His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect

Abby listened to her personal maid Reyna as she recounted what the people had been saying about their queen's good deeds for the past month.

"They finally knew how kind and nice you are, My Queen," the girl said, feeling proud that she realized her master's exceptional traits long before anyone else did. "I can't explain how happy I am right now." Abby could only shake her head at the girl's antics, because she felt Reyna was just exaggerating. However, her next words made the queen realize she didn't dote on her maids for nothing.

"When they said all those nasty things about you, I had never let them have peace."

"What did you do?"

"I fought them, naturally. Only then did they learn to keep their mouths shut."

Abby didn't know Reyna fought the others for her honor, and when the girl reiterated how she couldn't take those people speaking nonsense about Abby, she felt very touched.

Apparently, being alone here, Reyna was subjected to ridicule several times, even though it wasn't direct insults, as she caught the people from Arthur's old tower a few times running their mouths, in retaliation of which she had minor altercations with those people who forgot fear with the former king backing them up.

Just a couple of days before Abby returned to the capital, Reyna ended up rebuking them again, which led to a verbal battle between her and the other party until a few warriors stepped in. She got lucky to put it simply.

"Reyna, you aren't as strong as them. What would you have done if they ganged up on you?"

It was Alyssa, who voiced her dissatisfaction over Reyna's impulsiveness. Even though they all belonged to the same rank, she was alone while the other party had numbers.

She had been able to avoid bigger trouble only because a few other warriors were there to mediate the situation. If she had been alone, she didn't know what would have happened to this impulsive girl.

"Even if I suffer a little, it was worth protecting my master's honor, so I won't regret it." Reyna answered, not even batting an eyelid and Abby didn't know how to make this girl understand she didn't didn't need to risk anything for her.

"Reyna, they aren't worth either mine or your time, so don't be impulsive again.”

However, Reyna didn't promise her anything, other than lowering her head in submission, and Abby didn't understand if her maid would heed her advice.

Alyssa could also see this, so she changed the topic. Reyna would come around eventually.

"My Queen, you said you need to meet royal beta Alan to talk about something."

Abby did have something important to talk to the royal beta, and her mood plummeted a little at the idea. She didn't know what news Alan had for her. Alyssa and Reyna then assisted Abby to dress accordingly, before Deion took over as he escorted the queen to the strategy room where Alan was waiting for her.
