That Prince Is A Girl: The Vicious King's Captive Slave Mate Chapter 224

Emeriel moved gracefully across the room, carrying a tray loaded with vials and pouches, and placed it gently on the table at the far end.

Dressed in a luxurious red gown, her full princess regalia was on display. And Daemonikai was dumbstruck.

She was stunning.

Hell, she was more than stunning...only he couldn't find words adequate to do her justice.

There was something about her now, something that hadn't been there before.

Yes, Daemonikai had seen Galelia, and this female before him looked exactly like her, but there was something...more.

Was it the way she carried herself? A way only someone who has mastered the 'royalty poise' could manage.

"Good day, Your Majesty," she said, her voice steady as she focused on the herbs. "Madam Livia was indisposed this evening and has assigned me to deliver your medicines, I hope you don't mind?" Crossing the room to him, she held out a small cup filled with a dark, pungent liquid.

Hand-feed me, like you did when I was feral.

The words rose in his throat, but Daemonikai trapped them there. Instead, he extended his hand, accepting the cup.

But then she had been there, her heat pressing against him. Her voice a beacon in the darkness, talking to him, soothing him.
