Crossing the Border (Rania) novel Chapter 128

hapter 128

Rania should have seen this coming. Getting rid of Declan 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 can compromise 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.

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 time comes, you will be nothing, but the king’s plaything!”

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 glared at Rania when he and elder Yesa walked past her.

Chapter 128

“Think about this offer again. It’s better to have an ally in this palace, if you plan to stay here, Elder You und before she followed after the other elder.

“Rania,” Maximus called her name, but his tone was very cold. He knew who had come to approach her. Those old hags were trying to test his limit at this point. “I will take you to your room.”

“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 her lap, 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 Declan 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 at Maximus’s head. He needed a haircut.
