Chapter 94 E Emeriel pushed himself harder .
The woods , so familiar from a life spent hunting and scavenging to feed himself and Ackeira , were now his sanctuary and his weapon .
The snap of branches and the dry rustle of leaves beneath his feet marked his passage .
Every step was a frantic blur , leaving behind only the echo of his rapid heartbeat as he vanished into the depths of the woods .
Bloody hell ! Where is hell The fading cry marked his progress for now .
But the ceaseless chase was taking its toll .
Unlike the tireless Urekai .
Emeriel was only human .
He knew , with a chilling certainty , that he wouldnt outrun them all the way back to the fortress , Emeriels ragged breaths echoed in the sudden quiet as his heart pounded a staccato rhythm against his ribs , Desperate eyes , scanned the underbrush , seeking refuge .
There a fallen log covered in thick ferns , a sliver of darkness promising concealment .
He scrambled towards it , wedging himself into the It space .
This was it .
He could hide , at least for a moment .
A strong hand clamped onto his shoulder , yanking him out of his hiding Leave me alone ! Emeriel shricked , flailing , panic lending his blows surprising strength ..
Quiet .
Its me , a familiar , deep voice spoke .
Grand Lord Vladya ? Emeriel froze , the surprise of seeing the grand lord almost outweighing his fear .
Almost .
How had the grand lord found him ? Save your questions for later .
We dont have time .
Come on , lets go .
Vladya scooped Emeriel into his arms , and ran .
Emeriel held himself still , barely able to breathe .
Lord Vladyas speed left him thunderstruck .
He moved with the blinding flash of lightning , as quick as the wind .
If the grand lord chased him , Emeriel knew he wouldnt stand a chance .
A storm of arrows erupted , buzzing like angry wasps as they came hurtling toward them .
Vladya became a whirlwind , deflecting and dodging with sophisticated grace .
But the relentless onslaught was too much ; Emeriel braced himself for the searing pain of an arrowhead .
Then , Lord Vladyas big form enveloped him .
His larger body folded over his smaller frame like a shield , protecting Emeriel completely .
Finally , they sought cover behind a massive tree .
Only then did Emeriel see it two arrows jutted from Lord Vladyas left shoulder .
Youve been hit , Your Highness ! Emeriel choked .
Vladya studied the arrows with detached annoyance , as though they were mere nuisances .
With casual case , he snapped them free , blood oozing from the wounds , then paused to sniff their broken shafts .
Dragonblood , he murmured , calmly .
What does that mean ? Emeriel asked , his worry for the grand lord unexpectedly outweighing his own terror .

Chapter 94 Poison .
Vladyas response was curt , almost bored .
He tossed the arrows aside , then glanced at Emeriel .
Wait here .
And in a flash , he was gone .
The forest erupted in a sound of horror .
Screams rose into the air , followed by the snap of bones breaking .
The wetness of flesh tearing , desperate cries of agony cut short , and something crunching beneath a devastating force .
When Lord Vladya returned , Emeriel noticed his white robe was splattered crimson , the blood vivid against the stark white .
More spattered his scarred face , and his eyes … there was a gleam in them that made Emeriels stomach twist with fear .
He looked as unbothered as ever , as if killing all those assassins was a mere inconvenience .
He lifted Emeriel and began to sprint again .

We have to be fast before the poison takes effect .
It is lethal to our kind .
Lord Vladya spoke in the same casual tone one might use in discussing the weather .
But , by the time they arrived at Ravenshadow , Emeriel could see how true his words were .
Lord Vladyas inhuman speed had slowed , his once effortless strides now strain d , his breathing harsh .
Emeriel , placed back on his feet , instinctively took a step back to put son .
between them He was fortunate Lord Vladya maintained a professional demeanor , keeping his arms firmly wrapped around Emeriels abdomen without any wandering .
His gaze stayed on the grand lord who had saved his life , and a lot of troubling emotions battled within him .
Blood from his wound flowed in endless streams .
A sheen of sweat beaded Lord Vladyas brow , I thought Urekai had self healing abilities for physical wounds , the question slipped before he could stop it Then , he bit his lips , wondering if he had overstepped his bounds .
We do , and we dont .
Its a complicated matter , Vladyas reply was clipped .
One has to blood feed first for natural healing to commence .
And for injuries such as this , a healer is also needed .
As they neared Blackstone , its impressive outline loomed against the last rays of the dying sun , a group of soldiers stood waiting .
Their eyes widened with alarm as they saw their ruler , but a sharp shake of the grand lords head cut off any offers of assistance Yaz was about to make .
I am fine , he insisted , and they reluctantly respected his wishes , They followed behind the grand Lord , all the way to the grand entrance of his home .
With a deep bow , Emeriel offered his heartfelt gratitude .
My Lord Vladya , I am forever in your debt for saving my life Stay out of trouble , Grand Lord Vladyas tone was cool and dismissive .
Return to your quarters .
Your duties are concluded for today .
Emneriel obeyed , but worry gnawed at him as he left .
Lord Vladys injuries had looked severe , even if hed treated them as mere nuisances I still cant believe he saved my life , Emeriel whispered , a mix al gratitude and confusion swirling within him .

Chapter 94 @ K55 % Π Emeriel flung open the door of his quarters , took one step inside and went very still .
A shadowy figure lurked against the far wall , hand darting for a weapon sheathed at its hip .
Another assassin .
Fear jolted through him .
They were inside .
How many more were hiding in there ? He slammed the door shut with a frantic bang , instantly pivoting into a run .
The crash of wood splintering echoed behind him , followed by the thundering footsteps of his pursuers .
He could barely force his exhausted legs to keep up the desperate pace .
The good news is , this group didnt seem to have the poisonous arrows .
But , the bad news ! They were closing in on him .
Fast .
Emeriel had a single destination in mind .
Grand Lord Vladyas quarters would have been a shorter journey but his inst frote him in one direction .
His beast .
