Chapter 241 Also , Ottai was utterly lost .
Flowing in the sea of confusion , kind of lost .
Uhmm , hello guys ? Im still here , he waved a hand to get their attention .
They turned in unison , eyes snapping to him .
Theyd forgotten he was even there , hadnt they ? You two could at least clue me in on this solution youre discussing , Ottai said dryly , curious .
0K 78 % No , Daemonikai said at the exact moment Vladya added , He plans to suck the poison out of her and take it into his own body .
What !? Ottai blanched , aghast .
But now that he thought about it , it made sense .
That explained Daemonikais sudden shift of mood .
He had gotten a solution , no matter how unconventional .
Ottai couldnt believe this .
Your woman and I did NOT go through the fires of hell and that damned cold sea to save you , just to watch you throw your life away like this ! Tell him , Ottai , Vladya encouraged , casting an approving glance .
Its human and mage toxin , not Urekai .
I can bear it until the antidote is found , he said firmly , folding his arms with that familiar haughty stance of a king .
Besides , everyone seems to forget : I have a strong resistance to many poisons .
Perhaps once you did , Vladya countered , sharply .
A fully recovered Grand King Daemonikai , yes .
Not the sick , weakened king , barely recovered from walking the very doors of death .
Let me do this .
Says the Grand Lord Vladya with one foot in madness land , Daemonikai shot back .
Both Vladya and Ottai gasped .
Vladyas jaw hung open in shock .
A low blow , ancient one .
But despite his words , a faint smile tugged at his lips .
Daemonikai was unapologetic .
And I can strike lower .
Oh , you- Vladya moved to grab him , clearly ready to brawl .
Ottai was struck by nostalgia , for a heartbeat The sight of them like this brought back memories of simpler times .
Seeing glimpses of their old selves .
The carefree camaraderie they had shared before tragedy struck Urai .
It was like a brief return to their carefree past .
Um … gentlemen , Aekeiras soft voice cut through .
They all paused , turning to see her standing before them .
She had left her sisters side , approached them , her face determined .
Someone teach me , she said in a steady voice .
I would like to suck the poison out myself .
Vladyas body went rigid .
Absolutely not .
Shes my sister- You will go NOWHERE near that poison , Vladya thundered , hi voice ringing with the authority of a grand lord 11:00 Tue , Feb 11 u B Chapter 241 Aekeiras eyes widened and she took a step back .
Ottai couldnt help his chuckle .
She likely hadnt heard that tone since her return .
0X78 % 0 I dont know , Vladya .
She does seem rather determined , The kings eyes gleamed with mischief .
Perhaps she would- Perhaps she would do nothing .
I am removing her from here , Stepping forward , Vladya took Aekeiras by the arm .
Do nothing reckless in my absence , old friend .
He cast a sidelong glance at Ottai .
And Ottai , ensure he does not go through with this .
The poison will eat away at his organs , Its too dangerous .
Hes not fully recovered enough for this .
With that , he led Aekeira out from the room .
Though led was generous , he all but dragged her out while she protested , digging her heels in .
Silence settled over the room .
Then , the grand kings green eyes pinned him , Do you believe you can stop me , Ottai ? Ottai rolled his eyes , a faint sigh escaping him .
As if anything I say will sway you .
Youve already made up your mind .

He shook his head .
Still , Id like you to reconsider .
Emeriel would not have wanted this .
Daemonikais gaze drifted to Emeriels still form .
So peaceful , so achingly beautiful , even as she lay there , slipping away .
Perhaps , he conceded .
But she has to be alive to decide what she wants or doesnt want .
And I intend to make that happen .
The earlier ease drained from him , as he growled .
I will not lose her too .
Id rather die than let that happen .
Ottai hid his surprise well .
I never thought Id hear you speak words like that … for her , he said genuinely .
Daemonikai managed a faint , wry smile .
Neither did I , Ottai .
He settled on the bed beside her , his hand gently brushing through het hair .
One never truly understands what they have until its almost lost , huh ? Ottai mumbled .
No , thats more fitting for Vladya and Aekeira .
He still looked at Emeriel , his eyes filled with a depth of feeling Ottai hadnt seen in years .
More like … one doesnt accept what they have unt theyve freed themselves from the burden of guilt , confronting the pain of their loss rather than hiding from it .
One must open their heart , no matter how empty it is , to truly feel something again .
lifted to meet Ottais .
The truth is , theres still a void in my heart , he revealed , Yet , I have never felt more alive His eyes These past few years , I was just going through the motions of living , methodically .
I have felt more whole these recent days than I have in so long .
Ottai was mesmerized .
Even without the bond ? Even without the bond , Daemonikai reiterated with a slow nod What does that tell you , Ottai ? That you genuinely care for her .
Ottai was touched , and it made him so emotional .
I never thought I would see this day again .
Im … truly glad for you , Your Grace .
Daemonikai looked down at her , the gentlest expression on his face .
I want to learn what it means to love again .
If the II allow it , if shell give us another chance , I hope to fill this hollow place within me … with feelings for her ? 11:00 Tue , Feb 11 BA Chapter 241 Have you told her that ? Ottal asked .
9K 78 % Daemonikai shook his head .
I havent had the chance .
So far , I havent been very lucky with talking to her .
Im not good with words .
His eyes drifted to the wound , shadowed and swollen .
But I want to relearn everything .
Start from the beginning , just for her .
I need her to live , Ottai .
I cannot bear to lose her too .
Then , the grand king lowered his head , pressing his lips to the wound , drawing the poison into himself .
Ottai watched as a dark stain spread across his cheek .
His face grew taut with pain , the poison seeping into him , his hand gripping the sheets so tightly his knuckles paled .
When he finally lifted his head , his face was white , a sheen of sweat dampening his brow .
I … I got it all , he rasped , his voice hoarse , eyes unfocused .
Now .
now she only needs to heal from the wound itself As he rose , his body swayed .
Ottai was instantly at his side .
Are you alright ? Daemonikai held up a hand , stopping him from offering support Just a little … unsteady .
The poison … it needs time to settle within me .
The door opened , and Vladya strode back in .
As his gaze landed on Daemonikais face , he hurried closer , lips pressed into a thin line .
He did it , didnt he ? I did , Daemonikai stated , faintly .
Ottai straightened , pulling away reluctantly .
Faiwick and his apprentice will set out at dawn , he said , resigned .
Ill go send word to Mysticaria , to expect our men .
Just … take care of him , Vladya .
Please .
You know I will .
Vladya deadpanned .
