    Elder Gayle slouched down on the seat, he looked tired. Thest few days had taken a toll on his body, as he had to manage the kingdom and the elders.<fn9a43> Latest content published on find{n}ovel</fn9a43>


    This was the type of work that Den had beenining, and poor the elder, he was no longer young to keep up with the headache.


    “Maximus might not remember this, but I think the reason why the poison didn’t affect him much it’s because the previous king had poisoned him. I don’t know if he remembered this event or not. Yes, the poison didn’t kill him, but there is an after effect because of that.”


    Elder Gayle waved his hand towards the sleeping king, indicating this was what he was talking about.


    “He will not wake up for at least, three days, and after that, he will be in so much pain. He will ask for painkiller. L knew about this. She always prepared some for him around this time. Therefore, I think you have to prepare one too.”


    Elder Gayle looked at Rania gently. His gaze almost fatherly, as his voice softened.


    “The fact that Maximus didn’t tell Karin about this, it must be because he was notfortable to tell other people about his weakness. You must have known by now that shifter would look down in this kind of thing.”


    Yes, Rania knew that. Most of the shifter didn’t respect the weaker being than them, and as the sovereign of this kingdom, having a fever that put you bedridden for days would be seen as weakness.


    “Do you know how to make a painkiller?” Elder Gayle added. “I heard you learn about medicine from Karin.”


    Rania shook her head and then nodded.


    “You don’t know how to make the painkiller?”


    Rania shook her head again.


    “Hm… Maybe L left some in the infirmary, or can you ask Karin to make some?”


    Rania nodded.


    “Maximus will be fine even without the pain killer, but I am afraid the pain will disturb his concentration during the meeting, and make his temper res up.”


    Rania bit her lip, she knew what that meant. Elder Gayle then stood up. He stretched his body, and his bones cracked in protest.


    “I don’t care what other people said about you, Rania, but I think youpliment him. There must be a reason why the moon goddess chose both of you as mate.”


    Rania scribbled something. [What reason the moon goddess gave me Caden as a mate?] She felt bitter whenever someone talked that way to her.

    Elder Gayle then shrugged his shoulders.


    <b>“</b>Sometimes, the Moon Goddess made a mistake too, and probably Maximus is her <i>way </i>to apologize to you. The same could be said about Maximus too. Probably, you are a blessing for him after all the hardship he had to endure<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Even though Rania said she would ask Karin to make the pain killer, but when she came to the healerter in the evening, Rania asked Karin to teach her how to make one instead.


    “Why do you need a painkiller for shifter?” Karin asked with a confusion.


    A painkiller for a shifter would be different from human, and the one that Ranía got mostly leaning toward human, since she couldn’t be said as a shifter without her wolf spirit.


    Rania scribbled something on the paper. [Maximus looks like he is so much pain. I want to ease it a bit.]


    “Don’t worry, the king will be fine. You don’t need to give him that.”


    [Please, at least teach me how, just in case.]


    Seeing this, Karin had no other choice, but to relent to her. Painkiller for a shifter was not difficult to make, but it needed a long time. Rania had to stand for two hours to stir the concoction without stopping.


    Hearing that, Rania grimaced. Should she do that? Or just let Maximus suffer. He deserved it, though. A little bit suffering wouldn’t kill him.


    Elder Gayle himself said that the king would be fine even without it.


    But in the end, Rania did it. She grumbled in her head as she stirred the concoction, and when she was done, her arms felt like they were going to fall off.


    Boiling all of the ingredients for two hours, it left her with a small amount of liquid that she needed to put inside a vial forter used.


    After that, Rania returned to her bedroom to find Maximus was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his


    head.


    He looked like he was in so much pain. Rania went over to check on him, she was thinking of calling Karin, but the healer woulde in an hour.


    “Rania,” Maximus called her name in a delirious tone. His body was still burning. Rania wondered if the medicine that Karin gave to him was the right one, since she didn’t know Maximus‘ condition like L did.


    Rania pushed his body, so he couldy down. Surprisingly, it was easy to push him, indicating how weak he


    was<b>. </b>


    Rania could imagine what those elders would say if they saw Maximus like this, or those alphas from the packs that supported him. The king of werewolf shouldn’t have any weakness.

    “Stay.” Maximus stretched out his hand to reach her. “Stay with me.” He furrowed his brows when Rania didn’te over. “Stay… with me.”


    Maximus looked impatient when Rania didn’t take his hand, thus he sat down and hugged her. He pulled her


    closer.


    In an instant, Rania felt like her body was burned. He was too hot.


    However, when she was about to push him away, Maximus rested his chin against her shoulder. He was trembling.


    “It’s cold,” Maximus said in a weak voice.


    Maximus’s body was burning, but he was trembling in cold.


    Against her better judgement, Rania wrapped her arms around his body. She pulled a nket to cover him. At this point, Rania thought she was going to have a heatstroke.
