Chapter 83
“Rania!” Alaric roared angrily. If they were not in the palace, and he was not in this situation, he would have slapped her.
The only reason why he didn’t do that, because he couldn’t afford the king’s wrath. From the look of it, the king was rather fond of her, or else, he wouldn’t go to extra length to accommodate this meeting.
“Caden is in the dungeon, we need him to exact the plan,” Alaric said in a lower voice, he reminded her that she had committed to help them to get rid of the king.
“I changed my mind,” Rania replied. She turned around to face her father. “I don’t want to do it,” she said in a matter of fact tone. “You want me to commit a horrendous crime against the king. I have never agreed to do that p>
“It’s too late, you are already in now p>
“I am not part of your charade,” Rania said sternly.
Before she was still undecided what she was going to do, but now she was certain that she didn’t want to be part of whatever plan Caden had.
After all he had done to her without even an ounce of remorse, she didn’t care if he died. Actually, it was a good thing. If Caden died, probably the Movement would stop, even though she was not sure if it was Caden, who had orchestrated everything.
Was he the leader? But, from the sound of it, he must be someone important for the Movement. It would be great. Caden could die for all Rania cared, and she would go through with her own plan to stop the war by convincing Maximus.
It might take years to accomplish that, but she was sure she could do it. He had started warm up to her.
However, Rania’s answer only enraged Alaric, he glared at his daughter, his grip on her arm tightened, as he spoke in a very low, and eerie voice.
“Yes, you are. You poisoned the king. If we are going down, you will go down with us too p>
Rania shook her arm, but she couldn’t free herself from his tight grip, which hurt her now. “I will tell the king everything, and ask for his forgiveness p>
“Do you think he will forgive you? How naïve you are p>
Rania couldn’t retort to that, because she was not sure whether Maximus could forgive her or not, but she was not going to give her father a satisfaction to confuse her.
“He will. He is my mate p>
Alaric let go of Rania’s arms, but he slightly pushed her away, anger was written all over his face. “Go, and see what he will do to you. Just remember this, Rania, you are not leaving this unscathed. You are going down with us, if you decided to betray us p>
“I don’t betray you. I have never agreed with anything that you planned.” Rania narrowed her eyes, and then she walked away.
She went out of the room, and then asked for the king.
“King Maximus is in a strategy room, my lady, he received an important news and he is with all the higher rank echelon p>
Rania didn’t expect this, and when she asked what happened, the warrior didn’t know, because they were not high rank enough to be informed about such information.
“Thank you,” Rania said, she then went back to her bedroom, but she felt uneasy. Therefore, she decided to look for Kean.
If there was something important came up, it was most likely something related to the Movement, thus she went to the omega’s quarters to look for Kean.
It was not hard to find her, because of her bubbly personality, she was well known and liked by other people, and one of the omegas even escorted Rania to Kean’s bedroom happily, since they knew that Rania was the king’s mate.
“You look so beautiful, my lady. I am sure the king is very happy to finally find his destined mate p>
Rania simply smiled, and thanked her for the compliment before she knocked on the door and told the omega that she could leave.
“Thank you, Daria p>
“Anytime, my lady.” She bowed her head slightly and then left, after that there was a clicking sound from inside the bedroom, and Kean was surprised to see Rania was there.
“Can I come in?” Rania asked in gentle tone. She knew the last time they had a conversation it didn’t end well.
“Poison,” Maximus said grimly. “It’s the same poison again p>
There were twelve elders, sitting on their respective table, five senior warriors, and of course, the royal beta and the royal gamma, flanked the king.
“Yes, alpha,” Corry, the senior warrior, who returned from the frontline said grimly. The warriors had been sick with the slow acting poison, it didn’t occur to them that they were poisoned, since the reaction was not immediate.
However, once they learned what happened to the healer in the palace, they asked a healer to check on the sick warrior, and it was revealed that they had been poisoned.
Most of them had been feeling under the water, but they didn’t complain, until they collapsed during the training.
“I think it’s the same people. Their work is very organize, this must be a group of people, who are trying to
rebel against the royal,” Declan said hatefully.
“We should check all of the people in the palace,” elder Gayle said after a long moment of silence.
“I agreed with that, but it will take a long time to check all the people in the palace, there are thousand of
them p>
“The omega. The omega, who works in the kitchen,” Maximus said. “The slow acting poison in the frontline come from their food. If they did that to the frontline warriors, they must have done it here too. Lula must have discovered something that made them panic and had to get rid off her immediately p>
Maximus’s theory did make sense.
