The news of the royal decrees spread through the fortress with the speed of light, likely reaching every nook of Urai as well.

For the first time in ages, the fortress lacked its usual bustling activities. Desolate, as if drained of life. The air was shrouded in a heavy blanket of mourning.

The slave masters, always wielding their whips with merciless authority, were nowhere to be seen. The maids, constantly scurrying about their duties, had vanished.

The traders, known for their incessant haggling and bartering, were absent. Even the soldiers, usually barking orders and shoving their way through the crowds, had retreated into the shadows.

Consequently, the slaves found themselves alone, restricted to their quarters.

Although the king had not been killed, everyone was already in a state of bereavement. The sense of hopelessness weighed heavily upon all. inevitability. That night, Ravenshadow Citadel was as silent as a tomb.

Emeriel sat alone in his room, struggling to hold back tears. He blinked rapidly, wiping away the tears that escaped his eyes.

His heart burned, his soul ached. Emeriel was in severe pain that no physical wound could match.

A soft knock at the door startled him. It creaked open, and Aekeira’s head peeked in. “Em?”

Emeriel hastily dried his tears. “I’m here. Is something the matter?” He avoided looking at his sister, hoping she wouldn’t come any closer.

But Aekeira noticed his discomfort. “Are you crying?” She entered the room, rounding the bed to stand before Emeriel. “You are.”

“I am fine, truly. It is just…” Emeriel sniffled, evading her probing eyes.

“It’s the beast, is it not.” It was more of a statement than a question. Aekeira sank onto the bed beside Emeriel. “Oh, Em…”

“It’s just… I’ve tried not to feel like this, you know? But I can’t help it.” Emeriel gripped his chest, squeezing it to alleviate the unbearable pressure within. “I don’t want him to die. My heart is breaking apart just thinking about it, Keira.”

Aekeira regarded Emeriel as if he had lost his mind.

Emeriel shook his head. “I knew you wouldn’t understand.”

Aekeira wrapped her arms around him, pulling him into a warm embrace. Emeriel sighed in gratitude, resting his head on her shoulder, and allowed the tears to flow freely.

“I’m so sorry you’re hurting, Em. You’re right, I don’t understand, but I’m trying to.” She ran soothing hands across his back. “It’s okay, Em. I’ve got you.”

Time passed. Emeriel remained unaware of how long he wept, but when he finally withdrew, Aekeira’s shoulder had become saturated with his tears.

His sister rose and returned with a napkin, which she tenderly handed to him. He used it to wipe away his tears and blow his nose.
