BOUND TO THE BEAST SEASON 2: CHAPTER 21 – 30
Grand King Daemonikai approached, his gaze locked onto her, and a hush fell over the room.
Emeriel, her legs trembling, managed a deep curtsy. “Y-Your Grace,” she stuttered, from a parched throat.
Silence met her greeting.
As she raised her eyes, she saw the grand king for the first time up close.
His face was expressionless, but those piercing green eyes scrutinized her intently.
Taking in every detail of her appearance, from the crown of her head to the tips of her toes.
Moments felt like an eternity. Emeriel was beginning to think he would not respond to her.
“You honor me with your graceful curtsy,” he spoke at last, his voice a deep, resonant baritone that sent shivers down her spine.”To whom do I owe the pleasure of her acquaintance?”
Oh, that voice.
It was even richer and more captivating than she had imagined.
He really was, without a doubt, the most handsome male she had ever encountered in a kingdom filled with good-looking males.
So striking, intimidating, and powerful—more so up close. It was the kind of face one would dare only to steal one—Or two—fleeting glance at, for fear of being caught staring.
But he had caught her.
Emeriel quickly averted her gaze, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. “Uhmm, I am…uhmm…”
“Your Grace,” Lord Herod’s voice interjected, a welcome relief to Emeriel.
He came up behind her, and bowed respectfully. “To what do I owe this great honor of your magnificent presence?”
“I came to discuss matters of importance,” Daemonikai replied, his eyes still fixed on Emeriel. “But first, tell me, Herodis, who is the lady?”
“Oh, yes, I apologize for the oversight,” Lord Herod said, his voice smooth and apologetic. “This is Eme…Princess Galelia of Rosvalley kingdom. She is my betrothed.”
Emeriel’s heart skipped a beat. She struggled to conceal her surprise. Galelia was her middle name, a secret known only to Aekeira and Lord Herod.
“And Leah, my dear,” Lord Herod continued, turning to Emeriel with a warm smile, “you are in the presence of our first and ultimate ruler, the grand king.”
Y-Your Grace, it is an h-honor to be graced with your presence.” Emeriel swallowed nervously and executed a deep curtsy, her voice trembling slightly.
“A human,” Daemonikai observed, his tone neutral. It was not a question, but a simple acknowledgment.
There was no trace of the disgust, anger, or hatred that usually accompanied such a declaration from an Urekai.
