“Kean, please tell me, who else the people that involved with the Movement,” Rania pleaded with her. “We can go to the king, and ask for lenience. Please, this will not end up good. You will not succeed in getting Maximus down from his throne. He has Caden now, alpha Caden is one of the instigator, right?”
Kean didn’t answer her question, instead she stared at Rania incredulously, as if she had committed a huge
crime.
“I am not going to tell you a damn thing,” Kean replied harshly. She seemed to be ready to sacrifice herself for her vengeance.
However, Rania didn’t want her to do that. “Kean, please look at the situation right now, it doesn’t benefit you in the long run if you died. Will the people in the Movement save you if it goes down into that path.”
Kean’s expression then turned sad. “I don’t expect them to save me, even if I have to die, I will die with a fulfill heart, because I know I die for a great reason.”
Rania was speechless, she didn’t know what else to say to her, because she sounded very out of touch from reality.
“Kean, Maximus has captured Caden and my father, whatever the plan that the Movement has, it needs to be postponed.” Rania didn’t want to lose Kean, if things went wrong, Kean would be exposed. She didn’t mind if Maximus killed Killian, she would gladly accept that, but not Kean. “Please, I want you to live.”
“If I have to live another day to be part of this palace, I don’t want it.” Kean’s eyes hardened, there was strong emotions and also resolution that you could feel from her. “I want him dead.”
Rania immediately knew that there was nothing else she could do to solve the situation. They were doomed to walk in different path.
“I am sorry, it will have to end like this, my lady.” Kean looked genuinely sad. “The time that I spent with you. was precious, and I will forever cherish it.” She gulped down with difficulty.
Rania felt her heart was so heavy, she looked at Kean, and then nodded. She didn’t know what to say at moment like this, because it was very obvious that they were not going to be friend anymore.
It had been so long since Rania had a girl as her friend, or friend in general, therefore it hurt her deeply.
However, before Rania could leave the room, they both heard the commotion from outside, and then someone knocked on the door.
Both Rania and Kean looked at each other, because they were not sure whether or not to open the door, since it seemed, there was something major was going on out there.
“Open the door. It’s the palace warrior.”
Rania frowned, but she walked to open the door. “What happened?” She asked, and the warrior was flustered because he found Rania was there.
“My lady,” the warrior greeted her, bent his body slightly to give her the respect that she deserved, and then
he explained why he was there, also what happened. “We need to check the room to find a harmful substantial.”
Kean’s heart beat so fast when she heard that, and Rania caught up with the predicament. She turned around to look at Kean, and her heart lurched to her stomach, because her worse guess was right; Kean kept the poison bottles inside her bedroom.
However, before Rania could regain her bearing, the warrior had stepped inside the bedroom. “Excuse me,” he said.
