Chapter 97

Just like what he wrote in the letter to her, Micah didn’t show any signs of returning for the night even when Abby lay awake in the bed for another hour after sending her maids away to rest.

Alyssa and Reyna repeatedly expressed their concern over her disappearance in the middle of the night when she didn’t reveal her impromptu meeting with Ezgar, until Abby couldn’t take it.

Abby had to literally push the girls out of her room when they refused to leave, insisting on accompanying her since the King made it clear he wouldn’t return tonight. Not to mention, their master’s little stunt in the middle of the night.

“Lady Abby, one of us is supposed to keep you company while the King is away,” Alyssa stressed as Reyna nodded her head in agreement.

“I’m in the bedroom, with guards right outside the door,” Abby countered. “And I really want to be alone.”

Only when Abby asserted her stance did the two girls finally leave, even though they looked like they had more to say to her.

Now, she was back to staring at the chandelier high above her head, thinking about Ezgar’s idea. He actually told her to imagine the attendees as flowers while delivering the speech.

“Even though the entire capital city would be at the palace on that day, you wouldn’t really be able to look at their faces clearly, they will appear just like this ocean of flowers before you, small and crowded,” Ezgar said, seconding his idea.

Abby remembered how she couldn’t help but point out the loophole in his plan. “But what about the elders who would be literally in my face?”

Ezgar laughed at her words. “Then think of them as statues.” He blurted out after giving it a thought.

Abby had to cover her mouth when an embarrassingly loud chuckle left her lips at his silly ideas, but when Ezgar explained how her fear was all in her mind and that she was giving herself too much pressure by overthinking things, Abby couldn’t help but feel how true his words were.

Thinking back to it, Ezgar’s advice wasn’t really that bad. Just like he said, she couldn’t really look at their faces clearly from such a distance. Not to mention her senses weren’t as sharp as the shifters.

“What you can’t see and hear won’t be able to affect you,” Abby repeated Ezgar’s conclusion out loud as she couldn’t help but think how true his words were.

“His idea is not really bad,” Abby whispered to herself as she finally slipped into a light yet peaceful slumber even though Micah wasn’t by her side tonight.
