56 vos hers

“The rumor…” Rania wanted to tell him that the rumor was not true, but she couldn’t get the word out of her mouth. She hated it whenever she was not able to articulate her words clearly, and they were stuck in her throat, “I didn’t…”

Rania wanted to tell him that she had never wanted Caden. She accepted the rejection right away. She didn’t even want him to touch her again.

But, the words stuck in her throat, and she couldn’t get them out. She became frustrated, and tears fell on her cheeks.

Maximus frowned when he saw this strong reaction, he scratched his head, and sighed loudly in frustration, which only made the words disappeared from Rania’s tongue. She couldn’t speak.

“I will ask someone to walk you back to your room after you get your breakfast.” Maximus stood up. He was suppressing his displeasure and anger.

He needed to leave, because if he stayed a little bit longer, he was going to explode, and obviously, it was not a smart move to scare her even more.

And with that, Maximus left Rania, without hearing her explanation. It was not like she was going to say anything, when her tongue failed her.

In her frustration, Rania cried silently. She wanted to tell him that was not true, that she had never harbored any feeling for Caden.

However, what was the point of it? There was no guarantee he would believe her over those people, who had wronged her, and talked so badly about her.

If

any case, her explanation would look like an excuse, and he might despise her, thinking that she was lying.

Rania covered her face with both of her palms, and cried without sound. She felt wronged.

Two hours later, someone brought her breakfast. It was Kean, she stayed with her there, and after Rania was done with her food, she showed her to her bedroom.

Kean seemed to want to say something, but seeing the look on Rania’s face, she held herself back, and kept quiet tactfully.

Once Rania entered the room, she collapsed on the bed, she was exhausted. The tension with the king this early morning, after the pain from the previous night was too much for her to handle.

And with tired mind and body, Rania slipped into a deep sleep. This time, she didn’t have a nightmare. She didn’t even have enough strength to dream of anything.

***

The king had been in a very bad moon in the past three days, ever since what happened to Rania. He would come to the training ground every day, and trained with the warriors.

However, for the warriors, it was a torture. Many of them had to stay in the infirmary, because the king was too savage with them. He attacked with the intention to kill them all.

Thankfully, none of them lost their lives, yet.

She was too engrossed with her warm water, and the fact that she had peaceful days without the king in sight.
