BOUND TO THE BEAST : CHAPTER 81 – 90
With trembling hands, Emeriel reached for Cypher’s breeches.
“Emeriel! Amie! To the cellar now!” Slave Master Boris’s voice boomed in the air.
Emeriel snatched his hands back, quickly standing up. He had never been so relieved to hear that voice before.
“We’re having fun, Boris,” Cypher growled.
“Not with my slaves, and not now. We’re short-handed. They’re needed in the cellar,” Boris firmly reinstated. “Unless you gentlemen aren’t ready to get your ales as you want them.”
Grumbling discontentedly, they released Emeriel and Amie, and the two hurried towards the cellar.
Inside, Master Gaine sat mixing drinks, his brow furrowed. “You’re late.” he snapped.
“They weren’t. The fellows wanted a piece of them,” Master Boris said before they could talk.
Master Gaine grunted and continued mixing ale with cider. “Stupid old fools. Hey, Emeriel, get in here and help with this. Amie, go out and serve more customers.”
They got to work without further delay.

“Just drop the food in and get out, Clay,” the soldier outside the metal gates of the forbidden chambers spoke to the soldier inside.
“I simply want to get a closer look at it. Besides, it is crouched lazily behind the barricade.
I have always wondered what the grand king looked like up close. Creator, his beast is magnificent.”
“You have only worked here for months. Take advice from soldiers who have been here before you—you do not want to be standing so close to that beast.”
“Pfft. It is not as dangerous as you all make it out to be, Sage. Wow, his talons are much more prominent than I’ve ever seen. Perhaps he will—” the sound suddenly cut off.
Sage turned around to face the chamber, and a chill went down his body at the sight before him.
Clay’s lifeless body lay in one corner of the chamber, while his head, torn from his neck, bled in another corner.
The beast stood at the center of the room, licking the blood off its hand.
Sage stood frozen, unable to move.
Then, the beast’s yellow eyes fixed upon him. Sage found the strength and bolted. He ran through the haunting corridors of the forbidden chambers and made his way towards Blackwood.
Just as Grand Lord Vladya had sternly instructed them to always inform him of incidents like this, Sage arrived at the ruler’s door and announced himself.
After explaining what had transpired, the grand lord, who was on his way to court, diverted.
With his soldiers trailing behind him, Lord Vladya made his way to the southern wing. “I reckon his food is already on the floor.
Have the cook serve a new meal. I want it quickly delivered in the forbidden chambers,” he ordered.
“As you wish, your highness,” the guard hastened away.
