His Sweet Little Mate

After she was done with her conversation with Arthur and coming back to the king's tower, the first thing Abby did was asking Reyna to gather enough omegas to help her prepare for her baby's introduction ceremony to the people. They all rushed to the living room in the king's tower once they heard the summons, sparing her the waiting. "Since we are strapped for time, I want this to be a simple festivity where we can let our people meet their future crown prince before offering them a nice and warm meal."

Abby then took her time explaining how she wanted the festivity to be held, letting them provide a few suggestions for decoration, food and drinks before dismissing them to finally retire to her room.

Before Arlo woke up from his nap, Abby was back in her bedroom, and breastfed her son after taking her lunch. Since she just woke up, Alyssa and Reyna made sure to limit her menu to liquid foods for the time being. "How is your shoulder?" Nadia asked Abby as she set down the bowl of medicine in front of her on the table, just as Reyna cleared it.

"If I have to be honest, I can't feel anything." Abby said truthfully. "All those pain killing herbs you made me take that day seemed to start working finally."

Nadia looked at her as if Abby had lost it, when she joked about something like that. "I think it's just numb because you have held little Arlo for so long."

Well, Abby didn't deny her, because she stupidly kept holding baby Arlo even after being done with her conversation with Arthur all the way back to her bedroom, refusing both Reyna and Deion who volunteered to give her a hand. Abby smiled wryly as she downed the bowl of bitter medicine before chuckling. "This should take care of it."

She just wanted to hold her baby, there was no wrong with it. But she still relented and reassured Nadia she wouldn't aggravate her wound further and let it heal peacefully.

Then she remembered something as she asked for Deion. "Deion, did Mirella take Alan and Dax with her?"

The personal bodyguard knew what she meant, so he immediately answered her. "Yes, My Queen. She rushed them to the dungeon the moment I sent word that you wanted them to get on with the investigation." Jo bni b.com for the full experience. You won't find the next complete chapter anywhere else. On their way back to the king's tower from Arthur's old tower, Abby urged Deion to relay an order to Mirella. She wanted them to make use of the time while she waited for Arthur to make a decision and get that follower of Calpin in their captivity talking.

Abby then let everyone leave as she finally felt relaxed enough to take a power nap before Arlo needed her again.

"The wet nurse can take care of him for you, My Queen. Why don't you focus on recovering first?" Nadia said. Even though she made sure none of the medicines she gave Abby could mess with the baby's health if he drank her milk, she thought it was better for the queen to recover fast.

Moreover, Abby's milk was nowhere near enough to satiate baby Arlo's little stomach that would start rumbling from hunger the moment he woke up everytime, as she couldn't produce enough milk because of her own poor health. The intense labor and then being injured during the attack had particular effects on her body.

Which also resulted in Nadia retaining the wet nurse, who had been limited to taking care of the baby after Abby was done feeding him. His diet was mixed for now.

However, while Abby understood she was only being hard on herself, she couldn't bring herself to deny herself these precious moments with her baby.

"It's fine, I want to do it for my baby. With the wet nurse's aid, I can tend to him just fine."

She wanted to enjoy however much time she could with her baby, because she knew how busy she would get once she was okay enough to start handling court matters again. Not to mention the festivity she was planning for Arlo.

"My Queen, about the date of the festivity, have you decided on it yet?" Alyssa asked her later that evening when the wet nurse took baby Arlo away to give him a hot bath with Reyna in her tow.

"As early as possible." Abby thought for a moment and then answered her. "In a week."

She had something big planned for that day, so she was deliberately rushing them about the preparations. She gave them a vague idea over how she wanted things to be done on that day, and left everything else in Alyssa and Reyna's care. Before dinner, Alan and Dax finally got back to her while Mirella retired to her guest bedroom to rest.

Abby led them to the strategy room, where she discussed with both of them for a long time, as they revealed their findings to her, before she let them in on her plans.

With a heavy head, Abby finally went back to her room to her baby after sending them away.

Abby spent the next morning doing nothing save for playing with her baby, and listening to a few reports. It was quite a progress compared to the day before, because her shoulder stopped throbbing like hell, now the pain at most remained as a dull ache, thanks to Nadia's pain relieving concoctions.

Alan and Dax also came to visit the little prince, who was being showered with love and affection from everyone at his every wake moment, but of course, no one overstayed their visit as they refrained from tiring him too much.

All in all, her baby had so many people to pamper him, and Abby wished he wouldn't realize his father wasn't among them, at least not yet.

She had just finished taking her lunch and medicines when Arthur came to find her. He looked around the room as if he was searching for something, and even looked a little disappointed when he finally dragged his eyes back to her.

"Arlo is with the wet nurse in the nursery room." Abby said, which left the man dumbfounded as he hurriedly denied her claims.

"I wasn't looking for him."

She just shrugged at him and Arthur glared at her.

"What did you decide?" Abby didn't beat around the bush, as she dived into business after shaking her head.

However, he didn't answer her immediately and instead asked everyone to leave first. Once it was only the two of them, Arthur finally opened his mouth. "What did they find out?"

Abby understood what he meant. He was asking about the results of the interrogation of Calpin's follower. "We have a promising result from the interrogation."

"So did you have a location to work on?" Arthur didn't know what answer he was expecting from her.

"You can say so, but it comes in the later part of my plan." Abby said vaguely. "So what is your answer, Arthur?"

The former king could see Abby wouldn't give him anything before he gave her his word to cooperate. So he relented first yet again. "What part do you want me to play in this plan?"All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
