<b>Chapter </b>114


    “Do you want me to die?” Maximus smiled softly at her, this confession didn’t faze him. After all, this was not the first time he heard her wish. “Fine. But, you need to help ine.”


    Maximus then stood up, he went into the bedroom, and then grabbed a knife. He returned with the knife <b>in </b>his hand, and gave it to Rania.


    “Here. Do it.” Maximus was sitting in front of her. “Kill me, if it can sate your anger. I don’t want this life anymore if you don’t want me.”


    Maximus wrapped his hand around Rania’s, as she held the knife.


    “One clean cut.” Maximus pressed the sharp edge against his neck. “Or you can stab my neck and let me bleed to die.”


    Rania’s eyes flickered. It was not sure whether she was listening to him or not, but there was a tinge emotion there, and Maximus craved on it.


    “Or, you can stab me in the heart.” Maximus brought the tip of the knife against his chest, right where his heart was. “Take it, Rania. Take my life. I don’t want it. I should have died long time ago. My father wished I was dead in one of his tortures, but I was too stubborn to live. I wanted a revenge, but now, there is nothing I need to avenge. I only want you.”


    And if she didn’t want him back, there was no point to hold on this measly life of his.


    “Stab me, kill me, ruin me. I will be damn if I don’t let you get what you want.”


    Maximus stared into her eyes. There, he saw a flicker of emotion again. He was happy to see that. He wanted to see more of her.


    “It’s a pity that our time is very short, even more because I don’t cherish you when I still could.” Maximus pressed his forehead against hers, and kissed the tip of her nose, before he drove Rania’s hand that held the knife against his chest, straight to his heart.


    Rania gasped when she felt the warm liquid that burst into her hand. Out of instinct, she pulled back, but Maximus’s hand was still holding hers tightly.


    “It’s okay. Everything will be fine. It’s okay…” His voice wasforting.


    When Maximus took revenge on his father, he beheaded him with his own hands. He remembered how his ws embedded into his skin. He remembered thest gurgling sound that his father let out, and that gave him a satisfaction.


    He felt fulfilled, and at ease for the first time after so long when he realized his father had died in his own hand.


    The satisfaction that he wished Rania felt right now for taking his life with her own hand.<fn35a6> This content belongs to find?novel</fn35a6>


    Maximus then twisted the knife, giving his heat onest shudder before he copsed onto herp, only then the grip on her hand loosened, and Rania could pull away her hand.

    Thest thing Maximus saw before he closed his eyes was Rania’s emotionless expression. He wished, <b>she </b><b>had </b>a smile on her lips, the smile he had when he ended his father’s life.


    “What do you mean?!” Den just received a report that Rania stabbed Maximus, and the king was in a critical condition.


    “What is it?” Eiten was ready to leave when he saw Den was furious after a warrior talked to him. He could sense his rage in the bond they shared. “What happened?”


    Den red viciously at Eiten, who took a step back out of instinct, because he didn’t understand with his rage. Why would he be so angry with him?


    “What?” Eiten raised his brows. He didn’t fear Den, hell, he was a better fighter than the royal beta<b>, </b>but at this moment Den was exceptionally scary.


    “This is all your fault!” He roared angrily.


    “And why is that?” Eiten raised both of his arms in a surrender gesture. “I don’t even know what is here, can you at least enlighten me before you use me?”

    fault


    Den gestured for the warrior to leave, but told him not to breath a word about the news he just gave to him, which only made Eiten became even more puzzled.


    “Tell me what is it?”


    “She tried to kill him.”


    “Who?” Eiten furrowed his brows.


    But, his question only set Den off even more. “Who do you think?! That woman! Rania! She tried to kill Maximus<b>!</b><b>” </b>


    Eiten was surprised, but then his expression turned neutral. “It’s not like she will seed.” Eiten shrugged his shoulders. He knew that Rania would try, well she tried to kill him with poison before, so the news about her trying to kill him was not news at all.


    “Maximus is in a critical condition! You dimwit!” Den roared angrily because Eiten didn’t understand the seriousness of the situation. “They took him to the hospital because Karin couldn’t help much!”


    “What?” Eiten nched. He thought it was only an attempt by Rania. There was no way she would be able to take him down, and stabbed him. “Wait, there must be a story behind it.”


    “What story do you want?!” Den snapped at Eiten because until now the gamma still didn’t get it. “I told you that she is a bad omen! She is a rejected mate, that alone is enough to tell you that she is a bad luck! But, you and Max kept insisting to keep her around!”


    Eiten shook his head. “You and I know better than to believe such superstitious.”


    “The fuck with the superstitious! Can’t you see where we are now! What happened with this kingdom since


    13:45 Tue, Sep <b>30 </b>


    she entered the pce?!”


    Eiten wanted to argue with Den, but he knew there was no point on that, because the royal beta was beyond logical.


    “Where are you going?” Eiten asked when Den turned around to leave.


    “To the hospital, to make sure that bad luck stays away from Max!” Den replied sharply.
