That Prince Is A Girl: The Vicious King’s Slave Mate Novel

Chapter 380: Unreal. Ten months of slavery. Was it really over? No more back-breaking chores, slavemasters with their spiked whips, barely edible food, nights of starvation, mistresses attacking them, being naked before lords at the roundtable. Was it truly over?

"I never thought this day would come," Emeriel choked out, pulling back to glance around the room. "How is this day even possible?"

Aekeira shook her head. "I don't know."

As the grand king scribbled on a scroll, passing it around to the high lords for their signatures, Aekeira watched their freedom become more tangible with each mark. With every stroke of the quill, their chains unraveled. Then, the words the grand king had said came back to her. A troop awaits to safely take you back home.

Aekeira stilled. Her breath, her heart, everything inside her froze.

They were going back home. Back to Navia.

Emeriel tensed too. In her eyes, Aekeira saw the realization as clear as water.

Aekeira looked at the podium where Lord Vladya and King Daemonikai were scrutinizing the scrolls, focused solely on the formalities. Same ironclad control, same poker face, and eyes that revealed nothing. Both males, so different yet so alike in many ways. She wished desperately that she could see what was going through Lord Vladya's mind.

Why hadn't he looked at her? Not even a glance.

But she knew why. They were being sent away.

These two impossibly stubborn males were getting rid of them the only way they knew how. Millions of miles across the universe, far enough they would never return.

They want us gone so badly they are willing to set us free for it.

"It h-hurts." Emeriel's broken whisper made Aekeira's eyes water.

"I know, Em," Aekeira's hand clenched into the fabric of her skirt. "I know."

Being free was exhilarating, but at what cost?

Freedom, it seemed, came with its own kind of pain.

Standing at the gates of Ravenshadow with Emeriel, they gazed back at the towering castle that had been their home and doom for nearly a year. Its magnificent pillars stretched high, almost reaching the sky.

Aekeira noticed the glares from the Urekai people passing by, their hatred directed squarely at Emeriel. The strength of their disdain made her stomach churn.

If it weren't for the protective troop of soldiers surrounding them, Em would surely have been attacked.

Moving toward the carriage, she asked Em, "Are you ready to go?"

Em did not respond immediately, her eyes lingering on the stone walls, tracing every corner of the fortress as if to carve it into memory. Finally, she turned to Aekeira. "Yes, I'm ready."

Just as they were about to step in, a voice called out. "Wait!"

LAST CHAPTER OF PART 2.

Both Aekeira and Emeriel paused, glancing toward the source. A female Urekai hurried toward them, and the troop parted to allow her through.

Aekeira raised an eyebrow. The soldiers had been ordered to block anyone from approaching them-friends or foes. She had seen them turn away Amie, Madam Livia, and others, but now they stepped aside with ease. The woman must be someone of importance.
