When Vladya sighted him, he signaled to Yaz, who immediately continued giving instructions to the soldiers, before striding toward him.

Something in his face made Vladya wary at once. “Are you well?”

“When am I ever?” Daemonikai turned on his heel and began to walk. “It’s coming again, soon. Tonight.”

Vladya did not ask the usual, Are you sure? “I’ll have Yaz prepare the chamber.”

“The voices have been relentless,” Daemonikai ground out. “This one will be stronger.”

Vladya stopped. “Daemon.”

He halted as well, turning to face his old friend. There was no mistaking the pity in Vladya’s eyes.

“How do you bear it?” Vladya asked at last in a low tone. “It cannot be easy. Knowing your pregnant female believes you are bedding others, sick with sorrow over it. Enduring the voices at every hour. Fighting to separate their lies from truth. Being unable to let go and truly enjoy the child you have always longed for because you are terrified of hurting it. Investigations crawling at a snail’s pace, the Oracle’s absence from Urai.”

Daemonikai said nothing. The clang of weapons and barked orders filled the quiet stretching between them.

“I don’t know how much longer I can do this,” he revealed in a fractured voice. “Every day feels like I’m walking a blade’s edge, one step away from falling over completely. The urge does not stop at blood and sex, Vladya, I want to kill and destroy. I want to ride into one of my villages and burn it to the ground just to hear dying screams.”

Vladya listened without flinching. No judgment, only understanding.

“Perhaps Zaiper was right. Perhaps I will always be the Mad King.”

“Zaiper is a bastard, and if he is truly behind this, we will nail him!” Vladya hissed.

You should be fucking her every chance you get, preparing her body for the birth of your child, as the connection forged during intimacy aids with delivery.
