Chapter 83 AMIE 0 1569 Hours For when Amie arrived for her shift , a wave of relief washed over her at the sight of Slave Master Caine alone behind the tavern bar , Master Boris notably absent .
The feeling lingered , a comforting warmth against the chill of the night as she finished her work and stepped out into the darkness .
Eager to return to the fortress , she took the shorter route through the barn .
But her steps faltered as a bloodcurdling scream pierced the silence .
More screams , more pleas .
The slave , whoever it was , was begging a master for mercy .
She recognized the masculine voice .
Master Boris .

Hell , hell , hell .
Amies pace quickened , panic constricting her throat Shed managed to avoid him all week why had she chosen the shortcut tonight ! A brutal yank on her hair sent a jolt of pain through her scalp .
Ah , there you are , my little sneak , Boriss voice rasped in her ear , hot with malice .
Sneaky , sneaky , Amie She winced .
M Master Boris .
Youve been avoiding me .
Never , Master , she choked out , the lie tasting bitter on her tongue .
Oh , really ? He yanked her hair again , harder this time .
Do you think me a fool ? How dare you lie to me ? Where is the little prince , Amie ? You were supposed to bring him to me .
He doesnt work at the tavern anymore , Master Boris .
Surely , youve heard about the court incident ? The grand lords have taken an interest in Emeriel .
They have their eyes on him .
It is dangerous to pursue your desires for him .
I care not for what happened in court , Master Boris snarled , his fingers left her hair to tighten around her throat .
How dare you lecture me ? You do not want to anger me , do you ? Fear choked her .
No , Master She gasped , fighting for air .
Good .
His grip loosened .
Two nights from now , the barn , sixth hour past noon .
Bring the boy .
Do you understand ? I dont care how you do it .
But if I dont see him there , Ill gut you like a fish and bury your corpse where no one will find it .
His voice was low and menacing , promising unimaginable pain .
Understood ? Despair washed over Amie .
She had no choice .
Yes , she whispered , her voice barely audible .
I will bring Emeriel .
COURT OF DUTY , RAVENSHADOW CITADEL GRAND LORD ZAIPER This court was similar to the grand high court in all aspects except its name and location .
Its appearance mirrored that of -most courts within the fortress .
The assembly convened here , with the grand lords settled in their seats and the high lords taking up their respective positions .
The meeting had been in progress for quite some time , with discussions revolving around taxes , crops , and hunts .
Following these deliberations , Lord Jakal , the overseer of military affairs , stood to address the issue of the ferals terrorizing the mountainside of Urai .
1/3 111 17:01 Sat , Dec 28 G Chapter 83 56 % I am pleased to announce that my soldiers have finally captured and eliminated two of them .
The mountainside is now tree from the threat of ferals .
It is unfortunate , a family of four was lost before we could apprehend them , but I am relieved that the danger has passed , Lord Jakal announced , his voice ringing with a mix of pride and regret .
Vladya observed Zaipers sudden interest at the mention of ferals and their elimination .
Zaiper had been bored to death by the court proceedings , but now his ears perked up , and he leaned forward .
Vladya rolled his eyes .
Ottai shot Vladya a pleading look , and Vladya raised a placating hand in a gesture of surrender .
Ottai visibly relaxed .
Ferals are wild creatures that must be dealt with before they kill is all , Zaiper praised , I commend you , Lord Jakal , for ensuring the safety of the mountainside .
The overseer of military affairs beamed , bowing low in acknowledgment .
It is my duty , Your Highness .
Indeed , Zaiper purred , his smile returning Speaking of ferals .
It is high time we discuss the mightiest among them .
As I mentioned during the harvest , it is time to peacefully send the grand king home .
I believe most of you agreed with me then .
that it is the right course of action .
However , this time , none of the heads he expected nodded in approval as they usually did .
The silence that followed was discomforting .
His smile vanished .
Surely , it is the right thing to do , is it not ? Lord Daryl , the overseer of trade , rose to his feet .
With all due respect , Your I in court that day .
It was undeniably terrifying , yes , but ..
He shook his head , hi was also … extraordinary .
Those were not the actions of a mindless creature .
I disagree .
We all saw what happened Tad mix of awe and disbelief .
It I beg to differ , Daryl .
Those were indeed the actions of a feral beast .
You all saw how he lunged at me , did you not ? Zaipers voice was sharp .
Grand King Daemonikai did not recognize his own rulers .
He would never have acted that way if he were in his right mind .
Vladya let out a snort of derision .
Zaiper glared at him .
Vladya met his gaze , unfazed .
No one here claims his mind is unimpaired , Your Highness , Land Daryl clarified .
We merely suggest that something is different .
Perhaps we should not rush to eliminate the beast .
After all , we have already waited five hundred years .
A little more patience would not hurt .
After Lord Daryl resumed his seat , the overseer of financial management stood to address the court .
I concur with Lord Daryls sentiments , and I also believe that the boy the human boy taken by the beast should be brought to court for questioning .
Why was he chosen ? What is the meaning behind itall ? Perhaps he holds the answers we seek Before Zaiper could retort , Vladyas voice sliced through the air cool and collected .
The boy holds no answers .
I have questioned him thoroughly .
He is just as baffled as the rest of us The mystery remains , then , the overseer pressed , his resolve growing .
We must tread carefully- What has gotten into you all? Zaipers voice boomed through the hall , his fury barely contained .
What happened during the harvest was sheer luck .
We narrowly escaped with our lives ! Do you truly wish to gamble with your very existence ? With the lives of your loved ones , should that beast break free once more ? As Lord Daryl mentioned , Zaipers voice continued , impatiently .
We have waited five hundred years .
We have gambled with our lives and the lives of our people for far too long .
The forbidden chambers may be fortified , but they cannot hold King Darmonikais beast .
It could escape and wreak havoc at any moment ! Any moment ! His gaze raked across the assembled lords , piercing their composure .
And what if next time , luck isnt on our side ? 2/3 17.01 Sat , Dec 28 G · Chapter 3 An anxious murmur rippled through the court as the high lords exchanged furtive glances , weariness etched into their faces , SEND GIFT
