His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect

"So, you still know I'm your queen? From the way you talk, they would think I'm the personal maid of your lot."

Abby tried to be a bigger person and didn't throw them out of the palace directly even when she had several reasons to do so. For instance, they defied Micah's ban, talked to her rudely and even tried to speak for an alleged culprit. And all these were done just in one day, if she had to count the first time they met, the list would go on.

She overlooked everything because she thought they were scared for their friend's life, but that didn't mean she would let them order her around. Even if they had everything brought to their feet with just a single order all their lives, they should know that one shouldn't take a mile when they were given an inch.

And Leila could see that Abby wasn't a pushover in any sense, so she immediately tried to smooth out the situation. "Queen Abby, she was just worried about Ruby, don't take it to heart."

On the surface, it looked like she was talking politely, but if heard closely, you would be able to sense the hint of unwillingness in her voice when she called her Queen. These three were really reluctant to accept her, but came to ask for a favor.

Abby really felt they were pitiful, to come and beg someone they looked down on so much should have been quite depressing. But then, could she still call it begging when she didn't hear the word 'please' even once?

She never saw someone so arrogant in her life. She didn't think she could be so patient if she had to watch them 'struggle' any longer. "If you really want to save her, you should go to Micah, not me."

On the other hand, the three women trembled just at the idea of seeking Micah. They knew it was next to impossible, that was why they were here, ignoring the discomfort in their hearts and 'pleading' this half witch.

"You are just jealous of her, and can't wait to get rid of her, right?" Tia burst out, leaving everyone speechless there.

"I'm jealous of her?" Abby was genuinely puzzled by this girl. Is she delusional? "What do I lack when compared to her?" "Queen Abby, she spoke without thinking..."

Leila tried to be a middleman again when she saw Abby turning red from anger, however, the girl cut her off immediately. "Did I ask her to keep her father's evil intentions to harm me, my mate and this kingdom, a secret? She did it of her own accord and now she is going to reap what she sow. I didn't have a hand in what's going to happen to her, but if you don't correct your ways, I'm more than happy to put you in your place personally."

Abby's eyes were filled with obvious warning, making a chill run down their spines. Moreover, the women could tell she wasn't joking about her promise slash threat when they recalled the rumors of her being a powerful witch that could control fire at will.

"Don't go too far..." Giselle tried to act brave, but Abby had enough of this drama.

"Have them thrown out of the palace gates and ask for an explanation from their families," she told Alyssa and saw their faces paling immediately. "Even this isn't going too far in my books. You guys would be better off if you never find out, though."

Before they could cause a ruckus or protest at Abby, they were dragged out of her room by the guards, as if Alyssa and Reyna had long called the men for this possible turn of events.

Their queen was quite impressed by their efficiency and didn't even bother to react when the three women kept shouting how heartless she was.

They didn't know what they were talking about. If she wanted to be heartless, she would have burnt their hair and faces before throwing them out.
