Instead, his face remained impassive, his voice polite.
“Yes, your Grace,” Lord Herod confirmed. “I discovered her during one of my trips to acquire more slaves. She is a Siren, and we are deeply devoted to one another.”
Emeriel nearly choked on her own saliva. Lord Herod was unaware that she was a Siren. How had he known to fabricate such a convincing lie?
The grand king gave a nod. Then, he extended his hand towards Emeriel.
She placed her own in his. A soft gasp escaped her lips as their skin made contact.
He raised her hand to his lips, his eyes never leaving hers. “You have an exquisite lady here, Lord of Agriculture.”
Emeriel felt another shiver run down her spine as his gaze lingered on her. The intensity of his scrutiny unnerved her.
“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Lord Herod bowed his head. “I hope you do not mind my asking, but to what do I owe this unexpected visit?”
King Daemonikai released Emeriel’s hand, his attention finally shifting back to Lord Herod. “You are aware of the lands beyond the Crystal Waters, are you not?
I am considering utilizing some of them for agricultural purposes. As the Lord of Agriculture, I require your expertise and collaboration on this matter.”
“It would be an honor, Your Grace,” Lord Herod’s voice was filled with surprise and enthusiasm.
“We shall discuss this in private,” King Daemonikai raised a hand to dismiss his retinue.
His soldiers, understanding the unspoken command, dispersed, strategically positioning themselves throughout the house and its surrounding grounds.
Lord Herod turned to Emeriel. “Go and admire those lanterns we spoke of, my dear. I need a moment alone with the king.”
To King Daemonikai, he gestured towards the familiar corridor. “My study is this way, Your Grace.”
But, the grand king did not immediately follow.
Instead, his piercing gaze settled on Emeriel once more, holding her captive.
For a moment, Emeriel could not bring herself to move, unable to break free from his magnetic pull.
Ever since he had entered the room, a swarm of butterflies had taken flight in her stomach. Fluttering with increasing force under those piercing green eyes.
Her body tingled with warmth, her face flushed with a sudden heat. She managed another curtsy, her movements stiff and awkward, before turning and forcing her feet to carry her away.
