Chapter 107
The few times rogues attacked before, those beasts had always been savage. Be it the times they claimed countless lives in the Black Claw pack or when they left the people of the capital city terrified since they started attacking around the borders of the capital city.
However, they seemed too different this taround. They weren’t as fierce as they were all those times. If anything, they fought too weakly, compared to before.
Micah couldn’t help but feel this whole attack was a distraction, because his plan went too smoothly as he was able to subdue the enemies too easily, despite how meticulously he had set the trap.
After all, rogues were known for their viciousness and mindless ruthlessness.
This is totally weird!
But all the king could do was try and quickly bring the situation under control for now.
Looking
The huge underground basement, Abby could see how the guests got increasingly annoyed by
each second that passed, as they couldn’t know what was happening outside when the royal warriors literally
shut even out whenever someone demanded an explanation over this predicament.
No matter what kind of questions they posted, the only answer they got was complete silence or a few perfunctory words that couldn’t abate their worries at all.
After all, an attack on the palace which was in the heart of this capital city with the most formidable defense line, who were none other than the elite royal warriors, was not an ordinary occurrence.
And this peculiarity made people hash over the situation as they sat in groups to whisper among themselves.
“This is the first tI saw someone attack the palace so brazenly.”
“And those rogues sprang up like mushrooms, out of nowhere, with all the intention to kill.”
“What could be their agenda?”

“Beats me, but there’s a rumor that the King had been attacked before as well…”
“Right, it just happened twenty or so days back…”
“Do you think the King was being targeted?”
Naturally, all of them couldn’t help but speculate as Abby stood to a side and listened to them all silently.

No one approached her, so she didn’t feel the need to approach anyone for a small talk either, even though there were a few women among the guests. She simply waited for Ezgar to send someone to fetch either Alyssa or

Seeing her attitude, the former king couldn’t help but things turned so chaotic?”
Abby was dumbfounded for a moment when she couldn’t understand on what grounds Arthur cto find fault with her. Yet, somehow she managed to find her voice. “What do you mean?”
“If Micah hadn’t been so blinded by that mate bond between you two, he wouldn’t have let this happen. Yet, here you are, feeling no remorse whatsoever.”
“Remorse?” Abby couldn’t help but repeat after him, feeling incredulous and it was clear in her expression.
“Are you that dense that you couldn’t even acknowledge your part in this whole incident?” The former king couldn’t help but feel even more displeased with her. “If it hadn’t been for pleasing you, he wouldn’t have rushed the ceremony and let his guard down.”

Abby was genuinely surprised now. Just how in the world he concluded that Micah only wanted to hold the ceremony to please her?

“Why are you so shocked? Don’t think people are blind to see how insecure you are with all your shortcomings dancing right on your forehead.” Arthur continued to accuse her when Abby didn’t say anything in response to
his words.
In his eyes, her silence only strengthened his beliefs. “You knew everyone out there was against you and pestered him to hold the ceremony. How shameless can someone be?”
The former king couldn’t help but talk down to her when he believed Abby was a selfish woman who put herself above this kingdom and its welfare.
“Someone as weak and selfish as you isn’t suitable to be the queen of this kingdom. You couldn’t even protect yourself and need constant surveillance. Is Micah supposed to babysit you all his life?”
Arthur was fuming now. He was talking in a low voice to her, trying to control his rage as much as possible, but his whole being was vibrating right now.
“Weak and selfish?” Abby began, wanting to explain that she had no part in Micah deciding to hold the ceremony
in a hur but Arthur was far too gone to let her talk right now.
“You made Micah almost lose his life in the fight with that dark sorcerer, so if you aren’t weak, then what are you? Had it not been for you, Micah would have caught that dark sorcerer and this attack wouldn’t have happened today…
“You are nothing but a hindrance to Micah, he could have eliminated Calpin that day, but you let that dark sorcerer gain upper hand by falling victim to his

Arthur just cto know the rogue attacks were all premeditated and the dark sorcerer, who attacked Micah in the Black Claw pack, was the mastermind behind the scenes.
He actually turned so many rogues into his puppets and had been wreaking havoc in different parts of the kingdom for the last few months, but Micah kept this from everyone.
Today, he cto attack again, and he brought almost all the rogues in and around this kingdom. It was clear his target was to finish what he started in the Black Claw pack.

Yet, Micah was so whipped by this useless mate of his, he couldn’t think of anything else but pleasing her and fulfilling her mindless wishes.
She was someone so weak, until she couldn’t even find her voice and say a few words about this kingdom she
was going to rule and protect during the ceremony. It only worsened his opinion on her.

And when he thought how Micah might be covering up the fact that Calpin was behind every rogue attack until
now, so as not to implicate Abby, because of whom he let Calpin get away last time, Arthur couldn’t help but think everything was Abby’s fault.
“It’s your fault that he let him escape, he neglected his duty as the king of this kingdom, while cajoling you because you are so weak to help him assist in fighting the enemies. You are nothing but a burden…
“But you still don’t understand where you went wrong. I can’t understand why Micah couldn’t see you for what you are. A weak and useless mate, just dragging him down endlessly.”
On the other hand, the more Abby listened,the more angry she felt. Arthur knew nothing but simply cto throw mud on her.
“Enough, you know nothing.
Arthur was startled when Abby looked so cold, as she flashed her palm to him as a gesture to stop talking.
“Letmake a few things clear real quick,” the girl spoke word to word, when the former king fell silent at her order.
She had enough of his disapproval and his displeasure over her ascending the throne. She couldn’t help but speak coldly recalling all the times he openly discredited her, both in front of others and herself alike.
Since he couldn’t bother about understanding her efforts, there was no need to cajole him and let him think he was someone important to her. The only person she cared about was Micah. So that was what she told him.
“I don’t care what you think about me. I’m long past that phase. I’m only here for my mate’s sake. And this ceremony has nothing to do with me. But it is clear that you won’t believe it even if the Moon Goddess were to chere to be my witness…

“Impudence! How dare you curse the King?” Arthur couldn’t believe his ears.

“Don’t be so hasty to put words in my mouth.” Abby shook her head as she felt like Arthur couldn’t find a single good thing about her. “What you think happened in the Black Claw pack was not everything.”
“Not everything? Didn’t Micah let Calpin escape because he rushed to save your life?” Arthur pointed out.
“It’s the other way around. I, a weak and selfish woman, stood between Micah and Calpin that day, when that dark sorcerer tried to burn my mate from within…”
Even now, talking about it made Abby tremble at the thought of the fear that gripped her heart when she thought she would lose the only person that showed kindness to her.
“I am the only person who could shield Calpin that day. So you should be thankingfor saving Micah when he fought that sorcerer…”
After saying her piece, Abby strode away from there. She wanted to find a warrior to call Ezgar who left to fetch her personal maids.
But then she saw the man being surrounded by a few warriors just on the other side of the hall, almost near the door.
During her lessons with Sherianne, Abby learned there were three ranks among the warriors serving the royal family. The third rank being the royal guards, while the second were the royal warriors.
There was another group of warriors that were hand picked by the generals to be trained into elite soldiers and the swere now talking to Ezgar. Judging by the way they bowed to them, Abby felt like he was someone highly ranked in the palace.
And the girl wasn’t wrong, because Ezgar was the one of the leaders for the group of elite royal warriors serving the royal family.
And currently, a few warriors belonging to the elite rank and were being led by him cto him for further instructions.
“Chief, don’t we need to join the battle?” One of them asked Ezgar, because he couldn’t understand why there were almost one fourth of the elite warriors babysitting these guests when they should be fighting in the frontlines, given the severity of the situation.

“Don’t be reckless and give into your impatience. You were clearly instructed to protect the guests until the procession ends.” Another soldier chided him.
Abby was a bit surprised at this revelation. Earlier when she saw the guests being protected even before the rogues surrounded the great hall, Abby found it very odd.
“They were already in the safe place.” The first soldier retorted. “I just can’t understand, we could have captured the rogues before they entered the palace. But the King insisted that we let them enter first.”
Micah insisted on what? Abby felt her brain explode at his words.
“You have to trust the King, he has been planning for this ambush for a fortnight. He knows what to do.” A third soldier chimed in, prompting others to nod their heads.
He has been planning for a fortnight?
So he knew there would be an attempt on his life, no, their lives, before he announced the coronation?
