True to her words, Abby really marched to the great hall, as Deion gathered all the warriors in the palace, guards included, to follow their queen.

"Abby, you just woke up. I don't think you should exert yourself like this. Alan is already there. He can deal with the former king." Mirella frowned hard, feeling Abby didn't need to step in herself when she was still healing from a life threatening wound. "Yes, Abby, please reconsider your health, don't be too hard on yourself," Nadia completely agreed with the witch as she too tried to persuade Abby. "You should focus on recovering and also your newborn baby." Mirella was really concerned.

"No, guys. While I agree I probably need more rest, confronting Arthur is a more pressing issue." Abby said to them, her voice unhurried as Alyssa tied up her now waist length hair into a half bun. "I know Alan could deal with him for me just fine. But how many times? Eventually, I have to face him, so why don't I just do it today?" Mirella couldn't find any fault with her reasoning. "But what if things go south?"

"Well, let's hope I have enough muscle power to back me up." Abby gestured to the door, where Deion was waiting with the warriors under Alan and Dax.

And she made sure to make good use of the said muscle power, because she didn't enter the great hall alone, as Deion followed her until she reached the throne, where Arthur was sitting now, along with a bunch of elite warriors.

It had the desired effect when gasps rang out in the great hall, before Arthur seethed in fury. "What is the meaning of this? Are you challenging the throne?"

He really thought he had all the authority to hog the throne, didn't he? Abby felt like scoffing seeing his reaction, but she managed to school her expression as she had this blank yet cold gaze in her eyes instead.

"In what world do one need to challenge their own position?" Abby asked, seeming genuinely confused with Arthur's outburst.

"Then what do you call your actions now? Isn't it rebelling against the crown?"

"Look clearly, former king Arthur, ain't I wearing my crown?" Abby taunted him openly now, pointing at her own head, where her crown was sitting, a sight nothing but glaring in the former king's eyes. Enjoying the book?
