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

Chapter 483:

“Someone tried to assassinate his Soulbond,” Aekeira choked back a sob. “I need to see her. I need to see my sister.”

Ottai led them to Frostfall’s royal residence. They entered the quiet chamber where Emeriel lay on the bed, her face pale and eyes closed. Her breathing was too faint.

Grand King Daemonikai sat beside her, his hand clasped around hers. He didn’t react when Ottai announced their arrival or when they entered the room.
