That Prince Is A Girl The Vicious King's Captive Slave Mate novel Chapter 95

Chapter 95 

GRAND LORD VLÁDYA

Grand Lord Vladya slumped in his study chair, his gaze fixed blankly on the weathered stone wall. He had sent a soldier to summon Merrilyn

The soldier’s report resounded in his skull. Lady Merrilyn has been in labor for hours, and thus unable to make the journey

The next thing to do was clear. He needed to hurry to his bloodiest before the poison reached his heart, while some strength remained, and get the muchneeded blood himself

Even if it meant a sip from a goblet, just to sustain him until the bealer arrived. Any other male in his position would have done it 

Not him

His eyes fell to the ravaged flesh on his shoulder. The wound throbbed, swollen, black veins pulsing outward, tracing a macabre path toward his heart

While hunting in the woods with his soldiers, he had spotted an assassin. He’d sent Yaz and the others ahead, then gave chase. He wasn’t surprised to learn they were targeting Emeriel

He had known yesterday’s events would put the boy in greater danger. He just hadn’t expected it to happen so soon. Was it Zaper? Or were there others

The door creaked open, and Yaz entered, his scent thick with concern. I shall hurry to Lady Merilyn’s dwelling and inform them of your poisoning, my Lord. She would bleed herself dry to save you, even amidst labor’s agony. She is unaware of the severity of your need.” 

There’s no need. Send for the healer,” Vladya dismissed with a wave of his hand

Yaz remained rooted in place, his eyes filled with stormy determination. The poison will reach your heart before the healer arrives

Just do as I said, Yaz, Vladya leaned back, his eyelids fluttered close. He was so tired

ButYaz’s protest hung heavy in the silence

In the end, however, the scrape of wood on stone marked Yaz’s reluctant departure

AEKIEIRA 

Ackeira tended her garden, the watering can a gentle weight in her hand. Sunlight dappled her skin as she moved with practiced grace, allowing a delicate stream of water to nourish the plants below

She tended to the vibrant array of flowers and vegetables. Sound of water meeting the soil brought her a sense of comfort, immersing her in the moment. Then, the sharp crack of a footstep approaching shattered her tranquility

Startled, Ackeira whirled around 

Lord Vladya’s head soldier stood rigid, his familiar face hard

Lord Vladya summons you,he stated, his voice clipped

Ackeira’s heart skipped a beat. He does?It had been two days sice that disastrous night, and she hadn’t seen him since

The soldier clenched his jaw, flicking his gaze away. Yes,he confirmed, the word edged with a strange finality. Make haste” 

Is everything alright?she asked tentatively, sensing there was mure to the soldier’s behavior

Everything is fine,he retorted, the words as sharp as a blade. Now, come.” 

Just a moment to-” 

– 

No, come at once, the soldier snapped, a hint of urgency coloring his tone

Dropping the watering can with a clatter, she removed her apron and hurried after him. Her pulse a frantic drumbeat against her ribs. What was going on

They strode towards the grand entrance, and inside the vast residence. The soldier halted before an imposing set of doors

“I will leave you here. He awaits within. Enter, he commanded, his voice devoid of warmth. Then, with a brisk turn, he was 

gone

Ackeira watched Yaz retreat, his stiff posture mirroring his master’s. Too serious, too rigid. Like master, like soldier

Her knuckles turned white as she rapped hesitantly on the wood, the sound echoing in the strained silence. With a groan of ancient hinges, the door swung inward, revealing a sliver of shadowed space 

She ventured into the study, her steps hesitant as she crossed the thresho 

nt of old parchment filling her nostrils

Your Highness?Ackeira’s voice shook despite her attempt at composure. You called for the?” 

GRAND LORD VLADYA 

Vladya’s eyes opened, like twin pools of darkness. Her scent hit him like a wave

It has always been alluring, but now, mixed with the fragrance of roses, Ackeira smelled unimaginably appealing

No,he rasped through clenched teeth, the word a jagged shard of sound

No? But your head soldier. he said—” 

Yaz? He had brought Ackeira here

A surge of fury battled the weakness coursing through Vladya’s veins. Leaning back, he shut his eyes. Leave. I did not- 

She gasped. You’re bleeding!She gasped. You’re hurt!” 

The next second, her scent engulfed him. Unbelievably close. The sweet notes of rose mingled with vanilla bean 

It is nothing,Vladya ground out through clenched teeth. “A mere scratch-The words died on his lips as the sharp rip of fabric pierced the air

Eyes snapped open, he stared at her. Ackeira had torn a strip from the hem of her dress. Her movements rushed and determined, she stepped closer, holding the torn cloth like a weapon

What madness is this?” 

We must stop the bleeding, Your Highness,” she said firmly. The improvised bandage brushed against his fevered skin, sending an unwelcome jolt through his system

The scent of her blood, sweet and heady, washed over him like breaking wave. Like a blooming field of wildflowers. His
