Chapter 729: Emeriel caught sight of Vladya's back as he walked in the opposite direction, leaving a trail of blood in his wake.
"Oh Gods..." Her hand flew to her mouth.
A strong hand covered her eyes.
"Do not look," Lord Ottai said, guiding her forward.

Emeriel had spent all night telling herself that whatever she found in that chamber would not affect her. The Mistress knew the risks, and she had brought it upon herself. Yet now, her heart felt as heavy as lead.
"Is she... dead?" "Don't let this trouble you. Sinai is Urekai. She knew what she was walking into; she made her choice." Lord Ottai sounded angry. Emeriel swallowed.
"I know, but is she dead?" "Well, I don't know, but she's in a bad condition. The beast tore her up badly." The distant cry of gulls on the wind filled the silence.
The fourth ruler's ears twitched.
"Vladya calls me." He turned on his heel.

"It's the only reason I can fathom, no matter how absurd. The male has not shown interest in bondmates or offspring in millennia." "A male who never ceases to boast of his love for variety, yet he did this. We may not know his motive, but when he is captured, he will damn well tell us."

"This eyewitness will need to stand before the court and repeat all of this.
Many speak boldly in private, yet court, when summoned to court, their m courage often fails... and their offer statements shift. We cannot risk that. Have the male prepared to meetafter the festival. I want him standing before me, looking into my eyes as he repeats every word of his testimony." Vladya's dry chuckle followed him.
"If he does not faint from terror. Or, worse, retract his claim, thinking he's about to be punished for daring to n.
speak. Best I handle it." Daemonikai arched a brow.
