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

Chapter 779: "Only a matter of time," Vladya echoed, though quieter. "We just have to pray the Oracle survives. The ritual can only continue if she does."

Daemonikai gave another solemn nod. The Oracle was still fighting for her life. Bringing Zaiper's sins to light had shattered seventy bones in her body. It was the first and most extreme case of its kind. Some had already lost hope, but Daemonikai refused to give up.

He had summoned the oldest and most skilled healers, the best shamans across Urai and beyond. For two months, they had tried every method: treatments, blood rituals, and enchantments. But still, her self-healing abilities had not activated. Without that, her bones would remain unhealed, and she could not survive.

A week ago, one of the elder shamans had formally requested permission to perform the Happy Repose ceremony-a ritual meant to ease a soul into the afterlife. Daemonikai had denied it.

He would not surrender her to death. Not yet.

Aekeira was in the gardens when she saw her.

She dropped the watering can the moment Emeriel stepped through the archway. "Em? I've been waiting for you! I needed to show you-" But before she could finish,

Emeriel walked straight into her sister's arms, pulling her into a tight hug, as close as their protruding bellies would allow.

"Keira," Emeriel whispered into her sister's neck, "I'm so happy."

Aekeira's arms circled her instantly. "Oh, honey…"

"Everything is okay in my world again." Joy made her voice shake.

Aekeira pulled back slightly, her hands cupping Emeriel's face, a wide smile breaking across her features. "Oh my gods, Em, you have no idea how happy I am to hear that." She blinked rapidly. "So you were able to-"

Stay tuned for more g????lnoνe????s.cöm

Emeriel's radiant smile answered everything. "Oh yes." She was glowing now, utterly beaming. "Last night… and this morning. Keira, it was beautiful. The most beautiful."

A relieved laugh burst from Aekeira as she pulled her in again. "You don't know how worried I've been these past few months. I didn't want to pressure you or speak on it too much, but gods, Em… I was afraid. That maybe you two wouldn't overcome it. That you might go through this whole pregnancy without that intimacy, without that closeness returning…" She held her tighter. "But it happened at last, I'm so glad. You two are back, stronger than ever."

Emeriel clung to her. "And our bond is back," she whispered into her sister's shoulder. "I feel him again, Keira. I feel us."

Aekeira's arms tightened, her voice choked. "Then all really is right in your world again." She kissed Emeriel's temple. "Congratulations, my dear sister."

"Thank you…"

Lacing their fingers together, Aekeira tugged her. "Forget working today, let's spend the day relaxing, celebrating this miracle. Just you and me."
