That Prince Is A Girl The Vicious King's Captive Slave Mate by Kiss Leilani

Chapter 235

"Frustrated about my Daemon's return?"

Zaiper's expression darkened. "I don't know why he refuses to stay dead." His thrusts became sharper, angrier. "Twice now, he's wrestled with the impossible and won. Who walks through the valleys of death and comes out alive?" "Perhaps a righteous male," Sinai teased, her lips quirking.

Zaiper shot her a glare. "You're not funny."

"Apologies, Your Highness," she replied smoothly, arching a brow. "It was only a joke."

"As I said, there's"-thrust-"nothing"-agressive thrust-"funny"-thrust-"about it." he punctuated with more brutal thrusts.

The girl screamed, then passed out beneath him.

"Finally, some peace and quiet," he grunted, stepping back to survey her unconscious form with a look of annoyance. "Every time things start going my way, something switches, and I'm back at square one. It's infuriating."

Pausing, Sinai glared at her nails. "It's all Emeriel's fault," she said resentfully. "That little human is a thorn in the flesh. She even saved my Daemon from your assassin, remember?"

"Oh, I remember," he sneered, venomously.

"Maybe you should take her out. She will be a far easier target."

"I'd do that, but Ottai's out for my blood. He'd sing like a canary to the court if harm came to the brat." Zaiper mimicked, his tone dripping with disdain.

"That doesn't mean you can't do it, Sinai." He stared at her. "Enough with the childish back-and-forth with her. Strike head-on-poisoned food, poisoned arrows. You won an archery game a millennia ago, didn't you? You are good with arrows." Sinai's lips curved slightly. Good was an understatement.

Though she hadn't taken aim in a long time, one of the perks of a long life was time for endless hobbies. Archery had been one of hers, once. "I might actually do it."

Zaiper came with a blissed-out groan. Sinai could imagine his knot extending, locking him to the unconscious girl.

"You should," he urged with a satisfied gruff, falling atop the girl. "Use poisoned arrows. Do it from afar and leave no trace. Make sure the poison is rare enough that the antidote might as well be in another universe. Fire as many arrows as you can ensure she dies on the spot. Her death first, consequences later."
