Grand King Daemonikai stopped himself, studying the Oracle’s expression. The regret in her eyes was answer enough. “Let me guess. You cannot tell me.” The last shred of hope slipped from his grasp.
The Oracle’s grip tightened on her staff. “I’m afraid this is something you must figure out on your own, Great Grand King.” Daemonikai’s lips pressed into a thin line, his frustration showing.
Ahead, Emeriel grabbed Ackcira from behind, catching her off guard and sending her basket flying, its contents scattering across the grass.
Aekeira let out a startled yelp that quickly melted into full–blown laughter, accompanied by a fit of giggles.
“They are always so happy,” he murmured. “As if they have never lived a nightmare.”
The Oracle followed his gaze. “Their light shines so brightly, I doubt it could ever be extinguished. Princess Emeriel is much more than just a Syren, Soulbond, and Grand Queen. She has dormant powers.”
His brow furrowed. “Powers?”
“More like a gift,” she clarified. “She was created with them–tied to your bond with her. They were supposed to awaken when the two of you finally, wholeheartedly come together to give your bond a chance. Only now, your bond is…”
Powers? What kind of gift? Questions flooded his mind.
The Oracle turned, beginning to walk again, and Daemonikai fell into step beside her.
“I may not be able to tell you much about your condition, but I can tell you this–keep that princess as close to you as possible. And keep fighting for what you have,” she glanced at him. “Who knows? You may triumph in the end.”
By the time they reached the meadows, the daylight has reduced drastically. The wind was softer here, carrying the scent of blooming flowers.
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. “That would be-”
“The success rate is really low. Perhaps twenty percent,” she interrupted firmly.
“If there is a success rate, then it’s a chance worth taking,” Daemonikai said. “You were the one who told me to have a little faith, were you not? I’m sure Vladya would not hesitate at all. He’s come so 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.”

Chapter 304
The Oracle kept quiet.
Only after a long pause did she speak. “The world is not always as black and white as it seems, Grand King.”
Daemonikai rolled his eyes.
“I’m afraid this is where we part ways, Your Majesty.” The Oracle said as they reached the towering entrance gates of the
fortress.
Daemonikai halted as she did. “Thank you for stopping by. And… for waking.”
The old woman inclined her head, her silvery hair catching the last rays of the light. She turned to leave, but hesitated.
“Her next heat is close,” she said suddenly, those black–and–gold eyes pinning his. “Very close. A mini–heat, but may be as agonizing as a full one. If not more.”
Daemonikai tensed. That had been weighing on his mind too, more than he let on.
The thought of Emeriel suffering through something worse than her full heat two years ago bothered him greatly…
The Oracle pinned him with a serious look. “Listen to her body. Notice even the smallest detail. Then listen to your own, and simply be you. That is the only way you can help her.”
She had just spoken something she should not have said.
