RedNovelChapter 726: Emeriel lowered her gaze, sniffling quietly.
"No, you don't understand," Emeriel insisted, frantic.
"We had an arrangement. We agreed he would be..." She swallowed hard.
"He would be... with her." "You didn't wish for him to risk an episode or worse, lose himself to madness, so you agreed he should satisfy both needs with his bloodhost. Is that correct?" Lord Vladya asked.
Emeriel nodded, shoving away her shand despair.

"None of this makes sense. Even just nights ago, he..." "He did not do it," Vladya said flatly, holding her eyes.
"He tried, but he could not bring himself to it, Emeriel. Your male has not lain with a female in months." Once again, she could not breathe. For a split second, she thought she was having another attack. But then it released in a shuddering breath.
What did it say about her that, instead of feeling horror for what he had endured-hiding such suffering from her for over four months-the first thing she felt was relief? What kind of terrible person was she that hope, happiness, and relief were dancing in her chest? Her tears charder, falling without end as she slumped against the wall.
"I'm a horrible mate. This is all my fault." "Hey." Lord Ottai moved in front of her, all of his usual levity gone. He looked every bit the Grand Lord he was. "Look at me. Never-do you hear me? Never blthis on yourself." "You don't understand," she choked.
"Something is wrong with me. I'm broken, somewhere inside, like a ragged doll. Since that night... I have wanted him. I want him so much... and yet I cannot..." She could barely bring herself to say it. It hurt more than she thought it would.
"I can't bear it when he tries. It's like I shatter, every time." Lord Ottai took her by the shoulders.
"Vladya and I were there that night, remember? We lived through every moment of what happened, and sometimes, I still hear your screams.” His thumb brushed a tear from her cheek.
"If I, who have lived through so many horrors in my long life, cannot forget... how could you?" Emeriel lowered her gaze, sniffling quietly.
"You are not broken. There is nothing wrong with you." He waited until her eyes found his again before he went on.
The rest on glov "You're one of the strongest beings I have ever met. Stronger than many of our females combined. You have done what others have crumbled attempting to do, walked paths others died to walk." His hands squeezed her shoulders.
"You, Emeriel Galilea Evenstone, have made impossibilities possible. How could you look upon yourself and see anything less than a warrior, a survivor?" Her lips trembled. She hated how much she needed to hear those words, hated that she clung to them, yet she couldn't help herself.

They glanced at the Grand Lord, who stood leaning against the walbarms crossed. He gave a single, decisive nod. Lord Ottai turned back to her.
"And Daemonikai?" He gave a faint huff.
"Everyone sees the way he looks at you, like you are the most precious thing Ukrag ever carved. That male sees you as the brightest star in a sky full of them." Something inside her unwound.
"He does refer toas a star," she admitted, her cheeks coloring faintly. The fourth ruler chuckled.
"I'm sure he does."
