Chapter 279

Sinai’s curiosity was piqued. “Tell me.”

“I’m not going to,” Zaiper stated calmly. “You are behind bars, Sinai. No one knows what kind of mental torture ‘your Daemon‘ might inflict upon you when he finally gives you the time of the day, and the secrets you might be tempted to reveal just to gain your freedom and stay in his good graces” His sharp gaze pierced hers, assessing her reaction.

Sinai shifted uncomfortably under his scrutiny. That sounded… disturbingly like something she would do.

“I would never spill our secrets,” she said defensively, her voice a little too high.

“Of course you wouldn’t. Because if you did, I would assassinate you in here myself,” Zaiper said in the same smooth tone one might use to discuss the weather. “I would poison you with the most excruciating poison ever made, one that would guarantee a quick but incredibly painful death.”

She blanched. A chill crawled down her spine.

“I only dropped by to tell you this,” he continued with an easy smile. “I know you’re intelligent beneath all that rage and anger, so use your brain wisely, Sinai. You are vulnerable here. There’s no place to run. Don’t give me a reason to kill you.”

“This is completely unnecessary,” she mumbled, avoiding his eyes. “W–why would I accuse you of something so absurd without any clear evidence? You could easily deny it and have me sentenced to death. I’m not stupid.”

“See? Smart.” Zaiper stepped back. “Now that we have established that, try to be patient. You may be suffering, but take comfort in the fact that no real punishment will come your way. After all, you are not just any bloodhost, you’re his bloodhost.”

He continued. “Daemonikai is strong, with more self–control than most, but no one can resist the blood of a bloodhost for long. Sooner or later, he will reach his limit. Although, with what I have in mind, he would regret not drinking from you sooner.”

Her ears perked up with interest. “Please tell me this plan, I’m so curious.”

“Let’s just say, Emeriel will be dying in her Soulbond’s hands really soon,” Zaiper drawled, grinning. “This plan is foolproof. No one can interfere with it.”

Sinai couldn’t resist a jab. “Well, except for the Oracle.”

Zaiper’s face paled.
