His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect

"As the queen of this kingdom, it is my responsibility to shoulder this burden of overseeing everything in the kingdom when our king is absent. So I hope you will all cooperate with me."

As soon as those words left her lips, pin drop silence fell in the great hall for a moment, before various disagreeing voices rose in the air, plunging the room into chaos.

"Does she even understand what she is talking about?"

"She is still wet behind the ears, but dares to order us around?"

"How preposterous! Even if the king is here today, he has to give us some face. Who do you think you are?"

Several other voices echoed, as they expressed their dissatisfaction over her audacious decision. She didn't even discuss anything with them, even though she said she was here to have a discussion.

"Do you call this a discussion? You are clearly trying to throw your non-existent weight around here."

"You think you can come here and act as you please just because the king always has your back?"

On the other hand, Abby waited for them to bark all they wanted as she stood in her place, with her arms folded across her chest while her face gave away nothing. She saw how almost all of them felt offended by her order.

Yes, it was an order, not a request. So she was not in a hurry to explain herself. She even stopped Alan from going forward to stop them when a couple of elders let their egos get the better of them. "We won't agree to this unreasonable request of yours."

"You don't even know how to take care of yourself, but here you are, saying you want to shoulder the responsibilities of the queen, where you need to think about thousands of people's well being?" Except for Arthur, almost everyone protested until they realized Abby just stood there, watching them with this blank expression on her face, and slowly their voices died down as they began staring daggers at the girl.

However, the recipient of their ire didn't seem to be bothered at all, as she finally opened her mouth again. "I know I'm still inexperienced, isn't it why I'm here, seeking your guidance?"

Her very first sentence left them tongue tied, because the girl just said what she had in her mind before they started shouting at her that she was trying to bite off more than she could chew. It was them who didn't give her any chance to talk about her purpose of coming here.

They just assumed things when she said she wanted them all to report to her. However, before they could feel embarrassed for their collective outburst, Abby continued to rip them a new one with every single sentence of hers.
