Crossing the Border (Rania) novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99

Eiten didn’t exaggerate it at all when he said that Maximus was in his madness state.

Because soon after the attack, and the king regained his control, he had annihilated the people on the list. The spy, who had been planted so deep into the royal’s bones.

Those people, who wished to dethrone the king had been beheaded and their heads were stuck on spears, at the fortress of the palace.

People could see them, and not it caused the tension for people, because they saw the king’s method was too barbaric and brutal.

Even though the king’s savageness had been well known, but they had never seen it with their own eyes.

There were a huge different between knowing it, and witnessing it. The latter caused a huge impact, as the talks about the king’s madness had turned into a wildfire.

People lived in fear, because once again the palace was smell like blood. You could smell it even when you just walked by. That was how bad the situation was.

Thankfully, Declan was there to remind Maximus that he couldn’t have a killing spree on his ow people.

Maximus didn’t want to listen to that, but he reined himself, and only killed those people on the list.

The palace bathed in blood for several days. People lived in fear, and the family of the traitor fled the capital city, leaving everything behind in order to save their lives from the wrath of the king.

But, during the whole ordeal, not even once Maximus came to visit Rania. He was too busy killing people

around him.

And after ten days, finally Eiten had enough, he approached Maximus in the forest, as he fed his wild wolves with the flesh of his enemy. His expression was hard to discern.

Meanwhile, the warriors around him tensed up. They blanched after witnessing such cruelty for several days. Even if it was not them, who were being punished, but for some reason, they felt the pain when they watched the king torture the traitors before he finally killed them all.

They even caught him smiling in delight with the misery he put on the enemy.

“Max,” Eiten called the king. He walked cautiously towards him, while the wild wolves gobbled on the flesh, making a sickening noise.

Eiten took a mental note not to look at what those creatures were doing. He was still apprehensive to see how Maximus was fine with this sight.

The king didn’t acknowledge Eiten’s presence, but he didn’t chase him away too, which was a good sign.

“When will you visit Rania?” Eiten stood next to Maximus. “She has been awake two days ago.” Eiten had someone informed Maximus about this.

se it was too much for him

…us must be aware that all of that happened because of his fault, since he was too proud to hold his anger, instead of letting go and trying to understand the situation.

Rania was also at fault for her betrayal.

“Max?”

“Leave, Eiten, I don’t want to talk about this.” Maximus threw an arm toward the wild wolf, as they chewed on its flesh happily.

The smell of blood, and the crunching noise that came from those beasts made Eiten nauseating.

“You are not well, Max. You need to visit her. You used to be like this when you didn’t see her for a long time.” Eiten pointed out the time when Maximus was being a complete pain in the ass when he couldn’t see Rania for days.

And with his current dark mood, his violence tendency had escalated tremendously.

Maximus didn’t say anything, he didn’t even see Eiten when he left to visit the infirmary again. Rania’s room was still under renovation after the king thrashed the place.

The same thing could be said to the king’s bedroom. There was a huge hole on the wall.

Therefore, until now Rania occupied the infirmary, since it would be more efficient for Karin too to check on her condition.

“Rania,” Eiten called for her. Karin was not there, she must be away for a while to make a concoction.

However, when he stepped closer towards her wards, the smell of blood hit him. Her blood!

Because of how the palace had been engulfed in this nauseating smell for days, it didn’t occur to Eiten that this blood was Rania’s, until he was so close to her, and watched what happen.
