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

Chapter 576: "And your name?"

"Zaiper Thoryk Dragaxlov."

"What you request is a dangerous, forbidden magic," the mage said. "Do you understand the price?"

Zaiper scoffed. "I would not seek out a dark mage if I didn't." "Mmm." The mage remained in the shadows, his back still turned.

Even after centuries of working with him, Zaiper had never seen his face. The black swirling cloak concealed everything.

"Nevertheless," the mage continued, "I must explain the consequences. A life must be given in exchange… one you hold dear."

"Razarr, bring the girl."

His head guard entered the cave, followed by two others. They dragged a young woman between them, a sack roughly thrown over her head. She whimpered and pleaded for mercy as they hauled her to the center of the cave, positioning her between the mage and the ruler.

"Here is a life," Zaiper told him.

"Who is she to you?"

"One of my best whores." Zaiper sucked his teeth. "I will have you know I enjoy this girl very much. You are taking something of value, I assure you."

The mage turned, his face hidden within his cloak. He extended a hand, a black mirror materializing in his grasp.

He held it before the girl's face, its surface sparkling before turning red.

The mage withdrew the mirror, tucking it into the folds of his cloak.

"One of which you hold dear," the figure repeated in a flat monotone.

"Fucking zombie. I do not hold people dear, I'm afraid."

"Then we are done here." The mage turned towards the cave entrance, his shadowy form beginning to melt into the darkness.

"What about the girl? And…" Zaiper paused, thinking. "I'm calling in that favor you owe me."

The dark mage stopped in his tracks. His head turned slowly. "You wish to collect now? Is this truly worth it?"

"Let's see… The only obstacle between me and my dreams will lose control of his mind again, with no choice but to satisfy his basic instincts. Going berserk, he will kill everyone who gets in his way… Hopefully, Vladya will. Then, he will end up brutalizing his Soulbond and draining her to death." Zaiper grinned wider, malice in his eyes. "I'll be hitting so many birds with one stone. Trust me, it's very worth it."

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. "It will look so natural. Everyone knows his mind is fragile; no one will ever suspect dark magic."

The mage regarded him in silence for a long moment. "You saved me when my people were going to burn me alive for practicing dark magic. And for that, I have helped you for centuries."

Zaiper gave a firm nod.
