BOUND TO THE BEAST : CHAPTER 81 – 90
Tears streamed down his face as he struggled to get up. Through his blurred vision, he managed to make his way back to the citadel.
He stumbled, but a feminine arm wrapped around him.
“What happened to you, Prince Emeriel? Who whipped you?” came a horrified voice.
Amie’s figure appeared before him. “Amie…” he sobbed, his lips parched.
“Say nothing. You do not need to explain. I’ll take you to Madam Livia!” she said, supporting him with her arms.
Emeriel felt relieved that he did not have to find his own way.
An hour later, the pain had somewhat subsided, thanks to whatever was in the potion Madam Livia had given him.
Now, he lay on the bed, naked from the waist down, while Amie hovered nearby and the head maid mixed some leaves in a bowl.
“You should do your best to avoid Mistress Sinai, Emeriel. Do everything you can to avoid becoming her target,” Madam Livia advised.
“I had no idea she had arrived, Madam, I swear. I greeted her as soon as I realized, but according to her, it was already too late,” he recalled the searing pain of the whip slicing into his back.
Madam Livia had applied herbs to his wounds and wrapped them in cloth. Emeriel continued, “it may sound absurd, but It felt as though she specifically targeted me. I have not done anything to incur her grudge or wrath.”
Madam Livia remained silent, but Emeriel could see her mind clearly at work.
“Here, drink this,” the woman eventually said, handing Emeriel a cup filled with a bitter concoction.
His face scrunched up in response to the taste, and he promptly returned the empty wooden cup.
“Get some rest. I know you must be tired. I will inform your slave master that you have been relieved of your duties for the rest of the day.”
Emeriel’s eyes widened with surprise. “Are you allowed to do that?” he asked in disbelief. Slaves being whipped was considered normal. He had never expected to receive any respite from his duties.
“Do not worry about it. Simply get some rest,” Madam Livia offered no further explanation.
Grateful for her kindness, Emeriel thanked her. With a sigh of relief, he allowed his head to rest on the pillow and closed his eyes.
However, a thought suddenly struck him, causing his eyes to snap open. “I have been meaning to ask you for something,” he hesitated, feeling his cheeks grow warm.
“Okay, what is it?”
“I need some of those pills that can prevent pregnancy.” Emeriel’s words rushed out in a hurry. “The beast…um…You remember what happened t-that night. I need to make sure I do not…um… conceive from it or anything.”
His request was met with shocked silence. The bedchamber was filled with uncomfortable stillness.
