Chapter 24
he should be in a meeting with the elders.”
With the elders? Then he must be talking about the ceremony as well along with all other things.
As this thought flashed in Abby’s mind, she saw Alyssa smiling at her mischievously. Abby. immediately felt this servant of hers was planning something.
And sure enough, Alyssa didn’t disappoint her. “How about you pay him a surprise visit?” Alyssa almost wiggled her eyebrows as Reyna’s face lit up.
“You should definitely do it.” The girl nearly jumped as she persuaded Abby together with Alyssa.
And fifteen minutes later, Abby found herself walking toward the great hall where the King was discussing the affairs of his kingdom with the Council of Elders.
She didn’t know how to refuse someone at all.
Micah was about to say something to his royal beta when he caught his mate’s scent, which made. him change what he was about to say to ordering Alan to finish the meeting in his stead.
“Royal Beta Alan will take over from here,” Micah pushed Alan to the elders, not even hesitating for a second.
He dashed to the door and immediately saw his mate timidly following her two maids all confused. and adorable looking. And the way her eyes widened when she saw himself walking toward her made his own eyes soften.
“Touring around the palace?” He asked, taking her hand as she nodded like a kid caught stealing sugary goodies.
On the side, the two culprits, who pushed Abby into this situation, were grinning like two naughty. kids. Their faces gave away that this was their idea and the King didn’t mind it one bit.
“Had lunch?” Micah asked her and saw how the faces of her maids paled in the next second.
Heavens! They completely forgot about it. They actually dragged Abby around the palace with an empty stomach.
Would they be reprimanded again?
Abby felt Micah’s grip on her hand tighten at their reaction. “I think it just sl*pped their minds,” she involuntarily defended them. “Moreover, I’m not hungry yet.” She whispered to him, grabbing his hand that was holding hers with both hands while looking at him in all seriousness.
Micah, who was about to lash at them, softened when she heard her.
“Don’t repeat it,” he said while the two girls bowed their heads, nodding profusely.

Chapter 24
“This will be the last time.” They swore as Abby relaxed on Micah’s side.
Only he said something in the next moment, catching Abby completely off guard. “You can leave
now.
Abby’s heart nearly dropped when she realized Micah was actually looking at Alyssa and Reyna. She thought he was dismissing her. But that didn’t seem to be the case. However, in the next second, she couldn’t help but dread what the King had in mind.
“I wil..”
Abby was about to say she too wanted to leave when she saw the culprits of her predicament running away like someone chasing them.
“Have lunch with me?” Micah said, as he saw her giving in to him. He could understand her fears, that was why he would be the one to dislodge them all. Slowly but surely.
“So, how did your appointment with Ella go?” Micah asked as he proceeded to pour a bit more soup into her bowl as she seemed to like it more than the rest of the dishes. “Did you finalize your dress for the ceremony?”
