Kapitel 154: 1st week of September (Part 8)

Please DON'T READ this chapter yet. I will update this first week of September!

Good news! My hands have healed now and I'm catching up on writing my missed chapters. My apologies for all the delays. I will replace this chapter with the real one soon, don't worry, and upload a new one for the next day. I really apologize once again.

In the meantime, please enjoy the continuation of the story below titled "The King's Beloved". This is the revised version I am planning to submit for paperback publication. Hopefully, I get a chance someday.

"Sniff… sniff…" the little Rania sobbed as she sat on her bed, hugging her knees.

"Rania?" Lailee, who heard her when she passed by, came peeking at the door. "Oh my goodness, dear child, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" She hurried to her side and embraced her while patting her back.
