“What did you say?” Maximus narrowed his eyes at his royal beta. He stopped choking him, and lessened the pressure on his neck slightly, so he could breathe again.
“Pregnant… Rania is pregnant…” Eiten said quickly, he breathed the air greedily. He thought he was going to die in Maximus’s hand. Well, he might as well be dead, because the way Maximus glared at him, it felt like the devil itself was staring at him straight from hell.
“No. She is not.”
“Karin has confirmed that,” Eiten said. He was still on alert, because even though Maximus had loosened up his grip around his neck, his hands still wrapped there. It only took a second burst of anger to snap his neck. “Rania is pregnant and she is a bad condition. We need to get her out of there.”
Maximus’s expression didn’t change, and it was hard to tell what was in his mind at this moment. He froze, and Eiten was too afraid to make a sudden move, just in case he decided he was too noisy and then end his life right there and then.
But slowly, the king got off his body, and then sat down next to his royal gamma.
There was a long moment of silence before Maximus finally spoke again. “How bad her condition is?”
“Karin said, she needs immediate care. She doesn’t have his wolf spirit, so her body can’t heal as fast as the shifter. If we let her be, she is going to die, so did the baby.”
Eiten sat down and then looked at Maximus. His expression was still unreadable, but his gaze faltered. It must be hard for him to accept this reality.
“So, what are you going to do, Max?” Eiten tried to advise him. “She is having your child, Max. I came to the dungeon to know more about what happened, because if you think about it again, you can see that she stopped poisoning you long time ago. She had a change of heart. She made a mistake, but so did you.”
“Leave.”
Eiten thought, he was going to get him, but when Maximus told him to leave, he knew that he was far from being able to get him.
However, Rania’s condition was critical, and he couldn’t leave her like that. “What about Rania?” Eiten asked when he already reached the door. He didn’t want to be strangled again.
He was not sure, he was going to survive that for the second time.
“Leave.”
Maximus didn’t give him the answer, and Eiten knew he couldn’t pursue him anymore for answer, because the king might as well explode again.
Therefore, he left the room, and then went to the dungeon to check on Rania’s condition. Karin was still by her side, taking care of her, but from the look of it, Rania’s condition only got worse.

“Can we move her now?” Karin asked, she was scared. She was not clear why Rania was here, and why the king was enraged. What kind of wrongdoings that this woman had committed to incur the king’s wrath.
However, if Rania was kept here, Karin wouldn’t be able to save the baby, and by proxy, the mother would die too. Having a miscarriage on top of this would only worsen her condition and send Rania to her early grave.
