StarNovelChapter 643: Emeriel was in her space in an instant, pressing the back of her hand to Aekeira's forehead.
"Why didn't you say something?!" "It's not a big deal," Aekeira protested weakly.
"I can ask Madam Livia for sherbs when we get back." "No way," Emeriel took her hand.
"We're going back now." Striding quickly and purposefully, she guided Aekeira back toward Ravenshadow. By the tthey reached the gates, Aekeira's breathing had grown uneven, and sweat glistened on her forehead, matting her hair to her skin. Emeriel helped her into her chambers, laying her gently on the bed and tucking the sheets around her.
"I'll get Madam Livia," she said hurriedly.

She scratched her itching arms all the way, stopping the maids and slaves along the way, asking if they had seen Madam Livia.
Finally, one of them pointed her toward the royal kitchen.
Emeriel rushed in, her breath coming in short gasps, and found the older woman bent over a table, rummaging through bundles of dried herbs.
"Madam Livia! Madam Livia!" she called, breathless.
At the urgency in her voice, the headmaid straightened at once, alert.
"Is something the matter, princess?" "You have to come. My sister... I don't know what's wrong," Emeriel's words tumbled out in a rush.
"Let's go," Madam Livia hurried after Emeriel.
When they reached Aekeira's chambers and pushed the door open, Emeriel stopped short, her heart lurching in her chest. The bed was empty.
"Kiera!?" Panic sharpened her voice as her eyes darted wildly around the room.
"Kei-" A pained moan echoed from across the room.
Rushing toward the sound, Emeriel found Aekeira crumpled on the ground, curled tightly into herself, her body wracked with tremors.

"I brought Madam Livia—Keira, you're burning up! What's happening?" Aekeira's eyes fluttered open, and Emeriel stopped breathing.
A furious, bloodshot red stained the center of Aekeira's iris.
Full heat.
"I don't... feel so... good at all," Aekeira rasped, sweat pouring off her inm streams, soaking through her clothes. "I feel like... I'm burning up... from the inside."
"We have to get Grand Lord Vladya right now!" Emeriel shouted, turning to Madam bivia, unable to hide the Madambiwa terror in her own eyes. "Aekeira is going into full heat!" "What!?" Madam Livia's eyes widened in astonishment.
In a flurry of movement, she rushed out the door, shouting for the nearest soldier.
Emeriel heard her bark orders: "Go to Mabblewood and tell Grand Lord Ottai to send a messenger bird to Grand Lord Vladya immediately! And fetch Amie at once!"
