BOUND TO THE BEAST : CHAPTER 121 – 130

Two days later, Emeriel followed the directions provided by the lord. When he arrived at the gate, he introduced himself before the gates opened for him.

The household worker who led him towards the front porch was surprisingly friendly and talkative.

By the time the human male left Emeriel by the door, Emeriel already knew the name of the lord who had summoned him—Lord Herod, the noble lord of agriculture. Lord Herod was widowed and over seven hundred years old.

Now, Emeriel stood hesitantly against the door, his hand raised and suspended in the air.

𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑑 𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠, 𝐸𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑙. 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑑 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑝.

However, he could not ignore the summons forever. The lord had only given him four days, and two of them had already passed.

What would happen if those four days expired? Emeriel shuddered at the thought.

Before his wandering mind could dissuade him, Emeriel knocked on the door.

The door was opened by a butler. Emeriel stated his reason for being there, and a maid emerged to lead him further into the house.

“The master will see you shortly,” the maid said before leaving him in a waiting area with a wooden bench, directly across from a large oak door.

Emeriel grew increasingly restless as he waited. He felt anxious, and began to think that Lord Herod had forgotten about him. But just as he was losing hope, the door opened, and Lord Herod stepped out.

“Come in,” Lord Herod ordered, retreating back into the room. “Emeriel, is it?”

“Yes, my lord,” Emeriel replied.

Lord Herod stopped in the center of the library, turned to Emeriel, and gave a small smile. “I have been expecting you.”

“I apologize for answering your summons late, my lord.” 𝑊ℎ𝑦 𝑤𝑎𝑠 ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝐸𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑙 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑗𝑢𝑚𝑝 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑜𝑓 ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑠𝑘𝑖𝑛 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑦?

Lord Herod nodded. “Do not be so frightened, Emeriel. I did not summon you here today to harm or threaten you.

If I wanted Urai to know about an incredibly beautiful girl disguised as a male in the Ravenshadow Citadel Fortress of Great Power, the grand lords would have already taken action against you. But that is not my intention.”

“Oh… Thank you, my lord.” Emeriel didn’t feel relieved. What was the catch? What would this lord do to him?

The lord scrutinized him carefully with his eyes. His lips curled up again, and he spoke, “Come. I want to show you something.”

Emeriel followed him out of the study, and together they walked down the hall. The house servants were nowhere to be seen, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

As they turned a corner, a large painting of a woman caught Emeriel’s attention. When they reached it, Lord Herod stopped.
