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 time around. 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 time I 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
Reyna.

Abby up when she could tell the former king had come to give her a hard time yet again. “What is it, Sir Arthur?”

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 came to 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.
