His Sweet Little Mate novel (Abby and Micah) novel Chapter 148

“As the queen of this kingdom, it is my responsibility to shoulder this burden of overseeing everything in the kingdom when our king is absent. So I hope you will all cooperate with me.”

As soon as those words left her lips, pin drop silence fell in the great hall for a moment, before various disagreeing voices rose in the air, plunging the room into chaos.

“Does she even understand what she is talking about?”

“She is still wet behind the ears, but dares to order us around?”

“How preposterous! Even if the king is here today, he has to give us some face. Who do you think you are?”

Several other voices echoed, as they expressed their dissatisfaction over her audacious decision. She didn’t even discuss anything with them, even though she said she was here to have a discussion.

“Do you call this a discussion? You are clearly trying to throw your non-existent weight around here.”

“You think you can come here and act as you please just because the king always has your back?”

On the other hand, Abby waited for them to bark all they wanted as she stood in her place, with her arms folded across her chest while her face gave away nothing. She saw how almost all of them felt offended by her order.

Yes, it was an order, not a request. So she was not in a hurry to explain herself. She even stopped Alan from going forward to stop them when a couple of elders let their egos get the better of them.

“We won’t agree to this unreasonable request of yours.”

“You don’t even know how to take care of yourself, but here you are, saying you want to shoulder the responsibilities of the queen, where you need to think about thousands of people’s well being?”

Except for Arthur, almost everyone protested until they realized Abby just stood there, watching them with this blank expression on her face, and slowly their voices died down as they began staring daggers at the girl.

However, the recipient of their ire didn’t seem to be bothered at all, as she finally opened her mouth again. “I know I’m still inexperienced, isn’t it why I’m here, seeking your guidance?”

Her very first sentence left them tongue tied, because the girl just said what she had in her mind before they started shouting at her that she was trying to bite off more than she could chew. It was them who didn’t give her any chance to talk about her purpose of coming here.

They just assumed things when she said she wanted them all to report to her. However, before they could feel embarrassed for their collective outburst, Abby continued to rip them a new one with every single sentence of hers.

“And even If I want to, taking care of this kingdom’s matters isn’t something I can wash my hands off, since I’m the queen of this kingdom.”

She couldn’t be more correct, because she was indeed the queen and the destined mate of their king. And, it was expected of her to take on different kinds of roles to assist the king whenever it was necessary.

In this case, she was the most suitable person to deal with this crisis, after all, just because the king wasn’t here, nothing would stop. Since everything had to go on as usual, in his stead, wasn’t his queen should be the one to lead them forward?

Hearing her, their gazes slowly cooled down as they approached the matter more rationally, but Abby didn’t give them an opportunity to make any suggestions regarding this matter.

“Who else will be more suitable to take up this role with all of you being busy dealing with your own duties?”

True to her words, even though they were relatively free compared to the king, they too had their own duties to attend to, otherwise, how could such a large kingdom like theirs be run without major catastrophes with only a single king overseeing everything?

It was impossible for a single person to rule almost ten territories, which included nine werewolf packs and the capital city.

And when they finally looked like they were all convinced of her reasoning, Abby chose to say something which was very obvious, eliminating any possibilities of them backtracking again.

“And I’m carrying King Micah’s baby, who is none other than the heir of this kingdom, in my womb.”

With her final stroke, everyone could only accept that no one other than Abby was suitable enough to carry out the job with Micah’s whereabouts remaining unknown, except for Arthur who looked like he wouldn’t hesitate to pounce on Abby and kill her for ruining her plans. Only he couldn’t do anything.
