugged at her sisters sleeve .
Do not openly antagonize them .
Emeriel shot her an incredulous , are you out of your mind look .
Why not ? Im not afraid of them anymore .
She raised her voice , clear and strong .
Im not afraid of any of you anymore .
An Urekai female stepped forward .
Emeriel stiffened , preparing for their hostility .
But the female teared up .
Please give him back to us , I beg of you ! Another followed , taking Emeriels stiff hand in hers .
Forgive us , human princess .
Please … help our grand king .

Instead , there were only tears , begging them for help .
