“She is my mate.” Micah answered Ruby’s question politely.
Even though she wouldn’t stop trying to step even closer to the King by each second that passed,
Micah only talked to her when necessary, always keeping his responses short and direct.
“She is?” Ruby said, trying to sound polite. She then turned around to face Abbypletely before
giving her a onceover.
When she walked over to Micah earlier, Ruby noticed Abby, but she didn’t think much of her. The girl
was so in she didn’t catch her eye at all. Her clothes, essories or even the air around her was so
simple.
So, the moment Micah said she was his mate, her eyes immediately widened as her face was filled.
with surprise.
Apparently, the rumors she heard were true. Micah, her childhood friend, did find his mate. And it was
this timid woman in front of her.
Abby frowned when she heard her response. She couldn’t tell what she meant by that, coupled with her
appalled face.
Only Ruby recovered too quickly as she smiled broadly. “So you really found her atst.”
She sounded too casual talking to the King of this kingdom. Apart from calling his name, she didn’t try
to refrain from following any other custom. “Hi, I’m Ruby. it’s nice meeting you.”
She sounded extra cheerful too, while her words came out too forceful.
Abby could only nod in the face of her greeting. For some reason, she didn’t like this Ruby girl at all.
“We would make great friends.” Ruby said, not bothering with the way Abby tried to refuse her when
she skipped over to herself and tried holding her hand.
Definitely don’t like her.
Abby thought as she looked at her evil ws with her difort clearly written all over face.
“I think you should go about your day first. Seeing that Abby was ufortable around Ruby, Micah
stepped in to save the situation.
“Why my king, I haven’t had lunch yet either. And it’s been a long time since we met. We could catch
up now,” Ruby said with enthusiasm, not bothering to register how ufortable Abby was feeling for
being touched by her.
“We can find timeter,” Micah said dismissively. It was clear that that time would nevere from
his tone.
However, Ruby acted as if she couldn’t take the hint at all as she continued, “Well, Abby might be busy
then. Since we decided to be friends, wouldn’t it be better if we start being the same

today?”

Meanwhile, Abby couldn’t believe the audacity of this woman. She never agreed to be friends with this
girl.
“But there are only two chairs here,” Micah couldn’t help but point it out, trying to save the hypocritical
woman’s face, only she wasn’t easy to get rid of.
“Oh that’s not a problem at all.” Ruby said to Micah before turning around to face her servants. “Fetch
me a chair,” she ordered and turned around to talk with Abby again.
“Abby, don’t worry. Let’s go to town tomorrow. I will introduce all my friends to you. You will be well
acquainted by the end of this week,” Ruby went ahead and made ns with Abby, without even looking
at Micah now.
She was being unusually enthusiastic that Abby felt a whish with every sentence that left her lips.
“That won’t be necessary. She is not in a rush. Micah refused her again, unable to keep his cool
anymore.

Since he already refused the idea of having lunch with her, her servants didn’t dare to follow her order
and fetch a chair. Even then, Ruby wouldn’t stop.
“How could she not be?” Ruby actually dared to sound disapproving of Micah’s words. “She has no
support here, my king, making new friends and connections with important people is necessary.”
Micah’s expression hardened even more hearing what she was trying to imply. He looked at Abby and
sure enough, her face fell. The frown on her face from earlier was reced with a distraught
expression.
On the other hand, Ruby still seemed to have something to tell.
And when Micah looked down coldly, not saying anything, Ruby took it as himself thinking over her
words. “You know that too. Her background is weak and if she wants to survive in the pce, she could
resort to this method.”
Weak is a mild word to describe Abby’s situation. She was basically an orphan with her namesake
father being exiled from this kingdom.
The unease Abby felt only intensified as Ruby kept implying how she would be seen as an unsuitable
candidate for the position of the Queen of this kingdom.
“Ruby,” Micah sounded so harsh, even Abby felt her heart drop for a second. “You should leave right at
this instant.”
Hearing him speak so sternly to herself, Ruby finally realized she had crossed a line.
“I only mean well…” Ruby trailed off when the King cut her a death re.
“Now,” Micah spoke. His voice was filled with so much authority, Ruby couldn’t stay there anymore.
Micah might use his superior alpha dominance on her if she agitated him further and Ruby knew it
wouldn’t be pretty anymore.

He was genuinely angry and pushing him only meant wishing for early death. Huffing a bit, Ruby turned
around and left with her small
group
“Are you okay?” Micah asked Abby as soon as that annoying fly left his view.
Abby only shook her head in response. They finished their meal in silence as each sumbed to their
own trains of thoughts.
After that, micah sent her to their bedroom before going out to go on about his meetings.
“Here you are.” Abby turned around when she felt like she heard this voice somewhere before.
And the person she saw was thest person she wanted to see any day.
“Miss Ruby,” Abby nodded her head in a greeting.
“Abby, you didn’t forget our appointment, did you?” Ruby asked, her eyes filled with strange light..
“But I didn’t agree to it,” Abby couldn’t help but blurt out.
