The white wolf, sitting near the riverbank.

9:4

The beautiful creature was staring at Rania, as if she was waiting for her. But, Rania couldn’t get what she was waiting for. She was there. She was always there.

However, there was a longing in the creature’s eyes. The white wolf kept staring at her…

When Rania woke up, she was alone in her bed, she looked around and found ino /ione there, but Maximus’s scent lingered around her. He was everywhere.

Rania rubbed her face roughly, and then looked at the time. It had passed afternoon. She had been sleeping the whole morning, and missed Maximus when he left.

Rania put down her hand and then touched her neck, the mark of Maximus on her skin. There bwas /ba smile on her lips, she remembered every detail of their love makingst night, and this made her blush.

But then, she touched her t belly and her imagination went towards apletely different direction.

A child.

Would she be able to carry one this time? The rtionship between them was good. They were in good term, even much morepared to before.

This time, their baby would grow healthy, and she wouldn’t be hurt anymore. She would be fine. Maximus would be fine too.

There was no more secret between them. They had started to build the trust, and they were going towards the right direction, Rania could feel that.fne52e ?????? ???? fι?dnοvel/fne52e

Thinking about that, Rania immediately got off the bed, and cleaned up herself before she went to see Karin in the infirmary.

“You missed your morning lesson, mydy.” Karin smiled sweetly, teasing her, because she knew why she missed the lesson.

All the people in the pce talked about it. They saw the king carry Rania on his way back to the pce, and witness a gentle smile on his lips.

The smile was not the mocking one, or grazed with threat, but it was a smile that came from a joyful soul. Something extremely rare, or they could say they had never seen one before.

Because of that, people talked about how Rania managed to thaw the king’s cold heart. The pce would be okay as long as Rania was there.

Karin exined all of that to Rania. “I think people start epting you, mydy. How do you feel about that?”

Rania shrugged her shoulders, she didn’t know how to respond to that, but a deep blush on her cheeks told Karin that she was extremely happy.

D

ICan you teach me to make that concoction?) Rania scribbled something on the paper, because she wanted to change the topic, and then showed it to Karin,

“What concoction?” Karin raised her brows questioningly.

Rania bit her lip, she didn’t know how to write what was in her mind. But then, she decided to write a single word. It would be enough for Karin to catch the meaning behind what she wanted to say.

[Fertility:]

Karin’s heart almost skipped a beat when she read that. She gulped down nervously. It was very clear that the king had not yet said anything about her condition.

Knowing this, Karin didn’t know what to say to her.

Should she tell her everything honestly? The king only said that Karin was not allowed to tell anyone else about Rania’s condition, but he didn’t say anything about telling Rania herself.

Rania nudged his hand, because Karin didn’t give her any respond, she tilted her head, as if asking; can you?

“Uhm…” Karin felt the words left her head. She was not sure how to answer that.

It was not like Rania couldn’t get pregnant. She would be able to get pregnant, even though it would be hard, but the possibility was still there.

However, the real problem here was; if she did get pregnant. It would endanger her life and the baby. Her body was too weak to endure such massive change from the pregnancy.

It would kill her, and the baby too.

“You are still recovering from the previous injuries, there are some ingredients that you can’t mix together. You are still drinking the medicine, right? We will talk about it again after you are fully healed.”

[I am fine. I think I can stop drinking the medicine.] Rania knew that the medicine that she drank regrly was only a supplement, not something to cure any disease or the aftereffect of her incident.

“No, mydy. I will decide when you can stop,” Karin said, she had no other choice, but to pull the card of a healer.

Hearing that, Rania pursed her lips. She was not happy, and then wrote again. [When?]

Karin was thinking of a decade, but it would be very obvious that she was lying. “Two years…” she said without any confident, knowing very well that she was lying to her face.

Rania widened her eyes and pursed her lips. She mouthed. Liar.

Well, she was right about that one.

“I will check on your body condition from time to time, okay, so I will know when you will be able to go on without the medicine.” Karin then added. “Being pregnant will take a massive toll on your body because you will go through a huge change, and if your body still can’t carry it, it will not only endanger your life, but also

the baby that you conceive.”

Karin was not a good liar, but this time she mixed the truth in it, so she could talk smoothly.

Finally, Rania sighed deeply. She relented. She didn’t want to put herself through such trauma again, or put her baby in harm way.

She nodded.

“Okay, now we will continue with our lesson, shall we?” Karin immediately changed the topic, she breathed in relief because Rania didn’t hang on the topic anymore.

Once the king returned, she would discuss this matter with him, because they couldn’t ikeep /ilying to Rania.

It was only after a month Maximus finally came back.
