Chapter 72 A Urekai maid came out and escorted him inside .
Emeriel followed without question .
His eyes were immediately drawn to the soaring ceiling , supported by ornate stone columns , giving the space an airy yet imposing ambiance .
The floor was a seamless expanse of polished marble , veined with gold .
In the center , a large Persian Π in rich colors caught his attention .
An enormous fireplace dominated one wall , its mantel carved from a single block of marble , a fire crackling within .
Nearby , floor to ceiling windows draped in heavy brocade curtains offered a view of the royal gardens : It was the grandest and most magnificent living room Emeriel had ever seen in a royal residence .
Come .
The maid led him through twists and turns of passageways until they stopped at a closed door .
Go inside .
He is expecting you After the maid left , Emeriel swallowed tightly then opened the door , entering the grand study .
Behind the large wooden desk .
Grand Lord Vladya sat , engrossed in writing on his scroll .
Lord Vladya paused , glancing up at him Emeriel bowed .
My Lord .
Lord Vladya abandoned his scroll , the chair drawing back with a distinct sound as he rose .
With steady and regal movements , the grand lord closed the distance between them .
Emeriel resisted the urge to step back , instead keeping his head lowered .
Standing before him , Grand Lord Vladya scrutinized him with a watchful gaze .
As if he could see straight through Emeriel .
To make matters worse , Lord Vladya bent at the waist , bringing is face close to Emeriels , making eye contact .
Emeriels head jerked back , his eyes widening as he swallowed tightly .
How can someone so small do something so big ? Lord Vladya muttered to himself .
Emeriel deducing the grand lord was talking to himself , remained silent .
What did you do to make Daemonikai like that , Emeriel ? This one was directed at him .

What could you have possibly done to a male beast like Daemonikai ? Emeriels stomach lurched at the accusations .
In this kingdom , this is how it usually begins , and ends with the accused head hanging on a spike .
I did nothing .
I swear it ! he answered quickly .
Ive never done anything .
You did something Lord Vladya countered .
No , I The beast let you feed him .
Burst out of the cage at one point just to mount you .
And a few days ago , it broke free to take you away from court and keep you to himself .
Why ? Lord Vladyn pulled away slightly .
Ihave asked myself that countless times now I have even had sleepless nights .
But you know what Emeriel ? W what ? Emeriel was hyperventilating now .
The room spun , ting .
Where is this going ? I do not care how you do it .
I do not care what you are doing at all .
I simply want you to keep doing it , Lord Vladya stated , looking up at him .
Wait , what ? The room snapped back into focus .
That certainly wasnt what he expected to hear .
What ? Grand Lord Vladya looked away .
I will have you know , it is highly improbable for a Urekai to come back from 1/3 ||| O 16:57 Sat , Dec 28 Chapter 72 157 % 日 mindlessness .
Such a thing has never occurred before .
But Daemonikai is also displaying actions that should not be seen in a feral either , and it all began with you .
It all seems to be connected to you .
I feel foolish even entertaining the thought , but His eyes locked onto Emeriels , revealing a raw pain in them .
If there is even a chance , no matter how slim , that he could .
regain his sanity , I would move mountains to make it possible Emeriel watched him , stunned Grand Lord Vladya , who usually wore an expression of indifference or icy coldness , now hore a look of unmistakable naked pain that shocked Emeriel .
A display of vulnerability Emeriel never expected to see not from him .
Thus , I need you to remain close to him , Lord Vladya stated .
From this point forward , your duty will be to feed the beast .
I will inform the soldiers accordingly , to ensure your safe passage .
I want you out of harms way .
Until I see whether or not you can help Daemonikai , you are not allowed to die.
Do you understand ? That was one weird request .
Why would Emeriel want to die ? Yes .
Your Highness .
I will grant you a single request .
Consider it a reward for hope given .
Apart from setting you free , you may make one request of me , and I will grant it Emeriels eyes widened in surprise .
Truly ? Lord Vladya nodded once .
Yes .
What do you desire ? The answer was surprisingly easy .
His greatest wish was to set Arkeira free .
But Emeriel hesitated .
Ackeira would never leave without him .
And even if she were forced to , she would never be safe back Navia .
King Orestus would continue exploiting her , pawning her off to his officials , using her as collateral for his bets .
And Emeriel wouldnt be there to protect her .
So , he opted for the next best thing .
I do not wish for my sister to be offered to the beast ever again .
And he hesitated , his voice faltering , If possible , Your Highness , I would like to request that you cease mounting her as well .
Silence enveloped the room .
GRAND LORD VLADYA AND LORD Lord Vladyas sharp gaze rested on the young prince , his expression unreadable as he contemplated the boys request .
Of all the things Emeriel could have asked for , it surprised him how little he had chosen to demand .
Most would seize the opportunity for wealth , expansive lands , gold coins .
Yet , the boy had asked for something infinitely more personal … to save his sister .
Vladyas lips pressed into a thin line .
In truth , granting the first part of Emeriels request was almost laughably simple .
He could declare it done with a single command , and none would challenge him .
But the second part ? That was far more complicated .
Taking his seat , he leaned back slightly , his fingers drumming against the arm of his chair .
Deep down , Vladya knew the truth that disturbed him greatly .
He still wanted Aekeira .
His desire for her still burned unchecked , insatiablet .
He hadnt ted his appetite for her not by a long shot .
