Rania couldn’t sleep, that’s why she knew immediately when someone entered her bedroom, but she didn’t hear any commotion out there.
There were two guards, who guarded her bedroom, and if there was an intruder, who tried to get to her, she would have heard the fight against the guards.
However, the fact that it was very quiet, made her think only two options; whether the guards knew the person, who entered the room, or…
They were the remaining member of the Movement, the people, who hid so deep into the palace and were failed to eradicate by the king during that bloody period of times.
Rania didn’t want to think of the latter, because it was more than just horrifying. Because it meant, this person was going to kill her.
she was overthinking. She couldn’t help it after everything she had to go through.
Without a second thought, Rania immediately scrambled out of her bed, grabbed the fruit knife on the bedside and went under. She hid herself there, hugging herself into a ball. She wished she could disappear.
Right in time, that person went into her sleeping section, and stopped for a brief second, probably because he saw she was not there.
It was a man, Rania could tell from the shoes he was wearing. Rania watched this person walked toward her bed.
She clutched the fruit knife in her hand. She was trembling. She didn’t know how to fight, but with a weapon, she got a chance to run towards the exit, and asked for help.
However, she prayed this person wouldn’t find her here.
Rania covered her mouth with her palm, to prevent herself from making any noise, even though it had been so long, since the last time she heard her own voice.
And suddenly, that person stopped right beside her bed. Her heart skipped a bit when he crouched down and looked under.
This was it. Rania was going to attack first. She was going to have more chance this way. Her grip on the hilt of the knife tightened, until her knuckles turned white.
And when that person lowered his head to see her there, she swung the knife.
But, she missed it, instead, he managed to catch her hand.
“Rania, it’s me p>
For a little while, it didn’t register to her that the voice was very familiar. She kept trying to get her hand free from his grip, until that person pulled her out from under the bed with ease.

Rania stopped struggling when she saw Maximus’s familiar face. There was a line of blood on his check. Her knife indeed reached him, grazed his skin, but the wound had healed, leaving only stain of blood.
“It’s me. Maximus p>
Rania breathed heavily, and the knife slackened from her grip. She stared at him stupidly, as if she couldn’t believe with what she was seeing.
Maximus then kissed her forehead to pull her back to him. “I come a day earlier. It’s me. You are fine p>
Only when she felt the tingling feeling between them when their skin made a contact that Rania finally realized what happened.
She threw
