Chapter 43 “I don’t think you are capable enough to take responsibility as the future queen of this kingdom,” Arthur said bluntly when he thought about all the things he observed about her.
The former king couldn't imagine someone as timid and weak as Abby as the future sovereign of this kingdom at all.
She couldn't even face Micah, her own mate, since that night he killed someone, at her own expense. To avenge her.
No, before going there, she couldn't even answer a few of the simple questions he threw at her in al perfectly amicable setting.
If she couldn't even stand up to him, would she be able to stand against all those cunning high ranked shifters from the court? Arthur didn’t even need to think twice about the answer to this question. The answer was clearly flashing in front of him, trembling from head to toe like a girl sized leaf shaking in the wind.
In a situation where she needed to assert her stance, she would crumble before a house of cards could under the light breeze on any given day.
When dealing with the elders, she would be eaten up before she could even blink an eye.
She was so weak, Arthur couldn't help but point it out to her face.
“Someone as weak as you isn’t even meant for places like the court, let alone the Crown or the throne,” Arthur continued, not wanting to hold back at all when he thought about the pressure Abby would have to face if she went ahead with Micah’s plans.
Speaking about Micah’s plans, Arthur felt happy that the ceremony had been postponed until further notice. He heard that Micah was planning to push it back as much as possible.
He was aiming to postpone it for at least six months.
It was not too late...
“Abby, | suggest you don’t go through with the ceremony. The shoes of a queen are too big for a small girl like you to fill in,” Arthur was now ordering Abby around.
On the other hand, Abby felt her head spinning with every thought that racked her brain.
And even though she felt like she needed to say something to defend herself, every word that cout of the former king’s mouth didn’t give her a chance at all, as each of them pierced through her heart like a serrated knife..
However, Arthur wasn’t done yet.
“It would be better if you leave this place before it’s too late,” he advised her, looking really serious.
The moment these words left Arthur's lips, Abby could literally see her world crumbling beneath 1/5 16:15 Fri, 8 Mar Chapter 43 her feet.
60%[] Even though Arthur was only talking about herself being unsuitable for the role of the queen of this kingdom, Abby could clearly hear what he wasn’t saying out loud.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had concluded that she wasn’t suitable for Micah.
‘Do not go through with the ceremony,’ he said. In other words, he was saying for herself not to complete her mate bond with Micah.
And Arthur's next words implied what he didn’t say until then even more clearly. “Life in the palace doesn’t suit someone like you. If you are wise enough, you would figure out a way to get out of here before things get too complicated.” Arthur didn’t hold back when he literally forced his opinion on Abby, as he thought what he was doing was the right thing.
Since she couldn't shoulder such a huge responsibility, the only sensible thing she could do was leave Micah alone. If she didn’t realize how this would all turn out to be a disaster, she wouldn't be able to face the consequences of her own actions later either.
No matter what she did, she would never be able to becsomeone worthy of his son or the position of the queen of this mighty kingdom.
On the other hand, Abby felt even more devastated for being told to leave Micah by his own father.
The tears she had been holding back couldn’t be stopped anymore as they formed twin streams down her cheeks.
But she didn’t make a sound as usual as she stood there like a child being scolded for something she couldn't comprehend, breaking down in tears pitifully but not daring to let out a single sob.
She was heartbroken.
How could she not? If she didn’t complete her bond with Micah and left the palace, she would literally have nowhere else to go.
She would be on her own, all alone in this world.
On the other hand, the more Abby couldn’t say anything to retort any of his claims, the more Arthur believed this was the right thing to do.
“You won't be able to endure life in the palace.” Arthur continued to persuade Abby.
He didn’t bother to stop and see what kind of effect his words had had on Abby anymore.
In his eyes, an easily frightened girl like her was nowhere equal to his own formidable son.
On the other hand, Abby could see the disapproval in the former king's eyes and her anxiousness increased by each second that passed.
What she was afraid of happening had happened.
2/5 16:15 Fri, 8 Mar RGB.
Chapter 43 60% First, it was Ruby and her friends. They knew she was Micah’s mate, but they all felt Ruby suited. him more than herself. Even so, they hadn't been too direct about their displeasure over her stealing Ruby's childhood sweetheart.
Then it was the guard. Yes, he didn’t know she was Micah’s mate, but him being unable to picture herself as the King’s other half had what pushed her away from Micah for three weeks.
Her heart couldn’t take the disgust he showed when she claimed to be Micah’s mate, not to mention the humiliation that followed.
Now, it was the former king, Micah’s own father. Everyone had the sthought, she wasn’t suitable for Micah.
The guards’ derisive laughter at herself claiming to be the mate of the King of werewolves at the palace gates that night reverberated in her ears as she realized how out of her league Micah looked in everyone else’s eyes here.
And this thought plunged her mood even more, as she cried even harder, which only irritated Arthur as he changed gears and attacked her actively, forgetting all about passive approach.
“You are not suitable for Micah and when he finally realizes it, he will abandon you without a second thought,” Arthur said, his voice coming out even.
But if one looked at his closed fist behind his back, they could tell the former king was trying to control his temper.
Even though he believed he should let her understand the severity of this situation, he still knew being too aggressive would only make this fragile girl feel even more flustered.
She was crying so much, he doubted if she would faint on the spot from all the dehydration.
A shifter getting dehydrated from crying too much. He never thought it could happen, but her thin frame, Arthur didn’t doubt he might witness such a scene this evening.
seeing She was too fragile and weak, both physically and mentally, to be even considered as an extremely weak shifter.
“But we are mates,” Abby finally muttered, her voice inaudible as she herself didn’t really believe if what she said just now was true.
She still couldn't feel the mate bond between herself and Micah, the very thing that forced her into this life in the first place.
But, Micah was sure they were mates. So, he couldn’t abandon her, Right? “How long do you think the mate bond can keep two persons with differences in every aspect possible together?” Arthur dismissed her barely audible retort.
He could have missed her words, if he hadn't been a shifter with excellent hearing abilities. A bee would make a louder buzz than her almost mouthed words earlier.
3/5 16:15 Fri, 8 Mar RGB.
Chapter 431 This was why she was not suitable for the throne or his son.
“It would be naive of you to think that a mate bond alone is enough to make two persons stay together for life, Arthur continued, his voice patronising.
Sure, a mate bond would bring two persons together, but it wasn’t enough to make up for every shortcoming one might find in their partner.
Especially where interests of a whole kingdom were in the picture.
60%%% Sooner or later, the mate bond would fade away with all the sacrifices one person had to make just to accommodate his mate, but then what? “Once it fades away, and Micah realizes you are nothing but a burden, what will he do?” Arthur wasn't really loud, but his words weren't soft either.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere were so many things a sovereign needed to take care of. It would be a constant battleground once a person ascended a throne and wore a crown.
It wasn’t for faint hearted, like Abby, in a nutshell.
So, he decided to present her with the harsh truth before things were too late, and everyone involved either got hurt or ended up with regrets.
“He would regret the very day he found you and there will be only more pain to endure than now, when everything is still simple and uncomplicated.” Arthur's voice was even as he pinned Abby with a look.
The girl was still crying without making any sound. He never saw someone even afraid of crying out loud.
He couldn't help but doubt what kind of life she had before coming to the palace...
Had she suffered so much until she didn’t dare express her grievances... or had she lived an insanely pampered life where she never had to face any kind of harsh situations until she was this spoiled? He couldn't tell anymore. But the frightened yet heartbroken look in her eyes coupled with her soundless cries were enough reason for him to justify his own actions, “Remember what | said and make a wise decision. Leave the palace as soon as possible,” Arthur finally said as he turned around to walk away with his guards and servants after one final look at Abby.
If she was wise enough, she would understand that the palace was not a place for someone like her.
On the other hand, Alyssa and Reyna rushed to Abby the moment the former king called his entourage to leave.
“Lady Abby, your eyes are swollen really badly, what happened?” Reyna asked when she noticed how sad Abby looked.
“Does it hurt anywhere?” Alyssa asked after a long moment when tears kept streaming down Abby's face while the girl wouldn't say anything.
4/5 60%[] Chapter 13 “Lady Abby, where are you going?” Alyssa and Reyna almost felt their hearts breaking as they watched Abby slowly walk back to her bedroom while hugging herself.
The personal maids looked at each other, not understanding the situation at all.
Abby looked devastated to say the least, and they felt it had something to do with her meeting with the former king.
But as they were pushed to the far end of the entourage, they couldn't hear a thing Arthur said to Abby.
As such, with confused minds, the maids followed Abby to her bedroom while asking her a few more times why she was crying.
However, they didn’t have any other choice but to give up after a few failed attempts and keep Abby company in silence when the girl would do nothing but cry her eyes out as she leaned onto the headboard of the bed inside her bedroom.
Seeing her like this. Alyssa and Reyna felt their heart's bleeding for her.
In no time, dinner tcand went, but Abby didn’t touch her food.
She stopped crying at spoint, but she didn’t move from her position on the bed as she kept staring straight ahead. At nothing in particular.
She stayed still for three hours as if she fell deep into her own thoughts. And when the maids started contemplating how they should let Micah know this, Abby said something unexpected.
“Can you find out where King Micah is?” Abby asked, rubbing her cheeks before looking back and forth between Alyssa and Reyna.
