Chapter 207 GRAND LORD OTTAI 日 家 84 % 會 +13 ) He stood by the door , staring at Daemonikais unmoving body sprawled across the bed .
The grand king looked almost lifeless , his pallor stark against the dark sheets .
The only sign of life was the faint , barely perceptible rise and fall of his chest .
So subtle that one would have to get close to see it .
His breathing had slowed even more over the past few weeks , each breath coming longer between the last .
Shallower than what was normal for any living being .

The Urekai guard on duty , offered a respectful greeting , while Livia , who had been tending to Daemonikai with cold compresses to regulate his burning fever , rose and bowed deeply How is he ? Ottai asked , moving further into the room .
Still refusing food , your highness .
No sign of waking in the past four days .
The head maid replied .
The longest stretch yet .
A week without sustenance , and four days without opening his eyes .
Typically , he would awaken every other day , staying conscious for a brief thirty minutes before slipping back into unconsciousness .
Now , his slumber grew longer .
Deeper .
His temperature ? Ottai asked , his eyes briefly scanning the untouched feast .
Ive kept it regulated as best I can , but its barely holding , Livia looked at the grand kings feverish face .
Hes heating up faster .
Ottai gave a small nod .
Thank you , Livia .
You are one of the few humans I can trust with him .
Youve done well .
Its an honor , my lord .
She hesitated .
Was your trip successful ? Yes , Lord Ottais lips curved into a faint smile .
They are back in Urai .
The older woman beamed .
Thats a relief .
It is .
You have been here all day .
Go and get some rest , Livia .
She summoned the maids , who swiftly packed away the untouched platters of food .
With an incline of their heads , Livia and the guard departed with them .
Ottai took a seat beside Daemonikai in the stifling quiet .
I know wherever you have retreated must be far more appealing than reality , Daemon .
Perhaps thats why I cannot judge you too harshly .
Ottai said , his eyes on the still form .
But this place you have hidden yourself in its not real .
The eclipse moon night is nearly upon us once again .
We cannot do this without you .
Your people need you .
I need you .
A tight knot formed in his chest .
Please , come back before you are lost to us forever .
Quai hoped against hope that something anything would stir in the grand king .

No change .
Nothing .
84 % +131 MISTRESS SINAI She stormed down the hall , her shoulders trembling with the force of her fury .
Why was Ukrae suddenly determined to make her life a living hell ? Why were the fates conspiring against her , snatching away her hard won peace ? What had she done to deserve this torment ? Emeriel is back .
Emeriel dared to return ! Two years of peace shattered by a mere fly she could swat away .
One she should have squashed years ago .
Sinai rounded a corner , and there she was .
The mistress gasped , coming to an abrupt stop .
Had she not been looking so fervently , she might have passed without realizing the lady before her was Emeriel .
The transformation was staggering .
So much so it left Sinais jaw on the floor .
Gone were the rough male slave uniforms .
In their place was an elaborately designed gown , adorned with intricate stones and diamonds that shimmered with every movement .
Her hair , once pulled into a tight bun , now cascaded down her back like a black waterfall , decorated with glittering stones and delicate lace that caught the light .
Stunning .
Commanding .
This was a far cry from the meek , little male slave who had always tried to blend into the background .
This Emeriel commanded attention .
Her presence radiated an aura of power and authority .
Confidence .
She walked with her shoulders high , her head held even higher , as if she owned the very fortress itself .
Behind her , Wegai stood in his brooding , protective glory , along with two other soldiers .
Sinai .
Hated .
Her .
So.
Much .
Emeriels steps faltered when she saw Sinai , and that , at least , brought satisfaction to the mistress .
Yes , little bunny , be afraid .
You have every reason to be .
But Emeriel showed no fear .
Her face remained indifferent as she resumed her pace , heading straight toward Sinai .

Chapter 207 2.0468 Look what the cat dragged back in , Sinai sneered .
Its the filthy slave .
The lying , deceitful slaw How dare you show your face here again ? Its a wonder no one has put two claws through your eyes by now .
Emeriel stopped beside her .
Slowly , she turned her head to the side , meeting Sinais gaze with a cold , condescending look .
Her eyes flicked over Sinai from head to toe , dismissing her as though she were nothing more than a bothersome fly not even worth swatting , and continued on her way .
No words were said to Sinai .
No acknowledgment .
Nothing .
Emeriel merely eyed her , and kept walking .
What the hell ? The mistress scoffed , stunned .
Did Emeriel just … dismiss me ? She had .
Emeriel had looked at her , looked through her , and decided Sinai was not worth her time .
And it enraged Sinai to the core .
She lunged , grabbed a fistful of Emeriels hair , and yanked .
Fulfillment flooding her when she heard the other woman yelp in surprise .
Finally , a reaction .
But before she could savor the moment , Wegai stepped in , gripping Sinais wrist firmly .
How dare you walk away while Im speaking to you !? Sinai shrieked in rage as Wegai carefully disentangled Emeriels hair from her fingers .
You dare to dismiss me !? Emeriel smoothed her hair , composed .
Her expression remained infuriatingly calm .
Sinai seethed .
Where did this newfound poise come from ? Where was the fear ? Where was the cowering ? Had this girl spent so much time with Daemonikai that shed adopted this annoying , imperturbable behavior of his ? Her fury burned hotter .
You think because youre no longer a slave you have the right to waltz around here dressed like that ? You are no better than the rats that scamper in the sewers ! How dare you come back here ? Wegai moved , but Emeriel signaled him not to .
Instead , Emeriel stepped closer….
into Sinais personal space , and met Sinais gaze with cool detachment .
You have not changed , mistress .
You are still the same loud , and annoying woman who sticks herself where she has no right to be .
Emeriel said .
Sinais nostrils flared .
What did she just say to me ? What did you just say to me !? I dont answer to you .
Not now , not ever .
Emeriel continued in a steady , completely unbothered tone .
And I would appreciate it if you kept your hands off me .
Have you LOST YOUR MIND Sinai screamed .

Emeriel merely said .
You stay out of my way , and Ill stay out of your Keep your hands off me , mistress .
Im not here for drama .
Sinai was too dumbfounded to speak .
Emeriel squared her shoulders , staring Sinai down .
I hope we do not run into each other in the future , Mistress .
Then , she whirled around and walked away .
