His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect -
Chapter 40
Chapter 40
“They had been waiting for years just to listen to the news of you meeting your mate.”
Alan’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 circulating 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 circulating 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 to comb through the streets for a girl.
“Even the elders are urging you to let them meet her.” Alan 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 a completely 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.” Alan 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,” Alan 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,” Alan 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 palace 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 Alan’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,” Alan 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…” Alan almost shouted.
Even though it had been more than two weeks since Micah brought Abby here, he never allowed anyone to approach her.
And the incident literally made him hide her from all of them.
Coupled with their restlessness, it would only complicate the situation for Micah.
“They might really do something st upid, if you resist them this much… “Alan couldn’t help but warn Micah in the end.
Only Micah’s harsh voice cut Alan’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.”
Alan 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 headache coming 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 according 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 at last.
