hapter 55 Even Ottai appeared resigned .
They had evaded the issue for centuries , but now they both knew Zaiper might succeed .
He could persuade the court to make an active effort to slay the feral , rather than waiting for the night of the eclipse moon .
And once the people rallied behind it , the grand lordss hands would be forced .
Moreover , once the public was in support , the Elders would undoubtedly agree to the decision even pressure the rulers if they continued to delay .
Vladyas mind was in turmoil .
The truth was , there was no rational reason not to proceed with killing Daemonikais beast .
He just simply wasnt ready .
That beast was all that remained of his crumbling sanity .
The tether that assured him he hadnt lost everything that fateful night .
As long as Daemonikai lived , Vladya found it easier to resist the losing battle that was his sanity .
Daemonikai , the strongest male he knew , had succumbed to madness to escape the horrors they had faced .
And Vladya was barely holding on by a thread .
And as long as that beast lived , that thread held tight .
No matter how thin it had become , it held tight .
And , when he finally lost his oldest friend , his companion whom he should have mourned with , Vladya feared his last semblance of sanity would go alongside the beast .
Perhaps Zaiper knew that too .
Maybe , that was one of the reasons he was so eager to eliminate the feral .
The sound of laughter drew Vladyas attention back to the present .
He stared ahead to discover its source .
The slave princess sat by well , watching her brother draw water .
She laughed at the displeased expression on his face as he worked .
The little prince certainly possessed strength .
The boy effortlessly drew water , pouring it into a larger bucket and sending the smaller one back down , Ackeira reached up to remove the strand of hair that obscured the princes eyes .
With a gentle push , she joined it with the rest , her eyes filled with happiness and laughter .
The sight stirred memories within him .
Reminded him of Daemonikai and their early days of friendship .
A sharp pang of pain gripped Vladyas heart .
He halted and observed the siblings .
Daemonikai was a thousand years older than him and already a king when they first MEL Vladya , on the other hand , was a stubborn , mouthy , and bothersome prince back then .
He had never wanted to become a grand lord , but his father had insisted .
And , after his father passed , he had no choice but to assume the mantle at barely three hundred years old .
Their bloodline was pure , their strength extraordinary , even at their young age .
Vladya had expected Daemonikai to be harsh with him during those times when he deliberately provoked and undermined others .
But not Daemonikai .
He had been different .
Their friendship had blossomed and endured for over three thousand years .
And now , suddenly , there was no Daemonikai .
Only his beast .
Only his beast which Vladya would soon be forced to kill .
16:54 Sat , Dec 28 G Chapter 55 The girls gaze wandered , and she caught him staring .
She paled .
Her smile vanished , replaced by fear .
10 59 % 日 Vladya disliked being caught off guard , but he refused to behave childishly about it .
He maintained his gaze , and she quickly averted her eyes , nudging her brother , who also looked up and spotted Vladya .
The boy appeared more angry than scared , but he dutifully lowered his eyes .
They both bowed .
Return to your tasks , he said to them .

They obeyed .
Their actions now carrying tension , devoid of their previous ease .
Both stood out among humans not only for the regal air that always surrounded them , but also because of their exceptional beauty .
The boy possessed an unusual level of beauty that no boy should rightfully possess , and his long , jet black hair only added to it .
An attractiveness that was uncommon .
Almost ethereal .
Yet , it was the girl who consistently captured Vladyas attention .
Even now , his gaze remained fixed on her .
It was simply unfair for a human female to be so breathtakingly beautiful .
My lord ? Yazs voice interrupted his thoughts .
What is it .
Yaz ? You were growling .
Yaz pointed out .
Was he ? Vladya noticed the rumbling in his throat and promptly ceased .
Curse the gods , the girl had the uncanny ability to get under his skin like no other human ever had .
The desire to mount her surged within him once more .
The thoughts he entertained regarding the young princess were disturbing .
He wanted to put his hands on her .
To make it hurt .
To make her scream .
To consume her .
He wanted to unleash on her and watch how she would handle him in his most animalistic state .
Above all , her blood called out to him .
He craved to sink his fangs into her pale neck and drink from her until she was writhing in his arms .
My lord ? Yazs voice broke through his thoughts again .
What is it now , Yaz? he asked , slightly irritated .
Your fangs , my lord .
They are out .
Blast it all ! Vladya retracted them , spun around , and began walking away .
That damned human .
Summon Lady Merilyn .
Instruct her to meet me in my chambers , Vladya commanded as he strode off For some reason , that girl awakened his dark side .
A reason among many why he despised her .
He would be damned before he succumbed to his desires for her again .
He would not .
16:54 Sat , Dec 28 Chapter 55 He would NOT ! EMERIEL 59 Emeriel hesitated , then rapped at the door .
Moments later , the door swung open and a maid emerged .
How may I be of service ? I am Emeriel .
Could you kindly inform your lord that Emeriel here to pay him a visit ? Emeriel requested .
Of course .
Please wait here for a moment .
The maid disappeared inside .
After a few minutes , she returned and guided him inside , stating that Lord Herod was ready to receive him .
Emeriel felt a rush of nerves and desperation , leaving him unable to do anything more than a nod The maid left him in a corridor , where he patiently waited .
He knew it was impolite to visit a lord at such a late hour , but his desperation had overridden his concern .
Finally , the door creaked open , and Lord Herod came out , clad in a nightshirt and robe .
Emeriel ? His voice was groggy , as if awoken from slumber .
