Chapter 30 æ°:66%åº By the time Alyssa could get rid of Rubyâs maids, it was well past the afternoon tea time. As soon as she gor rid of them, she immediately relayed the information to a warrior so that he could inform Micah, since her rank wouldnât allow her to go to the King directly.
Micah was about to go to his own study after dismissing some high ranked pack members in the evening when a warrior came to relay a piece of news about Abby.
âMy King, Lady Abby has been invited to a lunch date with Miss Ruby and her friends. She left right before lunch in the afternoon,â the warrior said after bowing to the king.
When Micah received this news, he didnât think much of it. He already told Abby that she could do whatever she wanted. He too thought Abby could make some friends if she wanted to. He would respect her wishes even if she didnât like Ruby and her lot whatsoever.
He just wanted her to feel comfortable staying here, while he could be away almost all day and most of the night. And if making new friends could help her adjust to her life here quickly, it would turn out to be a good thing.
âOkay, you can leave now,â Micah dismissed the warrior, thinking up to this point. But he didnât forget to send two warriors to check on the situation when he remembered about the Fire festival.
Micah didnât think of summoning her back to the palace when he recalled Abby would enjoy the festivities as she never had the chance to go to one. The girl had been kept from all kinds of good things for a decade because of her fatherâs lapse of judgement.
And since Abby was with several of Rubyâs friends from what he heard from the warrior, he thought of letting her enjoy a nice evening.
It would be refreshing to explore the town on her own as well. She would be surrounded by an ample number of warriors anyway since she went with Ruby and her friends who were the precious daughters from the influential families of the capital city. They could manage this on their own.
However, just one hour into reading the reports he received from his warriors in the study, he saw another warrior rushing into the study and realized how wrong a simple thing could go.
My King, they say Lady Abby got lost in the crowd during the festival,â the warrior was half panting and half speaking until Micah couldnât understand what he was saying. But he heard the words lost and Abby and he felt his blood run cold.
Apparently, the warrior seemed to have come running back to the palace all the way from the festival, until he was panting. But Micah didnât have the patience to let him catch his breath first.
âWhat did you just say?â He was literally shaking, thinking how careless he had been.
And a moment later, the warrior repeated what he said earlier, albeit panting again, but Micah paid close attention to his words and his eyes turned sharper by each word he heard. How furious he got after he got the gist of this piece of news was inexplicable.
âHow the hell did it happen?â He fumed as he stormed out of the room.
1/3 15:03 Fri, 8 Mar â 1 Chapter 30 Once outside, he saw Alan and barked an order at him. âAlan, follow me.â

Alan, who had just returned from some mission to report to the King, was dumbfounded by the look on Micahâs face. But he followed him anyway when he knew it would not end well for himself if he stopped Micah right then just to satisfy his curiosity.
âAnd you, what got your tongue? Speak now!â The King demanded as he midlinked almost all the warriors from the palace to gather in the front yard..
The warrior, who reported Abbyâs missing news, felt weak in the knees but he could only swallow it as he didnât want Micah to direct his anger at himself.
âThey said it was too crowded,â the warrior couldnât finish the rest of his sentence when the king almost stopped walking and made everyone behind him, trip over their own feet.
Micah was really furious that the warrior didnât have the courage to continue what he was saying anymore.
âThey didnât bring any guards with them?â
It was Alan, who asked the warrior, who couldnât form any words, being scared to death by Micahâs death glare.
âThey did....â the other warrior, who was sent along with the first warrior to check on Abby, wanted to answer for his fellow warrior when the latter looked like he was about to faint from fear.
âThen why did it turn out like this?â Micah almost roared and the second warrior was also scared. out of his wits. How could anyone lose a grown person with their heightened abilities and everything else?
Alan could understand Micahâs feelings. Abby was completely new here and knew nothing about this place. He simply couldnât imagine how she was now. Let alone how she was feeling now.
Micah could swear on his life and say Abby would be scared to hell and back now. He felt rage so potent he was scared he would combust on the spot.
However, before either of the two warriors could muster their non-existent courage, they reached the front yard, where they saw Ruby and her friends waiting together.
As soon as one of the four girls saw Micah, they alerted Ruby and the girl immediately ran toward Micah, followed by her minions.
Apparently, to report about the situation, they were waiting for the King to show up.
Only before she could say anything, they all watched on with widened eyes and slacked jaws, as hundreds of warriors filled the front yard.
âMy King.â Rubyâs words stuck in her throat as she saw all those warriors falling in order in a disciplined manner before waiting for the Kingâs order.
Ruby couldnât believe her own eyes.
