“Feverfew for the head,” Madam Livia murmured, clipping the leafy plant and placing it into the basket Emeriel carried as the two of them walked through the woods. “Comfrey for wounds, valerian for sleep.”

Emeriel whistled absently, her spirits lifted by the joy of her new gift. Her Daemon had decided to keep the revelation a secret for now, at least until the Oracle could provide more insight. In his own words, “To protect my pregnant female before the people start lining up in crowds outside the residence all day to see her.

“Are you listening to me?” Madam Livia asked, narrowing her eyes in suspicion.

“Of course,” Emeriel replied with a quick smile.

The woman wasn’t fooled. “No, you weren’t. I understand how difficult it must be not to think about the Grand King every waking moment, but if you truly want to learn herbal craft, you must focus, Princess.”

Emeriel flushed, still smiling. She hadn’t been thinking about Daemonikai… not exactly.

“Now, let’s gather some valerian for-” Her words were cut short by the sharp whistle of an arrow striking her shoulder.

Madam Livia gasped and collapsed.

Emeriel didn’t have time to react before she heard another whistle headed straight for her. Acting on reflex, she snatched it mid–air, flung it aside, and spun on her heel. She ran with all her strength, driven forward by instinct.

The shot had come from far off, giving her precious seconds. She bolted between trees, using their trunks to shield her from the line of fire. But she wasn’t as fast as she used to be, one hand pressed to her belly.

“Get her! She must not get away!” a voice barked from behind. Footsteps thundered after her.

My Beloved, I need your help. My Beloved, please help me.

But even after the call, panic clung to her chest. It’s not just me anymore. She needed to protect their child until he arrived. Emeriel could not bear the thought of anything going wrong.

Twigs cracked underfoot as she pushed herself harder, lungs burning. Did Lord Zaiper send them?

Her hand smacked the rough bark of a tree to steady herself. Running wouldn’t save her; she needed to hide. Scanning the underbrush, she spotted a dense cluster of tall grass up ahead. It could be enough. She veered toward it.
