hapter 128
Rania should have seen thising. Getting rid of Den wouldn’t solve the problem. The former royal beta was merely punished for what he had done.
“Reject the king’s proposal,” Elder Yesa said bluntly. “And you can help us to convince the king to mate with the neighboring kingdom.”
They had not yet decided, who it would be, as they still weighed the options. Moreover, the fact that the king had been postponing the ceremony for Rania could be read as him was unsure with this mate of his.
Anyone would be better than this frail, wolfless woman.
“You have helped the traitor to try killing the king. The fact that you are still alive is because you are the king’s destined mate, but even so, you don’t want to be with him, right?” Elder Nico leaned his back, and stared at Rania.
He tried to conceal his disdain towards her, but he did a bad job on this.
“This will be a win win solution for your situation. You can live your life the way you want without the king breathing down your neck. Isn’t it what you want?”
Yes, that was what Rania wanted, but for them to use it against her, and thought they could control her, Rania was not happy with that.
She had been controlled before, following an order, even if the order was what she wanted, but she wouldn’t allow herself to go through the same path like before. She would be damn before she gave herself up like that again.
The two elders then waited for Rania to give them some respond, but when she didn’t say anything, Elder Yesa then remembered something.
“Oh, stupid me,” she groaned. “You still can’t speak, right?” She then stood up and brought a paper and a pen for her. She pushed the items in front of Rania, and started giving her an instruction. “Write down what you want to say. If you want something, we canpromise on that.
Rania stared at the pen and the paper before she stood up and walked toward the door. She had nothing to write down, and this time, her gesture was very clear for elder Nico and Elder Yesa.<fn28a0> Read full story at f?ndnovel</fn28a0>
She opened the door for them, and held it.
At first, the two of them frowned, as they didn’t get the meaning of it, but when the realization hit them, they immediately leapt to their feet, and cursed at her brazenness.
“Do you think you can have the king now? Just because he can forgive you once, it doesn’t mean he will forgive you all the time. There will be time when he will grow tired of you, and when that timees, you will be nothing, but the king’s ything!”
Elder Nico’s words were extremely harsh, where elder Yesa had to tug at his sleeve so he would tone it down, but he was too furious to do so. He red at Rania when he and elder Yesa walked past her.

“Think about this offer again. It’s better to have an ally in this pce, <b>if </b>you n to stay here, Elder You und before she followed after the other elder.
On the other hand, Rania breathed deeply when the two of them were out of her sight. Her legs buckled. The tension made her dizzy.
She didn’t even realize she was sitting on the floor when Maximus came into her line of sight.
“Rania,” Maximus called her name, but his tone was very cold. He knew who hade to approach her. Those old hags were trying to test his limit at this point. “I will take you to your room<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Maximus picked her up, but Rania didn’t want to be carried by him.
Toote, Maximus was enraged, he needed his mate to keep his anger in check. Or else, he would have stormed out to find the two elders and kill them on the spot.
He would be criticized again for killing his elders, but that would be fine with him.
“Stay still. Help me this time. I feel like I want to kill someone,” Maximus said against Rania’s ear, as he carried her away, while Karin could only stare at the two of them.
On the other hand, Rania went still when she heard Maximus’s statement. She nced at his face. His expression was as cold as ever.
She could feel his anger, thus she didn’t try to fight him on this.
Once they were in her bedroom, Maximus put her down on the edge of the bed, but instead of sitting next to her, he knelt down in front of her.
This moves confused Rania, as she frowned at him. She didn’t know what he was doing, and she almost pushed his head away when he rested his forehead on herp.
“Please, let me stay like this for a moment, so I can calm my anger,” Maximus said in a pleading tone, which made Rania stop.
She intended to push him away from herp, but her hands were still, hovering above his head.
“Let me stay like this. I am afraid I am going to kill them. Elder Gayle will be on my ass if I do that,” Maximus groaned. When he killed Elder Ryan a few days ago, elder Gayle had scolded him to his heart content.
It was not like Maximus couldn’t kill elder Gayle, he could, but he didn’t want to. There were only a handful people that he was not willing to kill no matter how terrible they offended him.
Elder Gayle… and Den were the example. And without a doubt; his mate.
On the other hand, Rania didn’t know what to do. She should have pushed him away, but then Maximus might kill those elders, and their death would be on her.
So, in the end, Rania stayed still. She dropped her hands and stared <i>at </i>Maximus’s head. He needed a haircut.
