BOUND TO THE BEAST : CHAPTER 31 – 40

“I will attend to it. Thank you, soldier,” Livia replied promptly. The sound of retreating footsteps filled the air.

“What is Blackstone?” Emeriel asked.

“It is the domain of Grand Lord Vladya. He governs the western wing of this estate, and his residence is located there,” Livia explained. In a quieter tone, she added, “I wonder why he wishes to see me.”

Emeriel wiped his eyes and swallowed hard. “Do you think it’s about my sister?”

Madam Livia ignored that, “You may leave now. I have already informed Slave Master Gaine that you will be working in the cellar for the time being. Expect the soldiers to arrive soon.”

A cellar slave? It wasn’t ideal, but it could have been worse. “Very well. Thank you, Madam Livia, for everything,” he responded softly as he rose to take his leave.

“Emeriel?”

He turned back, his gaze fixed on her. “Yes, Madam?”

Livia hesitated. “I would not hold out hope regarding Aekeira.”

When she offered no further words, tears once again sprang to Emeriel’s eyes,and he couldn’t hold back a sob.

He had dreaded the thought, refusing to entertain it. But deep down, he knew he had been fooling himself.

He had a bad feeling about this. Emeriel walked blindly to his chambers and locked the door behind him.

Collapsing onto the floor, he began to weep uncontrollably, his sorrow overwhelming him.

Three days had passed, and Emeriel was relocated to the slave quarters in the south wing.

The room allocated to him was tiny and devoid of any comforts, featuring only a small bed tucked away in one corner.

Thankfully, Madam Livia had managed to get him overalls that covered his entire body, sparing him from the simple tunics, loincloths, or trousers typically worn by slaves.

As evening descended, marking his first day as a cellar slave, Emeriel secured a wrap-bandage around his chest and dressed in his work clothes.

He proceeded to tie his hair up in a ponytail. He hadn’t seen or heard anything about Aekeira.

Whenever he broached the subject with Livia, she would change the topic.

Emeriel vehemently refused to believe that his sister was dead and her body discarded. At least during the day.
