Chapter 70 Aekeira quickly reached into her garment and retrieved the book that Emeriel had read yesterday , but Aekeira had forgotten to return to the library .
Here , she handed it to him .
Lord Vladya accepted it , brought it to his nose and inhaled deeply .
His scent is there, but its faint .
it will take more time to track him since his scent is barely detectable .
What about my hand ? Ackeira asked , desperate .
Em loves touching my hand .
He does it all the time .
That means his scent would be much stronger , right ? Aekeira .
Lord Vladya stared at hier outstretched hand .
He didnt make a move to take it .
I dont need to scent you right now , Goosebumps spread through her body as her name rolled off his tongue .
She would never admit it , but her name had never sounded better .
That mistress might already be torturing Em .
The thought jolted her , bringing her wandering mind back .
Please , just do it .
I beg of you, she implored .
Finally , he stepped forward and enveloped her small hand in his larger ones , raising it to his nose and taking a deep breath .
Ackeira was taken aback as a low growl rumbled from his chest .
For a moment , his e , flickered with a yellow hue .
He inhaled once more before releasing her hand Lets go .
he ordered , and strode forward .
Aekeira trailed behind him , praying all the while that Em was unharmed .
Grand Lord Vladya descended the stairs , leading Aekeira through the labyrinthine underground chambers .
The multitude of rooms and winding corridors would have surely left her disoriented if she had ventured alone .
However , Vladya strode confidently , navigating the intricate path without hesitation .
As they drew nearer , Aekeira heard a voice a womans voice .
I shall subject you to thirty lashes from the spiked whip .
Whether you count or not matters not to me , the mistress declared , growing louder as they approached .
Grand Lord Vladya swept into the chamber , his black robes swirling , his presence commanding .
You shall do no such thing , Sinai , he proclaimed , his voice echoing with cold authority .
The mistresss head jerked around , and went as still as a statue .
She released the whip as though it burned her hand , and it clattered to the ground .
M my Lord , what brings you here ? she stammered , breathlessly I could ask you the same thing .
Sinai , Vladyas tone was decepusely calm .
His gaze swept across the room , taking in the array of torture tools and the figure of Emeriel , who was suspended like a sacrificial offering .
Then , his eyes returned to the mistress .
The mistress averted her gaze .
He took a step forward , and she quickly retreated a step .
I told you to leave the boy alone .
How dare you disobey my command ? Leave the boy alone ? Aekeira was confused .
She observed as the imposing Urekai guard hed called Yaz went to Emeriel and began untying the restraints that bound him .
16:57 Sat , Dec 28 GO .
Chapter 70 Aekeira hastened forward to assist .
Em , are you hurt ? Her lips trembled with concern .
8 * = 57 % .
The profound relief that washed over Emeriels face nearly moved Aekeira to tears .
She had truly lost all hope of being rescued , hadnt she ? Tm so sorry , Em .
Π Please , do not apologize , Keira .
Emeriel mustered a faint smile Thank you , sister .

For a moment there .
I feared she would scourge my back and sear my skin with her branding iron .
Both directed their gaze toward the mistress , EMERIEL Emeriel never imagined anything could instill fear in the Urekai female , but her cowering in the presence of Grand Lord Vladya proved him wrong .
Emericl couldnt help but feel a small sense of satisfaction at the sight .
What do you think you were doing ? Did you really believe I wouldnt find out that you went against my orders and killed the boy ? Lord Vladya snapped .
Emeriel couldnt tell what was worse .
His controlled fury , or an outburst ? The quic the exuded was truly terrifying .
Why do you intervene on his behalf ? He is but a filthy human ! He angered me , and I desired to punish him ! What is wrong with that ? Mistress Sinai screamed in anger , her cheeks flushed Their lives are worthless ! You know it , and 1 know it .
T I care not for your opinion , nor do I concern myself with your reasons .
You have disobeyed a direct order , Sinai , and for that , I must punish you , Vladya declared , his gaze piercing hers .
You shall be confined to your chambers for a week .
You are forbidden from venturing outside for any reason whatsoever .
Your meals shall be delivered to you , and should you require anything urgent from beyond your chambers , your maidservants shall attend to it .
Under no circumstances should you ser foot outside your bedroom , for if you do , I shall personally throw you into the Hole .
Emeriel winced .
Shed heard Urekai mention the Hole a time or two a place of punishment , a nightmare made real .
A dark enclosed small space where time itself became the torturer , the endless dark a suffocating weight .
Their beasts , unable to bear the disorientation , would lash out in a frenzy , bringing unbearable pain to their Urekai form .
Mistress Sinai paled .
You would subject me to chamber arrest for the sake of a filthy human ? You w would throw me in into the Hole ? She appeared utterly betrayed .
Devastated .
Closing the remaining distance between them , Vladya grasped Mistress Sinais jaw .
Consider yourself fortunate that the torture you planned had not yet begun , Sinai .
Otherwise , I would have thrown you straight into the Hole .
He tilted her face upward , forcing her eyes to meet his .
This has nothing to do with the humans , and everything to do with your disobedience .
Next time you go against my command , I will punish you severely .
He sneered , Guards .
Two soldiers stepped forward from where the mistress had stationed them .
Yes , your Majesty , they chorused , their voices rough and obedient .
Escort the mistress back to her quarters , he ordered , his tone as sharp and unforgiving as a honed blade .
They moved with mechanical efficiency , their hands gripping Mistress Sinais arms despite her struggles .
Tears streamed down her cheeks , leaving glistening tracks on her pale skin .
Her sobe echoed in the stone chamber as they led her away .
Turning abruptly , Lord Vladya directed his gaze toward Emeric and Aekeira , his eyes like chips of ice .
They quickly lowered their heads , hearts pounding against their ribs .
Emeriel was stunned by the manner in which Lord Vladyn had dealt with the mistress .
It was entirely unexpected Judging by the subtle stiffening of Aekeiras shoulders , she too was taken aback .
Tell Livia to have the boy bathed and freshened up .
Emeriel and I need to have a discussion , Lord Vladya instructed Yaz , 1 2/3 16 : 5 Sat , Dec 2 H Chapter 70 want him brought to my chambers as soon as possible .
Then , Lord Vladya turned on his heel , his gaze already fixed on the door .
With determined steps , his cloak swirling in his wake , he exited the chamber without a backward glance .
