His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect

"Do you even understand what you are saying?" Abby's face was a painting of pure horror as she regarded

Arthur carefully as if he lost his mind before his mate could. "It's too dangerous, | won't agree to it."

"It's better than exposing Arlo to him." The former king argued back.

"But it is his introduction ceremony, you can't just ask us to stay behind and go out there alone."

"lI won't go alone..." Arthur began, but then saw Abby retreat hastily as if the man would snatch her son and bolt

right now. "God, woman. Listen tofor a second. I'll go there with a fake baby...

Now, Abby looked like she lost a few brain cells. When Arthur said he wanted to apologize for what he was about

to do to her again, this new yet impromptu plan was not what she was expecting.

"But, you won't be able to fight him off. Did you forget that only | can seal him away?" Abby explained this to him

so many times. "And it should be the royal parents who should sit in the carriage with the new prince, if you

went with a fake baby, the capital would be in an uproar even before Calpin tried to do anything."

"Well, | understand where you are coming from. But it hasn't been confirmed that the dark magic user will make

an appearance personally even if he decides to attack the palace."

Abby had to agree with him on this, so she kept silent.

"And if | was the one to introduce baby Arlo, our ruse would look even more believable. Who knows, Calpin might

indeed take the bait and cdown here to lead the attack."

"Why are you looking excited about that? You can't fight him. Or are you trying to turn this into a real suicide

mission?" Having dumped these new plans on her head, Abby felt a little light headed and thought of the worst

first.

"NO, no..." Arthur denied, first loudly then softly. "I'm just trying to make the most of the situation. Didn't we

agree Calpin coming here would be advantageous to us? If he didn't come, it wouldn't be worth it to put Arlo

through all of that."

"But what if he did come? You know what he is capable of, right?" Abby was scared Arthur and the others

wouldn't even get a proper chance to retaliate before they found themselves flattened to the ground. Some

"I have a solution if he makes an appearance. I'll give you a loud and obvious signal if he does and you can take

over from there." Arthur explained patiently to Abby, who was agitated over the fact how much destruction that

dark magic sorcerer would unleash upon the capital city.

"|..." Abby didn't know what to make out of his sudden selflessness.

"I just want you three to stay safe, if things could be handled by us men just fine." Arthur gestured for Neesha

with his right hand, who stood silently on the side during the entire tthey talked, her eyes trained on baby

Arlo, not once taking them off his little frame. "Now this looks like a real apology."

Abby said, surprising both of them, as the man didn't know where to look now. Because this man ca long

way from rejecting his own grandson through those nasty rumors, then trying to kill them both to now wanting to

protect them both. "So, walk through your plan withagain. You wanted to go out there, carrying a fake

baby..."

Abby started talking again when the room plunged into awkward silence, silently agreeing to his change of plans,

before the former king sobered up as he took over the responsibility of out laying his whole plan.

Since, it was a tradition for the new prince to go visit the people of this kingdom on his introduction ceremony, it

was the most tricky tfor them to anticipate the attack.

Out in the open, they would be vulnerable even if all the warriors were ordered to escort the small entourage of

Abby and her son through the royal parade along the streets.

So Arthur cup with this plan, where he would go instead of Abby with a fake baby. Since people didn't know

how Arlo looked, they wouldn't be able to tell the baby in his arms was fake. Moreover, all newborn babies looked

the same.

It would be to their advantage, as Abby's absence would add fuel to the running rumors, which would make the

people think of the worst. They could also sell the rumor that Abby was dying more efficiently.

"You and Arlo would wait in here until the ceremony is over, or Calpin attacks." Arthur looked conflicted about

this part. "I'll put a few people around here, both in the open and in secret."

Since Neesha had a serious health condition, no one would question even if she sat this whole ceremony out,

just like she did during the mating ceremony of Micah and Abby.

"Someone would be in the king's bedroom as well, to pose as you. Just in case." Arthur really thought of

everything.

While Neesha's absence might not provoke any doubts, Abby's disappearance would be able to, so Arthur

wanted to take care of that part as well.

"I only thought you wanted to help this kingdom." Abby had this amused smirk on her lips now. "You even tried

to save this kingdom from me. Twice."

Arthur was flustered when Abby made light of his actions using such a sarcastic tone. "I've already apologized for

my actions. You are not to bring any of it up again."

Abby was dumbfounded now, he apologized? Even if he thought he did, did he hear her accepting it? But she

chose to take pity on the man instead. He was trying to do the right thing now, she could forgive him.

"So what kind of loud and obvious sign would you make if Calpin appeared?" Abby dragged him back into their «

discussion, because Arthur had to leave for the ceremony soon.
