Chapter 108

“You have to trust the King, he has been planning for this ambush for a fortnight. He knows what to do.” Another soldier chimed in, prompting others to nod their heads.

He has been planning for a fortnight?

Abby couldn’t believe her ears. Micah only told her how the rogues‘ activity had increased again before they left the Red River pack for the capital city when the news of the royal council being unhappy about her origins and her incapability to rule this kingdom by Micah’s side reached them.

But he didn’t mention anything to her how he was anticipating this attack he had supposedly been preparing for the past fortnight even once.

In the middle of her shock, she heard Ezgar talk to the elite warriors in a low voice. Since he was facing away from her, with all the warriors leaning close to talk in hush voices, the men didn’t know she was eavesdropping on their conversation, openly.

he didn’t let all those in and out of the palace think he was busy preparing for the ceremony for nothing.” Ezgar told his warriors as he looked thoughtful. “Even when he demanded for all the warriors to be well in shape for the ceremony, I didn’t think it was for this purpose at all.”

The King really planned everything very well, he took note of everything as he prepared every possible way out if the situation turned south at the last minute.

Fortunately, they were prepared for this ambush and thus far, everything went smoothly. After all, they had successfully evacuated the great hall and escorted almost all the important guests to this safe place they had prepared beforehand along with the queen

On the other hand, the more Abby listened, the more resentment she felt in her heart. She couldn’t believe Micah could do this to her. If he knew there was going to be an attack on the palace, what was the need to even make her go through all of

that?

He clearly knew all her arrangements would only be for naught since the rogues would eventually destroy everything, even her ceremony.

Yet, he let her go through so much stress, both physical and mental, until she melted into tears right in front of him from fear and tension. Even then, he didn’t feel the need to let her know.

Even when she begged him to cancel the ceremony just two hours before the procession after he saw how she had escaped death just by hair’s breadth, he didn’t yield. At that time, she didn’t understand why he was being so adamant about the ceremony being held as it is.

But she seemed to have gotten an answer to all of her doubts right now.

“He didn’t cancel the ceremony because he didn’t want to ruin the stage he prepared so meticulously to trap them.”

Everything about today was premeditated, from their appearance in the great hall to him crowning her. It was all to achieve. his actual goal to capture those rogues and Abby couldn’t shake off this feeling of betrayal that crept into her heart the more she thought about all her grievances.

They were endless and if she had to list them all out, she didn’t even know where to start.
