His Sweet Little Mate by Obticeo Decatect

"Just because you were attacked in the palace, who are you trying to point your fingers at?"

The moment these words reverberated in the great hall, all commotion died out as everyone turned to look at Arthur pointedly. Their expressions ranged from puzzled to alarmed when the meaning of the former king's words slowly but surely registered in their minds.

A second later, faint noises of people murmuring among themselves filled the silence as they asked each other if what they heard just now was the same as what they thought they heard was.

All nineteen members in the current royal council had rushed back to the king's tower when they received summons for an impromptu meeting in the middle of the night.

It was close to midnight and for Abby to make such a request, they realized it had to be really something important. But the girl chose to start this conversation with an explosive piece of news. "Someone tried to kill me!"

People who constantly opposed Abby, like Fabron, Mark and Pedro, felt their faces turn pale at her words as they looked at each other before roaming their eyes over the rest. However, no one seemed suspicious enough, which was also noticed by Abby. So she went on as she explained how a few royal warriors had turned their back against the throne and dared to kill all the guards stationed around her sleeping quarters before trying to assassinate herself.

A collective gasp could be heard as they all sucked in a cold breath.

"Fortunately, Melissa was by my side," she slowly said, reiterating the turn of events, but the longer she talked, the harsher her tone seemed.

As she explained, she could feel this sense of restlessness among the elders, as if they couldn't tell where this conversation was heading. Neither her opposers, nor her supporters could find their voices as they listened to her speak. "My maid almost died protecting me, even now, she is still not out of danger!"

Even though Nadia reassured her that Alyssa would be fine after a few days of recuperating, Abby chose to keep it a secret for now. She wanted to put pressure on her adversaries and she was going to use every little thing to achieve it.

As the final nail in the coffin, she paused for a moment to let them stew over her words before opening her mouth again leisurely. "I want to announce this to the public, and let them know their queen is being schemed against."To avoid an incomplete reading experience, visit Jobn'i'b.com. She didn't explicitly say that she was going to announce there had been a coup against her, but making this news public would not be any different.

Abby then looked at all the members of the royal council, one by one, after she finished her speech, and this made all hell break loose as one after one came up with excuses for themselves or speculations over the incident.

The ones who shouted out excuses were the people who had been opposing Abby, while the latter were the ones who had been supporting the queen all these months.
