Chapter 25

Rania pressed her fist against her chest, as she tried to breath evenly.

It was questionable whether she felt this suffocation because she was running from the dining room, as fast as her legs could take her, or because she felt this dreadful feeling that clutched her chest.

When Rania felt Maximus’s fingers wrapped around her throat, she was yanked back to the moment when Caden used to strangle her whenever he reached his climax, this was something that he used to do to her.

Sometime, Caden was still in control, and simply wrapped his fingers, but other time, he would lose his control, and Rania would end up passed out with him still fucking her.

Therefore, whenever someone touched her neck, Rania would break into a cold sweat. She couldn’t help it when those memories were forced to the forefront of her head.

It’s okay, it’s okay…

Rania talked to herself, as her body slid down behind the door, she was still clutching her chest, and touched her neck, because for some reason, she felt like Caden was still strangling her.

Sometime, mind could be your worst enemy.

Rania leaned her head against the door. Her stomach was still empty, because she didn’t eat much, but she didn’t feel like eating at all.

Fear made her stomach full.

And when she was calm down a bit, Rania closed her eyes, and breathed deeply. Layer of sweat on her forehead, and the exhaustion came to her in full force, which left her without any strength to go to the bed, as she fell asleep there.

“What now?” Declan shook his head, and grimaced to see the gruesome sight before him.

Blood covered the wall of the interrogation room in the dungeon, while three dead bodies were lying on the floors, blood pooled beneath them, and gnashing wound littered on their bodies.

Needless to say, those people went out of this life not with ease in the hand of the king.

-Max, you have to tone it down a little bit, this is not good. We need them to extract the information out of their mouth.” Declan refused to enter the bloody room, because it would ruin his nice shoes.

“Done.” Maximus stretched out his body, and then sighed in relief, as if he had done a laborious job, and now he could relax.

“What do you mean done?” Declan furrowed his brows. “Do you know the spy that the Barlukan Kingdom planted?”

“Yes.” Maximus’s eyes gleamed with murderous intention. “I think the dungeon will be full again.”

Whenever Maximus was in his shitty mood, he would come here to kill one or two prisoners, who were waiting for the death punishment, and killed them himself.

Fortunately, they had never lacked of the death raw inmates, which could satisfy Maximus’s bloodlust for a while.

“You got name?” Declan followed Maximus out of the bloody room, as two warriors entered, and blanched, but they needed to power through to clean up the mess that their king had done.

“Names Maximus wiped the blood in his trousers, while Declan walked a step behind him, because he didn’t want to stain his clothes with the blood. “Those fuckers had more than a dozen people within our rank. Those spies…” Maximus scoffed.

“How could you get those names? We have tortured them, but they are tongue tied.” Declan had exerted so much effort to extract information from them, but he got nothing. They refused to give them name, let alone that, they even refused to speak.

That’s because you don’t know how to torture people.”

“Why is it so dark inside? Have you fallen asleep earlier?”

Kean did what she was told, and turned on all the light in this room. She put down the food on the table, and then retreated.

Once the room was flooded with light, Rania felt like she could breathe again. She thanked Kean before she left, and now she was alone again inside her huge room.

Slowly, she approached the food, and turned on the television, so it was not very quiet here. She ate the food, but it still tasted bland in her tongue. Rania ate it anyway.

She set up the channel and found a cartoon that she liked when she was little, and this lifted up her mood. She didn’t realize when she

But, her bubble of happiness was disturbed when someone knocked on the door, and her shoulders tensed again.

The laugh died down in her lips, when she stood up, and took tentative walk towards the door. It creaked open, and she saw the young man with blonde hair from this afternoon.

“Yes?” Rania only opened the door slightly, while the other man was standing in front of her with a warm smile.

“I have not yet introduced myself this afternoon. I am Eiten, the royal gamma,” he introduced himself. “May I come in?” He waved a plastic bag in his hand.
