His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect

Abby's plan was pretty simple, but it needed strategic execution. "There was a reason | am rushing the

ceremony | announced for my son...

"When the tcomes, | want you to use your connections and let Calpin know about this festivity. According to

my understanding of him, he will definitely try to make ripples to disrupt the non existent peace settled over the

kingdom upon the birth of Arlo... "He will send rogues, but there is also a high possibility for him to make a

personal appearance if rumors spread that I'm seriously injured."

When Abby decided to announce the news of her attack to the public three months back, she didn't actually

expect it would chandy for her current plan. And when she was attacked the second time, Arthur went

ahead and made a grand scene until everyone in the capital learnt she got injured right after giving birth to Arlo.

Moreover, Arthur also made sure the humiliation Abby slapped him with didn't escape the closed doors of the

great hall. Apart from the royal council and the several trusted warriors in the palace, no one knew what Abby's

current condition was.

Even if they learned she woke up from her coma, with Arthur's help, she planned to keep her recovery a secret,

no matter if she got better or worse.

"With the mess of our internal conflicts aired for the world to see, Calpin would be tempted to chere." Abby

was quite confident with her plan. "If we use these cards to our favor, we may be able to surprise him."

Arthur remained silent as he let her explain everything she had on her mind. He only spoke when Abby was

finally finished speaking. "But you are rushing this too much."

"I have a valid reason for it." Abby smirked at his confusion. "I want people to think you were ignoring my current

condition and wanted to do whatever you pleased to do. | want you to announce to the capital that you are

holding the ceremony for your grandson." What happened in the great hall the day before didn't make it past the

palace gates, it included Abby's decision to hold an introduction ceremony for her newborn baby. With her

making Arthur announce it like this, the public would be left wondering, unable to understand what actually was

going on in the palace.

Well, gossip like court politics would snag such attention that the longer they circulate, the more ridiculous they

would becuntil the actual truth got distorted so much, no one would be able to tell what was the real story

anymore.

And Abby wanted to feed the people with half truths, she was giddy at the thought of how absurdly people's wild

imagination could play to their favor.

Hearing her, Arthur couldn't help but agree her plan was quite cunning and really genius. But he was conflicted

about one part. "So you want to lure Calpin all the way here?"

From her words earlier, they already had the possible location of Calpin's current hideout. So wouldn't it be easy

to march there instead of attracting chaos to their doorstep?

"Yeah, that's what | plan to do." Abby replied calmly. "It was already a plan proven to be effective, so | don't see

why we couldn't resort to it a second time."

"What do you mean?!" Arthur felt a little puzzled by her words. "When did you lure Calpin out of his hiding?"

"| didn't say it waswho lured him before." Abby felt her throat clogging in a bit. "It was Micah, you remember

the rogue attack on the day of my crowning ceremony?"

Arthur suddenly felt stupid. Because how did he not realize this before? Everyone was still puzzled over the fact

how those rogues managed to breach the highly protected perimeter of the capital city, before attacking Micah

in their own fr#*+kg palace.

But now he had an answer. It was his son's plan all along. He wanted to lay a trap for Calpin under the disguise

of being busy with his own mating ceremony and had succeeded until the part where rogues showed up.

Then his former beta ruined all his efforts by trying to get rid of Abby. The devastation left in the wake of those

two events was unimaginable. People were still trying to recover from all the damage even after months, and

now Abby wanted to try the sthing? "And then you wantto fight him right in the palace? But it will be

filled with people, commoners and high ranking shifters. It is really risky." Arthur couldn't help but point out.

"I know, but it's worth giving it a shot." Abby said as she explained it to him briefly. "For the fighting part, we

have to cup with a suitable strategy to reduce losses on our side."

Only two things had the ability to jeopardize her plan. Aside from fighting Calpin, they would also be occupied

with protecting the innocents. However, it wasn't possible to avoid deaths in a war, they could only try to

minimize them as much as possible. Arthur agreed with her, deaths were inevitable in wars. After discussing a

little more, they concluded the meeting for now. They needed to discuss how they should prepare the warriors

later.

"Thank you for agreeing to help me." Abby said, a small but genuine smile lifting up the corners of her lips.

"That's where you are wrong. Don't think too highly of yourself?" Arthur gave her a disdainful frown. "I'm not

here to help you. | only want to help my kingdom."

Abby just looked at him, and the man frowned even harder. "I still hate you. This is only a temporary truce. If you

didn't say there is a possibility for my son to be still alive, | wouldn't even have spared this suicide mission

another thought." "Okay, | understand." Abby said simply. "Then, thank you for putting our grudges aside for

now."
