Chapter 40
“They had been waiting for years just to listen to the news of you meeting your mate.”
n’s voice sounded a bit louder than earlier, as he wanted to make Micah understand where he was
coming from.
The whole kingdom had been anxious for their king to find his mate as he had been crowned for so
many years.
Now that they had been shown some hope, even through the rumors, they were bound to raise hands.
The people were restless with the rumors circting among them full force.
It would have been fine if they didn’t get their hopes up after that rumor of their king searching for his
missing future queen started circting around.
But most of them were sure with the way the King almost turned an entire town upside down when he
brought hundreds of warriors tob through the streets for a girl.
“Even the elders are urging you to let them meet her.” n reminded Micah when he did not say
anything for a long moment.
Dealing with the people was one thing, since they didn’t know anything for sure, Micah didn’t have to
bother about answering their unspoken questions…
But the elders’ pestering was apletely different thing.
They were clearly aware that their future queen had been found. But the King was hiding her. He
wouldn’t let them meet her no matter what they said to him.
“I will talk to them,” Micah said in a matter of fact tone.
“But, how long can you stop them? They would get frustrated if this continued and might do something
stup id.” n couldn’t help but remind the King.
“As long as I can,” Micah said in a determined tone.
“I don’t think that’s going to end well with their recent displeasure over your decision to punish Ruby,”
n said, feeling the need to warn Micah.
The former royal beta, his predecessor, Leon, had been spreading stories that the King was punishing
his daughter over a small misunderstanding.
He didn’t forget to imply that Micah had always been level headed before Abby came along.
However, he was cun ning enough to be subtle about it. He didn’t bring up Abby’s role in Micah’s
behavioral change.
He simply said Micah was doing things out of the norm.
So when people from the court thought about it a bit hard, they were automatically reminded of the fact
that Abby was the center of all these conflicts.

Leon was trying to pressure him, using public opinion against his mate to make the King let his own
daughter off the h ook.

“Leon was being backed up by the fathers of those three women. Now, everyone is taking his side,”
n continued when Micah didn’t say anything about his earlier statement.
If it had been Leon alone, he couldn’t have stirred the people too much. But Ruby’s three friends also
came from influential families of this capital city.
And their fathers were not happy that their precious daughters had been banned from entering the
pce for a whole year.
So, they were all singing the same tune and the court was restless…
“They won’t be able to do much,” Micah dismissed n’s concerns. “I got this. I can handle them.”
“But, the elders’ target is not making things difficult for yourself. Whatever Leon was telling them was
only making them want to meet Abby even more,” n could only point it out to Micah.
“I will not rush her. She won’t be able to handle it,” Micah said with finality.
“But they have been waiting for weeks now…” n almost shouted.
Even though it had been more than two weeks since Micah brought Abby here, he never allowedBelongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
anyone to approach her.
And the incident literally made him hide her from all of them.
Coupled with their restlessness, it would onlyplicate the situation for Micah.
“They might really do something st upid, if you resist them this much… “n couldn’t help but warn
Micah in the end.
Only Micah’s harsh voice cut n’s sentence in the middle. “I’ll see what they can do.” Micah didn’t
seem ruffled by this whole affair. “They can wait a few more weeks to meet her.”
n could only stop talking when he understood that the King wouldn’t budge on this matter. But the
frown on his face mirrored his feelings over this turn of events.
“Sir, only you can do something about this. You know how unyielding King Micah could be,” Leon said,
as he almost knelt in front of Arthur.
Arthur felt a headacheing when he listened to Leon’s continuous ramblings.
This was the fourth time he came to meet him this week, just to plead for his daughter’s innocence.
*Since you already know, how do you expect him to listen to me?’ This was on the tip of Arthur’s
tongue, but he didn’t have it in himself to say this.
Just a few years back, everything was still under his control. But now, not even his own son was willing
to listen to him.

He couldn’t stomach this fact. Even though Micah was the King now, he was still his son and Arthur
wasn’t happy with the way he talked to himself about this matter.
When he only wanted to make his son understand that he was being controlled by his emotions. A
good sovereign shouldn’t let his emotions run amok.
“He is confident that Ruby is involved somehow,” Arthur could only say this when the former royal beta
wouldn’t stop whining.
“It’s just a misunderstanding, just talk to him once again. My poor daughter has been confined to her
bedroom for the past two weeks.” Leon repeated the same thing again and Arthur couldn’t take it
anymore.
“I’ll see what I can do about it. Just leave for now.” Arthur’s voice came out strained, showing his
displeasure clearly.
However, Leon simply chose to ignore it as he strode out happily.
On the other hand, Arthur knew he couldn’t change Micah’s decision. But ording to Leon, everyone
else in the court was unhappy as well.
“Maybe I should directly meet his mate, the center of all this,” Arthur thought out loud atst.
