BOUND TO THE BEAST : CHAPTER 121 – 130

Just then, a door opened, and a human maid—perhaps a slave—hurried forward. “Dinner is ready, master.”

So, a slave then. Emeriel noticed that the slaves in the household appeared to be well-dressed and healthy, unlike every other slaves.

Lord Herod turned to Emeriel. “Are you hungry?”

Emeriel nodded quickly, before he could talk himself out of it.

Lord Herod smiled, “Come, let’s go eat.”

During dinner, Emeriel began to relax.

Could it be that this lord hadn’t summoned him here for a sordid affair, where his body would be taken in exchange for keeping his secrets? It all seemed too good to be true.

“I can see your mind working,” Lord Herod remarked.

Emeriel decided to be honest. “This is not what I expected.”

“I get the idea of what you might have expected, but I want you to know that not all lords in Urai are heartless.” Emeriel tried to suppress the skepticism in his gaze, but Lord Herod noticed it nonetheless.

The lord nodded firmly. “I know it may appear that way, but not everyone is like that. The people are hurting, and they are projecting their pain onto others.”

Emeriel paused, contemplating a question that had always troubled him. Now was a good opportunity to ask. “Why should we be punished for the sins of our ancestors? Urekai treat every human as if we were the ones who invaded their land.

We shouldn’t be held accountable for the actions of others just because we belong to the same species.”

Silence fell over the table. Emeriel lowered his head, focusing on his food.

Well, now he would find out if Lord Herod was merely pretending to be kind. Knots formed in Emeriel’s stomach.

“You’re absolutely right,” Lord Herod responded, and her head snapped up in astonishment.

The lord shrugged. “It’s the truth. No one should have to pay for the sins of their forefathers.

However, Urekais have long lifespans, and unfortunately, our people hold grudges for a long time.

A human’s life is short. Fleeting. And since we still suffer from the consequences of what humans did that night, forgiveness becomes incredibly difficult.

We lost the most important person in every Urekai’s life that night—Grand King Daemonikai. He had been our grand king for over four thousand years. Our people are lost without him.”

A shiver ran down Emeriel’s spine at the mention of that name. He brushed it aside. “But what about the other grand lords? Surely one of them could take his place. Delaying the decision only prolongs the people’s pain.”

” The struggle for power lies between Grand Lord Vladya and Grand Lord Zaiper.” Lord Herod explained. “The latter is truly cruel and would not be of any help to the people.
