Rania ended up spending her time in the infirmary to learn more about the medicine because she was surrounded by books. There were a few notes from Karin and Lula on every page of the book, indicating that they had read them a few times.
“You should be resting, my lady,” Karin said when she saw Rania was perusing yet another notes. She had asked her to sleep, but she refused to listen.
Instead, Rania asked more and more question about the medicinal herbs. She was very interested in it. Unfortunately for her, she was not a healer, so she couldn’t use healing ability.
Later that night when Rania returned to her bedroom, she felt there was something missing. The room was quieter and the bed felt empty.
She had gotten used to have Maximus on her bed, since he was sick, that was why when she looked at the bed, she felt this emptiness slowly crept in.
Would he come to her bedroom tonight? He did that a few days straight before.
Or he would be too busy to take care of the problem in the palace, so he wouldn’t have time to be with her….
The thought only made Rania became even more depressed, because she didn’t want to have this feeling. It felt like she betrayed herself for wanting him.
Why would she want someone who had hurt her?
Yet, the other part of herself answered that; She had hurt him too. She had to take accountability for that.
Rania lay down on the bed, she hugged the pillow closed to her chest. Her neck was hurt, a reminder of Maximus’s cruelty.
Even though he was not the one, who had injured her, but she was hurt because of him. Still, she didn’t feel like she was able to hate him.
In her twisted mind, Rania didn’t hate the idea of it.
After all, it had been so long. She didn’t even remember when the last time someone stood up for her. She couldn’t recall there was someone, who would go extra length to defend her. Not even her father, not anyone else…
Yet, Maximus did it.
Yes, he killed someone for it, but they should expect that, right? After all, they were dealing with the Mad King.
It felt… good, to have someone, who was very angry on her behalf, because she was too scared to show her
emotions.
Would this make her… bad also?”

Chapter 141
Rania didn’t know. She didn’t even want to think about it. She buried her face against the pillow and tried to sleep, but it didn’t come so easily to her, as Maximus’s scent still lingered.
She breathed in it deeply.
She waited, just in case he would come later that night like he used to do, but even after midnight had passed. there was no sign that he would come over.
Exhausted, Rania finally felt asleep. She wondered what Maximus was doing right now.
In her dream, she saw a white wolf.
“I pledge my loyalty to you, my king. I will offer my life to you and the queen,” alpha Letto said solemnly. fearfully. He pressed his forehead against the floor, begging the alpha for forgiveness for what he he done.
He stayed in the palace, instead of running away to his pack when he got a chance, because elder Gayle advised him to do this.
After all, even if he managed to reach his pack, he wouldn’t be able to escape his death if the king determined to end his life.
If anything, the king might send his royal warriors to kill him, and attack his pack once they were done with the Black Stone pack and all the rebel packs.
Therefore, he listened to elder Gayle’s suggestion and show his good intention.
However, it was not less unnerving for him. The king was sitting on his throne. He said nothing, and simply glared at him.
Letto remembered how alpha Dylan was too stunned to do anything in the end of his life, as he was astounded by the king’s powerful presence.
That was the only power that the royal family held. They could make them stop thinking for a brief second.
A second that determined your life and death.
