Chapter 300
“Maximus is going to make your life a living hell tomorrow,” Rania said with a sigh. “Is this really important?”
Eiten had come late in the evening to talk with Rania alone and both of them knew Maximus was pissed with this interruption.
He had seen Eiten a whole day, he didn’t need to see him again before he fell asleep next to his mate; therefore, seeing his royal gamma in front of his door and asked for his mate had irritated the king so bad.
Thankfully, like usual, Rania managed to calm Maximus down.
“I know. He is going to take revenge on me tomorrow, but this is really important,” Eiten said. He was still standing at the door, while Rania stood the other side, still in her bedroom because Maximus didn’t allow her to step out or let his royal gamma to step in.
“What is it?” Rania furrowed her brows. There must be something very important to the point Eiten had to come to her right away, realizing this, Rania’s expression turned very serious.
However, it was not for long because when Eiten spoke, she was speechless with the thing that Eiten said as urgency.
“What?” Rania blinked her eyes in confusion. She assumed, at least, someone was going to die when she saw how anxious Eiten was.
“Why didn’t you meet with Eli and Bella today?” Eiten repeated the question because he thought Rania didn’t hear him clearly in the first place.
“That’s it? That’s the important question that you want to ask me?”
Eiten nodded. “Yes, please, answer that.” His expression was very serious, thus Rania doubted if he was messing around with: her.
“I met with princess Abigail on my way to see Eli and Bella and because I thought it will be too much for her to meet with the princess, I didn’t come to see them,” Rania explained the truth about what she thought at that moment.
Eiten had explained briefly how anxious Eli was with her current status and how people saw her and her baby, therefore, Rania didn’t bring princess Abigail to see Eli. The latter wouldn’t be able to handle the situation and Rania was not a good middle man too.
It would be a very awkward situation and it would be very bad for all of them.
Eiten understood that and he knew Eli wouldn’t enjoy it.
“Oh, thanks heaven,” Eiten said with a sigh of relief. He scratched his head and grinned. He showed his carefree side again. “Okay then, I will not bother you anymore.”
“What? Only that?” Rania raised her brows. She didn’t know whether she had to laugh or smack his head. “You came here in late at night and risk your life only to get that answer? You can wait until tomorrow and avoid pissing Maximus off.”
Eiten shook his head, grinning even wider. “If I do that, I wouldn’t be able to sleep. It will be bad for me. I don’t want to have a sleepless night, Eli would have picked it up and she would have been worried with me.”
*I can’t believe it…” Rania shook her head in disbelief upon hearing Eiten’s explanation. “You are crazy, Eiten.”
“I know. Eiten chuckled happily. “I am worried that you don’t like her and she has done something that offended you. I want you to be best friend with her.”
“Hearing that, Rania laughed. “I am happy to have her as my friend. I like her already even before you met her, you know.”
Chapter 300
Eiten pursed his lips because Rania said she liked Eli first than him.
However, before they could continue with the conversation, Maximus had appeared behind Rania and glared at Eiten.
“It’s enough. Go back.”
And the next second, Eiten had the door closed right before his face, if only he leaned his body slightly forward, the door would have smacked him.
“Geez, he is very scary…” Eiten shook his head, but when he walked back to his bedroom, he was all smiling because he was only overthink things. This was not as bad as he thought.
Meanwhile, Rania had to face her sullen mate.
“What were you two talking about?” Maximus crossed his arms, he pressed Rania against the door.
“I think you heard the conversation, my king.” Rania grinned cheekily. “Do you want me to repeat it again?”
“Why did you look so happy when you talked with him?” Maximus leaned his body, until their eyes were on the same level. Rania couldn’t help, but laugh to see the way Maximus interrogated her. In her eyes, her mate was so cute.
“What? Don’t tell me you are jealous of your gamma, Max. You are being ridiculous. He is like a brother to me and he has his own destined mate that he fell head over heels with.” Rania tiptoed and kissed Maximus on the lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck.
Maximus was upset, but of course, he couldn’t reject Rania’s advance when she started the physical contact with him.
He lifted her body, and out of instinct, Rania circled his waist with her legs, as she kept kissing him. She could feel the annoyance within Maximus had slowly decreased.
Hm. It was rather easy to appease him.
Rania grinned in their kiss when Maximus pinched her butt.
“Stop smiling like that.” Maximus carried her to the bed and lay her down. She still had her legs wrapped around his waist, preventing him from going away.
Well, there was no place Maximus wanted to be at this moment, but within her.
Casually, Maximus take off her dress, leaving her only in her underwear. This was not the first time for Maximus to see his mate naked, but every time, he would be mesmerized by her beauty.
“Stop ogling at me,” Rania said breathlessly. Maximus pulled away slightly to cherish her body and let her take a breath.
“I like what I see.” Maximus licked her neck and this made Rania gasped. “You taste so divine.”
“Stop it,” Rania giggled, as she pushed him away slightly, because it was rather ticklish. “You have an important meeting
tomorrow.”
“There is nothing important. Only a bunch of princes who wanted me to support them and their kingdom.” Maximus nibbled on her shoulder lightly.
Those princes must know the shift of pow a massive power that everyone wa
And now Maximus had managed to take down the Barlukan Kingdom, he held
His territory was so vast, he owned the largest kingdom among the other five.
Maximus was so perfect, he was what every king wanted. Maximus had everything and no woman would deny him.
Maximus could have any woman that he desired.
Therefore, for Rania this was a bless, but also a curse. Maximus was perfect, but she was the stain in his perfect life. She was. the one thing that Maximus couldn’t have.
When Rania thought about it, her chest clenched tightly, she felt there was a thousand knife that stabbed her heart.
“What happened?” Maximus stopped himself when he felt Rania was shivering, not out of pleasure, but she was crying. “Do I hurt you?” Panic filled his voice when he saw Rania’s tears. “I am sorry, I am sorry. Where did I hurt you?”
Rania shook her head, she wanted to tell him that she was fine, but of course, it would be a blatant lie. She was not fine. because she couldn’t stop crying.
“I will stop, I will stop, please don’t cry. I am sorry to hurt you.” Maximus cradled Rania in his arms, he didn’t know why she was crying like this, but whatever it was, he didn’t want to continue this.
There was no way in hell he still had a desire to claim her when she was crying uncontrollably.
“No…” Rania couldn’t explain herself, and that was the only word that she could say, which only made Maximus misunderstand her even more.
“It’s okay, I will not do it. I will not. Do you want me to leave?” Maximus didn’t want to, but if it could help her, he would crush his ego.
Thankfully, Rania shook her head and clung to him even more.
Confused, Maximus could only hold her tightly, letting her to calm down, until she fell asleep.
It took so long for Rania to be able to stop herself from crying her heart out, because the more Maximus treated her gently, and how careful he was with her, the more Rania knew how much he loved her.
And that love felt so heavy in her heart now…
“I am sorry,” Maximus said softly against Rania’s hair when she had stopped crying and drifted to sleep. “I am sorry…”
The next day when Rania woke up, she was alone, because Maximus had to attend a meeting, but she found a note on his pillow.
‘I am sorry if I hurt you, I love you.
It was a simple thing, but this reopened Rania’s pain. Not because the note was too simple, because she knew Maximus has always had a hard time to show his feeling, or his vulnerable side, but because she could feel how much he loved her.
Maximus would be hurt if he knew what was in her mind and what she planned to do.
Yet, Rania couldn’t rob him from this.
Maximus would give up this kingdom for her, but Rania didn’t want him to do that.
But, in order to keep his reign smooth sailing, he needed an heir to make his position unshakeable.
“I am sorry…” This time Rania was the one, who apologized.
