Chapter 289 Chapter 289

Hours later, Grand Lord Vladya returned to Blackstone. As he approached the royal residence's hallway, he came to an abrupt halt.

She was there.

Ackeira stood leaning against the wall outside her sister's chamber, eyes closed. She didn't notice him.

Vladya allowed himself to look at her. Really look at her.

His chest ached at the sight, and for once, the pain had nothing to do with his bruises or the swollen eye from earlier.

She wasn't talking to him. Hadn't spoken a word to him in three days.

And she avoided him like he carried the plague.

Vladya could not blame her, but still it stung.

Then

her eyes fluttered open, and landed on him. Jerking upright, her back straightened, and she looked away immediately.

But just as quickly, her eyes flicked back to his face, her expression shifting into one of shock.

"What happened to you!?" Aekeira hurried toward him. Her brows furrowed deeply as she took him in. "Look at your face. Look at..." Her breath caught. Even now, she worried about him.

Vladya...missed this.

Her fretting. The easy smiles. The warmth in her voice directed at him.

"Is it the... you know?" Concern was etched into every line of her face. "Did you

have an episode?"

"It's not the madness," Vladya

hadn't had an episode in over a month now. The longest stretch so far.

"Then what is this..." she lifted her hand, brushing against his busted lip. Touch light, almost hesitant. Vladya didn't so much as flinch.

She could have pressed her fingers into his swollen left eye, and he wouldn't have reacted...
