Chapter 109

When Ezgar noticed how she looked so unwell with all the blood drained from her countenance, he immediately dispersed the elite warriors talking to him and approached Abby to inquire what happened to her.

However, he wouldn’t have expected the reason for her sadness to be their lack of thoughtfulness to let her know about this rogue attack beforehand.

But the only problem was; it was a confidential task for the royal army and he wasn’t supposed to talk about it to anyone else, especially after the king emphasized how they were not to breathe a word about it.

“No, trust me, I really didn’t know about the attack until last night,” he told her truthfully as he wanted to clear the misunderstanding.

He really didn’t know about the attack because Micah didn’t really talk to them about it explicitly.

In fact, the king only said that he needed the chiefs like Ezgar to make the training of everyone from the elite warriors more intense than usual the night he announced he was going to hold a ceremony in less than two weeks.

Since, the time was of essence, it didn’t raise doubts among them as to why he would ask them to train intensely all of a sudden.

Everyone thought that with the increasing rogue attacks for the past couple of months, the King was just being cautious but no one would have thought he was only pressuring them to be well in shape for a real attack.

Even last night, Micah only mentioned in passing how they couldn’t let their guard down during the ceremony as there would be so many guests arriving from all over the kingdom.

But since they were words uttered by their sovereign, of course, no warrior thought of slacking off.

Moreover, if their security was really compromised during a visit to the capital, how in the world would they believe the king to protect his people that scattered all over this huge empire of werewolves?

So they didn’t leave any room for laziness as they diligently followed the regimen set by the king himself.

But looking back now, even though it appeared to be some last minute contingency plan, no one in the royal army was naive enough to think that the King was just being cautious and told them to be prepared just in case.

That was why his warriors were a little excited over how the King could execute his plan without letting others doubt his intentions.

In their perspective, their king proved himself to be an excellent strategist by planning every little detail to tackle the attack this time around.

The only inconvenience for the elite royal warriors that were ordered to escort and protect the guests was, they couldn’t contribute much in this situation.

They were all trained especially to put down enemies whenever they were facing a crisis of battle, but now they were restricted to babysitting these people who were gossiping to no end. After all, they couldn’t understand what was going on with the attack and the successive rescue.

On the one hand, they couldn’t answer their queries, since Micah didn’t allow them to talk about his plan with the guests or anyone for that matter. On the other hand, they felt impatient to sit around while a huge battle was going on just a few feet away from them.
