BOUND TO THE BEAST : CHAPTER 91 – 100

The forbidden chambers lay within that second hallway. Goosebumps prickled his arms. Bloody hell. Of all places, why here?

Just clean that hallway as quickly as possible and be done with it. The sooner, the better.

Emeriel tightly grasped his broom, crafted from bundled twigs, and resumed his work. The bristles swept across the cold stones, stirring up clouds of dust.

As he progressed, he used the pieces of clothing; dusting and cleaning as he went along.

Upon reaching the forbidden chambers, he halted. The first thing he noticed was the absence of soldiers.

Why was this place so deserted?

It was morning, Grand Lord Vladya was in court, so there was no reason for the soldiers to be absent. And what about the trays of untouched food strewn across the floor?

Perhaps the beast had been relocated?

Emeriel couldn’t resist. His legs moved instinctively until he arrived at the imposing metal gates. A gasp escaped him and he took two steps back at the sight before him.

The oak door stood wide open, and behind it, the beast’s eyes locked onto Emeriel.

“I could leave,” he whispered aloud, “I could depart from this hall and pretend I had already completed my cleaning.”

However, when he surveyed his surroundings, any hope of leaving vanished.

The two paintings hanging on the walls were coated in dust. The stone wall required thorough wiping.

The lion head at the end of the hallway appeared equally neglected. And the floor itself…

He nervously bit his lip, stealing another glance at the beast.

It remained motionless, its gaze fixed on him. Its once-lazy yellow eyes now wide open.

Emeriel waited and waited, but when it became evident that the beast would not attack him, he started to relax.

He commenced his cleaning.

Throughout the process, he intermittently stole glances at the beast.

Apart from those piercing yellow eyes tracking his every move, there was no other movement.

It reached a point where he nearly forgot about the ferocious creature behind those gates and became engrossed in his work.

The swishing of brooms and the occasional clink of metal against stone filled the air.

“What are you doing here, slave? Do you have a death wish?”

Emeriel’s head snapped up. An Urekai soldier stood before him, glaring. “I was assigned to clean this hall.”
