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

Chapter 55: This meant no work, no responsibilities, so Amie diligently brought him books to keep himself busy between his meals.

When Emeriel inquired about the unexpected change, Madam Livia remained tight-lipped. "Do you not appreciate it? Would you prefer to work while you heal?"

Naturally, Emeriel was grateful for the reprieve and expressed his thanks to the elderly woman, but she waved it off dismissively. The reason behind Madam Livia's continuous assistance remained a mystery to him, but Emeriel saw no reason to question her kindness.

Unfortunately, Emeriel did not get to see Aekeira as frequently as he would have liked. She had been assigned to the well area for the week, tirelessly drawing water and filling countless basins and gallons throughout the fortress. The silver lining was that the large wells were located far from the northern wings. There was little chance Aekeira would cross paths with Grand Lord Zaiper. After the awful experience, Emeriel would be glad if his sister never encountered him again. Ever.

Aekeira had informed him of Lord Vladya's summons. Emeriel had journeyed to Blackwood, only to discover that Grand Lord Vladya was away on a trip. Since then, there had been no sign or word from the Lord.

However, that was the least of his worries. The beast never left his mind. Something within him had changed that night. He was not in heat, nor had he experienced it again, but an unfamiliar craving awoke within him.

The mere thought of that night or the beast made him feel warm inside. Made him wet. It seemed as though an inexplicable connection had been forged between them while the feral creature ruthlessly plundered his body, and Emeriel wanted more.

The very notion was absurd. Horrifying. Utterly dreadful. He hated being taken by the beast, the excruciating pain still fresh in his memory. The fear and panic of a repeat encounter sent him into cold sweats.

No, he had no desire for the beast's strange attention to be focused on him. No, he did not want to be mounted by the beast again.

And yet, his body craved more.

His nights were plagued by erotic dreams of the beast ravishing him repeatedly, causing Emeriel to wake up flushed, feverish, and teetering on the brink of climax. "Goodness, what is happening to me?" he thought, his mind swirling with confusion and shame.

GRAND LORD VLADYA

After two full days on the road, Grand Lord Vladya desired nothing more than to recline upon his comfortable bed and doze for the remainder of the day. It was precisely why he detested venturing to the outskirts of Urai. But the Elder had summoned him, giving him no choice but to answer.

Weary to his very core, he trudged along the path leading to his quarters. The sight of Sinai standing by his door caused him to halt.

By Ukrae, how had she known he was back?

Mistress Sinai greeted him with a smile. "You have returned?"

"How did you come to know of my imminent arrival?" he asked cautiously.

"I encountered your butler downstairs, my Lord," she replied, walking toward him. "How was your journey?"

He took a deep breath. "Exhausting. I need to rest."

"I have heard about the boy. Emerald, is that his name?"

"Emeriel," he corrected curtly. "Not that his name holds any significance to me. What is this about?"
