Chapter 904: (END) "I'm heading to the training field. Alek is waiting for me," Scar declared, already halfway to the door.
"Mal and I will be in the library, if you need us, father," Viozzidray said.
Both siblings leaned down to kiss their mother's cheek before offering Daemonikai a respectful bow and disappearing down the hallway.
"Faval and I are going to see Lord Herodis," added Hasydan, their fifth child.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Wait." Daemonikai narrowed his eyes. "They're still bothering him, aren't they?" He crossed his arms. “I understand your interest in agriculture, but you're being a bit much. The man just had a baby with his partner- don't overwhelm him." "No, he asked us to come. We didn't insist," Hasydan quickly replied, raising his hand in surrender. "Did we, Faval?" His sixth child echoed the sentiment. "We didn't." "Are you sure?" asked Emeriel, her tone sweet but her gaze far from convinced.
"Really, mother," they said in unison.
"I don't believe you," a dry voice said from across the table. Heraxiola smiled. "Lord Herodis is too kind to them. They practically follow him around like ducklings." "Hey! Mind your own business, Princess Hera!" Faval stuck out his tongue.
"I'll beat you as soon as I get up from here," he said seriously.
"Talk, Heraxiola," Emeriel warned, wiping her mouth with the napkin. A slight smile remained on her face. "Sorry, mom." "You'll have to catchfirst,” Faval said over his shoulder as his brother dragged him away.
Heraxiola shook her head, exasperated. “Lord Herodis should set sboundaries for those two. And his partner is no better-Lady Amie lets them get away with it." "They adore them," Siesca intervened, smiling. "You should see how they behave with..." Your new favorite is galnovs"Such perfect gentlemen. You wouldn't believe they're the slittle brats." "They're your older brothers, Siesca," Daemonikai said, though he was clearly holding back a laugh.
"They're not here," she replied with a hint of defiance. "Besides, if they try anything, I'll tell Scar." Daemonikai smiled. Yes, their eldest son was well-known for his disdain toward his sisters, and everyone knew it. "Well, enough chaos for one night,” Daemonikai declared. “I'm leaving early." "But, dad!" interrupted Gaelziezora. Their youngest son, only twenty, gave him those big green eyes that could melt even the hardest stone. "What about what we talked about? You promised to helpyesterday!" "I promised you tomorrow," Daemonikai said, wagging his finger playfully.
"And tomorrow is today." "Alright, dad. Love you." Daemonikai's heart melted. “I love you too, dear." "Letguess," Heraxiola said, narrowing her eyes. "You're retiring with my mother, right?" "Of course," Daemonikai said unapologetically. He moved closer to Emeriel as she stood up, wrapping a possessive arm around her waist. "See you tomorrow." "Wait," Emeriel said, her cheeks slightly flushed but her smile radiant. She pulled away from his embrace, walked around the table, and kissed each of them.
The children stayed on the cheek, one by one. It had beca nightly ritual, and Daemonikai loved watching her do it.
And what did he love even more? That no matter how spoiled, chaotic, or rebellious his children were any given day, they never joked with their feelings, never disrespected him, nor turned their backs on him.
The affection. Everyone loved her deeply and intensely.
And for Daemonikai, that was everything.
Later that night, after their slow and unhurried lovemaking, Daemonikai lay with Emeriel curled in the crook of his arm, his fingers brushing along her back as he buried his face in her hair, inhaling her calming scent. "Have you ever looked into... um, herbs for controlling conception?" she asked, her voice drowsy yet curious. "Of course I have." He lazily patted his chest, content just to feel her softness. "I told you, the old healer is working on it." Emeriel turned her head to look at him, a shy smile on her lips. "I hope you don't mind. I mean, I'd never want to force-"
"Shhh. Relax, my radiant star. It's time." He laughed softly. "The old we'll end healer was right up creating an army if we don't start looking into methods of control." She blushed. "I thought the sthing.”
"Natural abstinence isn't an option. I can hardly keep my hands off you when you're near," he added with a growl, his voice dropping lower. "Every tI'm close to you, I want to touch you. It's safer this way-counting how many little stars we bring into the world." Her laugh was soft and golden.
She kissed him. "I love you so much."
He held her tighter. "And I love you Or coming more. Thank you for coming into my life as a brave boy...and staying in it as the strongest woman I've ever known." His voice grew firm. "I will love you for all eternity." The End.
