Chapter 211 Chapter 211 Emeriels breathing quickened in the silent room as her eyes drank him in .
Ravenously devouring every detail of him .
Control yourself , Emeriel .
There was no bond to blame now .
This is all you .
Have some restraint .
Easier said than done .
She was grateful to be alone with him .
No one could see how hard she struggled .
How difficult it was to be in the same room with him again .
The effort it took not to rush across the room and collapse on top of him , just to feel his body against hers one more time .
The memories were the hardest .
Those stolen nights in his arms , tucked away at the cottage , making love after love .
The fog of heat and the passage of time had blurred the memories , and she had survived by blocking them .
But now , here in this room with him , the years shrunk and disappeared , and it felt like yesterday .
The memories that had once been hazy were suddenly vivid , flashing very clearly .
Emeriels whole body shook .
She stumbled back out of the room , closing the door behind her .
Leaning against it , she gasped for breath .
Her knees weak , her heart too fragile .
It was easier to fight for control when he wasnt in sight .
You are stronger than this , Emeriel .
Get a hold of yourself .
It took a while , but finally , she felt calmer .
Composed , she re entered the room and sat on the chair beside his bed , waiting / until the tight constriction in her chest loosened .
Until breathing became less of a struggle .
My king , Emeriel whispered .
Hello , my king .
Taking his hand in hers , she gave it a light squeeze .
His feverish skin burned against her palm .
How have you been ? Where are you ? If you can hear me , come back .
Your people need you .
Once she started speaking , it became easier .
The tight coil in her chest began to unwind .
Very soon , the eclipse moon night will be here again .
They are terrified to face it alone .
There is a famine , and the younglings are starving .
They looked at me me , a human with hunger in their eyes , instead of disdain .
Can you imagine that ? Clinging to his hand , the heat seeped into her skin .
Too hot .
She rose from her chair , fetching the basin of chilled water and washcloth .
Returning to his side , she dipped the cloth into the water , wiping his face .
You are not leaving them in good hands , my king .
Lord Zaiperis eager to rule , but he does not care about the people .
Not like you do .
They need you .
They always need you .
Her hand moved from his brow to his neck .
His body radiated a hotness that seemed to climb higher with every passing 1/3 13:59 Tue , Jan 28 Chapter 211 second .
Peeling back the bedding to wash his body , Emeriel gasped .
| 6 、 ཊཱི , 69 % ° +5 His left arm was covered in dark lines , like cracks filled with blackened blood , trailing upwards and disappearing beneath his sleeping clothes .
With unsteady hands , Emeriel lifted his garment , following the grim path , tracing it back to his chest .
The thickest , blackest lines pulsed from the center of his chest .
His soul was truly dying .
Oh , my beloved , Emeriel whispered , shakily as she stared at the mark of his slow death .
Her fingers traced the darkened veins , her forehead dropped to his chest .
How could you let grief get you to this extent ? You cannot leave like this .
IN THE SPIRIT REALM .
Our children wont talk to me .
Evie squeezed Daemonikais hand , offering comfort .
They were walking hand in hand along the beach , the soft rhythm of the ocean waves lapping at the shore .
Myka too ? Yes .

Daemonikai sighed .
I found him earlier , but he wouldnt say a word .
Just … vanished .
Its disheartening .
I know .
We may not remember the moment of our deaths no dead person does- but we do have some knowledge about the circumstances surrounding them .
Myka feels guilty for failing to protect me .
And Alvin , for bringing this upon our people .
For failing you .
Evie said sadly .
I dont think he will ever forgive himself .
I wish I could tell them I forgive them , Daemonikai said bitterly .
I wish I could make them see that none of this is their fault .
Its me who should carry that burden , not them .
Every time he got close to either of them , their eyes would wide at the sight of him , and they would disappear , like wisps of smoke caught in the wind .
Hours later , they would reappear on a different part of the endless shore , and the search would begin anew .
I wish I could at least talk to them , he muttered .
But they won let me .
I have so much to say .
I know .
Evie rubbed his arm soothingly .
I know , my love .
They walked in silence for a while .
The only sounds were the cries of gulls and the ceaseless roar of the ocean .
Oh , my beloved .
They both stopped , their heads snapping up .
Daemonikais brows furrowed as he scanned their surroundings Did you hear that? .
I did .
Evie was staring at him with soft eyes .
Did you ? 13:59 Tue , Jan 28 E Chapter 211 He nodded slowly .
But … you didnt call me .
No.
She did .
The female who is the real reason you are here .
Daemonikai frowned .
Youre confusing me again .
Im here because of you .
No , my love .
You are lost to the realm of the living because the one thing that should anchor you there your soul- is dying .
And so , your spirit wanders , into the otherside .
Drawn to this place , the Dead Oceans .
Daemonikais gaze swept across , taking in the vast expanse of water and sky .
So thats where we are .
Yes .
Every soul on the verge of passing experiences this .
Their spirit wanders into the otherside , seeking joy and peace , finding it in the places they yearn for most .
Your departed loved ones can sense your presence .
They choose whether to come and keep you company .
69 % Huh .
Thats something they never taught us in those Dead and the Living study sessions .
Daemonikai smiled .
So you are keeping me company ? Yes , I am .
Our sons , too , Evie returned his smile and continued walking , pulling him gently along with her But whenever you seek them out , they retreat .
Daemonikais smile faded as he followed .
But why ? Come back , beloved .
That voice again .
It went through his entire being , spreading like the finest wine .
That wasnt you .
Her head moved from side to side .
You know who .
Its not possible .
His jaw tight , he looked away .
She is far , far away .
I dont think so .
For her voice to pierce the veil between worlds and reach you here , she must be in Urai , close to your physical body .
Evie countered , her lips curving into a subtle smile .
Shes the first to find you , even here .
