Chapter 37 Yaz , he finally managed to utter when he found his voice .
His trusted soldier emerged from the corner .
Yes , Your Highnes Did all the guards on duty leave when you gave the command for them to vacate the premises ? Yes , my lord , I was the last to leage .
Vladyas gaze wandered , taking in other details .
The surroundings appeared cleaner .
The paintings seemed freshly acquired .
The walls gleamed as if they were new , and even the sculpted lion head sparkled , They assigned a slave to work here .
Seems like it , Yaz confirmed .
This place looks astonishing .
Almost like the old days … He trailed off abruptly , no doubt realizing the inadvisability of his words .
No one with wisdom would dare speak of the old days , especially not to Grand Lord Vladya .
I beg your forgiveness for my wayward tongue , my lord Lord Vladya waved him off , his mind preoccupied .
He had personally dismissed all the slaves who used to tend to the Abyss land , not because he enjoyed the accumulation of dust , but because , for some inexplicable reason , Daemonikais beast would grow highly agitated in their presence .
The feral creature had broken free on numerous occasions , tearing several slaves apart .
Since then , he had decided it was best to cease any work in this area .
Though it had been several years three or four , he had lost track He was utterly baffled .
Someone had labored here for hours , thoroughly cleaning , and had managed to avoid being torn apart by the beast .
And the creature had accepted food from this person .
I want to know the identity of the slave who worked here .
Gather all the necessary information on this slave and bring it to me .
I desire the details upon my return from the hunting trip .
Yes , my Lord .
With a mix of astonishment and relief , Vladya departed , his mood somewhat improved .
EMERIEL The night prior to the introduction , Emeriel having finished his work in the minefield waited in the shadows concealed from sight in the woods , his back pressed against a tree , casting his gaze upon the river .
He longed to take a bath , but he needed everyone to depart first , Given that the fortress housed numerous slaves with only one river allocated for their ablutions , there was always a slave or two present at any given time of the day .
Leading most slaves to pay little heed to privacy , joining others in the river , attending to their own needs .

Usually , Emeriel waited until nighttime or even midnight to secure the river for himself .
Yet , tonight proved particularly challenging , for news of the impending introduction of slaves had reached everyone .
His heart skipped a beat at the reminder .
Emeriel had yet to recover from hearing the announcement the day before .
Observing the excited commotion of the bathing slaves , he found , unlike him , most seemed elated about the introduction .
Emreiel thought back on what Martha , one of the slaves he worked alongside in the minefield , had said earlier in the day as they worked .
his If you capture the attention of a lord , he may issue a decree to purchase you , do you not know ? He could make you personal slave .
No more arduous labor , no more harsh beatings .
You would be elegantly dressed like a mistress and solely serve a lord ! Oh , how I yearn for a lord to choose me ! Emeriel pondered the idea , his eyes fixed upon the night sky .
The stars clustered above as the half moon radiated its beauty .
16:50 Sat , Dec 28 G Chapter 37 Would it truly be so terrible if a lord selected him ? He scoffed at the thought .
If the lord happened to be interested in men which Emeriel was not he would be so disappointed afterward that he might order Emeriels execution would he not ? Even assuming that did not transpire , Emeriel could not bear the notion of his life revolving around spreading his legs , being used for carnal pleasure by a random Urekai day after day , His entire existence narrowed to that .
The mere thought of it sent shivers down his spine .
The rustle of leaves on the ground alerted him to someones presence nearby .
Looking up , he relaxed upon seeing Ackeira walking towards him .
His sister offered a gentle smile , which he reciprocated , concealing his worries behind the smile so as not to burden Ackeira .
The river is gradually emptying .
Aekeira remarked , closing the distance between them .
What are you doing here ? Emeriel scanned their surroundings momentarily apprehensive that a Urekai soldier might chance upon them and reprimand Aekeira for straying too far from the southernwing .
Do not fret , Madam Livia granted me permission .
I wish to bathe with you tonight .
Ackeira settled beside him .
You have a splendid bathing setup in your chambers , Keira , Emeriel sighed .
That room is the sole luxury afforded to you as the beasts service slave , and you should revel in it to the fullest .
You should not be here .
Oh , hush .
I desire to bathe together , just like old times when we engaged in countless mischievous exploits .
Aekeiras smile widened .
Do you recall when we used to go scavenger hunting in King Orestuss garden ? Unbidden , a smile spread across Emeriels face .
How could he forget ? He would grow so furious his face turned red .
It was always entertaining to witness his changing complexion .
Those were the good old days .
Then , we would venture into the woods and engage in pretend battles all day long .
Emeriel added .
Mama worried herself sick searching for us on one occasion .
I was never proud of that .
Likewise .
But we were children .
Emeriel glanced at his sister .
I miss Mom Ackeiras smile turned sorrowful .
As do I.
I am certain she resides in the heavens , watching over us and keeping us safe .
No , Emeriel was not certain of that , so he remained silent .
The uncertainty reflected on his sisters face as well .
All those teachings under the moonlight about departed loved ones watching over and safeguarding the living Emeriel was beginning to perceive the falsehood in those claims .
Surely , if their parents truly watched over them , they would have encountered at least a modicum of luck in this cruel fate they shared , right ? SEND GIFT
