Chapter 206 Chapter 206 PRINCESS EMERIEL Emeriel was speechless , and it showed .
Every part of her arms was taken , held by Urekai hands , yet none of them made any move to harm her .
84 % Two years ago , these same people placed bets on who would be quick enough to kill her .
Now , their touch was gentle , as if she were made of delicate glass they feared might shatter beneath their fingers .
These proud beings , who held themselves superior to humans and all other species , were now begging her , imploring her for help .
Tension bled from Emeriel , replaced by something far more unsettling .
Fear .
For the first time in a long , long while , it crawled up her spine , chilling her blood .
How gravely ill was her beloved ? No , no , no .
Dont do that .
Hes no longer your beloved .
He was never yours .
Think of him only as their grand king .
How ill was their grand king , for them to cast aside their hatred for humans and beg for her help ? Emeriel had spent years blocking their bond , fighting against it .
And when it had gone completely silent years ago , shed felt relieved .
That battle , at least , was over .
But it was his dying soul , wasnt it ? The bond hadnt gone dormant , waiting to be triggered .
It had weakened .
Fading .
Dying .
Out of the way , everyone , Lord Ottais commanding voice cut through the crowd .
Wegai appeared at Emeriels side as the crowd parted .
We will escort both of you inside .
Wegai led Emeriel , while Yaz guided Aekeira .
Inside , they stopped at the intersection of passageways .
Your old rooms in Blackstone have been prepared for you , Aekeira .
But Ill have a room made ready for you , Emeriel , in Frostfall , near the grand kings chambers .
Lord Ottai said .
Rest assured , no harm will come to either of you within these walls .
Ive assigned my most trusted soldiers to keep watch .
Its been a long journey for all of us .
We will rest tonight .
Tomorrow is a new day.
At midnight , while the rest of Ravenshadow slept , Emeriel stood alone in the corridor outside her chambers , staring into the darkness , letting the silence wrap around her .
How sick was he ? Emeriel hated how much it bothered her .
She had worked so hard to rid herself of feelings like this .
Submerged them deep until she was numb to them .
But now , here they were , creeping back to the frontline like traitors in the night , robbing her of sleep .
She was back in this accursed place .
The source of so much pain and yet it still felt like home .
Her shoulders lifted in a deep breath and fell .
What could she even do for him ? What if she could not help him ? 12:36 Sun , Jan 26 • G Chapter 206 The night crawled by .
She stayed until her legs arched .

What would tomorrow bring ? 84 % Eventually , when her legs could no longer bear the weight of her thoughts , she turned back into her room .
Lying on the bed , she stared blankly at the ceiling .
That was the moment realization hit Emeriel with the force of a loaded carriage .
Something crucial , she had forgotten to pack for this journey .
My heat suppressants ! Eineriel sprang from the bed .
Cold sweat broke across her skin .
How could she have forgotten to pack the most important thing What if she went into heat ? Her throat seized , and panic came .
She did not want to go through that , not here , not now .
If she could help it , not ever again .
What if the grand king triggered her heat ? Dread settled like rocks in her chest .
Emeriel gripped the sheets , forcing herself to stay calm .
To breathe .
Its alright .
You have never missed a dose in two years .
Surely one or two missed doses will not hurt , right ? Besides , he cannot trigger your heat from a deathbed , and once he recovers , you will leave Navia with the speed of thunder .
You will be fine .
You will be fine .
She repeated it to herself , over and over again .
Slowly , her pulse steadied .
Wiping her sweaty brow , she lay back down .
She would be fine .
The passage of time went unnoticed as her mind drifted far , far away .
Only as the first light of dawn edged through the window did her eyes finally close in sleep .
IN THE SPIRIT REALM The river was peaceful .
Tranquil .
Grand King Daemonikai sat cross legged on the sandy shore , surrounded by the soft murmur of water and the breath of life .
This place was quickly becoming one of his favorites .
Peaceful .
Translucent .
Oh , if it isnt my bondmate , running from reality .
He turned his head , and there she was .
Evie .
His beautiful bondmate , her smile as warm as ever .
