Captive Slave 79

Chapter 79 EMERIEL

That night, after a grueling shift, Emericl was trudging back to his chambers when a breathless slave intercepted him. "Emeriel, have you heard

"Heard what?" Emeriel asked.

"Your sister- they took her to Greyrock. Guards dragged her away!"

The words hit Emeriel like a physical blow. "What?" Blood roared in his cars, drowning out everything else.

In a hurry, he sprinted towards the southern wings, directly towards Aekeira's room. But she was nowhere to be found. "Ackeira?" his voice echoed in the hollow space, each unanswered call tightening the knot of fear in his gut. Panic welled up inside him as he rushed out, determined to find his sister.

Perhaps the slave was mistaken? Ackeira couldn't have been taken to the northern wings so abruptly, could she!

Yet, despite his attempts to convince himself otherwise, a knot of dread coiled in his stomach. Lord Zaiper desired Ackeira, and this was the perfect opportunity to get to her, especially with Lord Vladya away until tomorrow.

"Gods, what do I do?" Emeriel choked out the words, trying desperately to quell his rising panic. What would be the rational course of action? He shouldn't just rush into Greyrock domain, right? Reason screamed at him to stay put. Lord Vladya had been clear that he shouldn't leave Blackstone.

But this was Ackeira they were talking about. Zaiper wasn't just cruel, he was a monster. He would subject his sister to untold suffering. A grand lord who was notorious for not only hurting slaves but also killing them.

Every instinct to protect his sister urged him forward, and despite the terror clawing at him, his feet obeyed. Emeriel sprinted towards the northern wings, knowing he was running towards the heart of danger, GRAND LORD ZAIPER

Grand Lord Zaiper stood near the dungeon entrance, his gaze locked on the girl huddled within. Even in her fear, she radiated a fragile beauty.

The prettiest little thing he had ever laid his eyes on with her. Zaiper could clearly see her appeal.
