The king summons you , my prince , One of them said .
Your presence is needed in the courtroom .
Shit .

That foolish minister wasted no time ratting on him .
Emeriel let the way to court .
Its just whipping , he will be fine .
BUZ as he walked down the hall towards the door , it was eerily quiet .
Something was wrong , The court was always noisy from the outside .
Mutterings , murmurs , arguments were always expected .
His worry deepened when the door opened , and all eyes didnt turn to gaze at him condescendingly .
Instead , everyones eyes were fixed at the center of the kings cour Emeriels eyes followed theirs .
Two men dressed in all white apparel robes , with long , straight , waist length black hair stood , appearing harmless .
But a longer glance had Emeriel noticing muscles barely concealed under their robes , their slightly tipped ears , and their incredibly unnaturally handsome faces that were completely unreadable .
He froze .
Urekai .
These ones looked expensive and aristocratic .
Emeriels throat went dry .
No one prays to meet a Urekai face to face .
What do you say , King Orestus ! the Urekai with the long star running from his cheek spoke .
He looked the most intimidating .
No , this cannot happen , King Orestus protested , looking terrified , and doing a poor job of hiding it .
The frown on Scarred Urekais face deepened .
Clearly , this was a being that did not take no for an answer.
You are mistaken if you think we are giving you a choice , human king , he said , taking a threatening step forward .
The ministers of the court gasped , shrinking back into their seats Easy , Lord Vladya , the other Urekai spoke , his voice gentler .
Imploring rather than commanding .
The scarred Urekai , Lord Vladya , gave the king a hard look that would make any man tremble .
It is the least you can do , human king .
Give us the princess , and we will leave quietly .
We are ready to pay for her , the other Urekai added , reaching into his robe and withdrawing a large bag of coins Fear receded .
The kings ears perked up with interest .
Money ? Not just money , there are gold coins too .
The non scarred Urekai said , Everyone gasped , including Emeriel .
Gold coins were rare and highly valuable .
1/3 15:34 Sat , Dec 28 Chapter 3 The Urekai continued , All you have to do is hand the princess over , and this bag is yours .
Wait … Princess ? They couldnt possibly mean …..
The grand entrance opened again as two guards led Aekeira into the court .
No , no , no , not sister .
my Emeriel moved forward , but the guards who had escorted him stopped his movement .
He bit his lip hard , trying not to draw attention to himself , but it was incredibly difficult .
Surely , this couldnt be what he thought it was .
It had to be a dream .
There was no way the Urekai were here to buy his sister as a slave … ! The two guards leading Ackeira to the center of the court , stopped a few feet from the Urekais .
The terror on Aekeiras face mirrored Emeriels feelings .
So, let me get this straight , King Orestus began , All I need to do is sell her to you , and all this money is mine ? There are no other conditions ? Nothing else ? Yes , the non scarred Urekai responded .
Lord Vladya moved forward , closing the distance between him and Aekeira , who was visibly shaking now .
Cupping Ackeiras cheek tilting her head to the side to get a better look .
He appeared utterly disgusted .
Shell do .
King Orestus picked up his gavel and struck it hard on his desk .
Sold ! From this moment on , Princess Ackeira belongs to the Urekais .
WHAT ? The shout escaped Emeriels lips before he could stop it He ran toward the center of the courtroom and fell to his knees .
Please dont sell my sister to them .
Not to the Urekais ! Please , Your Majesty .
The king gave him a bored look .
Its out of my hands now , Emenel Its out of his … Emeriel couldnt believe what he was hearing .
You cant let this happen , Shes your niece too ! How could you do this !? He wasnt proud his voice turned the high pitch of a girls , as he practically screamed .
But he didnt care You know a fate worse than death awaits her beyond the great mountain ! How could you agree to sell her to them ? As if he has a choice , Lord Vladya scoffed , his deep baritone filled with cynicism .
Emeriel whirled around to face them , anger blanketing his features .
But as he stared into those intimidating gray eyes, he couldnt bring himself to give in to his rage .
He had read in one of the books that an Urekai had the power to take a life without physical contact .
It might just be a ragior , but with his sisters life on the line , he had no intention of testing that theory .
I will go too .
Where Aekeira goes , I go .
Emeriel said , lifting his chin defiantly .
Sat , Dec 28 Chapter 3 Ackeira snapped her head toward Emeriel , her eyes widened in terror .
No ! What are you doing .
Em ? Im going with you , Emeriel stated firmly .
Lord Vladya arched a perfectly shaped brow .
No.
We have no need for you ; we only need your sister .
Emeriel stood .
I dont care .
Take me too .
If you leave me here , I will always try to come to her .
I will cross the great mountains if I have to ! Lord Vladya laughed .
There was no humor in the cold sound .
Without the rite of passage , the great mountain will swallow you whole .
Youll never make it to the other side .
Tll take my chances , Emeriel vowed .
No ! My brother is not coming , Aekeira interjected , before turning pleading eyes to Emeriel .
Dont do this , Em .
Im already doomed .
I dont want you to face the same fate ! If you come with us , you will be taken as our slave .
Lord Vladya stated , pinning Emeriel with a stare .
Urekai do not care if youre male or female ; you will serve in any way your master wants you .
Whether its in the mines or the cellar , on your back , bent over , or on your knees .
If you agree to be our slave too , your freewill ends today .
A shiver ran through Emeriels spine .
Do you know what it means to be an Urekais s slave , little human ? Youre a pretty boy , you will not lack masters to service Fear seeped through his core .
If everything he had heard growing up and read in books were true , being an Urekais slave was worse than being a humans slave .
And my dreams … 1 should be running in a different direction … ! But he steeled his spine .
Where my sister goes , I go We did not agree to get two slaves , the second Urekai said .
That is settled then , Lord Vladya continued as if he never spoke Reaching into his robe , the scarred Urekai pulled out another bag of coins , throwing both on the floor towards the king We will take both .
Sold ! King Orestus banged his gavel again .
