Chapter 84 RAND LORDVLADYA Vladya observed as usual in silence .
Despite his blood boiling and the multitude of thoughts swirling within him , his demeanor betrayed no emotion .
For five centuries , this debate had raged on .
Every lord in this court well aware of his stance regarding the feral creature .
Yet , Zaiper always managed to twist the narrative , suggesting Vlady was indifferent to the peoples welfare , motivated solely by selfish reasons to keep the beast alive .
He was accused of valuing the memory of his deceased best friend over the very lives of his people Following Zaipers accusation two years prior , Vladya ceased defending the issue in court .
Not because he cared about Zaiper and the high lordss opinion of him , but because there was a sliver of doubt deep down .
Perhaps , just perhaps , there was a kernel of truth to Zaipers words .
Perhaps , in his heart , Vladys did prioritize saving Daemonikai over the lives of his own people .
And that thought was unsettling , for despite his outward detachment , Vladya genuinely cared for his people .
The time has come to do what is necessary , Zaiper declared , his voice carrying an air of finality .
We must kill the beast .
Lord Ottai looked at Vladya with a mixture of pity and sorrow .
Vladya ignored him .
A heavy silence fell upon the court .
It was broken by the weary voice of Lord Henry , the overseer of domestic affairs , but agree to this … drastic course of action , how do we accomplish it Your previous attempts Slaying an alpha zeniths beast is nearly impossible without careful planning and execution .
bondmate .
Even if we were kill the beast proved fruitless .
Then , we plan , and we execute , Zaiper drawled .
We begin with the Chalice .
On the night of the eclipse moon , we perform the ritual to draw the beast out .
We will all be weakened , yes , but so will the beast .
The proposal was met with a chorus of disapproval .
The ritual was dangerous .
They would all be left exposed and defenseless to unforeseen complications that may arise during the elimination .
The trauma of the last eclipse moon was still fresh in their minds , and the people would undoubtedly resist any attempt to hasten its arrival .
It was one thing to know the night of darkness and helplessness was coming it was quite another to willingly summon it .
Arguments erupted , swaying back and forth in a heated and protracted debate .
Zaiper seemed to realize he was losing ground .
Very well .
We will abandon the eclipse moon plan .
Instead , we rely on the next best option .
We shall use every weapon at our disposal to subdue the beast .
Scented leaves from the forest of Abadin , daggers infused with dragonblood , iron shards , and firearms loaded with poisoned bullets .
Combined , these will significantly weaken , if not outright kill , the beast Another wave of murmurs swept through the court .
The overseer of military affairs rose to his feet once more , his voice heavy with doubt .
Are we truly to use such lethal poisons on the grand king ? It seems … heartless , even for a noble cause .
I agree with Lord Jakal , Grand Lord Ottai finally spoke .
We cannot go to such extremes .
Not when it concerns King Darmonikai It is indeed a harsh measure , Lord Zaiper admitted .
But we must make the tough decisions if we are to emerge from this battle alive .

This rage was not normal .
This was the abyss beckoning … a descent into feral madness .
Vladyaknew it well If he surrendered to this consuming darkness , there might be no coming back .

Instead , he let the rage fester .
To consume him .

All His claws extended , sharp and gleaming .
Fangs descended , eager for the taste of blood .
Judging by the way the room took on a yellow tint and Ottais horrified gaze , Vladyas eyes must have also changed color .

He strode across the podium , grasped Vladyas arm , towards the back room .
Vladya could have resisted , but the unwavering resolve in Ouals eyes made it clear if necessary .

No.
Vladya , damn it ! Reign it in ! I refuse .
Vladyas voice was a guttural snart .

Bathe in their blood .
He flicked his tongue across a fang .
Oh .

Stop this madness ! Ottai grabbed Vladya by the shoulders , shaking him .
You will lose whats left of your sanity , you idiot ! Tell me , what are you going to do about it ? Vladya taunted with a smirk , a feral glint in his eyes .
You and I both know you are no match for me , Ouai .
Even Zaiper would not dare challenge me directly .
I will tear him apart and leave his bones for the vultures .
You may be right , Ottai countered , his voice unwavering .
But dont think we would not band together and fight you , Vladya .
Dont you dare think we will stand idly by and let your inner beast have its way .
His gaze met Vladyas , unflinching Then lets dance , Ottai , Vladya shrugged off the fourth rulers grip , a predatory smile curling his lips .
Why are you trying to stop me ? He turned back towards the court , No ! Ontai lunged , desperation fueling his strength .
He slammed Vladyn back against the wall .
For the love of all thats holy , Vladya .
Get ahold of yourself ! Wrong move .
In a blur of motion , Vladyas claws flashed , leaving a deep gash in Ottais arm , Crimson blood welled up , staining the pristine white of his robes , A wave of pure fury washed over Vladyas face , his eyes now glowing bright yellow , Leave .
Me .
Alone .
Try to stop me again , 2/3 17:01 Sat , Dec 28 G Chapter 84 and it will be the last thing you ever do Ottais grip tightened , refusing to yield .
Youll lose yourself to the beast , Vlad ! I will NOT let that happen ! I refuse to lose another friend ! His eyes filled with unshed tears , his voice hoarse with desperation .
You will have to kill me first , but I will NOT let you go feral ! Outside the backroom , Zaipers voice rang out with a decree .
The decision is made and now set in stone .
In the forthright , we shall eliminate the feral beast .
His proclamation echoed , followed by the decisive strike of the royal gavel Vladya saw red .
The beast within him roared , demanding release , Vladya gave in .
