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

Chapter 780:

Emeriel laughed, her heart full. “Oh, sure. Okay.”

Both of them walked hand-in-hand from the garden, souls light and spirits lifted, to enjoy this joyful day.

“Anything else anyone wishes to add before we call it a day?” Daemonikai rose to his feet, his voice signaling dismissal.

The court was already stirring with movement—robes rustling, chairs scraping—echoes of people ready to leave, the post-session chaos humming through the air.

“Actually, yes, Your Majesty.” High Lord Gaff stood. “It’s about the eclipse moon night.” The room fell silent.noveldrama

“I think it’s time we stop pretending it isn’t around the corner and begin making real preparations.”

“It’s been around the corner for years now, Lord Gaff,” High Lord Belzebob countered, folding his arms.

“Oh please,” Gaff shot back. “Are we truly going to pretend we haven’t noticed the repeated signs? The quarter moon has appeared more frequently in the past months than it should. No one knows exactly when it will come, but the signs are there. I believe it’s time we stop delaying and start preparing.”

Daemonikai’s good mood withered entirely. Eclipse moon night—the very words made his shoulders tense. He would rather not think of it. Not of the last one, and certainly not of the one still to come. But Gaff, as the High Lord of Ceremonial Affairs, was right. Turning their heads would not banish what waited for them.

“Sit down,” Daemonikai commanded.

Reluctantly, the council returned to their seats. And for the first time in a long while, they were going to address the elephant in the room.

“What do you have, High Lord Gaff?” Daemonikai asked.

“Thank you, Your Grace.” Gaff cleared his throat, clearly uncomfortable. “Actually, I do have a suggestion. And I must say… this is not only my opinion. A few of the other lords mentioned it, casually… while we were at the tavern, drinking.”

He looked toward the mentioned lords. Not one of them met his gaze.

A few cleared their throats. A few looked at the floor.

Daemonikai’s patience thinned. “Get on with it.”

Gaff braced himself. “Instead of facing the night alone, we thought… we should call upon the werewolves for protection. We are allies, are we not? They could safeguard us just for that night.”

Murmurs rose in the court. Some were at the ridiculousness of the suggestion, while others considered it.

“Absolutely not,” Daemonikai snapped, silencing the room. “The fewer who know of our vulnerability, the better. The humans already learned too much—and the damage they did with that knowledge was catastrophic. Yes, we now know it was one of our own who betrayed us, but that doesn’t erase the fact that many of us were slaughtered by human blades.”
