Rania was sleeping when all of sudden someone shook her body to wake her up.

Groggily, she opened her eyes only to see Lucian was bending his body next to her bed. He was the one, who had woken her up.

“We need to leave, my queen,” he said with urgency. “You are needed in the war room.”

Rania furrowed her brows, she looked out through the window and saw it was still dark out there, and sleepy mind couldn’tprehend quickly what was going on.

“The enemies are marching towards the pce.”

Rania widened her eyes in surprised. She then got out of the bed, and then got her jacket, but then she remembered what Lucian said.

[Why they need me in the war room?] She was confused in this part. She knew that not everyone could enter the room, since that was the ce, where a critical information and difficult decision was made.

“Because you are the queen,” Lucian replied and it sounded almost apologetic.

Rania didn’t need to ask more about it, because she immediately knew who had issued the order. It must be the elders. They had not yet stopped to pestering her.

They would try a thousand way to make her life difficult just because they thought she was not a good match to the king. She didn’t bring any benefit for Maximus, especially when she had not yet gotten pregnant.

Of course, the fact that she was wolfless and was rejected before still became a problem for them.

This time, though, Rania wouldn’t take ity down.

Outside the door, Ares had been waiting for her, he smiled apologetically. “I am sorry for interrupting your sleep, my queen,” Ares said. “I have tried to talk to the elders, even royal beta Gayle had tried to persuade them not to bother you, but they were not listening. They demanded your presence.”

Rania nodded. She waved her hand, as if telling him that it was not a problem. But, of course, it would be a problem. They wanted to humiliate her.

On top of all her ws, she couldn’t speak freely now. They would use this opportunity to show the other higher echelons on how unfit she was to be the queen of this kingdom.

However, Rania didn’t stop walking, until she reached the war room. She had visited Maximus here often before he left for the south.

Usually, it would only be him, waiting for her inside, but this time when she opened the door, there were around a dozen of people there.

Eight elders, including elder Gayle, and four senior warriors, who guarded the pce. Their eyes were on Rania, and the sheer of their intents attention alone made her want to back away.

Yet, she stood still, and prepared herself, before she stepped into the room. She had gone through bworse /bthan this. This was nothingpared to what she had to endure.

At least, that was what Rania told to herself.

“The queen is here, we shall continue with the meeting.” Elder Gant waved his hand to the other participant in the room, he nodded at Rania politely, but there was nothing polite about him.

“You shouldn’t have invited the queen. There is no need for us to make her worry,” elder Gayle said to the other elders, his eyes were sharp, as he red at them.

He had been trying to make Rania stay away from this, but he was outnumbered, and by rule, Rania was indeed required in the war room in the absent of the king.

“Of course, she needs to be worried. This is her kingdom too, isn’t it? If she doesn’t care about our kingdom, how she can fit to be the queen? I don’t understand with your refusal to invite her here when it is very clear that in the absent of the king, the queen has control over the pce, and she will be inmand for every decision.”

It was a smart move in elder Gant’s part, because by saying that, he had put Rania into a trap. If Rania made a wrong call, she would be med, condemned for that.

They wouldn’t let go of such mistake, especially at critical moment like this and if it was included the shifters‘ lives.

Elder Gant had set a perfect trap for Rania to fail, which she most likely did, because of how inexperience she was in this part. She was still learning about everything after all.

[It’s okay, can you fill me in with what happened?] Rania wrote down on her notes, and showed it to them, which created a loud murmur among the elders and the senior warriors.

They shouldn’t be surprised when shemunicated with them through notes, because they should already know that she couldn’t use verbalmunication just yet, but they acted as if this was a sphemy.fnfd83 ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? /fnfd83

“I hope we can have a normal conversation here, my queen,” elder Gant said politely, but like what Rania thought before, there was nothing polite about him.

“Watch the way you talk, elder Gant.” Elder Gayle was fuming mad at this point, and it was so rare to see the calm and collected royal beta to reach his breaking point.

On the other hand, elder Gant was slightly taken aback, but heposed himself quickly, and then smiled softly. “I am. I only want to make sure that everyone isfortable.”

Rania immediately grabbed elder Gayle’s hand, to prevent him from talking back to the other elder, because there was no need for him to work himself up.

She then wrote something on her notes.

[Is my presence cause you difort?]

“Of course, not. But…”

Rania then wrote down quickly. She could feel Lucian and Ares’s anger too. They were not happy with bthe /bway these people treated her, which she was grateful for.
