That Prince Is A Girl The Vicious King's Captive Slave Mate by Kiss Leilani

Captive Slave 291

Chapter 291

Chapter 291

Emeriel was glad Daemonikai had returned to his senses. Whatever had overtaken him that night had been

terrifying. Uncontrollable.

She could still see the wild, vacant look in his eyes. She could still feel what had happened afterward.

Shoving those vile, disturbing memories down, Emeriel thought of something else.

The days before that horrible night. Their days together at the cottage.

She thought of the male who was her soulmate. Who

had never given up on her, even when she had given up on herself.

Daemonikai had chased her tirelessly. Relentlessly. He had been determined to prove their bond deserved

another chance.

Her grand king had stood proudly in court and fought for her. Before an audience filled with those who hated her

kind, he declared her his Soulbond. His Woman.

And Emeriel wouldn't lose him over this. Never.

"I know that look."

Emeriel blinked, looking at her sister, whose head had lifted again to watch her. How long had she been

observing her?

Aekeira's brow lifted. "You're not giving up on him, are you?"

"Never," Emeriel whispered matter-of-factly.

Aekeira nodded. The corners of her lips tugged upward. "Mmm. | didn't think you would."

Then, she settled her head back onto Emeriel's belly.

"No protests?" Emeriel was mildly surprised.

Aekeira sighed. "Emeriel, you have loved this male even when he was nothing more than a mindless beast we

softened into a faint smile. "Thank you."

ones he didn't authorize, from hurting me. That was my dream, Em. That was hope toback then."

Emeriel didn't chastise her for the harshness of the thought. She saw the truth in it.

Back then, such a life would have been considered a blessing. Compared to the endless horrors they had

endured before meeting the Urekai, it was almost a mercy.

"I never thought we would find love here, Keira," Emeriel said softly. "Powerful men who care for us in return.

Emotions welled up as Emeriel continued. "So what if their minds deteriorate from tto time, and they do

things they cannot control? So what if they are broken?"

"You're right." Aekeira's throat worked against Emeriel's belly as she swallowed hard, her voice quiet when she

spoke. "And that's why they have us. We will always be there to pull them out of the dark. Even if i

She paused. “Now | fully understand why you did what you did, Em. Because it's exactly what | would have done

for Lord Vladya. What | have already done for him in the past."

Emeriel stroked her sister's hair gently. "I remember. That day, when my secret cout in the courtyard, Lord

"It was the day he opened up tofor the first time." Aekeira smiled faintly, caught in the memory. "The day |

"That's why | knew, deep down, that | would do anything for him," Aekeira said, her voice dripping emotion. "I

"Maybe one day, we will tell the story

Aekeira shifted closer and pulled her into a hug.

Emeriel felt her throat tighten as she returned the hug, even as the pressure sent a sharp pain through her

spine.

But she bit it back, choosing instead to lean into the embrace, her tears spilling

on Aekeira's shoulder.

"Yes, Em," Aekeira whispered, her voice

warm in her ear. "Maybe one day, all of this will merely be a story of the past."

Maybe.

Emeriel blinked back tears as a bittersweet smile touched her lips. What a beautiful, fragile illusion they had

painted together.

She gave a small nod. "Then | guess we need to get you recovered as soon as we can."

Emeriel managed a watery smile. "Then | guess so."
