RedNovelChapter 636: Daemonikai broke the silence.
"Can Vladya recover his soul without the use of black magic?" The Oracle's expression grew somber.
"Our kind is powerful. Many things are possible-if one is willing to lose something of great value in return. It is either dark magic or magical artifacts." Daemonikai's heart sank.
"This will crush Vladya," he told her.
"He was so hopeful..." The Oracle wavered.
"There is a ritual I can attempt." "Really?" Daemonikai's gloom vanished.

"If there is a success rate, then it's a chance worth taking," Daemonikai said.
"You were the one who toldto have a little faith, were you not? I'm sure Vladya would not hesitate at all. He's cso far, and he's finally happy again. I hope what he has with Emeriel's sister lasts. If he can get his soul back, that's one less thing to worry about." "Hmm." Daemonikai's gaze darkened.
"I still cannot believe he performed Havʼzie de Baah that night. Nor can I believe the gods took but gave nothing back. His bondmate still died." The Oracle kept quiet.

"But who knows? The gods may smile upon you and bless you with another. If not now, then somewhere in the future." A daughter.
His child with Emeriel would have been... a girl.
It was a dagger to the chest.
Daemonikai looked away, willing the pain in his heart to subside. Them Oracle resumed her slow departure, and he watched her go, feeling a whirlwind of emotions.
But just as she reached the edge of the courtyard, her voice carried back to him, slightly raised but still calm. "And who said the soul exchange spell did not work, Great Grand King?" she said.
"It did. Just... not in the way Vladya expected. He will understand with time."
