After making sure everything had matured, King Raion ordered everything to rest, because the night was also getting late. He also ordered Tora to take care of tomorrow's preparations, making the half-tiger man bow before leaving.
King Raion raised his head to look at the snowflakes from the window of the camp. He was silent while remembering everything from the beginning until now. His eyes were closed as his hands clenched. Realizing someone entered, made him re-open his eyes and turn his head.
One of the soldiers brought a new bottle of drink and took an empty bottle. Not wanting to be burdened with much thought, King Raion walked up to the table and poured the contents of the bottle into the cup and gulped down the contents.
The deg!
Suddenly his body could not move like petrification so he fell to the ground. ‘’A-What happened? Why is my body suddenly limp instead of play?’’
His head turned back towards the bottle that his soldier had brought. It was also when his eyes were big round as soon as he realized something. ‘’Drink...’’
‘’True once. I know His Majesty will not drink it if I take it. So I sent one of the soldiers to take him. The herb for immobilizing the body 48 hours.’’
King Raion gasped upon hearing the voice. He tried to turn his head but his body was very limp to move, until finally the figure stood in front of him. He saw a woman who was none other than Rukaia.
‘’Uncle Banquet works as usual,’’ said Rukaia made the King flinch.
The King looked at the woman with an inexplicable face. Although not asking, but hearing Rukaia's words earlier made her understand now. The woman simply pretended to betray Siruverash and was on his side by asking for the Supreme Queen's support.
‘’At last, you remain a traitor,’’ said King Raion.
Rukaia squinted her eyes. ‘’You made me a traitor.’’
King Raion frowned at the confused mark. ‘’Why even blame myself?’’
The woman took out all her teeth in front of the helpless King. From childhood, he always watched the King from afar, even wherever the King went, he would always follow him. He would do anything and make something for the King, but he never cared. To this day, he still likes the king. But his feelings, struggles and existence remain unacknowledged.
The tears of Rukaia fell. ‘’Why is it only big brother who always gets everything easily? Wh why? Why?!’’
‘’That's because in your heart there is never sincerity at all,’’ said King Raion.
King Raion squinted his eyes. ‘’After hearing your words earlier, I realized something. Were you and Mr Siruverash plotting the Queen Rushi exile conspiracy earlier?’’
The deg!
Rukaia bluffs her teeth while clenching her hands. He has expressed all his feelings to King Raion. But the man still cares about Queen Rushi.
‘’Your residence gave me yes answer to my question,’’ said King Raion.
‘’For once, is there no place for me in His Majesty's heart?’’ ask Rukaia.
King Raion smiled faintly. ‘’Do not make yourself look more miserable. Do you think I would like a stone-hearted woman like yourself who would willingly trap her own brother for the throne?’’
Rukaia closed her eyes with tears streaming down. ‘’In the end, Your Majesty still chooses big brother. Alright ... Don't blame me for doing this.’’
He also called the subordinate who was sent by Siruverash earlier.
King Raion frowned looking at the three black-robed figures surrounding him, as Rukaia walked away.
‘’Stop him as per my uncle's orders!’’
The deg!
King Raion was jolted because he was about to be finished off while in a helpless condition. He intended to scream but one of the three hit men immediately kicked him. He saw that the three people were pulling a sword that was about to slash him.
Damnit damnit! I cannot avoid it, he said inwardly and closed his eyes.
Shin! Shin!
