His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect

Not giving those warriors a reason to put their hands on him? Arthur felt his whole body shake with fury. Yet, he

couldn't do anything about it.

Her every word was measured yet sharp, it left Arthur no room to retaliate. For effect, she even held up hand as

if to stop the said warriors from misunderstanding the situation. "It would be too embarrassing if they

misunderstand your intentions when all you wanted was to help me."

Abby threw back Arthur's reason to his face, where he claimed Abby was unconscious and needed every little

assistance she could make use of while recuperating. He even implied she needed to rest even if she woke up

later to shut anyone before they could question his motives for literally 'seizing' the throne.

But she cprepared, the warriors behind her were not for show. If Arthur didn't know what was good for him,

she wouldn't hesitate to lose violence. After all, she knew the former king wasn't easy to deal with.

On the other hand, Arthur knew it was an undisguised threat, after all, he wasn't born yesterday to

misunderstand Abby's intention and think she was actually trying to save his face or something.

If anything, the moment she said all those words, it only exposed all of Arthur's intentions, his thoughts he oh so

tried to conceal under nonchalant comments and masked agreeance having to follow Abby's lead.

Without lifting his head, he could tell what was running through the minds of the councilors, who had very

patiently fallen silent during this whole ordeal. The tides had changed real fast!

"Yeah, you are right. It's a good thing you are back." Arthur managed to grit out as he looked behind the woman,

where Deion and the few elite warriors sported this blank look mirroring Abby's own.

He clearly knew what Abby meant by her actions today, the line of warriors behind her carried the promise of

violence if things didn't go as she planned, and if he let things go that far, it would not just be his face that he

would lose today.

He didn't underestimate her, but she did outperform herself, and Arthur had to accept defeat for now, as he

stepped down from the throne.

However, he didn't offer it to her, which would have included him bowing to her, and after the humiliation he

faced, doing that would only be him hitting a new low.

'I'll get back at you, woman. You are naive if you think this would be the end of it. He swore to himself as he

returned to his seat beside Emile's, his former royal gamma, who was also sporting a furious glare, which he

masked in tbefore anyone could notice. But of course, Abby wasn't naive to think Arthur would accept this

defeat just because she proved to him she was a worthy opponent to him. The man wouldn't even see her as

someone who deserved to stand among the royal councilors, let alone wield more power than any of them.

Speaking of the councilors, Chance, Toby and the few others started expressing concern over her health when

Abby finally settled on the throne.

"There are things more important than my health, my friends." Abby said, almost cringing inwardly for

addressing these old men as friends. But it was beside the point now.

Before these men could kill brain cells over what she meant, she opened her mouth again. "It's been two days

since the prince has been born, but because of sunpleasant interventions, you guys haven't got a chance to

meet mine and Micah's first born." Everyone had this awkward look on their faces when she said ‘interventions,

especially people supporting Arthur to take back the throne. They looked like they didn't know where to look.

Only Abby didn't have tto dwell on whatever they were feeling as she continued to speak her mind. "But,

you don't have to feel bad about it. | took this chance to bring him in front of you." Abby then addressed

someone standing near the door. "Let my people in."

Following her command, the door opened again, where they all could see a palace maid walk in with a baby

carefully wrapped in a blanket.

Normally, this type of introduction needed skind of preparation, but Abby made it seem like the royal

warriors standing on either side of the red carpet, as Alyssa made her way to the queen with the prince in her

arms, something really distinguished. It was as good as an introduction ceremony, even though the warriors

solemnly bowing to her son wasn't planned by her at all.

Well, what could she say? The elite royal warriors were elite class for a reason, and their submission to her son

only made his position more stable in this court. She didn't have any complaints.

"Here." Abby took her child from Alyssa's hands, who then retreated to the side along with Reyna, who followed

her inside, as they both stood slightly behind the throne, making them as invisible as possible. This was the first

tfor them to enter the great hall and it would be an understatement to say it was overwhelming.

They didn't need to feel so self conscious for long though, because Abby made so many strange things happen

today. Them exploring the great hall wouldn't even be remembered by anyone.

"I'm quite delighted to finally introduce your prince to you on this fine day." Abby started, holding her baby in a

way his face would be visible to all of them while being careful not to make his little body feel uncomfortable.

"He would be called Arlo Ebenezer." With their heightened vision, everyone could see little Arlo's sleeping face

comfortably from their places, before they all congratulated Abby for delivering the baby safely.

"Let this baby bring forth prosperity and joy both to the kingdom and his family, may he be blessed with good

health and life. All hail the little prince, Arlo, Son of Micah Ebenezer."

People parroted the blessings one after another, welcoming the baby, before Abby stopped them. "To mark his

birth, | want to plan a festivity. For the same, | want everyone to be prepared."

Of course, they all agreed with her happily, because they had already forgotten decorum by not visiting the

prince after he was born. No matter what happened, rules were there to be followed, and just because they were

elders it didn't mean they could do as they pleased.

And after answering a few of her supporters’ inquiries about her health and absolving their worries, the woman

finally turned to Arthur.
