After Micah discussed with Abby, they both decided to keep the news about her pregnancy a secret from everyone else. Even though they both understood how important a piece of news this was to the whole kingdom, especially since all of their people had been waiting for the king's firstborn, who was going to inherit the throne next, for quite a while now.

This was in no way a small or trivial matter, but Micah still felt it wasn't as serious as protecting Abby and their yet to be born baby. With that matter pushed to the backs of their minds, Micah urged the healers to help Abby recover as soon as possible.

Surprisingly, even his little stubborn mate, who would always complain about taking bitter medicine, didn't make a fuss and focused on recuperating as soon as possible.

"You have changed so much." Micah couldn't help but grimace one evening, when he saw her almost choking on the bitter medicine.

She quickly stuffed the candied fruit Micah prepared for her before turning her eyes to her mate. She had been actively asking for her meals and medicines to be taken care of timely, which was truly unlike her. "Yes, because I want to regain my previous vigor and more," Abby said, her eyes flashed with this sudden look of determination. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I know what you are thinking, but you really don't have to get involved anymore..." Micah's voice trailed off when his little one glared at him. Even though she was concerned about the baby and came forward to cultivate her health, she was also focusing on things he believed he could handle alone just fine.

"We already talked about this." Her tone conveyed that she wouldn't back down from her decision. "And, we decided we would do this together, long back."

"I know, but I don't think you need to exert yourself, especially given your current condition." The King still tried to persuade her.

"That's why I suggested that I will work remotely," Abby asserted, wiping her lips, feeling a little repulsed by the strong taste in her mouth. "So I won't need to go anywhere."

"Sending Mirella to investigate on your behalf was indeed effective, but do you need to rush so much like this?" The king should agree, his little mate was even more stubborn than himself.

"Yes, because no one will wait for us to prepare fully before attacking us." Abby was adamant, and the king could only give up.

They had been having this conversation almost every other two hours since Abby woke up, and the answer he got was always the same. But he still tried one last time to talk her out of it.

"Why do you need to investigate that groove anyway?" Micah couldn't understand this part. "You said that place spooked you out."

Abby told him the strangeness of that place. But he didn't understand why she thought it wouldn't be as simple as them accidentally landing there.

"Precisely because of that," Abby said, but then she didn't know how to explain her actual reasons. "That place reeked of something really strange, there was both dark and normal magic there." But it didn't make any sense to even herself, let alone to Micah, who wasn't really knowledgeable about magic.

Both normal magic and dark magic at the same place? Was it even possible?

"Once Mirella returns, she will elaborate on the situation." Abby sounded sure.

In fact, she regretted why she didn't think of asking Mirella to take a look when she found Abby and Micah with the assistance of the royal gamma and the others there.
