CROSSING THE BORDER novel Chapter 79

Rania was shocked when she learned what happened to Lula. She had met the healer a few times because of her injuries, and she liked her.

But, what shocked her the most was the cause of her death. It was because of poison. Wouldn’t it be very weird if this was a coincidence? Was this simply a coincidence?

When Maximus said that they were going back to the palace, she was very relief, because she wanted to meet with Kean, and asked her what happened. There was no way it was a coincidence, right?

“Are you, okay?” Maximus asked when they were inside the car on their way back to the palace.

“Yes.” Rania looked at the shotgun seat, Eiten was supposed to be there. “Where is Eiten?”

“He is running some errand. He will be in the palace later.”

“Oh.” And she didn’t say anything else after that.

Rania was exceptionally very quiet, and Maximus didn’t bother her because of the sad news, and how mentally exhausted she was still because of last night.

During their trip back, Rania spent her time to sleep. She didn’t have the energy to stay awake, and even when she was awake, she still pretended that she was sleeping, because her mind was wondering about all the possibilities that might happen to Lula.

Did the Movement start with their plan? But, Maximus was still fine, there was no sign that the poison worked

on him.

Once they arrived at the palace, it was sunset, the sky had turned red, like blood. Rania grimaced when she saw this, it felt like a bad omen.

“Go to your bedroom, and don’t come out.” Maximus kissed her lips before he left with Declan, who had been waiting for him, the royal beta informed him that the elders had been waiting for him.”

Rania then walked toward her bedroom, she wished Kean would come to visit her. At least, she had to come to bring her her dinner.

Therefore, when Kean came to her bedroom, she immediately approached her, and bombarded her with questions.

“What’s going on? What happened with Lula? She was poisoned… did you have anything to do with this?”

The last question broke Kean down, she almost dropped the tray in her hand when she knelt down in front of Rania, and started sobbing uncontrollably.

Rania’s heart lurched when she saw her reaction. She immediately grabbed the tray out of her hand, so it wouldn’t cause problem, since it would be a long conversation.

“Tell me, tell me what happened…? I thought you only want to kill the king?” Rania put away the tray, she talked in a very low voice, so it was only Kean, who could hear her, because out there was the warrior, who

guarded her door.

If the warrior overheard their conversation, they would be done for.

“… didn’t mean to do that… I have told him not to harm her… I am sorry…” Kean was crying, her words jumbled up, and Rania knew better than to rush her to explain what happened.

She had been in Kean’s position, where she couldn’t articulate her words perfectly, thus she was being very patience with her.

“It’s okay, tell me what happened… I will listen.”

Both of them were sitting on the floor right now, but they didn’t care the coldness, since the gravity of the situation hit both of them hard.

Through her tears, Kean then told Rania about everything. From how Lula was about to discover the poison. and how she was in panic state looking for Killian, asking for his help, because what they were doing was almost discovered by the healer.

“I have asked him not to harm her, I have asked him that, but he said not to worry…”
